SMALLPOX,

Our city authorities have ordered
a general vaccination as a precaution-
ary measure to prevent the spreading
of smallpox. This recalls to men,
DRY an incident In connection with
the small pitt placed in our arm in
early youth. In 1864. at the age of
II, we were a medical student in
Mexico, and q case of small pox
broke out, and there could be found
no n to look after it. At our sug-
question the patient was conveyed to
a little house on the old fair ground
where W fed him for some days,
without fear of evil consequences to
ourselves.-Frank Bys6eld, in Fultou
Enterprise.

Several of our exchanges make
mention that one of Mexico's young
men, while in st. Louis, vas fined for
carrying concealed weapons. The
facts in the case are, that the young
man went into a store and bought q
pistol. and before lie had walked q
block was arrested by a private de-
tective who saw him buy it.

DR.. 7. S. Potts and his handsome
and accomplished lady were united
in marriage ct Republic, Missouri, on
the 18th OF February, 1866. Fifteen
years have passed over their heads
since then, years that to the ordinary
mortal would be frsught with many
vlcissitudes, with dangers, trials,
temptations with ups and downs,
alternate joys and sorrows that at the
end leave an u~nmistakable impress
upon the mind and features. But
DR.. and Mrs. Potts have been unusu-
ally favored. Perfectly mated, pos
sessed Of sunny and amiabIe DISPOSE
tons and living for each other, the
world has not used them hsrshly,
and to-day ne e the n looking
like q man wis is at peace with So
ciety and himself; the other with
countenance unmarked with care and
looking withal younger by ten years
than her actual age. Last evening at
Champion Hall they celebrated their
crystal wedding, and at 9 o'clock
we're the centre of a merry thrsng,
comprising over one hundred of our
best ciizens, their wives and daugh-
tiers, and receiving with happy hearts
the congratulations that we're show
cred upon them. The occasion was
one that will long be remembered,
not only by the host and hostess, but
by the many who were present as in
yited guests. The presents we're
numerous, handsome and costly, aud
placed upon two large tables in the
center of the hall, were admirably
viewed throughout the evening. The
festivities consisted of games, musical
and literary exercises and charming
social converse. Miss Lois Singletary
gave her sweetest selection, Miss
Potts favored the guests with a piano
solo, Miss Lou Hartman sang in her
usual captivating style and others
contributed their share towards max
ing the evening pass pleasantly. AT
the banquet Miss Lou Hartman, Miss
Lue Bethel and Miss Hattie Bostick
served as mattresses, in navy blue
suits. A number of toasts we're given
and responded to and good kumor
reigned supreme. The general wish
and it IS the wish of all who know
the Doctor and his amiable lady
was that their future lives may be all
sunshine and happiness and that they
NAV live to celebrate their diamond
wedding.
We clipped the above from a San
Jose ~(Calfornia) paper. DR.. Potts
and wife have many warm friends in
Mexico, who would have been pres
ent in body, instead of spirit As they
were, but for the long distance in
tervening.

Particularly the practice Of taking
medicines into the system by way of
the stomach for diseases of the kid
neys. 1t is an old treatment, we'll
tried, and proven inefficient. The
true method is absorption, as proven
by the great uccess of Days Kid
ney's Pad.
l had no faith in your mode of
treating diseases of the kindneys un-
til I tried it, and cured myself of a
complaint that the doctors pronounc-

roads OF the Gould system extending through
the southwest. The last mentioned under.
