 of Bessemer.
By J. F. LEE.

Bessemer October 0-fspeeial )-The leap year Halloween german given at Beavers hall tonight by the ladies to the gentlemen was the smartest func- tion that has been given in Bessemer in a long while.
 The hall was artistically decorated in Halloween colors and in one corner hanging from a tripod, was large ket- tie, decorated so as to represent 2, pump kin from which little Miss Madge Mimms dressed in the guise of a ghost, served the most refreshing punch.
 Miss Florrie Little and MT Robert Me Adams led the german which was replete with new and novel figures, gracefully carried through without the confusion that usually arises when leading so large a number as participated.
 The favors were unique and added much to the pleasure of the occasion. The ladies were favored with Japanese parasols, and tallyho ribbons, and the gentlemen with chrysanthemums and min iature tennis rackets and balls. The tally-ho figure and the miniature ten his rackets figure were especially unique, the first presenting a beautiful spectacle with the five long streamers of ribpon joining the dancing couple and in the second a gentleman would bunt the ten his ball with his racket to the lady he wished to favor.
 It was a bal-poudre affair.
 The following attended; Miss Eloise Robinson, Miss Florrie Little, Miss Nola Medium, Miss Ethel Adams Miss Kath- erine Adams, Miss Lucia Brunns, Miss Mable Carniff, Miss Kathleen Carniff. Miss Annie O'Brien, Miss Hazel Marsh, Miss Sudie Crook, Miss Gladys Huffman, Miss May Adams, Miss Alberta Wiley, Miss Mathews, Miss Graham, Miss Maude Mimms, Miss Mary Tinklepaugh, Miss Grace Judson, rs.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription con tains no alcohol, and no narcotics or other harmful or habit forming drugs, as will be seen from it's published in gradients. It contains only such native, medicinal roots as are most highly rec commended by leading medical writers and practitioners of all the several schools of practice, for the cure of wom- ans delicate md peculiar ailments. It is safe for women to take sn any con- ditton of the system, as it assists Nature in restoring the healthful action of all the organs distinctly feminine.
 Natures own cure. In fact, cFa- vorite Prescription is Natures own cure for the many Arrangements and weaknesses peculiar to women. It is advised for no other diseases.
 If you are a weak, tired, nervous, over-worked, broken-down, pain-racked woman, either young, old or middle aged, suffering from frequent headaches, backaches, dizziness or fainting spells, gnawing or distressed feeling in stomach, perhaps see imaginary specks, or dark spots floating before the eyes, have dragging-down or heavy feeling in lower abdomen, or pelvic region, with, per haps, pelvic catarrh, or other symptome of functional or organic affections of the distinctly feminine organs, then you will make no mistake if you resort to the use of Dr. Pierce Favorita Prescription. The most advanced medical science knows no better agents for the cure of all such diseases than are happily and tremendously combined in this widely famed Prescription of Dr. Pierce.
 You can't afford to accept any secret nostrum of unknown composition and of questionable merit as a substitute for this professionally endorsed and time- tested remedy OF KNOWN COMPOSITION, iimply that some unprincipled dealer may make little larger profit. Don't expect it to perform miracles but give it fair, persevering trial and it is not likely to disappoint you. It wont dis solve tumors "-no medicine Will. II will cure larger percentage of all cur. able ailments which especially afflict womankind than any other medicine sold by druggists for tat purpose.
 As to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery it has a very large range o application, yet it is by no means rec commended as rCure-All." It pos sesses marvellous alternative, or blood cleansing, properties and is at the same time most invigorating tonic, ol strength giver. It exerts a specific cleansing, soothing and healing effec upon all the knin9 mucous membranes of the system; hence, it's great curative value in all catarrhal affections, nt matter where located.
