If you will accept it, | will write a
short article from this place and will
not assure you that it will be inter-
esting to you all, but perhaps it will
be, to many families of Russcllville
and the surrounding country who
are old acqnaintances of the "Gor
don" family.
II has now been several weeks since
my arrival in Illinois. How swiftly
the time flies when one is enjoying
himself! have just finished the
rounds visiting my many relatives.
| first arrived at Grcenvle where
my Grandfather lives. Although his
head has become hoary from the
many years that have crept over
llm, yet he is hale and hearty, and
as lively and jovial as many who
have not passed the summer Of life.
He is In his sixty ninth year. He is
doing large practice in this place
and the surrounding country. This
is beautiful town Of about twenty
five hundred, located on hill and
from it's magnificent conrt honse
lately completed, you can view the
prairIes from either side reaching
out for many miles, and on the small
elev alton here and there, see valua
BILE residences erected which certain
ly furnish many pleasant homes. AS

/ went from here to visit my I'm
Gle at Pocahontas (John H. Gordon J.
He and my Aunt Emily E, appear
as they are but in the prime of life
and are both enjoying good health.
As my Aunt has many relatives in
Russellville, of course the questions
were not few that they asked about
her kinfolk and many friends that
they have there. Pocahontas is a
small town beautifully located with
an extensive prairle on the one side
and some we'll timbered country on
another. The town and surround
ing country afford my Uncle large
practice. next went to Powell
Gordon's (my Uncle at Ramsey,
Fayette Coz He is doing we'll. HIS
wife has been in bad health for some
time but she is now recovering.
The visit l made last was at Tay-
lor Gordon's (my Uncle living at
Carlyle, Clinton Coz Many OF Rus
sellviIle have heard of the misfor-
tune that overlook him Of having his
leg amputated. The trouble origl-
mated from his sitting up one night
with sick child of his own and rest

answers to them. Yes, sir, / could

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense OF weight In the back, loins ana
lower part Of the abdomen, causing the
patient 10 suppose he had some aiiec-
tion of the kidneys or Dcighboring orr
gans. At times, symptoms Of indiges-
tion are present, as ilatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture.
like perspiration, producing q very
disagreeablc itching, after getting
warm, Is very common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield
at once to the application Of DR. Boz

ly upon the part affected, absorbing the
'fumors, allaying the intense itching,
and eifecting a permanent cure. Price.
