Our Bellows Falls Letter


Fred White, formerly employed at
Crosier's livery stable, started into the
livery business himself in North Wal
pole recently in small way. Satur-
day, evidently finding riches, and
glory a great way off, he concluded to
take a trip north. With a turnout
composed of two horses, one owned by
II. A. Hatch and the other bought of
Fred Morrison, a wagon purchased of
W. w. Cory, Il pair of harness and "A
pole borrowed of II. S. Frost 5 livery,
he started out ostensibly for drive
but has failed to return. Monday in
quiries convinced his creditors that
it was possible he didn't intend to re
turn, and word was sent to surround
ing towns to be on the lookout. 1t
was thought he was in Proctorsville
and Ludlow Sunday, but no definite
clue as to his whereabouts can be
learned and it is quite possible he
may be nearing Canadian territory.

An Ohio Man Cured Of This
Stubborn Ailment.
From ne Ne,0s. H,averlu, Ohis.

Mr.. Eli Potts, of Waverly, Ohio, has
been in business there for fourteen
wears and is a veteran of the Mexican
war in which he served with Company
II, of the Fourteenth Tennessee regl-
ment. At the age of rs he bears the
respect of all who know him and the
following experience, related by INN,
is raised beyond all doubt by the high
character of the narrator. He says:
"About seven years ago disease
fastened upon me which, as 1t deyel-
oped, proved to be locomotor ataXia. l
became very nervous, could not walk
without having dizzy spells and did
not sleep well. AS the disease adj
vanced | lost control Of my muscles ana
could only walk q short distance. l
could not control the direction of my
steps and was always afraid of falling.
"'This continued until there was a
breaking down of my entire system.
About two years ago / saw DIR. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People adver-
tised. The case cured was similar to
mine and l gave the pills trial. Very
soon after / began taking them | eX-
pericnced relief and l took the pills
regularly. Gradually the control of
the muscles was restored and my gene
raj health improved. The dizzy feel
ing left me and has never returned.
From my own experience l know that
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are a great
remedy and am pleased torecommend
them to any one who suffers as | did"

Our friend Garrett, of the Cartba-

the Magnolia as the State flower. Hear
him:
We are specially gratifed at the selection
made by the school children. Nearly forty
years ago we heard Mississippi called 1.-THE
Magnolia State" by the Confederate
soldiers in the field and we well remember
when, as we hobbled our weary way home
ward after the surrender, we came unex-
pectedly upon a magnificent Magnolia tree
in full bloom. 1t lightened our march,
brought sunshine into our downcast heart,
and made us feel as If home were already
at hand.
The Terry Headlight says: mo better
selection could have been made. The
Magnolia is a magnifcently grand
flower and suggestive of the Sunny
South"
