ing to the benefits which it eonfe.s
upon humanity.
One of tho latest aud most imports
ant services which has been rendered
to mankind by . newspaper was the
discovery of . cure for consumption,
under the stimulus of prise of $1,000
offered by the New FORK Recorder.
DR.. w. r. Amick, Of Cincinnati, is
the physician who made the discovery
and he is giving all the evidence Of
sincerity and disinterestedness that
can be desired BY dividing the $1,000
awarded him among well.known
charities and sending test medicines,
FREQ Of charge, to all he,r.consumptive
patients.
II this remedy proves to be what is
claimed for it, Dr.. Amick will de-.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPErIrI,

No BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.
This is competition of rather an I'M
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss Of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to
be rewarded for doing it.. The prize is
only stimulus to do something that
wsuld be well worth doing without it.
The architect whose competitive plan for
club house on a certain corner Is not
accepted has spent his labor on some
thing of very little use to him. But the
person who patents simple and useful
device In the Press Clsims Company's
competition, need not worry if he fall

Encouragement Tor the Feeble.

So long as the failing embers OF
vitality are capable of being rekindied
into a warm and genial glow, just SO
long there is hope for the weak and
emaciated invalid. Let him not,
therefore, despond, but derive encour-
agement from this, and from the fur
ther fact that there is restorative
most potent in renewing the dilapi-
dated powers of a broken down sys-
TEN. Yes, thanks to its unexampled
tonic virtues, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is daily reviying strength in
the bodies and hope in the minds OF
the feeble and nervous. Appetite, re-
treshing sleep, the acquisition of flesh
and color, are blessings attendant up
on the repairative processes which
this priceless invigoraut speedily ini-
tiates and carries to successful con-
clusion. Digestion is restored, the
blood fertilized, and sustenance af-
forded to each life-sustaining organ
by the Bitters, which is inoflensive
even to the feminine palate, vegetable
in composition, and thoroughly safe.
Use it, and regain vigor.

An event of peculiar interest to
those of our citizens who resided in
or knew our sister city, Jefferson, in
her palmy days, transpired at Sulphur
Springs, Texas, on Saturday, May
28th, in the celebration of the golden
wedding of Capt. and Mrs. James g.
Waits. Just fifty years ago they were
married in Red River county by Rev.
John McKensie, who has long since
passed away, and there is but one
other person living who was present
at the time. In a short time after
their marriage they moved TO Jeffer-
son, Texas, where he with others laid
the foundation of that prosperous
city. After assisting in the founding
of the young city Capt. Waits watch
ed with pardonable pride the splen-
did growth and increasing CONNER
cial Importance Of the infant village
which bis own hands had helped to
fashion and which under the fostering
care of himself and others grow to be
the young metropolis of North Texas,
ere the onward march of time bore
the great tide of human progress
westward. Leaving the old home,
Capt and Mrs. Wait moved to Sui
phur Springs, Texas, which is still
their home. They raised family of
eight children, five sons and three
daughters-fve married and three
single-and all present, with their
families, to cheer the aged couple in
their declining years, save one son.
