A Letter From Ohio.
ST.. PARIS, o., Mar. 20, '9I

The weekly visits OF the HERALD
are always looked forward to with
great pleasure by us, and it's columns
of locals devoured with avidity. l
seem as one inside a camera looking
out, while the things transporting
in the vicinity of Phillipsburg are
thrown in upon a screen for my
amusement or instruction. Scarcely
a single name of my Kansas &C.
quaintances has drifted away from
the grasp Of my memory-thanks TO
the HERALD, while l quite likely, am
forgotten of all. 1t Is three years
this spring since we left Phillipsburg
for our home in the Buckeye state.
The last two of these we have spent
In this little town of about fifteen
hundred inhabitants. The town is
situate on the old stage line from
Columbus to Indianapolis in 1854
what is known as the "Pan. Handle"
II. r. relegated the stage to the rear.
We are the second highest point in
the state on the "divlde" between the
Miami and Mad river vallies. You
are probably aware that the "Pan-
Handle" is controlled by one Of the
largest English syndicates in the
United States. There goes thunder
ing through this town thirty-fve
freight and twelve passenger trains
every twenty-four hours, Our town
supports seven groceries five of whom
do about $4,000 worth of business
each, annually. We boast of two
weekly papers, Six churches aud
three saloons The Walbron IL Rlk-
or firm manufacture the world re.
nown Pony Carriage which took the
premium at the Worlds FAIR and
are shipped to all parts of the world
This is a famous point for poultry
packing. Thomas & Son are the
principal shippers though there are
four other houses that do nearly as
much each This one firm dresses
from one thousand to fifteen hundred
head per day or from three to five
thousand pounds. The daily out put
for the five months Of the season.
is from twelve to fifteen thousand
pounds. Thomas & Son IN addition
to handling the Csrcases ship more
than ten tons of feathers per season
The parsonage is not more than one
block away from the two larger es-
Establishments which is enough to as

in relating how God answered prayer

Well, you have had enough of this
Let me relate what we have passed
through as a family within the last
twelve months. One year ago Mrs
Strong was taken with facial erysip
elias, in about two weeks 1t disappear
ed leaving a hard lump in her righi
breast which soon proved to be- 1
cancer. We began to correspond a
once with hospitals, surgeons anG
specialists. On the first day of Jan
usry we went to Rochester, N. Y, t
DIR. A. N. Brsmsn who, | am glad tC
say hes effected marvellous cure
1t Is simply for the benefit of auy o.
the HERALD's readers who may pos
sibly be suffering from this dreaC
malady that l speak of our own cast
at all. We have learned three thing,
concerning cancers; first, there ar,
many more of them than is usually
supposed, secondly, they can be re
moved without the knife; thirdly
DIR. Brsmsn's treatment is compare
