For The
Magill Letter.

Maglll, July 1.-NOthing un.
usual has happened since our last
writing.
This community was blessed
with a fine rain on Wednesday
evening, which again gladdened
the hearts of the farmers.
Crops are now on a boom, and.
as expected, brought trouble Tor
the "bushy tails" for, just at the
break of day Thursday morning,
could be heard the sound of Does
horn, and away over on the hill
could be heard the "kicking mule
man" in reply, and it was not
long until the old fox hunters of
Magill was heard, and, long before
the sun rose, such chase | have
not heard before in many a day.
| think the boys are running
about 10 dogs but the old hunt
er will claim the premium for
Joe and Hanna.
Well, it seems that the "kick
ing mule man" is destined for
lots of trouble. He accompanied
some of the boys to take bee
tree a few nights ago, and two or
three of the little honey makers
found a lodgment somewhere on
the inside of his trousers. Well,
it just won't do to tell what he
said.
We are sorry TO learn that Mr..
"A. ii. Duncan, former resident
of this community, is quite sick
at his home at Heath Spring.
Mr.. j. G. Hilliard, Sr., had the
misfortune to lose his horse on
Saturday night last.
We are glad to learn that our
pastor, Rev. S. n. Watson. is fast
recovering, and will soon be able
to fill his appointments again.
| understand the doctor was
down on Monday last looking
over his farm. | guess he was
very well pleased. We are told
that the doctor is doing a consid.
cradle practice now.
Our fat man is making rapid
progress in learning to sing-so
much so that he now occupies a
seat in the choir.
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. T. Peach have
adopted two little mothcr.u.s
chlldrcn--a boy aod gir,--,Aa, |

Of charity. Friend Tom is always
willing to help the nee}y.
The annual picnic Of the Iih-
erty Hill rifles was attended bv a
very large crowd--larger, | think.
than previous years. The base
ball game between Libetty Hi
and Russell Place resulted in a
victory for Liberty Hill.

The Pyramid Pile Cure is a success be-
cause it has the merit which brings sue

cures them 10 stay cured. 1t is now the
most popular and best known pile remedy
before the public, and one reason fOr its
great popularity is because it has taken
the place Of surgical operations, once con
sidered the only sure cure.
People often wonder that so simple

stnate trouble as piles are well known to
be. Yet the greatest remedies and greatest
Inventions we have are the simplest, and
the fact that it does cure is all the sufferer
from plies wants TO know.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures piles in any
stage Of the disease as shown by the fol-
lowing testimonial letters which are pub
lished every week and new cases reported
each time:

suffered very much. The first trial did her
more good than anything she had ever
tried. Il is just as represented"

pleased and satisfied with results. It does
the work and no mistake.
Mr.. ". r. Hines, of Magnolia, Ark,
says: Although I have used the Pyramid

has been very beneficial to me-"

show what IL viii do in different cases.

STREET LIGHTING EXTENSION.
Petition From a Citizen Receives

4 Petition From a Citizen Receives
the Commissioners Consideration.
The Commissioners recently received a
letter from B. A. Bean, living at 312 Ran
dolph Street northeast, requesting the ex-
tension of the street lighting system on
Randolph Street between Third and Fourth
Streets northeast. Mr. Bean states in his
letter that the street in question Is totally
without lights of any kind, nOtwithstand-
ing the fact that the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad tracks run along Fourth Street
thereby making it a dangerous thorough
fare. The letter was referred to Electri-
cal Engineer Allen for investigation, and
his report was received at the executive
office yesterday morning
Mr.. Allen states that this portion Of
the city is lighted by means Of electric
lights supplied by a current from overhead
wires. There are no wires for such lights
at present on Randolph Street, and it is
not deemed practicable according to the
electrical engineer, to make additional ex-
tensions Of the overhead system There
are only two houses on this street between
Third and Fourth Streets, and a gas main
extends throughout the street, so that
gas could be used to light the street in
case 1t Was deemed necessary
Mr.. Allen recommends. however. that
no action be taken in the case until the
