The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of
the system, thereby destroying tho
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature to do
it's work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails TO cure. Send for list
of testimonials. Address,

Ihere was more than a little commo-
ton in the Office of the Gazette when an
assignment was found on the reporters
hook yesterday morning instructing one
OF them that there was to be a millinery
opening at the store of Miss Grace
Shields on West Washington street. and
that it was to be written up.
There We're several smart young gan
ders around the reporters hook. and each
Of them hungered for the assignment.
The one 20 whom it was directed by the
business managing editor-in-chief Won
dered why it had come to him. He did
not want 1t for several reasons. He knew
nothing about hats. could not tell one
ribbon from another couldn't tell lace
from yelling. couldn't tell feather

IN mis- life. Worse than all ne is the most
bashful man that ever sought introduction

locks, whenever a young lady passes him
on the street, even if she does not look
at him.
He had to go. How he ever got into or
out of that millinery store he absolutely
refuses to tell. How he was treated
there, and by whom, of this he will not

All that he has written about it is the

Just then Major Perdue came out

borrowed some harness and a wagon,
and drove it home full of provisions,
and with a comfortable sum of money
which the children's grandfather had
loaned him. Aunt Minervy Ann car

didn't mind that The children rode
with her little piece, and as a result
