A Voice from Providence, r.. L.

FOR twenty years 1 have been afflicted with
a dreadful blood poison, and during all those
years L have had the best medical advice in
the country, the physicians prescribing the
only remedies known, such as Mercury and
lodide OF Potassium, all to no purpose. was
SIX months in Bellevue Hospital, and became
so Dad that l despaired of getting well. l
then, through advice, went to Europe and
tried some of the best physicians there with
the same results, and | returned again to this
country. Finally 1 went to New Orleans, be-
ing told that the French doctors understood
the treatment of my case better, and perhaps
could cure me. Alas, however, after taking
more mercury and potassium from them, | be-
came so much worse that / gave up to die
So bad had I become that l was a sight to be-
held. | had large ulcers all over my body and
face. There were holes in my legs that You
could put a hens egg in, clear down to the
bone. a number of pieces of bone came out
at my ankle, and now I carry the scars on my
face and body of the ~frightful character of this
disease. then came back to Providence, and
by chance got hold of a paper with the adver-
tisement of Swift's Specific in it of a wonder
full cure. AS a last hope l thought I would
try it. Thanks be to God, l can say to-day
that / am perfectly cured, having taken med
icine about three months. Up to the present
date no symptoms of the disease have return
ed, and 1 feel as well as before l was poison
ed. | have nothing but two scars to show
that l was ever afflicted. I consider S. S. S.
the best and only remedy to positively cure
blood poison, and | honestly recommend it to
all who are afflicted as l was.

Judge GiImore's Vote.

CAMDEN, o., Aug. 81, 1885.
Ed. observation-disclosures your valua-
BILE paper of this date you say: Judge
Gilmore received a very complimentary
vote in the Democratic Convention for
Judge of the Supreme Court. But what
was the matter with the Preble county
delegation that it voted against him ?"
l mailed you a postal the other day
saving Preble's six votes were cast for
Judge Gilmore, but l presume it did not
reach you in time to make the correc-
ton. The facts are these: All of the
delegates present from this county were
favorable to Judge Gilmore and | an
nounced the vote for him in the conven-
ton. He received every vote from this
Congressional District. Two delegates
from Warren or Clermont counties waiv-
ed friendship for Judge Martin and voted
for Judge Gilmore in order to cast the
District solid. He also received every
vote from Darke, Montgomery and Mi
ami counties, and / believe would have
been nominated had not Hamilton coun-
ty been almost a unit against him. The
other votes as given in the ENQUIRER
the only paper in which I saw the vote
recorded-of the 21st, are correct.
hoping you Will publish these facts, |
remain
Very respectfully yours,
DAVID PIERCE.
[Mr. Pierce's postal was received las
week after our paper had gone to press
The vote of Preble county was put dowI
against Judge Gilmore in all the reports
published. We do not understand how
it occurred, but are glad to make thu
correction. 7-ED, DEM.

DEATHS.

ROBESON-Mrs. Mary R. Robson died at
the residence of her daughter, Mr.. Casey, 3
miles south of Eaton, Aug. 10Th, 1885, aged
IS years, 10 months and Is DAYS.
Mrs. Robson came to Eaton when quite
young, and was married to Samuel Robson
in the year 1927. Her maiden name was Ac-
ton, and was a sister to John P. Acton and
Mrs. Isabel Hubbell, of Eaton. She leaves
seven children to mourn her loss. Her hus-
band died more than 20 years ago, on the farm
two miles west of Eaton. Since that time she
has made her home with Mrs. Casey. Grand
mother Robson was well known and much re-
spected in all this community. Her funeral
was attended by a large concourse of friends
on Sunday afternoon at the NJ. E. Church.

The First steeI-Pen NIakers.

The word Pen, in Holy Scriptures, refers to
either an iron style, or to a reed; the latter
being the earliest form of pen used for writing
on papyrus.
One of the earliest attempts to make steel
pens is attributed to VIM. Gadbury, England,
who, for his own use, constructed a clumsy
article from the main spring of a watch.
Steel Pens were first brought into use about
the year 1903.
James Perry, of London, commenced tc
manufacture pens in 1924, and was the founder
the largest pen makers in the world.
Their celebrated "U" and Falcons for cor.
respondents, and fine points Nos. A. o. 4 ant

stubbs Family Reunion.

