MRS. CRAWFORD DEAD.
Formerly Miss Nettie Truesdel1 of
This Place.

Minneapolis contractor, and daughter
of Levi Truesdell of this city, died at
her home in Minneapolis on Monday,
May 3lst. Dropsy of the heart was
the cause of death. Mrs. Crawford
was i'll for two or three weeks prior to
her death, and about week before
the demise her father was summoned
by telegraph. She showed signs of
improvement for two or three days af-
ter Mr.. Truesdell arrived at her Min
neapolis home. Then the trouble at
tackled her heart, and she died as
above stated.
The funeral!lwas held from the
residence on Wednesday, and her
body was laid to rest in Layman's
cemetery. Rev. G. M. Heard, pastor
of the Bloomington avenue church,
contributes the following to the life
record of the deceased:
"She was born Oct. II, 1868, at
Northfield, MINI. Her mother died
about four years afterwards, and with
her father she then moved to Redwood
Falls, where she grew up to young
womanhood and embraced the Chris
tan faith. A little over a year ago
she came to Minneapolis to find en-
ployment. She soon found friends
among the members of the Blooming
ton Avenue Methodist Episcopal
church, located in the vicinity of
which she lived. On the 9TH of De-
cember, 1896, she was united in mar
rage to Charles G. Crawford. Her
welded life, though brief, was happy.
She enjoyed her home. But her
health, never robust, suddenly began
to fail. In spite of medical skill and
the best professional nursing she
passed from her home below to her
home above. Her funeral was at
tended by her father and uncle and a
goodly company of neighbours"
The deceased was the only daugh-
ter of Levi Truesdell. She was the
last of Mr.. Truesdelrs family. Dur
ing her long residence here she made
many friends in the school room and
otherwise. In school she was an in
defatigable worker and at home, in
her later years, she conducted the
household for her father. She was an
active worker in the church during
all of her residence here, and during
her last year on earth at Minneapolis.
Her husband was a contractor by pro-
fession, and was engaged in build
ing two large residences in Minneap-
oils when his wife was taken ill. He
owned a beautiful home in the Bloom
ington avenue precinct and is we'll
known and highly respected.
The father of the deceased and un-
Gle, A. b. Truesdell, arrived home
from Minneapolis with the informa-
ton of the death last Thursday.
The deceased was an excellent china
painter, as number of her works in
this city bear evidence.

A SHOE STORY.
4 Forerunner Of the 6. A. r. En-
CdmDment.

q F0Ferunner OF the 9. a. r. En-
campment.
The first pair Of shoes I had in
the army" said an old soldier at COM
mittee meeting the other day, "were
two sizes too big for me. I wore six
es; my first army shoes were Fights.
| didn't take them from choice. /
got the nearest I could to my size.
We were being fitted out from head
to foot for the first time; that was
when we were mustered in; and the
required numbers of pairs of shoes, of
assorted sizes, had been delivered to
each company. When l got at them
they had been culled over so much
that there was nothing left smaller
than Fights.
Il didn't think it would be possible
for me to wear shoe two sizes too
big for me, but I tried a pair on.
They were brogans, having flaps, with
two eyelets on each side, lacing over
the instep with leather shoe strings.
They tied snugly, SO that the heel and
often part of the shoe, and the sole,
did not shuck on the foot. The for
ward part of my foot felt as though
it were outdoors; but I thought they
might do; I had got to have pair of
shoes and took them.
81 wore those shoes for months, and
with the greatest comfort. They
were enormous, or they looked SO to
me. AS soon as I began to wear
them the thick leather of the uppers
bumped up into big, rounded ridges,
with valleys between, across the top,
giving to the top OF the shoe sort of
Huted or corrugated effect. These
corrugations remained always just the
same as long as I wore the shoes.
They were not what you would call a
handsome shoe, but, as I said, they
did not shuck around on my feet, and
they we're mighty comfortable.
"But it doesn't follow that after
that always got shoes two sizes too
big for me; as matter of fact. I did
MT; but always did get shoes plenty
large for me; plenty; and found
comfort in wearing them.
Sometimes, we use to draw boots
cavalry boots. And it was kind O
fun to get boots. [ remember very
we'll the first pair of boots I drew, l
think I felt (perhaps in little ma
turer sort of way, though not much
so, either) about as much pleased ov-
er that pair of boots as I did with my
first red-tops, when was a boy. To
get on pair of cavalry boots sort of
made man feel little bit less like
Flooding infantryman, and more
like cavalryman; it gave him a sort
of horse and sabre touch. But this
was only as he walked down the COM
pany street after drawing the boots
from the quartermaster; the next day,
on picket, the boots we're about the
same to him as shoes would have
been.
"Still there were men who preferred
boots and always drew boots when
they could get them. But for my
self, like shoes better. A mounted
man, of course, wants boots; but &C.
cording to my notion the most COM
Portable thing for an infantry soldier
to wear, is a good, roomy shoe that
can be made snug enough somewhere
SO that it won't shuck around on the
foot"

