city recently and he told the story of a wonderful power that has been exhibited by a.young lady, the daughter of Thomas McDowell who lives near that place. He says that the young lady can take an or- dinary leaf from any fruit tree and lay it flat in her hand, then grasping down on it, she will hold 1t tightly for a little time and upon opening her hand, there has been produced some of the fruit of which the leaf was taken. She first learned of this power when she was out in the field and carelessly took the leaf from bush and after she had mashed 1t up and held it for some time she dis covered that 1t had produced fruit. This story has the backing of a number of the best men of that section who say that they have witnessed it. We learn that some of the physicians were to go out and see this wonderful power exhibited, but We have not heard what the result was.

Insanity is the horrible dream. of the night perpetually present during the day. Insanity in women is off ener due to disease of the organs dfs- tinctly feminine than to any other cause. The insane asylums of the country are full of women whose carelessness of their health in this particular line has sen fenced them to a life that is less desirable than death. The weakness or shock that causes such insanity is frequently the re- suit of childbirth. At the time when a wo1nan's greatest usefulness should begin she is taken away from her duties aud from those she loves, and for months, or years, or forever is shut away from them by the bolts and bars of hospital. Such things are absolutely unnecessary.l pr. Pierce's Fayorite Prescription will pre- pare women for the trying time of par turition so that there will be no danger and comparatively little pain. It is the only medicine ill the world that will &C., corIlplish this purpose. It is the only medicine of its kind devised by regu- 1arly graduated, experienced and skiliful specialist in the treatment of the diseases of women. It will cure any weakness or disease of the feminine organs. It strengthens and purifies them, relieving them of inflammation, soothing all pain, promoting regularity. and putting stop to debllitating drains. 4,e' Dr. Pierces Pleasant Pellets aid the cure of all sorts of diseases by gently stimulating and invig by fesforing to the entire digestive tracf fegi- lar. steady. natural, heaitty action Don't let an that anything else Is Just as good" He makes more money on the "just as good"

 Pickett.
 Greensboro, Jan. 11--fSpeciai Core spondence.) blast night two of Greens boro's best citizens died, ]. P Lieser and Dr. J. M. Pickett
 Mr Leiser was 67 years of age, and has been a resident of Greensboro for many vears. He was native of Bavaria, but :ame to this country in early life. He rss member of Company c, Thirty ixth Alabama regiment, and made a 2ood soldier in the war between the tates having served faithfully from the beginning to the close of the war. He was one of the defenders of Spanish fort, which fell just before the close of the war. and was the last engagement in which Mir Leser participated. He leaves ia family and many friends to mourn his death
 Dr. Pickett was 54 years of age, was one of the leading physicians of Greens 1oro. and was universally esteemed for 1is high character and good deeds. He will probably be more missed by the poor end needy than any man in the communi- y for he was always ready to respond ro their calls for his professional ser vices. The sickness which resulted In Geath was contracted by exposure last Sunday one week ago in visiting a poor negro who was i'll and suffering. and -vfo was unable to pay for his services. He was unwell at the time. and when member of his family protested against 1is exposing himself to a cold rain, he remarked: "The man is sick and suf- fering, and I must go to his relief" Such men constitute the salt of the earth, and will have their reward after the storms of life are over. Dr. Picketts funeral ser vices were held in the Methodist church this evening, and his remains followed by large concoudse of mourning rela ' lives and friends were inferred in the public cemetery. -f

Leise and pr. J. M. Pickett. The latter is very i'll with pneumonia, and there is very little hope of his recovery.
 MT Wallace Stolienwerck, of Bir- mingham. who came here two weeks ago to recuperate from the effects of an at tack of grip, had a relapse and has been confined to his bed ever since he came. He is now improving and will. in few days be able to return to Birmingham.
 The French gentleman who hired the horse and buggy of Messrs Hall & Bayal for a short trip into the country and forgot to return, has been arrested in Columbus, Ga. The horse and buggy were recovered in Dadeville, from which place he went to Lafayette and there stole another horse and buggy. but was pursued and captured in Columbus.
 good deal of corn and meal has been brought from the west already and sold in this market This Is a sad commen- tary upon the farming methods of this country. which should raise all the corn and meat needed to supply the wants of our people.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Journal
publishes a cable dispatch from stephen
Crane. who saw the battle Of Valestino,
where General smolensld hurled back
Edhem Paaha. Mr.. Crane says;
Velestlno has proved that the Greek
soldiers when well led can cope success
fully with the Turks even though out
numbered. This battle has proved them
good fighters. long fighters and stayerS.
To be sure the army retreated from Vel

The commander bit his fingers and
cursed when the order came TO retreat.
He knew that his army had victory with
in its grasp. For three days he had
been holding the Turks beautifully In
check. killing them as fast as they fell
upon him. In the middle OF intONicatlon
OF victory came the orders TO fall back.

The slaughter OF the Turks was enor-
nous. The fire OF the Greeks was 80
tiercc that the Turkish soldiers while
charging shielded their eyes with their
hands. Eight charges the Turks made
on Saturday and they were repulScd each
time. The desperate Turkish cavalry
even attacked their enemy on steep,
rocky hill. The insane, wicked squad
rons were practically annihilnted. Seat
tered fragments slid slowly back. leav-
ing the plain black with wounded and
dead men and horses. From distance u
