Three bottles of it faithfully used, pro duced no visible effect, but one morn ing, soon after beginning the fourth bottle, to our surprise and delight, a new growth of hair appeared and so rapid and complete was the restoration that only one more bottle was needed.

Mr. Asa Amnions, a well-known citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was afflicted by a terrible ulcer. Medical skill seemed unavailing in stopping the ravages of the terrible disease. The leg was swollen and intensely painful, as the ulcer had eaten its way down to the very bone. All medicines and treatments having failed to effect a cure, the doctors said the leg must come off. Just when it seemed that Mr. Ammons would become a disabled and a crippled man, he tried P. P. P., Lippman s Great Remedy, and the re sult was wonderful. P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG. Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1895. Two years ago I had the worst ulcer on my leg I ever saw. It had eaten down to the bone, and my whole leg below my knee, and my loot was swollen and inflamed. The bone was swollen and painful, and discharged a' most offensive matter. My physicians said I had necrosis of the .bone, and my leg would have to come off. At this stage I commenced to take P. P. P. and to bathe my leg with hot castile soap suds. It began to improve at once and healed rapidly, and is to-day sound and useful leg, . "I think P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, is all a man could ask for as a blood purifier, as I have known it to cure so meterrible cases of blood poi soning in a remarkably short time. "ASA AMMONS. ' TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON. The bodv covered with sores two bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and permanent cure. This is only one of many thousand similar cases. Catarrh yields at once to P.P. P. That smothered feeling at night, that heavy feeling in the day can and should be removed ; P. P. P. will do it if yon only give it a chance. Indigestion and constipation go hand in hand. Headaches and total loss of appetite are the results. ' Regulate yourself and tone up your stomach with P. .sr. if. Sold by all drnrctet. pothecarl, Soto Prop'iv ock, Savannah, da. For Sale by R. B.

H. Moore, better known as "Bud" Moore, a well known contractor of this city, is this morning resting under two bonds one of $700; the other of $200. This fact and what led un to It furnished the principal excitement in mechanical Charlotte yesterday. It doesn't take one long to discover when there's anything wrong on the wharf. Yesterday it was an easy matter. Groups of mechanics, and artisans of various kinds were noted here and there in earn est conversation. The excitement was oc casioned by the discovery made about noon that Moore had, according to the laws of '87, been guilty of a misdemeanor in that he had failed to furnish an ite mized statement of sums due to laborers. mechanics and artisans before receiving the contract price; and that said Moore had skipped. , Fayetteville Observer: Mr. William Maxwell, of Cedar Creek, was in the city this morning, and reports a se vere hail storm in the Cedar Creek neigh- Dornooa about l o clock yesterday.

As noticed in our last issue, the Battle of Bethel was duly celebrated at Lakewood on the 10th. In addition to those mention ed as present, Messrs. J. D. Nott andJ. A. McPherson drove over from their homes , two or three miles away. Both these gentlemen, who had gone out as privates in one of our Cumberland com panies, became officers, the former as a Lieutenant in the 5th N. C. Cavalry and the latter as Captain in the 6th N. C. Troops. Whist and fishing delighted the old fellows when they were not discussing the appetizing viands that had been -provided, and war reminiscences, chiefly of an. amusing sort, occupied recounter and listener through the day. After the cere monious toast of The Day had been hon ored, the health of Major James H. Lane (afterwards the distinguished General, of Lee's army) who was so much beloved by our two Fayetteville companies, was drunk with a will, as was "also that of Col. J. B. Starr, the only field officer of the Bethel regiment .present, and that of Capt. J. B. Smith, who as a private in the same regiment was mentioned for gal lantry in Col. Hill's report of the battle. Charlotte Observer: Mr. T. L. Ritch went to his farm in Sugar Creek several days ago. His fine shepherd dog went with him. On their way back, Mr. RItch's horse was attacked by a mad dog. The shepherd dog, in turn attacked the mad dog. and they had a sharp battle. The shepherd was brave, but the mad dog bit him terribly. Parties who were pursuing the mad dog, came up, and killed the lat ter. Mr. Ritch, in turn, had to kill his dog. He valued him more than his horse he said. Mr. J. W. Wadsworth, while driving, on the farm Friday afternoon, got hurt by the horse running the buggy into a ravine, upsetting it and throwing Mr. Wadsworth out on his head. Mr. V. D. Shumard is foreman at the Shaw-Howell Harness Company's factory. He and family live on Ninth street, between Bre vard and Caldwell.

A sensation was created at Kelds- ville some time ago when it was reported that the re-election of Professor J. H. Svnnatt to the office of principal bf the graded schools had been deferred irt order that the school board might investigate certain charges brought against him.

The upward ten dency was resumed "today on the stock exchange, after a short lived selling movement to realize in continuation of Saturday's movement. The rise was in spite of the dullness and heaviness of Americans, along with all other securi ties on the London exchange. This ne- gleet was explained by the absence of traders to participate in the opening festi vities of Queen iVctorla's diamond jubilee. New York ignored the decline in London and proceeded to bid up prices soon after the opening. The warm, seasonable weather and its certain benefits to crops gave a fresh impetus to values in the granger group, which remained practically stationary all last week. At the top price Burlington showed an advance of 1, Omaha of 1 and Northwestern 1. Net gains were slightly below the highest in the grangers as In other stocks. The declaration of dividends on members of the Vanderbilt group had been discounted, as had been the passing of the dividend on the preferred stock of Cleveland, Cin cinnati, Chleago andt. Louis. The com mon stock of this company, after a slight opening decline, made an unaccountable advance of 2 per cent, in face of the dividend rumor and a first week statement showing a decrease in gross earnings of over $24,000. Reaction carried the price below Saturday's close. Continued strength in the stocks of iron and steel companies reflected the im proved outlook for business in that in dustry. Conspicuous strength was mani fested also by the Goulds, -Manhattan and Western Union each advancing over a point. The good buying of New Jersey Central also continued, resulting in mark ing up that stock 3 points, after an initial decline and some irregular fluctuations. Quite a feature of the trading was the number of fractional lots of stock that changed hands, indicating the outside pur chases made through commission houses. These sales of odd lots were well distri buted throughout the list. Sugar de veloped assured strength as the day pro gressed and showed a sharp gain on the day. Chicago Gas was active but irregu lar, ranging over 1 and closing with a net gain less than that. The total sale of stocks today were 249,513 shares, including American Sugar 23,000, Burington and Quincy 17,100, Chica go Gas 19,400, Manhattan Consolidated 6,000, New York Central 17,200, Northwest ern 5,000, Northern Pacific 5.000, Northern Pacific, preferred, 15,700, Rock Island 7.300, St. Paul 12,500, Western Union 9,700, New Jersey Central 17,200. Trading in bonds was on an enormous scale, the sales ag gregating almost 3,000,000. Decided gains were made in issues, with, St. Paul 7's scoring the extreme improvement of 3 per cent. The market developed considerable strength with purchases of the prominent mortgages being made for speculative and investment account with considerable con fidence. Government bonds also shared in the general strength that permeated the securities market. The new 4's, coupon, were quoted at 125, the best price noted in the present movement. Transactions were confined to a block of $25,000 at 125. Cotton Futures. , (Special to the Messenger.) New York, June 14. The .cotton market was extremely dull today. Liverpool de clined -64d and the opening here was slightly lower. The prevalence of good weather in the south discouraged buying, but there was no pressure to sell. Liver pool sent some buying orders here, but most of the business was local. August opened at 7.15, declined to 7.13 and closed at 7.13 to 7.14, with the tone of the market quiet and steady.
