Barrlnger was treated for several years for what
the physicians called Leucorrhea and Prolapsus
Uterl combined. j sent her to Richmond, Va
t where she remained for six months under the
treatment of an eminent Physician without any
permanent benefit. She was induced to try your
medicine and after reasonable time commenced
to improve and is now able to attend to her BUSH

the year which were replete with
interesting data, among which
was the announcement that the re.
ceipts of cotton for 1884 5 was 42,l68
bales and for 1856, $1,000 bales. He
also announced that a dividend on the
capital stock of Is per cent. had been
declared and was ready for delivery.
The dividend declared was about 174
per cent, but the q vas retained as "a
contingent fund, ali of which indicates
that the business Of the press Is in a

best paying investments in the city of

Capt. c. D. Willis called the atten-
ton of the members of the company
to the fact that we are soon to have a
new cotton exchange, and said each
one should exert themselves to build
up the exchange.
Mr. Richardson thought there should
be established a greater number Of
cotton houses and induce an increase
of receipts.
Many laudable propositions have
made for the good Of trade, but Mr.,
Aelx Kuhn capped the climax when
he arose and said, Gentlemen, l am the
steward Of this company; followed me-
and they all followed and found that
he rendered a good account Of his
stewardship, and all partook of lunch.
