Last June Dick Crawford brought
his twelve-months-old child, suffer-
ing from infantile diarrhea, to me.
1t had been weaned at tour months
old and had always been sickly. I
gave it the usual treatment in such
cases, but without benefit. The child
kept growing thinner and thinner
until it weighed but little more than
when born, or perhaps ten pcnnes.
/ then started the father to giving
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy. Before one bot
tie Of the IS cent size had been used
q marked improvement was seen and
its continued use cured the child.
Its weakness and puny constitution
disappeared and its father and my
self believe tue child's life was saved
by this remedy. J. I. MARROW, NJ.

CERTIoRARI CAsE-PRoCToR VS..
MARTIN.-On Wednesday morning
there was a special term of the Cir
cult Court of this county, Judge
Faulkner presiding. 1t was called
for the especial purpose of handing
down the Courts decision in matters
which were argued and to be decided
by him, notably the election of Proc
tor vs.. Martin, and the case of Mil
Ter, late Sheriff VS.. J. N.Wisner, mo-
ton for judgment on a forthcoming
bond. In the former case Judge
Faulkner rendered a most interest
ing opinion, showing that he had
made an elaborate review of the law
on the subject, and after considera-
BILE research gave his opinion. Sew
eral of the preliminary questions he
decided, but stated that the refusal
of the canvassing board to count a
ballot for Mr.. Proctor, on which Mr..
Martins name was scratched with a
pencil, was the one that gave him the
most trouble. After plain and
most fair presentation of the case, he
decided that the law in this respect
was directory and not mandatory,
and should have been counted. This
makes the vote stand l3I to $50 in
favor of Proctor, and the Court en-
tered an order under which the Coun-
Gil will seat Mr.. Proctor. Messrs.
Flick & Westenhaver and Pitzer
gave notice of contest, and this will
now come before the Council at a
later date. In the absence of Messrs.
Lucas and Brown the case of Miller,
late Sheriff VS.. Wisner was not de.
cided. Court was adjourned from
Wednesday to next Monday, al
which time counsel for defendant
will be present and the motion be de
cided.

ELECTED CHIEF.-Mr. Alex W.
Smith has been elected Chief of the
Department of Public Comfort ofthe
Cotton States and international Elk.
position. This is one of the most
important appointments yet made.
The selection of Mr.. Smith gives
great satisfaction to all concerned in
the management Of the Exposition,
as his we'll known executive ability
and great energy, coupled with
breadth and sound sense, assure the
best possible management of a de-
partment which has given more con-
Germ than any other. The prospect
for attendance is so bright that great
efforts have been made to provide
accommodations for visitors. With
in the last week things look much
brighter in this particular, and the
management is confident that the ac-
commodations will be ample for the
crowd.

HARPER's Observation-Disclosures Hard
ing Davis's story, doctor Warrick S
Daughters beginning in Hdrper's
Bazar of July 9th, will continue dur
ing the rest of the year. The scene
opens in Pennsylvania after the war,
but much of the action takes place
in the Southwest, a part of the coun.
try with which Mrs. Davis is famil-
lar, and which affords opportunity
for much picturesque description.
Full Of movement, and contrasting
several marked types, doctor War
rick's Daughters will fascinate ev-
cry reader. 1t is safe to predict an
army OF readers for so absorbing a
story.

CITY BAND CoNcERT.-The City
Band gave a concert in the public
square Wednesday night to very
large audience. The program was as
follows:
March, "Hamlin Rifles" b. Hall.
Overture, "Morning, Noon and Night
Waltz =" "M Isrea' R. Eie aHprg.
Austrian Tattoo, ''Soldier's Life,'
Kela Bella.
Solo for Eb Clarinet, Contest Pol
ka,' FiIipoosk;.
(Played by Prof. J. 0, BrocAenshre.)
March, sanger" Apelles.
The first number was one OF Halls
finest marches, and TIE pIcIticst
written by him. Eminent as a mu-
sician, as march composer, he
stands second to none, not excepting
Sousa, the March King. F. Won
Suppe's overture, Morning, Noon
and Night in Vienna" is musical
production that the finest bands in
the world would not hesitate to put
on their program, and such numbers
as this we are proud to say our own
City Band renders well. The emi-
nent author of SO eminent q piece is
nav dead, but his fame will live till
music also has died. "Marieu"
waltzes, by Eilenberg, is quite pop
ular and pretty. Although well re-
ceived and much liked, it does not
descend to what is known as popular
music. The descriptive, Austrian
Tattoo, SOLDIERS Lite,' is a martial
production, full of the characteristics
of the soldier, but especially happy
in showing the closing day and
flights OUT Professor Broken
shire's clarinet solo, "Contest Pol
ka," is veritable whirlwind, full of
melody for the soloist, and abound
ing in passages that show the per-
formers skill. The Professor played
it artistically and beautifully. The
concluding number WAS a march,
"Sanger," by Apelles, well known to
us and a great favorite with our peo-
pie. These concerts are given week
ly and are a constant source of pleas
ure in these summer evenings when
people love to rest after the heat of
the day and listen to delicious music.
Only one thing mars their full enjoy
ment, and that is the great noise of
vehicles which, instead Of standing
still, keep moving around the square
and not only prevent the occupants
from hearing, but those who would
be most thankful if they were abb
sent.

EARLY CLosING.-Some of our
merchants who agreed to close their
stores early refused to do so when
it came to the test, and now the
clerks can only enjoy the anticipa-
ton of what might have been. We
are sorry that the early closing
movement has been abandoned, and
do not think that any one could have
been the loser by it. We appeal to
those merchants who fliled to close
to do so rOw.

The CITY BAND PIoNIc.-The
great effort made by the City Band
to have a great picnic at Inwood on
the Fourth collected q great crowd,
and the success was great. The day
was all that could be desired, and
each train that went up at intervals
of an hour carried many passengers.
The number of tickets sold was
about 1900 and this does not include
the many who drove up. The dane
ing pavilion was crowded by dancers,
the refreshment stands were never
empty, and all day long the band
met with great financial success. Be-
fore O'Clock everything in the way
of eatables had been sold, and it may
easily be seen how well pleased the
bandmen &re.

WEATHER-CRoP BULLETIN FOR THE
WEEK ENDING MONDAY, July l.
The past week has been one of the
most favorable of the whole season
to the crops that are yet growing.
The week opened warm and dry with
occasional local showers. On the
25th, 26th and 27th, heavy showers
occurred, and while the rainfall was
especially heavy in certain sections,
apparently all parts of the state re-
ceived sufficient to answer the press
ing need. While the week had
more than the usual amount of rain
fall, still there was about the average
amount of sunshine, the days as
rule being bright and warm and the
nights cool. While the heavy rains
during the week interfered some with
the harvesting of the wheat crop, the
weather conditions have generally
been unusually favorable for farm
work. The wheat heads are said to
be well filed and the grains plump.
Some few correspondents report rust,
Hessian fly and chinch-bugs, but
there does moi appear to have been
any material damage done by them.
The corn crop is reported as growing
very finely under the highly favora
BILE weather conditions and many cor
respondents say the outlook is much
more promising than was thought
possible at one time. Pastures and
gardens are improving, but the rains
came too late to make these crops up
to the average. Reports indicate
that the fruit crop will not be larger
than enough for home consumption.
Apples continue to fall from the
trees, in some places, badly. At the
close of the week, all crops are in a
decidedly improved condition and
the outlook is correspondingly prom
Using.
