Convincing Proof.
In many instances it has been proven that
B. B. tf. (Botanic Bloc4 Balm), made by the
Biood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga., will cure blood
poison in its worse phases, even when all
ot&er treatment fails.
A. P. tfrunson, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I had
M running: ulcers on one leg and 6 on the other
and felt greatly prostrated. I believe I actu
ally swallowed a barrel of medicine in vain
efforts to cure the disease. With little hope I
Anally jjcted on the urgent advice of a friend
andgot a bottle of B. B. B. I experienced a
change, and my despondency was somewhat
dispelled. I kept using it until I had taken
sixteen bottles, and all the ulcers, rheuma
tism and allot lier horrors of blood poision
have disappeared and at last. I am sound and
well again, after an experience of twenty
years of torture."
Roto. Ward, Maxey, Ga., writes: "My dis
ease was pronounced a tertiary form of blood
poison. My face, head and shoulders were a
mass of corruption, and finally the disease
began eating my skull bones. My bones ached;
myfldneys were deranged, I lost flesh and
strength, and lite became a burden. All said
I roust surely die, but nevertheless, when I
m used ten bottles of B. B. B. I was pro
nounced well, Hundreds of scars can now be
en on me. I have now been well over twelve
oontns,"
To catch Dame Fortune's golden smile
Assiduous wait upon her,
And gather gear by every wile
That's justified by honor;
Not for to hide it in a hedge.
Not for a train attendant.

What They Caught.
A party of Market street mer
chant princes went over to Alligator
Creek on a fishing frolic this after
noon. They found the rice fields
flooded, the fish shy and the gnats
simply ferocious. They walked a
mile there and a mile back and
didn't have anything stronger than
ditch water to drink. They caught
well, they caught a few gnats o
the fly and a few fish nearly three
inches long.
First Moonlight Excursion
There was a grand time at the
Hummocks last night. The train
on the Seacoast R. R. which left
here at 7:30 carried down four
coacnes, an wen niieci. it was a
beautiful night, with a full moon
and a clear sky,and just cool enough
to make dancing enjoyable. There
was a gernian at the hotel on the
Hummocks and between the dancing
and rambles on the seashore the
time sped all too quickly. The train
returned to the city after midnight.
Rather Sudden Heath.
Mr. N. J. McDuffie, of Fork, S. C,
died this morning at the Sutton
House, about 10 o'clock, of pneumo
nia. He was a traveling salesman
for Mr. Sol. Bear and had been in
his employment about a year. He
was 27 years old. He was taken
sick only last Saturday with a hard
chill. His father and mother were
telegraphed for but when they ar
rived yesterday he did not know
either of them. His remains will be
taken to South Carolina this even
ing for interment there.
Another Ice Factory.
We understand that there is a
movement now on foot here to or
ganize an ice company and start
another ice factory. We are told
that one gentleman has said that he
will agree to furnish the machinery
himself and take stock in the new
company to that amount, provided
an amount of stock shall be s.ub
scribed and the money raised equal
in value to the cost of the machine
ry. The fact that the season isal-
readv well advanced is recognized
but notwithstanding this it is said
that an effort will be made to inaug.
urate the enterprise at once.
"From a Foreiern Shore."
The Passport is here at last. Sh e
arrived safety last evening, having
left New York a week ago last Sat
urday. It is evident that she has
not been treated very kindly by the
strangers among whom she has been
sojourning. She looks somewhat bat
tered and bruised but she will be
put through a course of thorough
renovation and will in a few days
look herself again.
She has always been a great fa
vorite here and many are looking
for ward eagerly to the pleasure of
treading her decks once more.
