he had cxa nm-il my eyes, and as
certained the disease and applied his
remedies, I received immediate re
bel, and the restoration to sight was
speedy and sure, being at present al
most perfect, which is very remark
able, for the tact that six months ago
I sat in utter darkness.
I give the public the benefit of my
case sincerely hoping that some un
fortunate creature may be led out ol

Mrs. N. A. Monfort, ot Pittsburg
Kansas, found her way to our office
a few days since. Our readers who
have enjoyed the little poetic gems
she has sent us will feel an increased
interest when they know that for the
most of the past year she has been
entirely blind, and the sweet thoughts
that have come to us have often
been wrung from an aching heart
However, under the skillful treat
ment of Dr. Kimberhn, her sight is
returning, tor which we are truly
glad. Mrs. Monfort says that Pitts
burg, Kansas, is growing rapidly
with its 4,500 inhabitants. The
churches are prospering. The town
contains elegant stores, large bunks,
tour zinc smelters, two large flour
mills, besides many other industries.

like affliction, and to the physician
to whom I am indebted for the bless
ing ot sight, I most willingly make ;
the sacrifice.
About seven years ajro my eyes
were attacked with a peculiar dis
ease, which caused blindness for
about tViree weeks, but after a few
simple remedies had been applied,
the disease seemed to be subdued.
Such proved not to be the case. Sev

ceipt hereof bedalia paper, contain
ing the account and actions ot the
eloquent temperance lecturer, D. K.
Shields, in a saloon in Sedalia last
night, created quite an excitement,
Shields is Deputy G. W. C. T of
Missouri, and bas been engaged here
the past four weeks delivering tern
perance lectures There never was
such a temperance feeling worked
up here before. Through his efforts
1.500 persons signed the pledge and
organized good temperance lodges
with 350 members. A great many j
here had no confidence in Shields,
but thought he was only working for
the money there was in it. which was
$10 per lecture, and his conduct at PVtC OALki
Sedalia only strengthens this belief. CASS AND BATES COUNTY
