MEETING OF MOTHER AND son.
Aner "a Separation or u Long Years.
One of those happy reunions that
occur seldom in life time took place
in this city a day or two ago in the
meeting of Mr. David Gentle, now a
well-to do farmer of Fairfax county,
Va, and his widowed mother, Mrs.
Anna Gentle, living on Randall street
in this city, after a separation of 81
years. The meeting between mother
and so1 was quite affecting. Each
had thought the other dead until
short time ago, When a letter from
the son brought the gladstone tidings
to the mother that her only child was
living, and led to the happy reunion.
Thirty-one years ago Mrs. Gentle
lost her husband. David was then
an infant. They lived in Washing
ton. When IL years old the boy was
put to work on farm in Fairfax
county, the mother remaining in
Washington to support herself as best
she could. He liked farming, and his
employers always spoke of him as an
industrious youth At the beginning
oJ the civil war, at the age of 90 years,
young Gentle threw down his farm
ing implements and entered Vir-
ginia regiment in the Confederate
army. He lost an arm at the battle
of Petersburg, after which he was
discharged. Becoming married in
1866, he settled down to farming in
Fairfax county, and acquired fair
livelihood, and has been living in that
locality ever since. Mr.. Gentle had
believed his mother dead, but his
wife, be said, had often remarked that
he would find her some time. Two
years ago alady, who knew his mother,
in travelling through Virginia heard
the name of Gentle mentioned in
railroad car. Approaching the party
addressed she questioned him about
his parents, and becoming satisfied
that she had discovered the lost son,
told him where he would likely
find his mother. She said Mrs.
Gentle who had son David lived in
Washington few years previous,
and promised to make inquiries about
her and to let the son hear from her
when she returned The lady went
to Europe and remained a year, and
returning to Washington learned that
Mrs. Gentle had moved to Annapolis.
and so informed the son when she
next met him. On learning that his
mother was living at Annapolis,
without a moments delay the son
wrote to her, propounding certain
questions, to establish the relation
ship, which he knew only his mother
could answer satisfactorily. IL few
days the welcome answer came from
the mother, containing endearing
messages of love, and requesting her
son to come to her, which he did at
the first opportunity. Mrs. Gentle
is sixty-five years old and her son
forty-four The mother has been in
vited to spend the balance of her
days on pleasant little farm in old
Virginia, and share the hospitaIities
of the place with a daughter-in-law
and an only grandchild, and she will
probably accept.

sake of the balance of mankind who may be
suffering, wish to give you my experience
with lone of your Georgia remedies. l have
been afflicted with scrofula for more than
twelve years: have had sores on me as large
as mans hand for that length Of time, and
last summer was so bad of that l could rot
wear any clothing. Everybody, including
myself, had given me up to die, and said
l would be dead man in three months.
had taken hundreds of bottles of all kinds Of
medicines, had spent hundreds of dollars with
physicians and had ruined my system with
mercury and potash, when friend told me
of the wonderful cures made by Swift's
Specific. got it and began its use, and soon
found it was just what wanted. In short
time it cured me sound and we'll. Thousands
of dollars could not buy from me what Swift's
Specific has done for me. The county off,
Gals, and in fact everybody in the county will
bear witness to what have written, for l
was q well-known case.
Yours respectfully, X. L. HIGH.

The enterprising tailor who is up with the
times begins to talk about spring goods and
spring styles. There are no very radical
changes from last year. Solid colors in
shades of blue, green and brown will be in
favor for spring overcoats. which will be cut
medium in length. and with long roll. Light
Meltons will be occasionally worn. In coats
for business suits there will not be much
change. Sinsle-breasted sacks and cutaways
will take the lead. For material, mixed,
broken plaids will be the thing. The dude
must now give up in despair; pants will be cut
somewhat larger in size and the daily strug-
gle when dressing will soon be thing of the
past. A new and handsome style in dress
coats is shown. Instead Of the swallow tail
the coat falls in graceful curves around the
hips, the old angles in that portion of the
garment being dispensed with. The width
I" the lower extremity, is no greater, how
ever, than in the swallow tail.
