A PREVENTIVE
OF Typho-M alarial Fever and Cure
for Rheumatism at Last
niacovarad


BY the firm OF Hughes Bros, manu-.
featuring chemists of Dallas, Texas.
This enterprising firm have for the
last five years been engaged in the
manufacture of baking powders, wines,
cider, vinegar, etc. DIR. +. ID Hughes,
who presides over their laboratory,
gagged in the study and practice Of
medicine and chemistry. They also
have ia their laboratory Prof. Geo. G.
Calhoun, who has for many years been
teacher Of chemistry, also Mr.. ].
Price Warrick, a graduate Of chemistry
In the University Of PhiladelphiS.
These gentlemen In manufacturing
the various articles already mentioned,
have found it necessary to combat ex
cessive lamentations, whether vinous,
acetous or alcoholic, which have ever
stood IN the way of successfully man
ufactuTing wine, vinegar and alcohol
in our Southern climate. The expert
ments have resulted in the discovery
OF an agent which completely obviates
this difficulty. This agent Is the ex-
tract OF the bark of tree indigenous
TO the state Of Texas. Carrying their
experiments still further, they have
ascertained that this same extract
as completely controls the only re-
naming fermentation known to the
! arts and sciences, viz: Blood fer
mentation, which Ia the cause of fe-
vers as well as Of rheumatism. This
agent they have combined with the
extracts Of ginger and lemon, thereby
rendering il most etlicacious as well
as delightful and pAlatRble beverage.
| 1t Is not only one OF the best tOnics in
its effects, but the use of it efiectually
| prevents typhO-mRlarial fever. At the
same time it is sure cure for rheuma.
tism. DR.. Hughes Extract of Lemon
and Ginger is put up in eases Of two
dozen bottles, and can be found at all
hHt-class drug and grocery stores.

The announcement that Emma Alb

are coming will be welcome one to
every lover Of music In this section.
They are now en- route for the East
from San Francisco, with q success
that has been simply Overwhelming,
and will stop over the 28th instto give
one performance. The entire company
comprising ilfty-one persons, will be
here. II will be gala OCCASION and
that our people will make the most OF
this OPPORTUNITY TO hear grand opera
Is foregone conclusion. In the INST OF
artiats are Emma Abbott, Laura
Belini. Lizzie Onnandale, William
Cestle, Sig. Fabrini, Sig. Taglispietra,
VIM. Broderlck, Walter Allen and q
number OF others less known but pop
ular singers Full particulars OF the
opera selected and the artists who are
to appear will be given in few days
That which pleases some people
vexes Others, aud some Of the social
customs are OF doubtful propriety on
this score. The custom Of filling up the
programme at the balls as soon as the
dancers enter the hall has come IN for
considerable abuse lately. The society
reporter saw several very disconsolate
looking young gentlemen at the mar
ried folks ball last Thursday night
and when aaked why they carried
such long faces, said that the pro-
grammes OF all the ladies they knew
we're filled and consequently they
were wall-foweTs. They had arrived
late aud though probably they de
served what they got, 1t was with feel
ings OF envy they watched the more
fortunate jewellers, who had arrived
early, and taking, advantage of 2
custom and their opportunity, had 80
lected partners for each dance on the
programme.

THE FIRST on WELL.-On August q,
1884, there was celebrated in one of tire
western towns of Pennsylvania the 18th
anniversary of the first oil well ever
drilled. 1t was sunk near Titusyile, and
yielded ten barrels a day, the product be-
ing then known as rock oil, This was the
humble beginning of the business which
now employs vast number of laborers,
millions of capital, and exported last year
over 00,000,000 gallons of petroleum. No
better idea of the worlds progress can be
gained than BY the recollection that coal
oil, in itself an immense improvement over
all preceding means of illumination, has
in twenty-five years come into general use
and been superseded by illuminants as far
superior TO it as it was to the old tallow
dip. Gas and the electric light have taken
its place in all the cities and towns of any
size, and the only hope for the trade lies
in either finding or creating further mark
cts for the product Abroad Mechanics.
