FAIR Committee Banqueted.

The reception Monday evening at
Second Baptist church In honor of the
friends who did so much to make the
recent fair success, was highly en-
joyable affair. Rev. W. Bishop John
son, in brief speech, expressed his
hearty appreciation Of the efforts of
the faithful committee, and bade them
Godspeed. Miss Carrie Bell secretary
Of the committee and one of the most
reliable supporters Of the church, read
an itemIzed statement Of receipts and
expenditures, showing profit of more
than $400, which was largely in excess
OF the most sanguine expectations. A
sumptuous banquet was in waiting and
the guests and large assembly paid
their respects to the toolhsome menu
in most positive and convincing man

Remedy for Pneumonia.

y correspondent of the New York
Sun offers the following prescrip-
tlon for pneumonia
Take six or ten onions, according
to size, and chop fine, put in large
spider over n hot fire ; then add
about the same quantity of rye meal
and vinegar enough to make it a thick
paste.
In the meanwhile, stir it thor
oughly, letting it simmer five or ten
minutes. Then put in a cotton bag
large enough to cover the lungs, and
apply it to the chest as hot as you
can bear. When it gets cool apply
another, and thus continue by re-
heating the poulticcs. I'm few
hours the patient will be out of dan
ger.
This simple remedy has never
ialled IN this too often fatal malady.
Usually three or four application will
be sufficient; but continue always
until pcrSpiration starts freely from
the chest.
This simple remedy was formu-
lated many years ago by one Of the
best physicians New England has
ever known, who never lost pa
ticnt by this disease, and won his re-
nown ny saving persons by simple
remedies after the best medical to].
cnt had pronounced their case hope
less.
Personally, we know of three per-
sons who were saved by he remedy
last winter in Boston after their
physicians had given them up to die,
and If record was made Of all simi
lar cases during the last six years it
would fill good sized volume.

The Black Diamond Again.

"Mayor Hood says tho promoters of

need for the $4,000 voted by the city last
fall to promote this great trunk line in
this section, and that at the next regular
meeting of city council tho matter of
issuing bonds to raise the amount would
come up for consideration. Incidentally
ho mentioned tho fact that it had been
given out that tho financial agent of the
Black Diamond was in America after a
trip to London, whore the surveys of tho
proposed limo were submitted to tho syn
dicated there which is backing tho big
enterprise. 1t is claimed that tho syndi-
cato is well pleased with tho surveys and
tho financial agent, Col. Dickcrson, re-
turned to America to got other impor-
tant information. lion. j. l.. Tribblc

actual work will begin on tho road next
