A NEW DISCOVERY.
Great SOutht m Remedy.

Having been a great sufferer, from child
hood, tie result of prOtracted ehills and indi-
g~estiOn, terminating in diseases OF Liver,
KIDNEY and URINARY ORGANS, and having
tried many remedies known to the profession
with only tempo rary relief. After much ex-
perimentlng, 1 succeeded in discovering a
combination of vegetable remedies, which
combination has proven a emedy for diseases
of all the internal organs superior to any
known in a life OF suffering and practice of
fifty years. As by it I have been restored
from what seemed to be inevitable death to
perfect hea. tn, without any other medicine,
for those diseases over three years past. 1t
also GRABBED me to travel all the winter of
1888 and 1899, in the mountains, in all kinds
of weather, and eating any and everything set
before me with %impunity. 1t has since cured
me of chills and prevented my taking "la
GRIPPE" and relieved those of the late cpl
demic who tried it. It is also proving valua-
BILE in many female diseases.
For further particulars, apply to druggist,
or DR.. Jho. F. Foard, PrOp'r, Olin, N. c..
| P. S-Having reduced the price from 81 to
50 cts. a pint, it is now the cheapest remedy

TO THE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI,

The Centennial Alumni Reunion at
the last Commencement was so re,
freshing to the hearts of all present,
SO honorable to the University, and so
creditable in its results, that it is
clearly essential to the welfare and
growth of the institution to have an
annual reunion of the Alumni at each
Commencement. Feeling the inspira
ton of that great occasion, the Asso-
citation unanimously adopted the fol
lowing resolutions:
l. That an Alumni Reunion and
banquet shall be held at each Com,
mencement, and that a committee be
appointed to arrange the programme
for 1890.
2. That the Alumni Association
should have an organic connection
with the University and some voice II
its management.
3. That q Chair of History in the
University should be endowed, anC
that a committee of twelve Re ap
pointed to take steps for its endow
ment.
The President of the Associa ion
Hon. Walter L. Steele, in complianc
with the first of the foregoing resolu
tions, appointed the undersigned CON
mittee. The Trustees fixed WedneE
day of Commencement week as A,
umni day, and directed the faculty t
make the necessary arrangements TO
it's celebration. The Philanthropy
Society, to whom belongs the choic
of the orator to deliver the literar
address on that dsv, is ccn'teousl
and Loyalty co oper ating with th
Alumni Association. and it has unite
with us in selecting Col. w. H. s
Burgyn as the orator of the day.

T FROM BLADEN

RICHARDSON, N. c., April %, '89.
Mr.. EDIToR:-At a regular meeting
of our Alliance, No. 528, Baden
county, we endorsed the Sub Treasury
plan, got up our petition and sent it
on, and we do most earnestly hope for
its passage, for we here in Bladen

that we are oppressed in some way,

income, etc. Go to the railroad men

you see every thing has been worked
off of this country. Go to our mer-
chants and they say go home and go
to work, and so on. | believe all of
their advice has been tried, but in
vain, and we yet remain without re
lief. We are compelled to admit and
believe there is something badly the
matter some other way. Now we,
the members of Bladenboro, N. O.,
do most humbly ask the Senate for
help in some way. We do certainly
think that the Sub Treasury plan
would give some relief, for the money
would go direct to the producer with
out those banks catching off of it
every year this 8 per cent, which
amounts to something over $14, OOO,-

could get it direct, it wouldn't exceed
So, 900, O0O. Don't you see, saving
annually to the United States some,

not we, as a farming class of people,
be allowed to save this Sl2, 600, 900
as well as for the banks to take that
away from us for nothing? l tell
you, my friends, to look at the pres

there certainly must be special privi-

government, and please remember the
railroads as well as the banks. [ say

then remember these are for the pub

good, for the sake of the poor farmer,
give me private good now and forever
more. Amen, for I can't help but
think that private good is what has
made so many vastly rich. But please
remember this is not a country for
private gGS2d, for this government
pretends to be a repuSSllic.
Brethren, how many Of You nave
ever thought what the Alliance is I?
If you never thought what its inten-
lions are, go to thinking quick, but
think slow and be certain you think
right. Who has been leading you ?
Give that a thought, yes three of !
them.
Can't you take The Progressive
FARMER and see how to go without
being led Can't you take it and
hear how to think without paying so
dearly for some one else to do your
thinking? But if it don't tell you
enough, take the National Economist, |
and I'll assure you with both of those
good papers you can see to walk and
think, etc.
Brethren do read The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, for l tell you as n that has
great faith that you are paying dearly
for what little learning you get other
wise than through u State organ or
the Economist.
I remain yours,

Their First Imprrssinns

Attorney General Brewster got a wife in the
treasury department. She was the daughter
OF an e1-secretary of the treasury. and she
was one of the prettiest women that WASH
ington has ever known. Brewster saw her as
he went through the department one day on
some legal business long before ne was attor-
ney general, and he said to a friend:
What pretty woman!'
She overheard, and replied in a stage whis-
per:
What an ugly rnan!' and Brewster, you
know, was ugly enough to stop a clock. His
face had been burned ali out of shape when
be was a baby by his falling into the fire or
by bis attempting 10 save his little sister
from burning. Both stories are told, and |
don't know which is correct. At any rate,
he overheard the remark of the pretty
treasury clerk. He met her the same night
at reception, and she found Mr. Brewster
as entertaining as he was ugly. After few
months he proposed to her and she accepted
him and got n first class husband Wash.

He Couldn't Carve the Cream.

There was ludicrOGs episode at the ladies'
reception at the University club some weeks
ago. The members of the club. being in the
main still young and gallant, were devoted
in their attentions to the fair guests, and to
assist in their comfort performed even mental
duties.
Among the hardest workers was John Led
yard Lincoln, the young attorney. During
the serving up Of the luncheon, seeing one of
the walters slowly cutting slices of ice cream
from large block, he impatiently seized the
carving knife TO accelerate the work Not
knowing that in order 10 cut the cream it is
necessary 10 dip the knife blade into boiling
water, he whacked awIy with an air of pom
derous knowledge. \ moment later he was

perate struggle, at last he gave in conquered
and turned over the shapeless block to the
grinning waiter, who assumed the carving
process with a triumphant air.
But John Ledyard Lincoln learned some
thing he did rot know before-a fact that
may seem strange to his friends. Cincinnati
