A GRAND PARTY.

The Sociable given by the
Missas Womble at Mount Gould
BERTHE county, Monday evening
Dec. 3Ist, 1894, was one Of the
most enjoyable parties that the
young people of the three
counties: BERTHE, Chowan and
Hartford have attended together
since ante bellum days.
About half past six o'clock the
elect, radient with delight, be-
gan to assemble, some coming in
private conveyances, some in
sleighs (1nother earth being
blanketed with a beautiful snow
three inches deep,) and some on
the Olive.
However the elect from the
town of Hartford were prevented
by the inclelnency of the weather
from attending, which was great
ly regretted by all present,
The young ladies were charm
ingly dressed in evening cos
tunes, while the young men
evidently had on their best looks,
None were EN- barrassed with
formality, for all during the
night the girls with their con
oenials could be seen in three
large rooms; some enjoying good
music and singing, which was
artistically rendered by the
"beauties' Of BERTHE: and some
dancing the cotillion. 1t is hard
for a spectator to say which
amusement the happy ones en-
loved the most. The music was
excellent and was enjoyed even
to the end of the Sociable, which
was after 5 o'clock 1895.
The dance was beautiful. The
foor-managers, namely: R. Win
borne. chief; c. w. Darden and
G. w. Womble, ST., assistants,
conducted the dance with great
credit to themselves.
About II o'clock the dining
room doors were thrown open
and the gracious host and host
ess invited the company in to
a spread, where everything de-
sired by the inner man could be
found. The table was tastefully
dressed. Those who went in to
the first table, were as follows:
Mr.. Darden with Miss Gillian. |

DIR. E. w. Kearby desires us to pub
ish the following extract from letter
of Chas. M. Gutfeld of Reedley, Fresno
county, Gal, as he handles the remedy
referred to and wants his customers TO
know what splendid medicine it is:
"It is with pleasure I tell you that by
one days use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy was relieved Of a very severe
cold. My head was completely stopped
up and l could not sleep at night. can
recommend this remedy" A cold near
ly always starts in the head and after
wards extends to the throat and lungs.
By using this remedy freely as soon as
the cold has been contracted it will cure
the cold Mt once and prevent it from ex-
tending to the lungs.

STILL IT MOVES.

The advancement in the healing art
causes by the discovery Of Compound Ok
yRen and by its uses, though opposed by
many phyRicians whose chronic, and
therefore, renumerative patients are cur
ed by it, can NO longer be denied. In
spite Of these gentry, t'the world does
move" and we have on our records the
names of over one thousand physicians
who have either taken the remedy them
selves or who have used it in their prac-
tice.
Asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, consump-
ton, dyspepsia, neuralgia, nervous PROS
tration, rheumatism, are diseases which
the doctors call chronic, meaning that
they continue for long time, often dur
ing the life Of the patient; but these as
we'll as acute diseases, have been cured
in numerous cases and are still cured by
the inhalation Of our Compound Oxygen.
This remedy has been in use for nearly a
quarter of century. Its merits are
known. We can furnish abundant and
irrefutable evidence to it's wonderful ef-
fciency in the euro Of disease and debil-
ity, and we gladly do so. Write us and
We will send you, free Of charge, our
book Of two hundred pages, with a his
tory Of Compound Oxygen, and numer-
Gus testimonials and records Of surpris-
ing cures.
We have both home and office treat
ment. The former is sent out by express,
TO be used at home: the latter is admin
istered bere. Consultation free. The
treatment does not leave behind any of
the evi! effects which too often follow the
use Of drugs.

More Relief Needed. .

G. @. Stevens, Sec. of the Relief COM
mittee, Wray, Colo, writes as follows to
U. 8. Ringer, whom our readers will re-
member recently accompanied Rocky
Ford's car load 0k psuyiaions to that
point:
ave have received nothing 10 amount
to anything in the way of provisions since
you were here. We have on hand Is
sacks OF -four, some beans and a little
hominy. The greatest needs of the
people are -four, meal, meat and potatoes.
The suffering seems to get worse instead
Of better. 1t is sad sight to see old
men and women come to me and shed
tears at the hard lot they have to bear,
and it cannot but get worse until some
thing can be raised. The people of
Wray have a warm place in ther hearts
for you and the good people of Rocky
Ford, and II you could raise us a car
load Of hOur and meal we will be under
lasting obligations to you. Please act at
once in this matter il you think you can
get it."
While the people of some portions of
Otero county have done nobly in the re-
lief of the suffering of eastern Colorado,
there are some localities in which NO can
vass has been made for aid. A little ac-
tive effort, will, we think, procure another
car load Of provisions. And it should be
done that great suffering, il not starva-
ton may be prevented.
