In many cases whero the wrong treatment lias been relied upon, complicated glandular swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that a dangerous surgical operation is necessary. Mr. H.E.Thompson, of Milledgoville, Ga., writes: "A bad caso of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my neck, which had to bo lanced and caused me much suffering. I was treated for a long while, but the physicians were un able to oure mo, and my condition was as bad as when I began thair treatment. Many blood remedies wore used , but without effect. Some one recommended S. S. S., and I began to improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles. Oontiauing the remedy, I was soon oured permanently. and have never had a sign of the disease to return."

Bladen and vicinity was visited Mon day ovoning with tho most severe storm ever experienced. About 0 p.m. it commenced to ram nnd tho clouds soon gathered und tho rain began to full in torrents. Hail also fell during the ontiro storm which lasted until uftcr 1) p. iii. About 8 o'clock it formed into u very heavy thunder storm and in a very few minutes four buildings in and adjoining the town were struck by lightning. Tho Congregational church was struck at tho steoplo and very badly damaged from top to bot tom. Tho loss is estimated at $300, fully insured. Next the public school building was served in a liko manner with about tho same amount of dam ago. Mr. Pashby's houso was struck but only slight damago resulted. At Mrs. N. Springer's the barn wus struck nudono horse killed. Tho heaviest loss was caused by the wind which formed into a cyclone live milos south of town. At Mr. James Locktiart's where the storm seems to havo done tho most damage, the sceno after tho storm was certainly distress ing. The houso was wiecked und tho barn and othor out buildings totally demolished, together with ull farm ma chinery and wagons nnd buggies, und an eye witness says there woh not enough good lumber left to build a pig pen. A part of the barn was nicked up by the wind and jammed through the nortb side of the house where the kitchen is located. A larce stove which was in tho house was found sit ting out in tho yard after the storm. and as yet only pieces of the farm ma chinery and buggies and wagons havo been found. At W. B. Cramer's tho dtoim racked his residence, tearing out part of tho north end and tho porches, and causing the houso to lean to the nortb. The barn and other out buildings wero totally destroyed. A wagon load of shelled corn which had been left standing in the feed vard was scattered promiscuously around and the wagon at laBt accounts had not been found. Nino bead of horses were in the barn when it went but all escaped Injury. Tho farm machinery, etc,, was also destroyed. The barn, out buildings and machinery on the old Rust proporty, now occupied by mto Dtibes were demolished, aad at the place of Jno. Zajio considerable damago is also reported. Along the path of tho storm trees are twisted and orchards and crops considerably damaged, and considerable small stock reported killed. Mr. Cramer, we understand, is the only one who had any tornado insur ance, and ho not enough to cover bis loss. Thoso who sustained damago by lightning wero insured with tho excep tion of Mrs. Springer. During the storm fully four incites of water fell. We are glad to state that tho storm did not reach over a very large area ouu mat no latauucs are reported m Oouncll Proceeding.

Tho following from Walt Mason's writings in the Sunday Stato Journal no doubt refors to Tommy Quinn ; "A man who looked to bo a hundred years old tottered up to a Boatrlco door nnd asked for a night's lodgings in tho barn, 'I want no monoy,' ho cried with great vehemence, 'I want no monoy or gifts; I only ask to Bleep In the barn; I have come a long way, and I am dead tired; I could sleep standing. I won't smoko and you needn't bo afraid of fire,' The old chap was miserably dressed, bontwith ago nnd want, and was a pit iful speotaclo in divers ways. Whon he had slept for a while ho told a story that was melancholy and surprising, and the greater part of it, at least, is known to be true. Twelve or thirteen years ago this forlorn vagrant was sup erintendent for a very wealthy Nebras kan who undertook large contracts; ho had dozens, sometimes hundreds of men under bis charge, and drew a largo salary, and lived up to it pretty closely, although he did buy two or three town lots and a farm not far from Red Cloud, Tho capitalists who em ployed him died, and ho seemed to havo struck tho tohaggan in had shape Ho is today homoloss nnd penniless andvory, vory old; and ho says that ho has been swindled out of his property by lawyers, nnd he is walking to Red Cloud to seo if the farm can be saved to him. This is a sad story of real lifo, and of course it has its moral: 'Salt down some dough when you are pros perous, for you know not when tho day of disaster comoth.' " Weather ol the State. Report of stato weather observer, A. G. Lovcland for the weok ending Juno 13th, 1890. The past weok has boon cool, with heavy local showers in tho eastern counties, and only vory light showers in tho western.

In most of the eastern third of the state tho rainfall of the weok exceeded half an inch, tho rain falling in show ers mostly on the 8th and 7th. I11 the western counties the rainfall was gon orally less than a quarter of an inch. The past week has been a most favor NirMHISIt 2!J nblo one for tho growth of crops in tho eastern half of tho state. In most of tho western half more rain would bo bonofioial, nnd in tho southwestern counties small grain has boon injured by tbodry weather. In the northeast ern counties small grain is in excellent condition nnd has grown well. Corn has grown well in all parts of tho stato. Tho dry wcathor in the wostsrn part of tho stato has not affect ed it unfavorably. Cultivation of corn has mado rapid progross in central and western counties, and the crop is free of woods.
