HONOR TO waox HONOR is DUE.

The fine. work Of the fire fighters
at the early morning fire, Wedncs-
day, deserves more than passing
remark. Our boys acted with the
cool judgement and skill of vetsr-
ans, in carrying the hose into diff
cult and dangerous places. There
was no excitement, no bungling,
but just prompt. quick response
to every call. which put the water
where it did the most good. Too
much praise cannot be given them.
And the old pump-long the Oh.
ject Of public scorn and contumely
mo one should say any more that
it does not earn its feed. Every
beat Of its sturdy heart sent eagrl
currents speeding on their way Of
salvation. The fine work of ma.
chine and men averted what nigh,
have been a great calamity, and
here's to their health and honor.

Frierson closed up and started away he
was attacked by the negro who wound
ed him and then Aed, officers were call

brute after some time running and took
after him, running him abou: 600 yards.
1t il said the officer shot him one time

MIR. HAYDEN'S VIEWS
GIVES HIS OPINION OF THE BEST
TREATMENT FOR PARALYSIS.
Declares That Or. Williams Pink Pills
Restored the Use OF His Limbs
When Other Remedies Failed.

The pressure of modern life creates So
great strain that few are free from the
dread OF using up their supply of nervous
energy and thousands are already crippled
and utterly discouraged.
All such will welcome the account here
given of an instance of complete recovery
from paralytics helpless state by simple
means within the reach OF every sufferer
II is scarcely necessary to say that REM
edy which will cure an advanced and COM
plicated case may be employed with still
greater confidence where the premonitorv
symptoms are recognized and treatment
begun at once. These symptoms are
briefly ;-frembling OF the hands sudden
loss OF power in arms or legs, frequently
affecting one whole side OF the body; stag
gering; partial or entire inability TO use
the fingers; distortion of the features,
sometimes an uncomfortable quivering Of
the chin; severe pains; difficulty in speech
Frequently the first warning is a vague
feeling Of headache, vertigo and muscular
weakness.

den gave the following account OF his oR n
sufferings and cure. II truly think.

impossible for me TO move my hands or 10

partial control Of my limbs. but / was

lieved my fever, their treatment did not
