Story of - Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains OF disease is the worst
form Of slavery. George ID. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such n
slave was made free. He says: my
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles Of Elec-
trio Bitters, she is wonderfully i'm
proved and able to do her own work."
This supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cues nervousness, sleep
lessnsss, melancholy, headache, back
ache, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a god
send to weak, sickly, run down people.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only SOC.

DR.. }. n. CRAIG DROPS DEAD.
a Former Citizen of Lancaster
And Pastor of the Presbyterian
Church.

nnu PdStOT VI TIC pTtSUytCIidn
Church.
The following account of the
sudden demise Of DR.. Craig of
Atlanta, Ga, will be read with
interest since he at one time
lived here and was pastor of the
Presbyterian church for q period
during the war, having left here
to enter the war as chaplain:
Newport News, Va, Oct "a.
The morning session of the
one hundred and thirteenth an
nual convention of the Presby-
terian synod of Virginia, Mary
land and West Virginia, now
being held in the First Presby-
terian church, was brought to a
tragic close at II o'clock this
morning by the sudden death of
Rev. DR.. John Newton Craig, of
Atlanta, Ga, secretary of the
board of home missions of the
Presbyterian general assembly.
DR.. Craig, under special
order of business, was address
ing the synod on the subject of
home missions. He began his
address with great force and
those who heard him say he was
entering on the finest address
he. had ever made, but it was
evident AS he proceeded, that he
was in pain. He had been
speaking half an hour and was
just concluding his remarks,
when, clutching his notes, he
said, Brethren l can say 10
more"
He staggered to the nearest
chair, his notes fell from his
fingers, there was a faint gasp
and he died.
The synod adjourned to meet
this afternoon without conclu.
ding it's business.
DR.. Craig had always ex-
pressed a wish to die in har-
ness. A hack was waiting at
the door of the church to convey
him to the depot as soon as he
finished speaking, as he intend
ed to leave directly for South
Carolina, where he was sched-
uled to make an address at the
synod of South Carolina tonor-
row. His wife and daughter
are here. The remains will be
forwarded to Atlanta this eve-
ming.
DR.. Criag had for fifteen years
been secretary of the Home Mis-
sion Society of the Southern
Presbyterian church. During
that time he has raised the stan
dard of the work to degree
highly pleasing to all Presbyte
rians.
"He made the best Home
Mission secretary the church
has ever had" said a Presbyte-
rian minister this morning.
when told of DR.. Craig's sud
den death.
All the pastorates of the de-
ceased were in Mississippi and
and Virginia. He came to At
lanta fifteen years ago, and since
that time has been the life of
the mission work from this CEN
ter.
DR.. Craig's health through
the summer was not good, but
he was feeling excellently when
he left here. Mrs. Craig said at
the time that she would never
see him again, though there was

abuses. which have already been lie sub

To accomplish this purpose the Score
tary has decided to appoint commits

the American side. These are all law
yers, well versed in the Spanish code, as
well tas thoroughly acquainted With
American practice.
The Cuban contingent will probably be

amendments OF the civil code, where ne
