Franklinton, N. O.
Dear Madam: It is with pleasure
that I write to tell you that your valua
b!e Remedy has entirely cured rue of a
most fearful looking and painful sore on
my ankle. It came more than twelve
months aj-o, very much like a ring worm.
I painted it with Tinct. Iodine, until it
became a very painful and bad looking
plate. Then I commenced to try every
thing I could think or hear of, until it
became so very painful I could scarcely
walk, when I went to the best doctor in
the country for advice. He told me
be could cure me if I would take my bed
and there remain for four or five weeks,
aid if I did not do so pretty soon, it
could not be cured at all, as the bone
would become diseased, and my foot
would have to be taken off. Just imag
ine how I felt, to be told there was no
cure for the sore but to lose my foot, or
gire up all business either of these Re
medies would have ruined me. Mind
jou this was the advice of one of the best
doctors in the State of North Carolina,
nd this conversation took place last
February. I continued to burn with
caustic, as he advised until September,
Vint- M-it?nl rr lionnfit frntn Vila i ritmpni.
I was advised then by a friend to try
your Remedy, (Bitters and "Wash) took
the first dose the 17th of September, and
I am now a well man, the sore is perfect-
ij cured, and l can now wai as iar,
uauce as much and jump as high as any
man jou know. Fut me back to the 1st
of September, let me know as much as 1
ww do of the virtue of your Remedy,
ad I would not hesitate to pay tea dol
lar a bottle for it, if I could not get it
fcr less. I think more of it than any
Medicine in the world. It is not only
best Remedy to purify the blood and
ore all skin diseases, but I believe it will
re all kinds of blood diseases, and I
ow it will cure a love for stronir drink.
I hope joa will have this published, as
there are many sufferers who could be
ped, if they could know c f and get your
kedy I am truly and respectfully,

arranged. They have not only an elegan
assortment of furniture and housekeeping
goods, but the toys and notions they

subject proposed.

Yesterday's Fire
It is now ascertained that Mr. Garrell's
loss at the fire yesterday atf'SansSouci,"
is considerably more than was at first
anticipated; but not as much as has been
stated by some. It will amount, in all;
to about $7,500, while the insurance was
about $5,000. These are the amended
figures, and are about as exact as they
can be made. The barn was a very
large one and was almost quite new. It
contained a large quantity ot straw and
about 1,500 bushels of rough rice, which
had recently been threshed out. It is
impossible to state how the fire occurred t
and Mr. Garrell is loth to-think that it
could have been incendiary.
Personal and Historical
Maj. Gen. H. G. Wright, Chief 0
Engineers U. S. army, and, after the
death of Gen. Sedgwick, at Spotsylvania
Court House, the commander of the
Sixth Army Corps, during the war, was
expected t arrive here last night, on a
tour of inspection to the .works at tne
mouth of the river. He did not, how
ever, arrive, and it is not now definitely
known at what time he will be here.
Gen. Wright's corps, the Sixth, it will
be remembered, held thelS&d line in the
Federal army at the battle of Cedar
Creek, and it was those troops that first
offered any forceful resistance to the
Confederate troops on that day, the two
other lines of battle, composed respect
ively of the 18th and the 19th corps,
having been driven back likerclouds by
an angry wind, before the impetuous
onslaught of the Confederates under Gen.
Early.
General Manning, of this city, was
Chief Quartermaster on Gen.-Wright'i
staff during a large portion of the war,
and it was through, him that we learned

taken one carpenter's brace and evera
other articles of value belonging to the
Cemetery company. The entrance was
made by prying up a window and the
desk was opened by breaking the lock
with a stove iron. The loss to Mr, Don
lan will amount to about $30, and that o
the Cemetery Company to about $15.
