500 Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being con-
stitutional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have SO much faith in
its curative powers that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

at o'clock, at the home of Capt. and Mrs
Andrew McGilvery Ross on Main street, when
their second daughter Miss Martha Jane, was
united in marriage with Mr.. Robert Porter

Nichols The rooms were beautifully deco
rated, the hall in laurel and ported plants; the
drawing room, where the ceremony was per-
formed, in yellow, green and white, and the
dining in pink and white. The bridal
party stood under a white marriage bell of
ch1ysanthemums, and trimmed with smiax,
against a background of japanese cematis.
studded with white chrysanthemums. Men
delssohn's wedding march was played by Miss
Mildred E. Shute, and the bridal party entered
by ribboned aisle formed by four ribbon
bearers, gowned in dainty white muslin. The
best man, Mr.. Sydney Monk, of Cambridge,
Mass, and the groom, entered by one door, and
the ribbon bearers, the matron of honor, and
the bride and her father, who gave her away,
by another door, proceeding down the aisle to
the corner where the ceremony was performed.
The. double ring service was used by Rev.
Robert G. Harbutt of Buxton, former pastor of
the first Congl church here, in the presence of
about forty. guests. The bride was very lovely
in gown of Lima lace over white satin. The
lace was bought in Peru by her maternal
grandfather, Capt. Benz amin S. Merrithew, in
1868. She wore white tulle veil, and carried
huge bouquet of lilies of the valley. The
ribbon bearers were Miss Lois Carver of

1t is said tina, Washington selected the place
where his body now lies and left instructions
that one day the change OF sepulcher should be
