A Forty Years. Sufferer Cured.

AS a specific for transient or chronic
piles, G. G. G. has worked marvellous
cures. Among them is Mr.. Shields,
of Oakwoods, Texas, who had piles for
forty years. He had utterly despaired
of being helped by medical aid, aban-
doned all labor, and the past year was
subject to fearful spasms, By which his
body was drawn into contOrtions. On
one occasion of his sutferings, Col.
Manning, a friend aud distinguished
citizen, happened to be present, sent
for the C. g. G. medicine, and it was
afterwards applied, giving instant re-
relief. Mr.. Shields was before moi
able to walk or ride, but after using
the c. G. G. medicine for one week
he was out attending to business a,
usual. He is now free from the eff
feet of The piles, and considers the Z
G. G. the grandest medicine of tht
age. Sold by Stewart q banner.

In the Swain case, President Arthur's re-

martial until he finally bulldozed the court into
altering its verdict from suspension of three

results, is disgraceful. His persistent attempt
to have it find Swain guilty Of Conduct I'M

THE old Winter pastime of two or

disappeared with many customs of the
past from the sport-lOving element OF
the farming community. There are
not so many hounds as formerly, but
when they are got together there is

AN invention which bids fair to make
Wilmington still more widely known
throughout the country, is the Patent
Pipe-COvering, patented by our friends,
James F. Wood & Co., front and
Orange streets Wilmington. They
have secured patents in Canada as well
as the United States, and are very
busily engaged in filling local orders,
as we'll as orders from more distant
points. They are fully up on the i'm
pOrtant methods of pipe-cOvering, and
blend and use their different processes
as may be best suited for the work in
hand. For heater-pipes they use min
eral wool, for water and steam pipes
they use rock wool in combination with
their patent pipe-cOvering, making the
best non conductor known to the scien-
tiic world. 1t is indestructible. Fire,
water, rats, or vermin of any kind,
don't affect it in the least. The saving
of heat for hot-air furnaces is from
twenty-five to fifty per cent, and for
steam, from forty to seventy per cent.
Messrs. Wood & Co., will be glad to
explain their process to any one who
will call.
