MIRACLES In medicine.
The Wonderful Progress Made
Within the Past Few Years.
Diseases That Our Mothers Thought InCurable
Now Cured by Paine'S Celery Compound.

persons are not aware that any such
nerves exist. They do not know that
nothing goes on in any part Of the
body that every other part does not

trated by headaches, indigestion,
rheumatism, neuralgia, etc. About
every case of sleeplessness, nervous
ness and dyspepsia is "systematic
strike" by brain, nerves or stomach,
induced by the lowering of the gen.
eral health.
People who think to get rid of these
troubles by some medicine that disre-
CARDS the general health of the body
are on the wrong track. In getting
such diseases as neuralgia and rheu-
matism out of the system Paine's
celery compound proceeds at once to
restore normal appetite and regu-
late the nerves, as the foundation for
building up the health and vigor.
1t regulates the bowels without de-
lay, and sees to it that the poisonous
humors that are bursting through the
skin, in what are, for purposes of
classifying, called skin diseases, are
given a ready outlet. On this basis of
purified blood and regulated nerves
the permanent cure of every form of

RATTLESNAKES.
Like Fish, Their Size is Easily Exag-
gerated.

From the November Lippencott's.
How large the diamond or Southern
woodland rattler grows is an unsettled
question, for snakes, like fish, are apt
to grow in telling about them. A few
years ago some cowboys, in the ex-
treme southern part of the state re-
ported terrific combat with one 1s
feet long, as large around as a water
pail and having rs rattles. They
finally killed it with their long, keen
cattle whips, with which an expert
can cut plugs of hide from the tough
est old bull at every stroke; but one
of them was SO overcome by the sick
ly fetid odor exhaled by the monster
that he tainted and fell senseless.
Well-informed people consider this
rather tall snake story, but seeming
ly well-authenticated accounts tell of
rattlers 7x feet long and inches IN
diameter, and of course there Is no
telling how much this length and size
might increase if not cut short by
death. The writer has seen number
of specimens between and 2 feet
long and 8 to 4 inches in diameter,
with fangs an inch to an inch and a
half long. These are big enough for
ali practical purposes. A man who is
struck by one has a close call in any
event, and If vein or an artery is
punctured death is certain and quick.
While these monsters are not num-
erous, or nearly as numerous as
the character of the country would
lead one to expect, still they may be
encountered in the hammocks, scrubs
or palmetto woods, and it behooves
the hunter to be always wary and
watchful.

KENTuCKIANs OUT FOR BLOOD.
Militia Sent Under Strict Orders to
Suppress Toll Gate Raiders.

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. 6.-Last night
Governor Bradley ordered out the
local and the Harrodsburg militia COM
panies, aggregating fifty men, had
them furnished 20 rounds each of am
munition and ordered them to be at
the Southern depot at 8 9o'clock. A
sensation was created on account of
the mystery, which was heightened
by the reticence of Colonel Gather in
command. Just before the departure
1t leaked out that the destination was
Mercer county and the object to sup
press toll gate raiders. 1t is said that
detectives sent by the government to
Washington and Anderson counties
had sent word that 200 raiders were
about to make destructive descent
upon Mercer county. The militia are
under orders to demand surrender
and, II resistance is offered, to shoot.

marvellous even in the eyes Of this

FREE SILVER MEETING.
No Business of Importance Transact.
ed-Short Speeches Made-The
Next Meeting.

The Mexico Bryan Free Silver Club
met in adjourned session Friday night
at 1880.
In the absence of President ]. A.
Potts and Vice President Z. E. Jones,
J. d. Orear, chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee, called the meeting
to order.
Secretary s. w. Buckley being in St.
Louis, the chair appointed Howard
Buckley to act as secretary, and he
read the minutes, which were approv-
ed.
There were no committee reports
and on J. M. Barker's motion COM
mittee, composed of j. M. Barker, J.
Fl. Lane and G. b. Null, was appoint
ed to draft resolution of coincidence
for President ]. A. Potts on account
of the death of his sister, Mrs. w. H.
French. The resolution was ordered
published in the papers and will be
read at the next meeting.
The name of R. B. Griffin, a veteran
and a Republican, was then presented
for admittance and ordered enrolled
on the books as member.
Remarks were then in order and,
being called upon, j. M. Barker, Col.
Clay, r. III. Cauthorn and Judge Bass
responded with short talks. The
tendency of all of the talks was toward
permanent organization and to avoid
acrimonious discussion. The idea pre-
vailed that the national result depended
upon the sticking together of the school
house, township and town clubs and
each member becoming an active
worker in the cause for which they are
fighting; that there was ample work
for every member of the club between
now and 1900 was duly impressed upon
all present.
The meeting adjourned to meet on
the first Friday in February. A pro-
gramme will be made out and pub
lished for the meeting and a full at
tendance is desired.

Mrs. ". 4. French Falls Dead.
HER SUDDEN DEMISE WHILE IN

less to the Floor.

At2:O Friday afternoon Mrs. w. II.
French dropped dead of apoplexy IN
the dressmaking parlors of Misses
Hammerly and Marshall, up stairs on
the north side of the square. Mrs.
French at 15 minutes after O'Clock
was IN M. Blum & Co.'s talking to
Mr.. John Abbay and during the con-
versation, which was in reference to
purchasing dress goods, spoke of how
well she felt. She went from Blum
q Co.'s up stairs, next door, into the
dressmaking establishment and was
looking over book of fashions, Sc
iecting the style of her new dress, when
throwing up her hand to her head,
she said ooh! my head" and fell
speechless. Drs. Rodes and Baskett
were summoned and arrived inside of
hree minutes, but Mrs. French was
beyond help and died just as her hus-
band, who was standing on the street
in front of Blum's, reached her. Those
present in the dressmakipg establish
ment when Mrs. French fell were the
dressmakers, Misses Hammerly and
Jennie Marshall; also Miss Lille Nor
ris. The attack was so sudden that
Mrs. French was dead before half
dozen people knew she was i'll. She
breathed her last soon after the ply
sicians arrived. They pronounce the
cause of her death apoplexy. The

woman, of fine attainments, and had
a large circle of acquaintances by
whom she was most highly beloved.

Christian church in Mexico at that
time.

Marmaduke and J. M. Pollard. A
large concourse of sorrowing friends
were present, both at the residence
and grave-side.

Deafness Cauuot be Cureri


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition OF the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by Halls
