Mrs. Harris, aged % Q IRIS, months.
We chronicle with sadness the end
of pure, noble, woman!y life. Ella
Harris possessed those Christian quail
tiles which shone in her daily life as
well as in her professions. 1t is
easy to fatter, but to those who knew
her these words only begin to do her
justice. Lovable she was loved by all;
virtuous, she was respected; womenly,
she was admired for the qualities
which made her so. There are women
who have obtained the smiles of the
world on account Of dramatic or lit
erary talents; but above this is the
true woman, whose every influence is
for good Miss Harris had been
failing for several years; but not until
about five months ago was she confined
to her bed, and since then her life
gradually went out as the sand in the
hour glass runs down, until on Wed
nesday morning, when her spirit took
flight Her parents have the universal
sympathy of the whole community in
this sad affliction. albany Democrat,

COMING.
DR.. Ffshblatt will make a Visit to Grand
Rapids, WIS.,, Saturday June 7th
Testimonials from Many Resi-
dents OF Grand Rapids.

The testimonials of DR.. Fishblatt
from the residents of Grand Rapids
are sufficient in themselves to con-
vince those who do not know him, of
his skill as physician. Many residents
of Grand Rapids are ready to add
their testimony to those already given
1t should be remembered that the
Doctor can remain only one day in
Grand Rapids. His engagements in
other cities will not permit him to
remain longer. Invallds have found
in the doctor a real benefactor. He
has given them health and strength
after years of suffering and despair.
Where other physicians have failed
DIR. Fishblatt has succeeded. If he
cannot do you any good he will tell
you so. No consultation fee asked.
For chronic diseases of every char
acter, and particularly for long troub
les, DIR. Fishblatt's method of treat
ment is beneficial. His dispensary at
GAINESVILLE, is the Mecca of hundreds
of invalids and a few have gone in
vain. If you are suffering from diseas
es of any character, call on DR.. /.
on his arrival at Grand Ripids, lay
your case before him and be assured
of sympathy and aid. He has care
fully investigated the cause of the dis
eases he so readily cures. His
motto is to remove first the cause of
disease. After that, cure is certain.
Dr. Fishblatt's advertisement in
another column of this paper speaks
for itself, and should be read by every
invalid. Be of good cheer all We who
have suffered long, should last through
life, and there may be more than hope
for you in what DR.. Fishblatt has
to offer. Be sure and see him.

While the REPORTER takes bold
stand against public wrong doors, it
does so with charity for the individual.
1t is not for the desire to condemn the
person but the act of the person. The
REPORTER always takes pleasure in
noticing the kind and benevo!elt acts
of it's citizens whenever they are made
known. The REPORTER respects the
opinions of its readers, but will not
be Influenced by what rabble of smut
may say concerning it.

Yesterday we ere invited to take
a stroll by DIR. L. okwood to the resi-
dence of Mr. II P. Johns on on Hi h
street. to make note of an operation
he had performed on the unsightly
deformity of hairlip. The patient
was the baby boy of Mr.. Johnson.
We found the deformity wholly re
moved and could hardly have told it
had existed if our attention had not
been drawn to it. The DR. said the
nostrilon the deformed side was much
larger than the other and that he had
corrected it by prolonging his missions
mp into it and taking out a small
piece and drawing it all together it
healed kindly and perfectly. To all
families who have members afflicted in
like manner we would recommend the
Doctor most heartily.
