AN ALL DAY BATTLE.
SENSATIONAL MEETING BETWEEN
GRANT AND LEE PARTlSANS.

Ihe weapons Chosen Were Knives. the
Spectators Formed a Ring, and Their
che Trouble Began Where the Crowd
to Its Disgust, Failed to Mix In.
One afternoon when was out on the
mountain side with Zeb White, the DOS.
sum hunter of Tennessee, he told me
this story:
After the close of the wah things
was purity bad around yere fur awhile.
Some was CoDfeds, and some was Yanks.
and both was ready fur a row at any
time. A feller named Peters moved in
above the crossroads, and Teller named
Hopkins moved in below. Both war
strangers to each other and to the rest
OF u.s. Peters gin out that he was Union
and ut with Grant, and Hopkins gin
out that he was Confed and fit with
Lee, and both was powerful on the brag.
One day they cum together at the cross
roads, stopped and walked around and
looked at each other fur spell, Just as
20 hev seen two strange dawgs do.
Then Peters, be sez:
That thar Gineral Grant ar a kuss

'Mebbe he ar, seq Hopkins, but
knows OF better man and better
fighter, and his name ar Gineral Lee.
'Gineral Lee? Gineral Lee? Seems
like I've heard the name befo'? Did he
fout in this wah which has jist ended

He did. He ar the man who lick

what Corbett had to say to the Chronicle

by something up his sleeve.
II mean l have Il letter from COrbett

CURES CATARRH.
Medicine That Cures Catarrh
Wherever Located.

All classes and conditions of people
have chronic catarrh. Old men have it
young men and young women have it
which soon makes them old men ant
women. Mothers and grandmothers have
it. 1t spares neither strong nor weak
old or young, healthy or sickly. All ranks
of people have chronic catarrh. Rich
men, poor men, beggar men. thieves, law.
yers, doctors, merchants, priests. Not
only catarrh of the head, hut catarrh OF
the throat, catarrh of the lungs, catarrh
of the stomach, catarrh of the liver, ca
tarrh of the kidneys, catarrh of the
bowels and multitude OF women are
afflicted with catarrh of the pelvic or
gans. Catarrh is word which includes
a multitude of diseases. Nearly one-half
of the diseases to which the human flesh
is liable, are in reality nothing more nor
less than catarrh in some phase or loca-
ton.
When it is said, therefore, that Peru
ma cures catarrh wherever located: a
much larger fact is stated than at first
appears. If it be true that Pe-ru-na really
does cure catarrh wherever located, what
a multitude of diseases Pe-ru-na will cure.
Who is it that says pe-ru-na will cure
catarrh werever located? Doctors say it.,
lawyers say it, preachers say it, vast
army of men, and women say it who have
tried it. The old and the young say. it..
They say it in the east, in the west they
say it in the north and the south. All
these say that Pe-rtl-na will cure catarrh
wherever located; and they say it, too,
without any solicitation, hesitation or re-
enumeration. Never vas greater asser-
ton crowded into fewer words: Pe-ru-na
cures catarrh wherever located.

who gave him a drubbing that he will not
soon forget. They met for a twenty
round bout at 116 pounds. as stipulated.
At the opening Of the fight Erne forced
the fighting. At the beginning of the
third round Flaherty sailed in and honors
were even. In the fifth Flaherty landed
a hard left on Erne's left eye. Erne
seemed to lose his head altogether from
this to the end of the fight. During the
last two rounds the Buffalo man made a
game struggle to offset the decided lead
that his opponent had gained over him,
but his efforts were futile and the referee
awarded Flaherty the bout.
