Jail to give these prisoners better quarters.

Leesburg Leesburger: The Lady Lake
miracle was all the talk here yesterday. 1t
happened on Thanksgiving day. The par
ticulars in brief are these: 8. B. Thompson,
a well-known citizen of Lady Lake, and a
man of family, has been helpless cripple
for four years A spinal disease, which hud
been pronounced by all the doctors as in
durable, was the cause of his helpless con-
dition. On Wednesday night he dreamed
that God told him to go to church next day,
so to the altar and pray, and get the con-
gregation to pray for him, and he would be
cured. Accordingly, without telling his
dream, he had himself carried to the churca
and at the close of the services he was
placed at the altar The congre cation, led
by Rev. J. $. Collier, prayed for him and
he, also, prayed for himself aloud. He
saws that while praying he thrice heard a
still small voice saying, arise md walk"
The third time the voice was quite distinct
and positive, and he obeyed at once. Risi g
to his feet he cried out, ut is done" and he
started to walk out of the church, j. w.
Dyches and others undertook to
support him, fearing that he
would fall; but he waved them off
and walked firmly and steadily out of the
church and down the street and into bis
own house, shouting and praising God He
is now perfectly cured aud walks as easily
as any one After being cured he told his
dream. All Lady Lake, Leesburg aud the
intermediate country are agog over this
miracle, for it was witnessed by about 200
people, and is as well and reliably attested
as any event can possibly be. The Lees
burger is thoroughly satisfied that these
particulars are absolutely true
