Would not take 4l 900 for it--Relieved of Fifteen Years' Suffering from Dyspepsia.


 ALAPAHA, GA, June %, ISS7.-B. B. B. Company, Atlanta, Ga.-Gentlemen: had suffered from that terrible disease, Dyspepsia, for over fifteen years, and during that time tried everything I could hear of and spent over three hundred dollars in doctors bills, without receiving the slightest benefit. Indeed, I continued to grow worse. Finally, after I despaired of obtaining relief friend recommended B. E. E. tBOtanic Blood Balm), and l began using it; not, however, expecting to be benefited. After using half bottle l was satisfied that was being benefit ted, and when the sixth bottle was taken felt like a new man. I would not take $1, 900 for the good it has done me; in fact, the relief I derived from it is priceless. I firmly believe that I would have died had l not taken it. Respectfully, etc

 While on his afternoon trip, last Fri day, Trackwalker Thomas Burns of Step ney, whose section extends from Stepney to North Bridgeport, found coupling pins, spikes and irons on the rails, mid way between Tait's and the Ice Co.'S dam, just where Hi Kelly placed his ties before; also in other places. He hurried to Bridgeport and Superintendent W. K. Lyon and Railway Policeman R. C.. Tousey of Long Hill at once proceeded up the track with a special engine. Near Botsford, Charles Swinden and George Higgins were arrested. They denied the crime at first, but close questioning brought confession. They were kept over Sunday in the upper part of Long Hill depot, guarded by a trainman. MOn- day, Justice l.. c. Beers found probable cause and bound them over to the Super for court, October term, which meets at Danbury. The maximum penalty is 20 years in State prison. Had a train been thrown from the track near the Tait mill, it would have crashed down a steep, rocky embankment. The plea of the would-be wreckers that they s'meant no harm is puerile. Swinden, who is 21, has been employed at Tait's mill, but was discharged, last week Thursday, be- cause he absented himself after permis- sion to go had been refused. His home is in North Bridgeport. Higgins is about IS and also lives in Bridgeport, near Black Rock. Hi Kelly and George Davis, who placed ties on the track, are now out of prison.
 Not long since, Trackwalker Thomas Burns found broken rail near c. E. Booths: He was compelled to flag all trains, which ran slowly over the dam aged rail, until the milk arrived, when Jerry Nolan replaced it with sound rail.

Wild Flowers of Shiloh.

Although Spring properly begins with bustling March, the little wild flowers, afraid of his stormy nature, dare not show their sweet faces until gentle April comes with her smiles and tears. Yak ing a walk among bushes, you see a patch of blue, then another and another, until the ground is covered with Hepati- cas that bloom long before the grass is green. Shortly after, you find nodding on the hill-tops the little wind flowers, which have made such haste to be up early that they have forgotten to take off their night caps and stand looking so sleepy that one wishes to shake them and wake them up. In some moist corner of the woods is found the Dicertfa Cucul- laria. One might imagine by the appear ance of their flowers that the fairies, fall ing in some tiny brooklet, had hung their
 brooches on a line to dry. Who has pull ed open the flower bract of the Skunk's Cabbage to find flower rivaling the tu- lip in hue? The brooks are lined with the golden stars of the Caltha or Cow slip. What will the lovers. of arbutus say when they hear that there is no ar butus in this country and that it is
 shrub growing in England. The flower we have always called arbutus is Epig9a
 Repens. In some corner of the fence, you see swarm of gay pink butterflies. As you approach, you find that they are the blossoms of the Fringed Polygala. Down in the depths of the wood spring up the star flowers from a whorl of deli cate green leaves. In the very darkest
 corner, the Twist Stalk tries to hide from all observing eyes. The peculiarity of l this plant is that not one of them has | perfect stalk. The violets deserve men tion, the beautiful golden violets, the | blue, the sweet scented white and the Birds Foot Violet with it's dainty foliage,
 which I found by the way-side. The
 blue and white forget-me-nots and the
 Painted Cup, brilliant red flower which
 is thieving parasite, are found ill al- most every meadow. White Snowdrops
 and Blue-eyed grass bloom together in
 the shade of some old orchard. The h.
 dian Pipe or Ghost Plant halnts the site of a charcoal bed. Its long hairy stalk is tipped with grayish white bell. It
 has flesh colored scales instead of leaves and takes it name from the absence of
 green foliage. The downy Dalibarda.
 looking like belated blackberry vine, creeps from pile of stones. The Bee Orchiss is purple flower rising on a long
 stalk from two leaves on the ground. In some boggy swamp, embedded in moss, grows the pink Arethusa. Arethusa was
 a nymph of Diana and was turned by her
 into flower to escape the river God Al
 pheus.. The Calopogon resembles it in
 shape, but is of brighter hue. The Po-
 gonia is palest and rarest of all.. Anoth-
 CT pretty flower is the Spring Orchiss
 with it's petals of lilac and snow. Among the grass in a damp meadow found the
 Fly Orchiss,, so named from it's green, :, fly-like blossoms, mot pretty but fragrant
 Snowy Orchiss, rOse-purple with the
 flowers iu a raceme. My last treasure
 was the White AAzalea, whose blossoms Y perfume the air for yards around. Jes- II cia

Atlast weeks meeting, it was demonstrated that the borough had no authority to grant the right of sewerage to anyone until the charter is amended. Over $l000 has all ready been expended on the work. Those who wished to connect with the sewer were willing to pay $50, but thought that $100, the figure finally asked, was too high. Nothing was accomplished at the meeting and the matter will probably remain as it is for the present. It is re- ported that certain parties bitterly op- pose the sewer and will stop it: if pos sible. sA z ~