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away bottle of their Digestive Cor
dial to any one who might call at their
New York Office, there was a great
rush and great many people thought
they were crazy.
Subsequent events proved it to have
been very clever advertising trans
action, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, it was in the end
profitable; nearly every one that took
free bottle came back for more and
paid for it with pleasure, saying they
derived better results from it's use
than from any other medicine they
had ever used.
There is nothing 50 uniformly sue
cessful in the treatment of stomach
troubles as the Shakers Digestive Cor

Itching,
Burning,
Eczema

Is the external indication of a con-
dition of the blood which produces q
fiery irritation almost unbearab1e. It is
a mistake to think that his local irrita-
ton is the disease itse1f-it is simply an
evidence of a disordered condition of the
blood. SThe seat of the disease is in the
blood, and this is why the various salves
aud ointments usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin of the trouble; only a
blood remedy a do that. S. s. S. is

MR.. WILLIAM Armstrong.

"I have been a sufferer for eight years
with that horrible disease, Eczema, at
times all over my body, and no person
can describe the burning and itching 7
had to endure.
"The extent of my sufferings can be
appreciated when I state hat my con
dition was such that I could not take
my bed, and for three months I never
laid down, but was compelled to sit in
my chair when not moving around. I
was treated by the best of physicians
with no success, and tried all the patent
medicines recommended for Eczema,
without any good results. I hen went
to the Indiana Mud baths, with the same
results, and then to Mt. Clements, the
celebrated medical resort, where tie
treatment partially helped me, but the

male and water and the citron fruit
might cure me, but found no cure.

THE REVIVAL IN TRADE.

The trade reports last week are
exceedingly encouraging. The
facts whichthey present are such
as to leave no doubt that a gene
raj revival has set in all along
the line and that if the gains
which have been made during
the past two weeks continue
and there is every reason to bes
lieve they will-we will soon be
in the midst Of a season of gem
uine'' prosperity in commercial,
industrial and agricultural Cir
Giles.
AS a significant fact Dun points
out that during July failures
among manufacturers were small
Ter than in any month for fortys
six months past. In trade cir
Giles the failures were smaller
than in any month except one
within that period, and in many
branches of business smaller
than in most months of which
records exist. Another most
encouraging feature is found in
ll1C 10Op la2G loSG A1OhUu as VIC
first for four years in which the
volume of business reported by
clearing houses was larger than
in the same month Of 1892, which
was the last good year before
the panic of 1898.
Bradstreet's adds that the
movement Of general merchan-
disc throughout the country is
unquestionably larger than last
week, cotton goods and wooden
industries are better off, and the
stagnation in iron and steel has
given way to a general inquiry
and increasing output. There
r good crops throughout the
nation, and TIE movement in the
prices of products is upward,
with wheat as the leader. 1t is
our big crops and the demand
that will come from Europe for
breadstufs that constitute the
basis of the coming revival.
A significant fact not found in
the trade reports is the increase in
railroad earnings. The business
of the railroads, as indicated by
their earnings, forms an un-
mistakable trade barometer. The
Louisville & Nashville railroad for
July showed larger earnings than
during the same month of any
year since 1892, and the decrease
from July, 1892, was only $780,
945. For the fourth week of
Jaly this roads earnings exceeded
the record of the corresponding
week for five years past, including
1892, the increase over the fourth
week in July of that year being
$43, 10. A prominent Southern
Railway official says that for the
first FIVE days in August the earn
ings of the Southern Railway had
been double those of the corres-l
ponding period of last year.
These facts and figures tell the
story of returning prosperity.
Hard times and calamity have run
their course. In the natural order
of things prosperity comes. The
new tariff has not helped to bring
it either, except in the sense that
the disposal of the tariff question
has cleared the way for business
transactions to be conducted on a
known basis. Good crops, the
economy of the American people,
the adjournment of Congress, and
a rest from political agitation,
have been big factors in restoring
confidence and reviving trade and
industry. G%oldsboro is prepared
to share to the fullest extent the
benefits of better times, and has
done and will continue to do her
part in creating them.

The General Level of Prices.

It is a very noteworthy fact
that wheat is the only principal
product Of the soil in this coun-
try that is rising in value at the
present time. Corn and cotton
both display a downward ten
dency, while pig iron, like silver,
is cheaper now than ever before
since a record of prices has been
kept. Evidently tne high price OF
wheat is due to the abnormal
scarcity of supply. and it does
not materially affect the general
level of prices, which is steadily
tending downward in all gold
standard countries.
