A Cure for Warts.

From the st, Louis Globe-Democrat.
I have always had warts on my
hands ever since I was boy, and
have tried thousand remedies for
them, including all the charms
known to the oldest darkey in the
country. The only thing that
suppressed them temporarily was a
red-hot needle. Somebody told
me abont it ten or fifteen years ago,
but never tried it for long time,
dreading the pain. At last ! had
a big wart on the knuckle Of my left
forefinger, where 1 was always
knocking it against something and
keeping it raw and sore. l de-
termined ry to THE hot needle. So
I had a large needle fixed in an
awl-handle, heated it ed-hot in the
fame of a lamp and thrust il
through the big wart at one punch.
The pain was no greater than had
been enduring from striking the
wart against everything l touched,
and after the needle had cooled ]
took it out. The wart began to dry
up, and in three or four days
picked it off with my thumb nail
Since then, whenever one makes
its appearance I take q needle to it.
and the remedy never fails.

SHOT WHILE HUNTING.
Kinney Woods Accidently, But
Seriously Shot by Ed.
Patterson.

Late in the afternoon Wednesday
while Ed. Patterson and Kinney
Woods, of Molino, were out hunt
ing chickens, young Patterson fell
with his gun, causing it to dis
charge, striking young Woods in
the left leg, below the knee, tear
ing the aesh 70 pieces and breaking
the bones 60 badly it is thought
his leg will have to be amputated.
DR.. Wilson, of Mollno, was called
and dressed the wound. DR.. w.
v. Walker, of this city, was called
to see young Woods this morning
and to have a consultation with
DR.. Wilson in regard to amputat-
ing the young mans leg. Ed.
Patterson says they were walking
along side by side with guns cock.
ed. expecting every minute to
shoot at the chickens as they got
up, when he stumbled and fell,
throwing his gun over towards
young Woods with the above re-
suit. The wound is q serious and
painful one, and one that may
cost young Woods his life. Nc
blame attaches to Patterson, who is q
careful, sober young man, who feels
miserable ON account of the acci'
dent.

We will not help you. Our duty
