Certificate Of Pomroy's Chill Cure.
CHURCH HILL, KY, Aug. 9, 1884,
For year or more, had been hav-
ing chills; and could find nothing to
cure them. l tried quinine and many
other things, but the chills continued
to get worse until l despaired of ever
curing them. l finally tried Pom
roy's chill cure and from the first dose
of it until this time 1 have not had a
chill. l am now in fine health and
entirely cured of the chills. l say
positively that Pomroy's chill cure is
a splendid medicine and to my GER
tain knowledge it will cure the worst

CADIz TELEPHONE: "Uncle York"
Shoemaker told us the following sto-
ry a few days ago, and vouches for
its truthfulness. About daylight
one morning his wife and Miss Sue
Pitts called to him to hasten and
come to the door. AS he was hur-
rying out of the house, he heard. an
unusually rumbling noise in the di-
rection of the old grave yard. When
he opened the door he observed a
perpendicular line of smoke rising
lust above the trees, which lasted on
ly second before it entirely disap-
peared. He was informed by his
wife and Miss Pitts that the smoke
was caused by a blue blaze Of fire
which rose simultaneously out of
the ground. The blaze was preced-
cd by rumbling noise, and it all
lasted about five seconds. A few
DAYS afterwards he examined the
ground, but could see no evidences
of fire or any unusual disturbances
of the ground. This is certainly
very strange, as there was no smoke
visible from any of the chimneys OF
the houses near by. What was itP
"Uncle York" and all parties who
witnessed the sight, kept tia secret
for long time, for fear of being
called supersttious. 1t was only by
mere chance that he mentioned it a
few days ago, when we promptly
hunted him up and got this account

JOEL GUTMAN & COS
Mammoth Embellishments,
80, 80, "a and 81 Il. EutaH St.

Une of the largest. most successful
and extensive establishments of its
kind in the country is the well-known
house of JOEL GUTMAN & Co North
Eutaw street. Baltimore. The enor-
nous Increase of business of this es-
tablishment within the past year ne
cessitates the charging of their,
quarters. On the site of the present
stores, Q magnificent structureis soon
to be erected which promises to eclipse
in size and architectural beauty all
buildings of the kind in the city. IN
consequence Of this rebuilding of
their stores, their entire stock, which
for extent and variety has no superior,
will have to be sold. The great bar
gains which are now offered cannot
be disrcgarded by anybody. The
necessity of selling ont has not in the
leest affected the preparations which
are always made for the holidays
Messrs. Joel Gutman & Co. realized
that the interest Of their customers
must be attended to under al circunl-
stances, and they now have in stock
every variety of goods suitable for
Christmas gifts. To one entering the
store the sight is particularly attrac-
tive and instructive. The rich and
beautiful goods piled up high on
tables and counters. the shelves filed
with articles to gladden. every eye
and suit every fancy, the busy girls
behind the counters, cutting, folding
and measuring with their deft fingers,
and, above all, the numerous hurry
ing throng. All these sights lend a
charm to the scene and give rise to
many thoughts To give in detail
list of the goods offered for sale would
require many columns, so only o few,
Of the latest and most desirable will
be mentioned. Messrs. Joel Gut
man 4 Co. have the proud title ofthe
leading lace house. Their line of
these goods 10 one of the largest and
most valuable in the country. Few
people realize how great an outlay is
necessary for complete line Of ere
lAces. Indeed, the expense Is SO
enormous that only the larger dealers
carry the finer grades. In the cur
tain department the assortment In
cludes every style and every price. =
Great reductions have been made in
the higher grade goods, and colbert,
renaissance and stained glass curtains
may be had at low prices. Atspress

Connecticut Cats.

A cat in Connecticut, finding that she
could not live peaceably with dogs and
other cats, took her kittens in her teeth,
one ut a time. and scratched her way
up the bark of big elm in the front
yard, and slowed them in hole in the
tree, eighteen feet from the ground,
that was two feet deep, with an open
ing just large enough for her to crawl
through. There she enjoyed life with
her family. When she was off calling
at night she knew that the kittens were
safe. She was in the hole from early
in August until heavy rainstorm came
and the tree leaked. In the height Of
the storm she crawled out with kitten
in her mouth and transferred it to the
house cellar. With great difficulty she
carried all the kittens to the cellar.
Another eat disliked the confinement
incurred in watching four kittens all
day, and she placed them under 0
motherly hen which was trying to hatch
porcelain egg in nest two feet away
in the same haymow. The hen CLICKED,
lifted her wings, and welcomed the lit
ter. The cat went of to while away
the day, returning at night, and took
back her offspring. Each morning
thereafter the kittens were put off on
the hen, the cat strolled away. and the
hen entertained them by clucking to
them until the cat came back at night.
They answered to both the clucking Of
the hen and the specific maternal call.
The hen sat on the kittens for about
two weeks, and then they ran away,
leaving her diseonsolate.

AT the same meeting the Board will

but not accepted. A letter from Lex
ington reiterates the statement that it
is confidently hoped that some arrange
ment will be made to relieve General
Lee Of the exacting labors that are tell
ing upon his health, and thus retain his
invaluable services. The difficulty, says
the letter, /" is to induce him to consent
to putting any part of his work upon
another even for time"
