COR. KING AND ROYAL SITS.
Discovered by a Woman.

Anyther great discovery has been
made, and that too, by lady in this
country. Disease fastened It's clutch
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered wsy to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
stump ion, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all
night and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Luz" Thus writes w. G.

The CENTURY DANCE AS was an
ticipated, the Century Dance given at
McBurne, IS Hall last night was the
society event OF the season. Toe ele-
ments were appropriations, but the
"old men" braved rain aad wind to
enjoy an old time dance in ball room
which was not overrun with "truudle-
bed trash" The hall was prettily dec
grated and the music fine. Onlv mar
ried men or those over twenty-five
years old were expected to attend, and
there were but few exceptions to this
rule. The dance, however. was open
to all ladies, aud stately danes and
olushing buds We'd with each other in
making the dance the success it proved
TO be. The costumes OF the ladies
were extremely handsome and becom.
ing and the men were in full evening
dress, though some OF the dress coats
seen were rather of the cut of some
gears back, but the wearer5 had none
the less a good time aud were as agile as
hen their coats were new. There was
no german-only dances that all coul
take part in, and all did TO their hearts
content. the dance lasted till quite a
late hour aud during the evening "
substantial supper was served. Quite
number OF guests from a distance
were present. The receipts of the ball
over expenses will be donated 10 the
Infrmary. So successful was the en-
tire affair that the ''old men" are talk
ing Of repeating the dance before the
season is over.
