A pig of J. E. Callis, some time last
summer got sick, and he thought it had
cholera, and for several days breathed
hard, but finally got better and com
menced to improve. He killed it a few
days ago, when he found a piece of sheet
iron about an inch at one end running
down to a jagged edge, which the hog
htd swallowed, no doubt while eating
slops. It had cut through within about
three inches of the mow when found.
The pig weighed 208 pounds.
Castoria is truly a marvelous thing for
children. Doctors prescribe it, medical
journals recommend it and more than a
million mothers are using it in place of
Paregoric, Bateman's Drops, so-called
soothing syrups and other narcotic and
stupefying remedies. Castoria is the
quickest thing to regulate the stomach
and boweis and give healthy sleep, the
world has ever seen. It is pleasant to
the taste and absolutely harmless. It re
lieves constipation, quiets pain, cures
diarrhcea and wind colic, allays feverish
ness, destroys worms, and prevents con
vulsions, soothes the child and gives its
refreshing and natural sleep. Castoria
is the children's panaca the mothers'
friend.
I have several desirable residences in
Oxford for sale. Also some dwelling

Racing: With Wrolves.
Many a thrilling tale has been told by
travelers of a race with wolves across the
frozen steppes cf Russia. Sometimes
only the picked bones of the hapless
traveler are found to tell the tale. In our
own country thousands are engaged in
a life and-death race against the wolf
Consumption. The best weapons with
which to fight the foe, is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This re
nowned remedy has cured myriads of
cases when all other medicines and doctors
had failed. It is the greatest blood
purifier and restorer of strength known
to the world. For all forms of scrofulous
affections (and consumption is one of
them), it is unequaled as a remedy.
The W heel of Time.
In "old times" it was the Granville
tobacco that sold best on the Richmond
market. History repeats itself and those
good old days have been reeled round
again by the wheel of time, and the
planters are falling into line and enjoy
ing the fruit of their labors. Flavor and
texture that are unsurpassed by no to
bacco grown on this continent. Davis &
Gregory Company ask for a share of your
patronage is it to your interest to sell in
Richmond ? Read the prices published
in the Ledger to-day and draw your own
conclusions. Its the manufacturer who
wants your tobacco. Come and see for
yourselves. We will serve you to the
best of our i bility.
Yours truly,
Davis & Gregory Company.

Because all diseases are
the result of fermentation
and decay, caused by living
microbes in the human
system, and whatever rem
edy will purify the blood
by removing the cause of
disease and build up the
health and strength of the
patient, is the one to use.
Kadam's Microbe Killer
is nature's remedy, and is
the greatest boon ever
given to mankind, hence the spurious imitations
which follow in the path of its wonderful cures
of Consumption, Catarrh. Debility, Indigestion,
Rheumatism, Bowel, Bladder, Skin and all other
diseases which, are quickly and permanently
cured by this never failing compound which has
done more for suffering humanity than all the
prescriptions of poisonous drugs, nostrums, so
called proprietary medicines, &c, all put to
gether, because it removes the cause of disease
and insures health. Thousands of voluntary cer
tificates of almost miracuious cures attest these
facts, and demonstrate to the world that Wm.
Radam, the Great Pioneer in his Wonderful Dis
covery, has gone far ahead of all other explores
in scientific fields, and has demonstrated beyond
a doubt that no disease can exist without a dis
ordered system, and his superb remedy stands at
the front because it is
THE ORIGINAL AND OLD RELIABLE
Microbe Killer a palatable remedy which cures
diseases by arresting decay and placing the sys
tem in a natural and healthy condition.
Investigate the merits of this wonderful health
giving discovery which hs stood the test and
cured thousands of all manner of disease; and be
ware of all other eo-called germ or microbe de
stroyers, which are often thus advertised to sell
their otherwise worthless mixtures, and which
are but imitators of this great wonder working
remedy.
