than all this, she has a sweet gracious

"When my little boy was six years old
he had an attack of the measles, and after
recovering he was restless at night, had
no appetite, and was cross and fretful.
Later on, large blotches and sores broke
out on his face and limbs. We were told
they would heal in a few days; but
these few days grew into months. One
day my husband, who is a well-known
railroad man, was advised by some of his
fellow workmen to give the boy Hoods

after he had taken the first bottle we
noticed some improvement. We kept on

THE SAME OLD STORY.
The Old Folks Objected, But the
Marriage Was Celebrated.


Another "gretna green. marriage
was celebrated in the parlor at Hotel
Jones last week Tuesday night, the
contracting parties being Miss Eliza
Martinsville, Va.
1t was the same old story-the old
folks objected to the match, but the
opposition was "no good"
The ceremony was performed in the
presence of few friends by Rev. DR..
Brown.
The story goes that the groom is a
member Of the n. & WIS bridge force
and was at work near Madison. His
afffanced left home, telling her parents
that she was going to the train to mail
letter. She went, but as the train
IA freight) pulled out, Miss Dyer jump
ed on and came to Madison, where
Mr.. Williams was awaiting her ar
rival. He boarded the freight and
the two came On to Winston to be
united in the bonds of holy wedlock.
The groom elect brought friend with
him to testify before the Register OF
DEEDS in order to get the license. Mr..
Miller questioned some OF the N &
W. men and learned that Mr.. Will
liams was a high-toned gentleman and
that Miss Dyer was old enough, her
age being given at 10 years.
Mr.. Williams and his bride, who is
beautiful woman, left on the $50
train next morning for2Martinsville.
Their friends are confident that the
old people will soon become reconciled
and invite daughter and son-in-law to
come home and tall will be for

THE MORMON ELDERS.
Propose Making a House to House
Canvass of the City.

The two young Mormon Elders who
are in the city tell THE SENTINEL
that it is their purpose to make a
house to house canvass of the Twin
City, if they can secure permission
from the Mayors.
Their object ia doing this is to meet
and get acquainted with the people
and to distribute literature which
tells what they believe and teach.
The young men insist that they do
not make any charge for their preach
ing, therefore they are compelled to
depend upon the goodness of the peo-
pie for food. raiment and lodging.
When they arrived here Monday
night they called at Hotel Jones and
queried the proprietor about stopping
with him. He told the young men
that he gave ministers half rate and
was willing to do the same by them
They informed Mr.. Jones that they
versation proceeded until one OF the
Elders asked the hotel man if he
would not allow them to stay all night
with him. When informed that he
would do that for them, one of the
young men said: "Well, we will ac-
cept the bed and go hungry"
This touched the hotel mans
heart and his generosity was extend
ed. Mr.. Jones told his ''guests'' that
he would give them supper and lodg-
ing-and his proposition was accepted
without further debate. Next morn
ing. to the surprise of Mr.. Jones, the
Elders walked into the dining room
and nartOok of a hearty break fast,
after which they went away. About
l O'Clock yesterday they walked iptC
the hotel office and called for their
grips. 1t was then that Proprietor
Jones asked them if they did not un
derstand him to say the night before
that he was only willing TO give them
supper and lodging. Their reply was
that they thought he meant breakfast
too. Both expressed regret on ac
count of the misunderstanding. They
again assured the gentleman who hao
been SO kind to them that they hao
no money. They went away without
their dinner, but Mr.. Jones is conf
dent that they expected to get an
other square meal" when they step
ped in and called for their "baggage.
