CATARRHAL DANGERS

To be freed from dangers of suffocations
while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep
soundly and Endisturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear, brain active and free from pain or
ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid mat
ter defiles the breath and rots away the deli
cate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; TO
feel that the system does not, through its
veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is
sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed a
blessing beyond all other human enjoyments.
To purchase immunity from such a fate
should be the object of all afflicted
But those who have tried many remedies and
physicians despair OF relief of cure.

phase of Catarrh from simple head cold to
the most loathsome and destructive stages. 1t

ing, permanent in curing, safe, economical

Lawson stood looking at poor Lucy In
heap at his feet, her face covered with
her hands. What pen can describe the
terrible feelings OF such q girl in such a
position, once SO full Of life, whose gay
talk and winsome ways cheered her
father's heart. Deeply did she feel the
humiliation Of going in the dust before
him who had SO basely treated her. but
to save her honor she would have done
anything; pity, did, for a moment enter
his heart, but he crushed 1t.

purse, take this, and my advice, 20 in

Lucy rose to her feet. her eyes
sparkled in the moonlight and she
looked steadily at Lawson who still held
the purse towards her.
"Unfeeling wretch, you have robbed
me OF all, honor, father and home: you
think you can now heal q mortal wound
with money. No! and b. fore you shall
make another's life worse than death,
will kill you"
She sprang upon him, burying her
fingers In his throat. he soon released
himself from the deathlike grasp. hurl-

Lucy came to herself while West
talked to the unconscious Lawson by

them, especially mothers who have babes with

JULY'S DRY DAYS,
Last Month the Dryest on Record
Signal Officer Salisburv,s Ranort.

Last Month the Dryest on Record
Signal Officer Salisbury's Report.
The remarkable meteorological features
of July were its GOODNESS, its absence of
storms and, as consequence of the latter,
its scanty rainfall The early part of the
month was warmer than the average. The
latter part was decidedly cooler, SO much so
as to bring the average for the month A.
lower than the normal for July and q
lower than the average of July last year
The months rainfall, 80 inches, is the small
est amount for any July on record.
The month was extremely dry; during
the latter part occurred frequent light
thunder showers, but thew were not heavy
enough to make the rainfall appreciate.
The remarkably light rainfall of the past
four months, viz. j.: April OIL, May 8. 90,
June 80 July 0.S2, is due to the fact that
no cyclonic or Gulf storms of any consid-
cradle energy have passed over the south
Atlantic states during the entire season.
The wind movement has been considerably
less than the normal The total amount
was 4, 757 miles.
The warmest day In the month was the
sth, when mercury went up to 99' The
mean temperature of the month compared
with the mean temperature of July for the
past seventeen years is as follows:

ANOTHER CASE OF MAYHEM.
A Prisoner Plays a Sharp Trick on an
Officer and EscapeS

William Reed a colored porter in the
employ of the Savannah, Florida and West
ern railway, was arrested yesterday on a
warrant issued from Justice Russell's court
charged with mayhem by William Hub
bard, coIored preacher or exhorter, who
alleges that Reed bit a piece out of his
land in an alteration in a room rented by
Reed on Huntingdon, near West Broad
street. Officers Harvey and Simmons went
out with Reed yesterday afternoon to let
him hunt up bondsman. and Harvey was
separated from them on other business
Reed asked Simmons to let him go into a
house where colored woman whom he
knew might sign for him, and
Simmins consented. After long waiting,
Reed failed to come out; was called
and no answer came. Simmons than began
to feel that he was tricked, and entering
the house found that Reed had passed on
through and out the back door, with plenty
of time to be well out of the way.
The difficulty between Reed and Hubbard
grew out of their mutual affection for
Martha Jenkins, the colored girl, who two
days later was fatally burned by the ex-
plosion of an alcohol lamp and died on
Friday last Hubbard has painful hand,
and pyRnla is feared

The Best Time to Buy valuableg.


This is the dull season OF the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of a dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. Iu word, we are now inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock III various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits. new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
SO on. We've got to keep up, YOU know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we 10AL sell very
close to move some of it. This 10 6 good
time to renew household articles Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment weoffer line par excellence &C
Ladies' fne Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches ana Jeweiry, etc
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give now. They
will keep, and you will save money.
