ished by his friends 10 leave it alone.
However he picked the wire up and
WAS Immediately severely shocked. He
Mas unable 10 turn it loose and grjpped
Il with the other hand The shock was
So great that he was thrown to the
ground III an inseusible condition. The
BOYS with him gave the alarm and a
colored man who happened to nc pass
ing near by ran up and knocked the

Lip Gone!

There is not more familiar figure
o. $Iie streets of Atlanta than the man
whose picture Is here shown. Every
body knows him by sight aud Il viii DO
remembered that years ago he began
TO wear on his upper lip, just under
bis nose, a small piece of court plas-
ter, not larger than a silver half dimei
this plaster he has worn constantly,
though It gradually increased In size,
as everybody knows, until 1t was as
large as a silver dollar. This man Is
NJ. NJ. Nicholson, who resides at the
corner of Anderson and Curran SITS.
1t was thirty years ago, that he first
noticed a tiny scale, like piece OF
wheat bran, on his lip. He at first
thought it only a fever blister, but it
was not long before his cheeks became
diseased and painful to the touch, and
be soon realized that he had fallen a
victim to that most dreadful disease
Cancer. 1t rapidly Increased in size
and severity, and remembering that
his father had cancer when he died,
and that his uncle also lost his life by
this terrible disease, which destroyed
his tongue, throat and left eye, MIR.
Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed,
and realized that his condition was
more than serious.
