The people Of Rich Hill, Mo-, and vicinity,
have recently been startled by q seeming
miracle Of healing For years ono OF the
best known men in Bates and Vernon coun-
ties has been Mark M. Woodson, now post.
master at Panama, and brother Of ex-State
Inspector OF Mines G. @. Woodson, of this
city. Tho people Of Rich Hill, where no
formerly resided, and Of his present home,
remember well the bent form, misshapen
almost from the semblanco Of man, which

threw away the heavy butt Of cane which
for years had been Its only support from
total hclplessness, and walked erect, firmly,
unhesitatingly about tho two cities, people
looked md wondered. The story Of tho re-
markabio case has become the marvel OF tho
two counties. Exactly as MIR. Woodson told
It TO Times reporter, II Is here published;
"For ten years have suffered the tor
ments Of the damned and have been a use
less invalid; to-day l am well and hearty
man free from almost every touch OF pain.

None OF them would take my case with any

doubt Mr.. Woodson made the following
