IN THE SUNNY SOUTH.

Where Grass and Flowers Are
FIOurishing and There Is no Snow.
Extract from Letter to the Lockhaven
(Pa) Evening Express.
1t is just four weeks this morning since
we landed IN Our new southern home AS
we entered the harbor I was surprised to
see so many different steamers from all
parts of Europe, awaiting their lading of
cotton, oils, turpentine, wood, etc. We
were received at the pier by my son-n-
law, who SOON ushered us into our in
tended home. We were agreeably disap-
pointed. as we found everything much
better than we anticipated. Savannah is
certainly a handsome city. 1 don't think
that l could have been better pleased at
any other place. There is a great deal
here to interest me, and the climate is 50
very pleasant. We know nothing about
winter as yet, as all outdoor flowers are
in full bloom, and trees have their green
foliage, making it so pleasant in the fine
park, which is adorned with many mon
uments and fountains, only four blocks
from our house. The electric street car
system is perfect, so is the police depart
ment. Policemen are all dressed in good
uniforms on foot, on bicycles and on
horses. The fire department is also good
and the best of all is our good drinking
water, as clear as crystal which is sup
piled by artesian wells. Our ice is man.
ufactured out of this water, and sells at
10 cents per hundred pounds. Our market
is well supplied with the best meats, poul-
try, fruits, green vegetables, etc. Now
you may know that your old friend, John
F., can be we'll contented at his southern
home without shoveling any snow.

AN 1897 S75 BICYCLE FOR $40
THINK OF 1T.
1t will be some time vet.
We mean before we can get even sam
pies of 1898 wheels, probably five to six
weeks more.
So now is your time to invest in the few
1897 models still on hand almost at your
own prices.
We have several Remingtons, a few
Barnes, Keatings Warwicks and Unions.
The Union $75 1897 model we are having
large sales on at $40, and whilst you can
buy only few more of these from us you
are wise to come at once.
We have only four ladies' and ten gents
left out of the contract for 100. Don't
miss the chance.
How can you allow such an opportunity
to escape you? 1t is sure that you will re-
greet it all the season if you do not possess
one of the Union wheels at only $40.
Cold weather is about to come upon US,
and another thing we must remind the
public of, and that is don't wait to buy or
put up your stoves and heating apparatus
until the first cold day.
We can handle all business entrusted to
US nicely when given some time, but, Oh
my! when about 50 orders come in a single
day, where are we?
You can avoid all this by sending or
coming down at once.

HARD ON THE CoUNsEL.-The fol-

lawyer was related by himself TO the
writer many years ago. He said:

horsestealing, and seeing no other
means OF defending him, under the
circumstances, | set up the plea of
insanity. | argued it at length, and
read many extracts from works on
medical Jurisprudence, and had the
patient attention O. the court. The
prosecuting attorney did not attempt
to reply to my argument or controvert
my authorities ! seemed to have
things my own way. and whispered to
the prisoner that he needn't be uneasy.
Then came the judges charge, in
which he reminded the jury that
there was no dispute between counsel
as to the facts of the case. Indeed,
there could not have been, for several
witnesses had sworn positively that
they saw my client steal the horse.
But, concluded the court, the plea
Of insanity has been set up, and I
charge you, gentlemen OF the jury,
that it should receive your very grave
and serious delibcratiOn but must
be allowed to say, gentlemen, that for
myself upon a review OF the whole
case, ] can discover no evidence of
insanity on the part Of the prisoner,

TYPHOID FEVER AND DROPsY
Raw Onions Curative Agent in
Both Diseases

Mr.. John II. Cox, citizen of Balti-
more, publishes the following commu-
nication in the Baltimore American
Sometime since gentleman in
formed me that be knew of several
persons who had been cnred of typhoid
fever, by the application Of mashed
raw onions to the feet. Two patients
were so i'll that they were not expected
to live over few hours. Six large
onions were pounded to pulp and APP
nlicd to the feet of the first patient.
lie was relieved in u short time and
got well. The second case was few
weeks later and the result was equally
satisfactory. The first opportunity |
had | tried 1T upon a colored boy dur
ing one OF my visits to the house Of
reformation for colored children. He
vas very i'll with typhoid fever.
named the matter to General Horn,
who Immediately ordered the applica-
tion. In a few hours he got to sleep;
rested well and recovered. The next
opportunity was that OF a son of a friend
of mine in our city. | called to see him
on business when he informed me his
son was very i'll with typhoid pneu-
,nonia. tie had been dciiriCus for q
week on more, and required constant
watch ng for fear he might do himself
harm. advised him to try the onions
de did SO and thus speaks Of it: elm
mediat ,ly on its application he began
to improve and continued until he
finally recovered Perhaps they might
be eEicacious in other forms. The
remedy is simple and safe, and trial
in any case can do no harm. They
have cured drcpsy. Mr. Ralph Brunt,
avery respectable, reliable gentleman,
informed me that his wife had suffer-
ed for long time with dropsy. She
was swelled from her head to her feet.
She was attended by different physi-
clans. who finally said Mr.. Brunt, we
can do no more your wife cannot live.
We can give temporary relief by tap
ping her. His wife declined tho 0rara-
tion, as it would but prolong her suf-
fe"ings. AT this time his attention was
called to q paragraph in u newspaper in
which gentleman made the statement
that he had been cured o. drOpsy by
eating onions. His ph ysicians had
told him that he could not live. One
day he wanted to eat some raw onions
and did so. After ea.lng them he felt
better and tried sore more. He ,nen
made 1T a rule to eat six day. and N
a few weeks he was we'll. He felt it his
duty to publish it for the benefit of
others. Thus Mr. Brunt know of it.
He called the attention Of his wife to
1T. She was willing to try it ; did so,
aud at the end OF one week discharged
her nurse, attended to her household
duties, and was so reduced in size that
her friends could scarcely recognize
her at first sight. She lived for more
than 30 years aftcrward, and died
some years ago over so years of age.
II the foregoing proves the means of
bcneliting anyone, the only regret |
will feel will be that did not attend
to the promptings Of duty sooner"