Family reunions are numerous tits
true, but they only go to show the kind
parental spirit that p%ervades the human
breast and by separation and long alb
sence year by year strengthens the bands
of family ties. What other occasion in
all their lives can afford the dear, white
haired fathers and mothers a delight
like that of gathering children, and grand
children and great-grand-children around
the old homestead and exchanging heart
felt congratulations, pleasant smiles and
recalling happy recollections long for
gotten in the worlds battle of life?
The reunion of the Stubs family,
which was arranged for and came off
last Friday in a beautiful grove on the
farm of Hon. Jesse Stubs, close to the
pleasant and quiet little village of West
Elkton, was the most extensive affair OF
the kind that ever occurred in this
ty, fully n thousand people being pres
ent. A large wigwam was erected on
the ground under which numerous tables
were placed that groaned with the "good
things of the "Quaker Village" to feed
the friends and visitors. A handsome
stand was erected for the old pioneers
and speakers, which was draped in the
national colors and displayed the coat-of-
arms OF the Stubs family sen over from
England. An address of welcome was
delivered by John Stubs and respond
edto by representatives of the family
from different States, after which a bio
graphical sketch of the Stubs family
was read by Lewis D. Stubs, Esq, of
Richmond, Ind, dating back from the
year 17lS to the present time.
Dinner was then served and everybody
on the grounds fed with an abundance to
spare. Music was furnished by the West
Elkton Band and the choir sang "Auld
Lang Syne." Jesse Stubs then read a
genealogical history of the family, which
he has been at work with for about fifty
years. Letters were received from num-
erous members of the family throughout
the United States expressing regrets at
their inability to be present. Short and
entertaining addresses were delivered by
Hon. H. L. Morey and DR.. Ellis, of
Hamilton. 1t was certainly a happy and
pleasant gathering. About 300 of the
Stubs family were present out of 1880
that it numbers! Eight States were rep
resented, the cold Keystone" sending
twelve representatives. Everybody pres
ent enjoyed themselves and went away
happy. The chords of greatful hearts
were touched, and the deep reciprocal
tones of remembrance will echo back for
years to come the joyous day.
A reception, which was participated in
by the older members, was held at the
residence of Hon. Jesse Stubs on Satur-
day afternoon, after which the m
Gus relatives prepared to return to their
homes, many of which are far distant
from the scene of the happy gathering.
Mrs Maddox, son and daughters have
the thanks of the editor Of the DEMOCRAT
and ''better half" for the hospitable en-
tertainment extended them on the
ground.

to those similarly afflicted to say that by the

THE HONEST SHAKER, although he does not
boast of his purity, always makes goods that
can be relied upon; for instance, his Shaker
Extract of Roots (Siegel's Syrup is really a
valuable article. 1t is not recommended as a
c~ure-all, but as a remedy for one single dis
ease, viz: Indigestion, in which disease. it
works like a charm. aug6-lm

As one by one the fathers in our Order are

a venerable brother in the person of Father
James Higgins, who died at West Alexan-
dria on the 10Th of August; therefore,
Res0lUed, That in his death King Hiram
Lodge has lost one of its oldest and most ex-
emplary members, who, since 1872, has been
a faithful, conscientious and consistent mem
Der of our Mystic Order; one who for many
years served acceptably in various official
stations in the Lodge, and who died as he
lived, respected and esteemed by all who
knew him.
Reso1red, That the sympathy of this and
~neighboring Lodges be extended to the fami-
ly and friends of our deceased brother, and
that these resolutions be spread upon the

What a terrible affection about the house is
a cross, crying baby! A young man on the
very edge of matrimony might easily be fright

that sort of music at the homes of his married
friends. Yet babies cry commonly only when
they are sick. One teaspoonful of Parker's
Tonic, given the little, one, will bring rest and
sleep to the baby and all in the house. Only
so cents, at druggists. [anb6-Im
