The annual meeting of the Bureau Of

attended, only eleven members being
presen. Maj. Rinehart presided.
Joseph Shipper, the secretary, sub
mitted . report covering the broad pfinci-
pies upon which the. work of the bureau
was done.
Mrs. G. II. Hebron made an oral re-
port of the work of the board of Friendly
Visitors. On account of the large number
of beggars during the past winter the
board had been unable TO procure clothes
for needy babes, and had organized sew
ing class to make the clothing required.
The meetings had been we'll attended, and
the work successful.
Rev. d. c. Garrett stated that the public
did not understand that the greater part

ton was done BY the board OF Friendly

Garrett said that many of the regular con-

was very hard to get help from the county,
the commissioners only allowing from 80
cents to 80 at time. and cited one fam
lily Of four or five persons to which the
commissioners had only allowed $3.50 tor
groceries TO support the family two weeks.
Mr.. Garrett had himself bought medicine
for several families because the county
would not do it. as there was no system OF
taking care of the sick poor by the county,
not even physician to visit them.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
iispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
sists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is nan
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup

of all cases of consumption can, if taken in
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like a bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
ally IN use for its treatment as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions. extract
of malt, whiskey. different preparations of
hypophosphites andssuch like balliaiiaes
Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there IS the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
carrier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case but q Idype her
ceHfGge Of cases, and we believe /nHY oS
per cent. are cured by DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with coplous expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular matter, great loss of flesh
and extreme erlaciation and weakness
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
lcal Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have in nearly eveTv
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery, 3"
but who have been forced to confess that
1t surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs asthma chronic tasa1
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and learn
their experience.

The Colored BARRIERS Compliment to
tho Young Congressman.
On his way back from Boston Col
onel Hitchcock stopped over few
days in Washington, and while there
he heard a good story. 1t is seldom
that the jovial colonel goes anywhere
without bearing good story. This
one was one of those old colored bar
bers so numerous at the capital-ex-
slaves who have been there for years
and claim TO have scraped the faces
of every president and statesman from
George Washington's time.
One of these old fellows was an
mounting the smooth countenance Of
a newly-hedged congressman with
creamy lathcr which he quietly rubbed
into the skin with his slow hand. He
was laxative, like all the BARRIERS of
his race, and anxious to "jolly" the
new arrival, seing in perspective a
fresh and regular patron. So he
gazed admiringly into the counte-
nance of the budding statesman,
grinned approvingly, and said:
do you know, sab, you remind me
so much of Dan1 Webstah?'
OF course the young congressman
was greatly pleased at the compliment
and he smiled visibly. He would have
strsightened up promptly did he not
have his head in n barbarous chan
Gerry, so to speak.
Indeed" he said. "Shape Of my
head, / suppose?"
This staggered the aged colored
man somewhat. He had not expected
question in reply, and had merely
laid the foundAion for his compli-
mentary blu1i, never thinking that
there would be n call for an explana-
tory superstructure.
