<*WK LIVE AND PERMIT OTHERS TO EXIST*” ♦ Dextkk, Texas, March 1©, ISSu. Blood Balm Co.: It is a great pleasure to ns to state to you that yaw r B. B. B. takes the lead of at* blood purifiers in this country, on Account of the cures it has effected since we have handled it. We had a case of scrofula in our neighborhood, of long standing, who had i)sed all patent medicines which were recommended to him; besides this, he also had several doctors attending to him, but everything failed to “effect any good. He grew worse every day, and had not left his bed for the last *ix months. We had seen him several times in our little $own, though it has been ! more than fifteen month since we last saw him, and we suppose this was the last time he was able to come to town, as he lives about eight miles in the country. His name is Servenka, and we got a neighbor of his to persuade him to try B. B. B. and after using only one bottle he left his bed for the first time in six months. To the present time he has used less than j three bottles, and he is walking around visit- j , lug his friends in the neighborhood. He has j gained strength aad flesh rapidly. Alt scrofulous sores are healing finely, and yon never saw a happier man than he is. Nearly everyImkIy for miles around has heard of this wonderful cure, and all who need a blood remedy call for the R. B. B. We lmd a case of nasal catarrh In our own family (a little girl of four years old), who has iieen using B. B. B. for about two weeks, and already seems to be about well. We have only three bottles left, and want you to ship us six dozen bottles. We take pleasure in recommending R. B. B. as a medicine worthy of the entire confidence of the public. Its action is more rapid than any blood remedy we eveV handled. L1KDTKB BROS. For sale by Frank «fc Hornbrook, druggists, Petersburg, IivJ. THE NEWS. OIK TOWS, 00USTY AS'D YltTSITY REPORTED IS BRIEF.

AMUSEMENT NOTES. Miss Hattie Loweiftlial, the elocutionist, will probably read here during the holidays. Green's new opera house at Vincennes, was advertised to open last night (16th) with the “White Slave.” Our skating rink “has failed to materialize.'* The manager could not get a hall suitable for a rink. Mr. Schaefer declines to rent his hall for that purpose. It looks like Petersburg will not skate on rollers this winter. The entertainment which was to have been given by the pupils of the High School during the holidays has been postponed to a more convenient date, and will take place some time next month. Such a class of amusements as we have enjoyed this week ought not to fail in pleasingevery oue. There was instruction, pleasure, tone and remm-/ ment combiued. and such that merited the patronage of all. C. II. Miller, manager of the Davis Family Combination, was in town Friday advertising his company for its appearance at Schaefer’s Hall, the loth aud 16th. The company play at

YV ashmgtou to-night. The Davis Musical Combination gave two superb performances this week at Schaefer's ilall—Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. It is a com.panv of thorough vocalists, and every number upon the programme was ; well received and often the perform- | ers were recalled. Eli Perkins’ leeturfe.on “The Philosophy of Fun,” Monday night, drew a large, intelligent anil appreciative audience. The lecture wasenjoyable, and while Mr. Perkins gave us some “chestnuts” to crack, his remarks bristled with points that brought I laughter and applause. His style is original, his philosophy good, and his knowledge of human nature excellent. County Auditor Bcthell has made the best showing, in regard to the collection of interest on school iund loans of any Auditor Pike county has ever had. lie has not only collected enough to pay the interest due from this county, hut has turned over into the treasury considerable surplus.—[Press. Our neighbor seems to forget, or overlook the fact in this instance that we have a Board of Commissioners. That the Press might boom our friend^ Auditor Bethel], who is a clever and genial gentleman withal, the paper does not give the commissioners credit for the action they took at the June term, 1885. regarding the school fund loan. At that session they ordered the A uditor to comply strictly tcith the section of the hue (4383) relating to interest unpaid. Mr. Bcthell followed the order of the Democratic Board (which always has an eye single to the welfare of the county); and on the 25th of June, issued a circular with the following preface: “Notice is hereby given that at the June term of the Commissioners Court the Board directed the Auditor of Pike county to comply strictly with the following section of the law in regard to the school fund loan.” (Then followed the section.) Below the law quoted, the Auditor continued in this circular, as follows: “Therefore, if you owe airy interest on your loaus you will be expected to settle at once and save yourself trouble and cost, and me a very disagreeable duty.” [Signed] ¥. J. Bkthrll.” So you can readily observe the good results of the commissioners’ order, and that, as the Press says, the Auditor “has not only collected enough to pay the interest due from this county, but has turned over into the treasury considerable surplus.” M every one purchasing goods of us to the amount of $1.00 receives a ticket entitling them to a chance to secure one of the following valuable presents: 1 Ladies’ Gold W atch. $25 00 t Silver Water Set. :. . 20 00 l Gent’s Rockford Silver Watch . 15 00 1 tkday Visible Escapement Clock_ 12 00 I Toilet Set ... 10 00 1 Silver-Plated Castor.... 7 00 1 Butter l>ish. 5 00 1 Plush Clock.. 3 00 1 Set Rogers A Bro.’s Tea Spoons. 2 00 1 Silver Cup (gold lined). 1 00 K.
