An Interesting Occasion at the George

Despite yesterdays excessive heat the
George street Methodist church was filled

The church last night never presented more
attractive sight. On the invitation of the new
pastor, the Rev. Joseph Baird, formerly of
Cypress Hill, L. l., the Admiral Foote post,
G. A. R., and the Sons of Veterans occupied
the center aisle seats. The chancel was
draped with flags and bunting and choice
summer blossoms. In front of the reading
desk gigantic copy of the veterans g. A.
R. badge was placed and the chancel rails
beneath were concealed with the folds of the
national emblem. The preacher of the even

AS text he selected the we'll known passage
from the twenty-seeond chapter of St. Mat
thew: ''Render, therefore, unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars and unto God the
things that are Gods" The sermon was in
structive and able, and the latter portion
was devoted to a eulogy of the brave men
who fought for the flag, the cause they

A Great Victory =
A Terrible Case Of ScrofuIa
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIIa

"In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time 1 had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around nay neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, I was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the abscesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully 1ess.' I do not know what it may
have done for others, but do know that in
my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
my gratitude I send these facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it." CHARLES A. ROB-

cure a great victory for Hoods Sarsaparilla.

From Denton.

We had the pleasure yesterday OF pc
rusing letter from Col. j. Waldo, traffic
commissioner, written In response to
recent communication from President
Austin on the question Of transportation
to the next annual meeting Of our State
association. The colonel speaks in com.
plimentary terms OF the iremen Of Texas
and will cheerfuliy assist US in attaining
the desired end. President Austin feels
encouraged and will place the CORE
spondence in the hands OF the committee
on transportation pending advice from
Col. Waldo. Much sympathy is express
ed among our boys for the unfortunate
condition Of the Victoria fire department,
and IL is to be hoped thtt the appeal OF
our afflicted brethren will meet with a
ready response.
