It was hern that she came when struggling to get a foothold and after reverses it was here that she received valuable aid and encouragement. Her memoirs (which will probably be preserved for posthu mous publication, after all those who figure In it have gone to their final ac count) speak in most grateful terms of Mr. W. M. Wilson, proprietor of the Charlotte Drug Company, whom she describes as "the first man I ever ap proached to sell a bill of goods to." Ho j gave her some most valuable advice, I from which she .has ever after profited, and a short time later gave her a sub- stantlal order. She also refers with gratitude to the late Dr. J. H. McAden, who came to her relief at a time when, through the machinations of her part ner, her trademark was to be sold, and advanced money sufficient to tide her over the trouble and save it. She also mentions many times with deepest love her very dear friend, Mrs. H. C. E2-. eles. who has 'always sustained her in her difficulties with that rarest thing In! tno world -a true-womans sympathy. Her husband having died suddenly while she was on the road. Mrs. Per son finally settled down at the little vil lage of Kiftrell, N.

She Is probably known as well In this Mtate as Urs. Lydla E. Plnkham, but. unlike Mrs. Plnkham. so far as Is known this is the first time her picture has ever appeared m print.
