OBITUARY,

Miss Ida Lunt, youngest daughter of
Mrs. Julia Lunt, Salem, Kenosha county,
was born five miles southwest of Ke-
nosha, April is, 1866. When she was
six months old the family moved to
Salem, where her father died Feb. Is,
1869.
From childhood she aspired to the
profession of teaching, and at the age of
seventeen took charge of school. She
taught one term in the district where
she was born, four terms in the Fleming
school, town of Randall. and three terms
in the Paddock school, Salem, where her
labors closed. Being natural teacher,
she was devoted to the work, and met
with more than ordinary success. In
the course of her preparatory studies
she attended school one term at Keno
sha, and one term in each of the Normal
schools at Whitewater and Oshkosh.
Her constant application to work over
taxed her strength, and caused the sick
ness from which she died Sunday morn
ing, Feb. IL.
Miss Lunt became member of the
M. f. church Oct. 7, 1877. Possessed
of a sweet disposition and affable man.
ners, she drew many to respect and
love her. The funeral service was
held in the Methodist church, Salem,
Monday, Feb. 10. Several schools in
the neighborhood were closed, and q
large congregation assembled at the
church to pay last tribute Of respect
to her memory. Great sympathy il
felt for the family who are thus so sorely
tbereaved.

Mr.. NJ. 8. Hamlin, one Of the best known
insurance men in North Carolina, writes
from Winston, as follows: Ever since I
was seven years of age have had what
the doctors call hip disease, and which I
call white swelling Ny hip was drawn
out of place. There was swelling at the
knee-joint, where there is profuse rum
ming, which has been there for years. OF
course this has greatly depleted my sys-
tenn, together with surgical operation on
the leg bone. :! tried every known blood
purifier to build up my system, but none
did me good until took S. s. s. use it
every spring. It always builds me up,
giving me appetite and digestion, and ena-
bles me to stand the long, trying, ener-
waiting, hot summer days. To me there is
no such medicine for purifying the blood
and building up the wasted system as
8: s. s. On using it ! soon became strong
of body and easy Of mind. My color
changed from a pale, worn look to q
healthy, robust complexion"
Mr.. G. N. Frizzel, of Farmersville,
Texas, writes: "About August LIST, 1866,
an eruption appeared on my arms and
legs, which panied me much and seemed
to affect my physical condition generally.
On the advice Of physician at this place,
I finally commenced using Swift's Specific.
I am glad to say that after using three
large bottles the sores have all healed"

THE TUNNEL AT LIBBY PRISON.

The March Century will contain the
story of Colonel Roses Tunnel at
Libby Prison." told by one of the one
hundred and nine Union officers who
escaped on the night of February g.,
1864. The successful construction of
this tunnel, dug from dark corner of
the cellar of the prison, through fifty
feet of solid earth-the only tools being
two broken chisels and wooden spit
toon in which to carry out the dirt
was one of the most remarkable Incl
dents of the war.
Colonel Rose, to whose indomitable
will and perseverance the success Of
the scheme was due. is now a captain in
the 18th United States Infantry, and of
the fourteen men who assisted him in
digging the tunnel, eleven are still living.
The narrative in the March Century,
which is illustrated, forms one of the
untechnical papers supplementing the
War Series, and it is said to be one of
the most romantic records the The
Century has ever printed.

were well rendered, and evidently
were the result of good training, com.

mention. The selections by the Wilmot
Band were exceedingly good and a
valuable addition to the evenings en-
tertainment. The receipts were about
$37.

DEAR Mr.. CHESTER.
In regard to your Cure, can say that
| think it an excellent preparation. l
have used it and have come much In
contact with its use. The best estimate
of its intrinsic worth is to be drawn
from the fact that the sales increase
steadily with little or no advertising.
One person recommends it to another,
and its sale is based, in my opinion.
more upon its worth as remedy than
upon the results of public advertising
done in the past. Yours truly,
