Profitable Hog Raising.

There never was time when anyone could
enter into the business of raising choice thor
oughbred stock with . better prospect of brill
liant success than at present. It is the growing
desire of the farmers and stock raisers to pro-
cure the best. The famous O. ]. G. Swine,
originated by the L. B. Silver Co., Cleveland,
Ohio. have attracted great attention because of
their hardness, rapid growth. and the excel
lency of the meat These hogs grow moro
number of pounds in the same number Of days
than any other. aad being of larger frame,
naturally outrank all competitors. They will
fatten at any age, which in no wise interferes
with their growth. In cholera they survive
when others die by the thousands.
When you contemplate improving your sty
it will pay you to look further into tho merits
of the 0. /. C. Swine. more adequate idea of
their value might be gained by the following
expression of satisfaction:
"WITTINa, Texas, AUG. 81, 1895.

Fierce Fighting at Wareman's Mills and
Subsequent Pursuit.

Fierce Fighting at Wareman's Mills and
Subsequent Pursuit.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Thirty
three years ago was the battle of Wareman's
Mills, Va, where the 11th Tenn. Cav. and
Co. A, 91st Ind, and one company of the I'd
n. c., were stationed, about four miles above
the Cumberland Gap, in Virginia. There
were, in all, probably 500 effective men.
Just at dawn we were completely sur
rounded by the enemy, and pretty soon had
a band-to-hand fight. the enemy greatly
outnumbering us. They were all in our
camps and our men could not form for de-
fense.
Our Lieut.-Col. Davis was wounded and
captured soon in the engagement, together
with the said company of 91st Ind. About
100 men and IS of our regiment succeeded
in retreating across little hill and into a
long, narrow field.
Just as We entered the field we were sur
rounded by the enemy's cavalry and ordered
to surrender, which order was defantly
scorned. The rebels opened fire on our
little determined band, and we returned
ii promptly at short range, and caused the
enemy to quickly open their ranks for us to
pass through.
They, however. rallied and closed around
as again, but it was only necessary for one
more volley to again open their ranks. We
| succeeded in getting into the woods and
went up the Cumberland Mountain, through
the almost impossible underbrush, loaded
down with snow.
The enemy followed us almost to the top.
When we got to the top We could not see
any distance in any direction. There were
no roads and no signs of civilization to see
in any course.
We shaped our course as best we could for
the Gap, four miles away, getting there late in
the evening and some not until the next
| day. We had been without anything to eat
all day, as we had started very early and
| had not taken time to get any breakfast
Our regiment were all killed or captured
except about 100 men, and the 1lth Tenn.
Cav. was then consolidated with the 9th
Tenn. Cav, and was mustered out Of the
service at Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. II, 1866

Just as soon as Gen. Prentiss placed his

giving any signals, being in charge of the
Signal Service there and the other men men
toned under me.
On Tuesday morning about a. M, April

Capt. Barrett, without the loss of man.
The factory was 20 miles from Port Hudson,

Strange New Shrub that Cures Kidney and
Bladder Disease. Rheumatism, etc.-Free.
We have previously described the new bo-
tanic discovery, Alkavis, which proves spe-
cfic cure for diseases caused by Uric acid in the
blood, or disorder of the Kidneys urinary
organs. 1t is now stated that Alkavis is
product of the well-known Kava-Ksva Shrub,
and is specific cure for these diseases just as
quinine is for malaria. Hon. e. c. Wood, of
Lowell. Ind, writes that in four weeks Alkavis
cured him OF Kidney and bladder disease of ten
years standing, and Rev. Thomas M. Owen, of
West Pawlet, VT, gives similar testimony.
Many ladies also testify to its wonderful cura-
tive powers in disorders peculiar to woman
hood. The only importers of Alkavis so far
are the Church Kidney Cure Co., of 416 Fourth
Avenue, New York, ana they are SO anxious to
prove its value that for the sake of introduc-
tion they will send free treatment of Alkavis

entirely free, to prove its wonderful curative
power.

batting, better base running and
sharper. cleaner fielding, in which Her.
