A CURE FOR ALL.

The question has often been asked Can
all drunkards be cured?" Our reply is
invariably yes" All can be relieved of
the alcoholic craving or necessity. The
permanency of the cure depends upon the
patients appreciation of the necessities
and advantages of a sober life. When
once cured, he must designedly re-create
the disease before there will be any
craving or desire for alcohol. Then an
other thing, there are no limitations as
to age. The Kelley Treatment has cured
old men of eighty and children of three.
All ages are amenable TO the treatment.
Surely with such relief so near at sand
as Greensboro, n. c., there is no eX-
cuse for any one to be in need f lie
treatment.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Ills, March 26th.-The corn
market was broad and aggressive today,
leading the other markets, closing strong,
May 81 to 1ac. over Saturday. Wet
weather and small stocks were factors.
From the top the market yielded on the
heavy receipts. Wheat was influenced
considerably by corn and provisions, but
succumbed finally to the bearish Stats
tics, closing weak, May &c. down. The
provisions market went soaring because
a large demand met with very scant Of
ferings, closing from sc. higher for May
lard to zoe. up for May pork. May oats
at the close were unchanged.
