A NOBLE FIGHT.
AN EMINENT SOUTHERN Law
YER'S LONG CONFLICT
WITH DISEASE.
twenty-five Years Of Prosperity. Adver
sity and suffering.-The Great Vic
tory Won by Science Over q
Stubborn Disease.
From the Atlanta, Ca, Constitution. !

Trom the Atlanta, Ca, Constitution
Foremost among the best known lawyer,
! and farmers of North Carolina stands Col.
isaac A. Sugg Of Greenyille. MIR. Sugg has
resided In Greenville twenty-five years.
While nearly every one in Pitt coapty
knows Nj. SIS history, perhaps all do NOT
know Of his return TO usine again after
An illness Of sixteen years. No man has
rome through more than he and lived. 10
was a case of the entire breaking down Of
the nervous system, attended by excruciat-
Ing, agonizing, uncomfortable pain. Opiates
and stimulants only quoted temporarily,
and all treatments failed him. Only his love
of family and friends prevented suicide.
He told a reporter the following interesting
story:
sikept at my work as long as I could.
but nature rave way at last and / suo-
cumbed to the inevitable. My entire nerv-
! Gus system had been shattered by the
stimulants and opiates l had taken, my
blood had actually turned to water, my
| weight had dropped from 1T3 pounds to l23
and IL seemed To everybody that the end
, was in sight. Why, i could not bear the gen.
sle hand of my wife to battle my limbs with
tepii water. Twas simply living from hour
TO hour. l had made my will, settled my
business and waited for the last strand Of
life to snap.
at was at this time that a somewhat
similar case as my own was brought TO my
notice. This nan had suffered very much
as l had, his life had been despaired Of as
mine had, and yet he had been cured.
Think what that little word meant TO me-
CURED. The report stated that the work
had been accomplished by a medicine
known as DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. l investigated the report thor
oughly and found that it was true in detail.
Then 1 procured some of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and began taking them and began to
get better. / began to sleep like n health
full child, sound, calm and Leaceful. My
appetite came back and my nerves were
soothed and restored TO their normal condi-
kon and l felt like a new man. But tho
greatest blessing was the mental improve
ment. l began to read and digest, TO formu-
late new plans, to take an interest in my
law practice, which began to come back 70
me as soon as my clients realized that I
was again myself. After a lapse of ten
years l ride horseback every day without
fatigue.
THAT DR.. Williams Pink Pills saved my
life is beyond doubt, and l IN spreading
their praises far and wide"
Inquiry about the town of Greenville sub
stantiated the above facts of Col. Sugg's
case, and that many others are being beEe
6ted by DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are for sale by
al druggists, or may be had by mail from
DR.. Williams Medicine company, Schenec-
tady, n. Y, for 80 cents per box, or six
boxes for $3.50.

The Missouri river is practically closed
at Yanktcn for the winter by ice. The
ice is about two inches thick and is OF
sufficient strength TO sustain loot pass
engers. This is the latest date recorded
for the closing of the river. In other
wears the freeze up has come very much
earlier and the river has generally re-
NAMED closed until late in February or
early in March. The present stage OF
water is low.

W. W. Fulmer a guard Mt the state
penitentiary, while visiting his friends
near Dell Rapids, discovered a cave in
which was stored grain in large quaint
ties and innumerable articles OF all
kinds. 1t is supposed to be the store
house OF a gang OF thieves and the goods
stolen property. This may be a clue Tor
the officers of Moody and Brookings
counties to work on, as those counties
are infested with what seems to be an
organized gang oil thieves.
A startling discovery was made recent
~ which will effect a large number OF
the county surveyors elected at the late
election and prevent them from qualify
ing. Unless such surveyor had n license
from the state surveyor at the time OF
his election, he is not eligible and the
office will be filed by the county com
missioners by appointment. In 1ank-
ton county the surveyor-elect is a Re
publican, but a majority Of the commits
sioners are Democrats, and it Is said
they will fill the office with a Democrat.
This law vas passed by the last legis-
latuFe.
