Blue Wing.

We find the following in the Las
Cruces, New Mexico, Independent
Democrat, Of which Mr.. w. R. Fall,
an old Frankfort boy, is the editor:
The legend runs that: during the
war with Mexico, Jno. Swigert, Griff.
Theobald, Cyrus Calvert, Jno. White
head, Geo. Davidson, Dick Harlan and
other Frankfort. KY, boys took with
them to the war a game cock widely
known as "Blue Wing"
At the battle of Buena Vista "Old
Blue Wing" was perched on a cason,
in the near vicinity; and whenever
the gun in front, Of him was fired "Old
Blue Wing" would express his appro-
baton by a vigorous tapping of
wings and by an ear splitting crow.
At. the close of hostilities "Old
Blue Wing" the victor Of many hard
fought battles, and approximately a
participant in Santa Ana's defeat, was
carried to his birthplace by the SOL
der boys.
And, when the old hero answered
his last reveille, the boys buried him
with military honors, draping his
rose-wood:coffin with miniature flags
of the United States.

Any Of the earlier stages of Consumption
can be cured It's a matter of evidence
strong enough and complete enough to war
rant the makers of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery in promising this:
II it's taken in time and given a fair trial,
they'll refund the money in any case where
their medicine fails to benefit or cure.
But it's a medicine that doesn't foil; 1t goes
to the root of tho trouble. Consumption is
developed through the blood, and must be
cured in the same way. It's a scrofulous
affection Of the lungs-a blood-taint. And
the surest remedy for Scrofula in all its
forms, the most potent blood cleanser,
strength-restorer, and Hesh-builder known
to medical science, is the "Golden Medical
Discovery" II cures Scrofula; it cures
Consumption; it cures an Bronchial, Throat,
and Lung affections, Asthma, Weak Lungs,
Severe, Lingering Coughs, and kindred all
ments-through the blood
And If there's no help, there's no pay.
