want you to git down with me-"
| 1t was in vain that l told him I was
in a big hurry and would rather wait
till dark. He would take no denial,
and in second he had started revival
in that Office which would have done
credit to a first-class scamp-meeting. He
had warned me beforehand that he
would remain upon his knees until was
converted, and mentally decided that
my case was hopeless. AS the good old
man prayed for my salvation he beat the
air wildly with his hands, and as was
in the air myself, came in for good
snare OF the beating. He followed me
all over the room in the agony of his
plea, now knocking my head against the
composing stone, or jostling my breast
with severe. blow IN the ribs, just to
emphasize his words. Sometimes /
would dodge, and his hand would hit
the wall hard, but he only shouted the
louder when this occurred. E
We were both perspiring freely with
the exercise; his paper collar had melted
and run down his back, and my cellu-
loid cuffs had caught fire five times.
One or the other had to weaken, and
felt that the Other was myself.
"Brotherr' he shouted in desperation,
sis the work done yet? Do you feel any
changer"
was about to tell him that. I had
spent the last cent I had, and felt no
changesat all, but I knew he wouldn't
let me up on that, and so told him. yes,
that I was changed man.
"Where do you feel it?" he asked, as
he paused for breath.
SIN my back and side,"I answered.
SIN fact it's all over me!''
II. He gave shout that shook the build
ing, rose to his feet, told me that was
a sinner saved by grace, mopped his
brow in the Office towel, said to me that
he would call on me to lead the meeting
that.night and went forth reioicinp.
Then sat down to my desk again,
weak and helpless, and wrote my own
obituary; and when Ire covered from the
spell Of sickness which ensued, sold
my paper to the Baptists for seventy
five dollars and hired out to a heather
as clerk in q grocery store.-F. L. Stan
ton, in Atlanta Constitution.

Surprising Testimony.

Many physicians who have examined into
the merits of B B B botanic Blood Balm)
have been confronted with testimony which
they deemed surprising, and thus being con-
vinced of its wonderful efficacy, have not
failed to prescribe it in their practice as oc-
casion required.
81. l.. Cassidy, Kennesaw, Ga, writes
"For two years my wife was a great suffer
er. Skillful physicians did her no good.
Her mouth was one solid; ulcer, her body
was broken out in sores, and she lost a
beautiful head of hair. Three bottles B B
cured her completely, incredible as it may
sound, and she is now the mother of a
healthy three months old baby clear from
any scrofulous taint."
A. II. Morris, Pine Bluff, Ark, writes:
"Hot Springs and several doctors failed to
cure me Of several running ulcers on my
leg, B B effected wonderfully quick
cure after every thing else had failed"

Do you want to escape chills and fever

CALLED DOWN.
The Court House Commission Con-
sents to Consult the People.

The Court House Commission Con-
sents to Consult the People.
The court house commission has been
brought to a standstill, and certain OF
its members have found out that their
little bluff of Indignation because OF in
situations that they were consulting
their personal interests rather than
those of the people is not to prevent
their proposed raid on the public treas
ury from being criticized and opposed.
Yesterday morning, when they met,
George A. Bracket said he wanted to
resign if the people didn't have conf
dence in his immaculate integrity.
County Commissioner Erickson went
him one better by saving he'd resign so
quick it would make peoples heads
swim. E. NJ. Johnson said ditto and ID. M.
ClOugh said that the whole board was
willing to resign. None of these patrl-
OTIS, however, did resign, and about all
the resigning that was done was reslg-
nation to the situation. This sort OF
talk was occasioned by newspaper crltl-
cism, and a protest of the jobbers' union
against the proposed substitution OF
granite for sandstone. George A.
Bracket finally offered a resolution.
which was adopted, inviting the repre-
sentatives of the chamber of commerce,
board of trade and any other Organlza-
ton taking an interest in the matter, to
meet with the board Thursday morning.
Long d KEGS, the architects, appear to
have also tumbled to the situation grace
fully, and submitted communication
to the effect that they have gone over
their former rough estimates, and now
think that the entire cost of the build
ing will not exceed $3,OO0,000. This es-
timate.is based on the use of granite for
the exterior, and plain brick in the
court, and will be correspondingly
less if cheaper material is used. The
architects did not care to recommend
what kind OF stone should be used, but
thought the bids that are in for stone,
brick, iron work and clay tiling are as
low as can be expected and should be
acted upon.
The following bids were received for
q 100000 block of per cent bonds:
Brewster. Cobb & Estabrook, Boston,
SOL, 76O; Blake Bros. & Co., Boston,
SOL, $50: X. l.. Day d Co., Boston. $780,

taxing advantage of this clause relative

be Illegal, as there is nothing in the

Attorney Robinson followed in much
the same vein, although from more in
terested motives, since he acted as the
representative Of Mr.. Gluck. Mr..
Boardman then made a little talk in
favor of the measure, in which he took
occasion to say that the street would be
benefited for driving purposes. by the
increase of reading space from forty
feet to fifty feet. Commissioner March
did little figuring and proved that
there would be but forty-one and a
half feet of roadway. But protests
were unayailing and the ordinance was
accepted by vote of six to four, Babb.
Boardman, Cole, Downs, Northrop and
Ridgway voting affirmatively, and Fol
well, March. De Mendes and Mitchell
negatively.
Some of the good points of the ordi-
nance are that it will compel the street
railway company to pay about $4,000 for
the franchise, which provision may, but
is scarcely likely, to cause the company
to reject the ordinance; that it guar
antees five cent rate of fare, with the
addition of a transfer to any other street
car line in the city; that it guards
against the obstruction of the street in
the winter.

The man stands on the inside of the
