Kitnell, N. O., March 10, 200.
Mrs. Joe Person, Kittrell, N. c.:
Dear Madam: Of all the wonderful
cures your Remedy has effected, I ana
satisfied the case of Mrs. Rivers, OF
Warren county, is the most miracuI-
Gus. l saw her when SHE came here,
two or three years ago to commence
the treatment, and sshe was the most
frightful looking creature ever saw.
She seemed to have some canceroun
affection of the face. Her throat, chin,
mouth, nose and gums were almost en-
tirely eaten up and no one who saw
her thought she could live month,
except your son, Mr.. II. M. Person, who
said he would cure her. She got 8
supply Of the Remedy and returned
home, and has been taking it eyer
since. To-day see her here again, thor
oughly cured, hardly a scar left. She
says she feels as well as she ever did,
but win continue taking the Remedy
for awhile to make sure there viii be
no return.
The above are the simple facts Of the
case, which / think those afflicted with
blood diseases should know.
Very truly yours,
G. wv. RANEY-

Mrs. Rivers came to see to-day 10

had been considered before by Mr.. b.
i. Montague and other public-spirited
citizens, and the public at once wei
coined the suggestion to move forward.
Mr. Montague, to whom the city owes
great debt of gratitude for his earnest
labors during the past month, refer
red to be one of ten to give 500 each
toward the Library. This proposition
met with approval, and instead of ten
there are twelve, and one of the most
liberal gentleman agrees to give 5000.

A Tough Fish Story.

II was very much interested in q

said A. P. Buchannon of Nashville.
Il have fish pond stocked with
trout. No one has ever caught any
of the fish, as I have been trying to
increase their number. the pond be-
ing but three years old. My daugh-
ter has always fed them and when
ever she goes along the banks the
fish follow her and will eat out of
her hand. One day fish appeared,
evidently about to die, with some
kind of swelling on his head. She
caught him and concluded to try to
cure him, lancing the gathering. The
next day he came for his food, evil

mornings after that her friends iii
the pond made considerable stir as
they swan after food They were
pushing'a companion ahead of them
that had in some way got caught
and torn fin nearly off, Gripping
him so badly that he could not swim.
His friends were taking him to my
daughter to cure him as she had the
others. After looking at the injured
fish she went to the house, and, pro-
curing q needle and thread, returned
to the pond and took three or four
stitches in tho fish as a surgeon
would with man, and then put it
back into the pond. He recovered,
since which time none Of them has

DINNER WAS GOOD, BUT COSTLY.
An Urchin Who Thought That His Gene
factor Was Cheated.

An Urchin who Thought That His Gene
factor Was Cheated.
The people in tho lunchroom Of
the Astor House were treated to an
amusing scene by ragged urchin
and a whole hearted citizen from tho
west, who was looking after him.
The diners learned from the west
eTner's conversation that he had ar
rived in Jersey City and tho little
follow had carried his gripsack.
The man had been drinking, and the
little fellow was SO badly scared that
he hardly knew what to do. He had
oonfided to tho westerner that he
%as hungry, and the man had told
him to como in and get something
to eat. He followed his benefactor
inside and ti1pidly crawled up on
ono of the high stools. The man
from the west stood up at the bar
and drank frequent potations, max
ing comments upon the boys appe-
tite as he ate his meal.
The little fellow looked at the well
dressed man and then glanced at his
own ragged jacket He jerked his
hat off awkwardly and tried to put
it in his pocket. Failing in this, he
finally compromised, after much
fumbling. by tucking it away some
where within the mysterious con
fines of his ragged shirt. Then he
looked at his grimy hands and
showed thom deep into his pockets.
He watched with owllike gravity
the white aproned attendant place
the glistening plates and shining
knife and fork in front of him.
Finally a bowl of steaming soup was
placed in front of him, and the sight
of it thawed his reserve. He made
an onslaught that made it disappear
rapidly. All the time the big man
chuckled i'll high CLEO and kept say
ing:
go on, little chap. You eat all
you want I likes to seea youngster
like you eat all he wants.
The urchin grinned. Then plate
of chops was placed in front of him.
He grabbed one by the bone and in
the twinkling of an eye had gulped
down all the meat on it. Another
went the same way. When he had
finished, he wiped his hands on his
trousers, rubbed the back of his
hand across his mouth and fished
the butt of cigar from the pocket
of his coat. He gravely watched his
benefactor take the check and pay
| it. When he saw the amount, he
said disgustedly:
"Say, youse," pointing to the
cashier, amy mug kin get feed
like dat down on West street fer Ii
! cents"
Then ne fished match out of an
other pocket and, taking a prcffered
dime from the western man, said
nonchalantly:
thank We, boss. Dat was bang
up feed-even if it did cost a PUNK. -"
