Saved Her Sight
Another Wonder Performed
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
by
" My little girl Hazel is now four years
old. Two years ag j she had the grip. Afte
recovery her eyes grew inflamed and sup
turated. For over 7 months she had to
have her eyes bandaged and stay in a dark
room. The family doctor and an oculist
did everything possible. She did not Im
prove and even grew worse. At last after
six months he gave us the discouraging
opinion that the cornea of one eye was de
stroyed And Sight Entirely Cone.
That it was doubtful if she would ever be
able to see any with the other, as the sight
was rapidly being destroyed in that also.

-Rev. J. C. Hogan, who has ended a
three years' pastorate at Forest City,

but expects to the Sunday following.
Mr. Hogan has been one of the most
faUhi'ul workers and highly-esteemed
pastors that the conference ever senv
to this charge, and the majority of his
parishioners regret that circumstances
rendered It necessary that he be trans
ferred. Mr. D'Alton is the guest of his daugh

A Po!ander went Into the store of
Max Heller, Tuesday evening, to buy
a cap. He owed Heller a bill of $3 be
fore anu the proprietor of the store
asked him for it. The Polander, whose
name strongly resembles the Inscrip
tions on the tombs of the Pharaohs, re
plied that he had no money and could
not pay. Thereupon the redoubtable
Max fell upon the countryman of Kos
suth and smote him sorely and applied
his shoe to the most ample part of his
customer's anatomy, as he drove hln.
from the store. Quite naturaiiy, the
Polish gentleman was incensed. He
swore out a . warrant before 'Squire
Maxey, and yesterday the trial came
off. The defendant elected to have a
Jury trial, and six good men and
true listened 'to the evidence and de
cided that Heller was not guilty, but
that each should pay half the costs.
It seems that the store proprietor had
not assuulted the Polander until the
latter had very much aggravated him
by taunting remarks concerning Mr.
Heller having been beaten in several
BUlts recently at Montrose.
