'DeWitt's is the only genuine Witch Hazel Salve' writes J. l.. Tucker, of Centre, Ala. "I have used it in my family for piles, cuts and burns for years and can recommend it to be the best salve on the market. Every fami- ly should keep it, as it is an invaluable household remedy, and should always be kept on hand for immediate uSe." Mrs Samuel Gage, of North Bush, N. Y., says: Fl had a fever sore on my ankle for twelve years that the doctors could not cure. All saiveS and blood remedies proved worthless. I could not walk for over two years. Finally I was persuaded to try DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, which has con- pletely cured me. It is wonderful relief.'' DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures without leaving scar. Sold by R. H.

JOHN B. sHELToN's HOUSE SAVED
 FROM BURNING.
 The house owned by John B. Shel- ton in the north part of the village and occupied by L. c. Gibson and fam fly, had narrow escape, Saturday night, November l9, from being de- stroyed by fire. Between 12 and l o'clock R. Barford, who boards with MT Gibson, was awakened by noiS e and opened the door into the kitchen to see what it was. when he found the room all on fire. It was so full of fire and smoke he could not push through it. He quickly went around the house to the front where MT Gibson and fam fly were sleeping, and awoke them. The neighbOrs were soon notified of the fire and a number quickly respond ed A bucket brigade was started and after an hour or more of hard work they had the fire out, but not until everything in the room had been de- stroyed and all the wood work badly burned. The loss to MT Shelton will be several hundred dollars There was no insurance, it having expired Octo- Der 1, 1904, and had not been renewed. MT Gibson and family lost all the fur niture in the room and lot of cloth ing. It is thought the cause of the fire was either from some defect in the chimney or else an overloaded stove.
