SOUTHERN TONIC-This preparation is offered
- to the public with feelings of decacy, for in this
age of quackery the proprietors are well assured it
is harrassed by enormous catalogue OF stufs for
the cure Of all maadies The inventors of this val
liable medicine, from long residence at the South,
and from the nature of their vocation, have come
Immediately in contact with all the diseases incident
to that climate and have been asonished al finding
so great proportion of nvalids suffering from fever
and ague Having witnessed the want Of success in
the practice of the most skiful physicians, and the
entire failure of the best prescriptions put up by
themselves, they were induced to try the Southern
Tonic, preparation which had long before suggested
itself to them, and were grated beyond their most
sanguine hopes by its virtues.
This will be found valuable Alternative, as well as
tonic in most cases of general debility or weakness
and in cases Of torpid and inactive state Of the d
gestiye functions, this medicine will regulate the
bowels give tone to the stomach, and increase the
Appetite and leave the patient in comfortable state
Of health. COSTER g. COKE,

CLAY GLUE.

Are we or are we not to have Clay Club !!
This is an important question, and we sincerely
trust it will receive the immediate and serious
consideration of the Wings of Parkersburg. Your
friends at the different precincts Of the county
are waiting for you to move in this matter.
They see the importance Of organizing club,
and will heartily cooperate with you in forming
one, as soon as you manifest any desire to do SO.
Will you not, then, right speedily, set to work
and crafty their wishes! We are well aware
that you can accomplish as much in little time
as any other set of people in the country, but
you must recollect you are late now, there are
at least fifty Clay Clubs in full operation in the
State at this time. We shall not cease to i'm
perfume you until we have a Clay Club among u.s.
The above is from the Parkersburg way Ga
zette 1t is plain that the good citizens of Par
kersburg will not be long without Club. Fifty
Clay Clubs in the Old Dominion, and all in full
blast! Virginia has about million inhabitants,
all told Washington city has nearly thirty thou
sand which, in the same ratio, would entitle her
to more than one Clay Club but we have at pre-
sent none. We must have one; those who have
no votes should make all the better use Of their
voice.

TUESDAY EVENING, NOV. Z, 1913.
THE PROVIDENCE OF GOD.

Of all the cants in this canting world, says
Sterne, the cant of hypocrisy is the worst. OF
this truth, we are every now and then forcibly
reminded, by seeing the efforts and riulnphs OF
the Wings in the last campaign ruthlessly as
sailed, and the subsequent death OF General
Harrison proclaimed as Judgment from God"
We are well aware that those who are wicked
enough to spread abroad this blasphemous SLAM
der are too shameless to be sensible to any re-
buke that we could administer; but there are
others who believe it, to whom we would address
few words. Believe it! we fancy some will
exclaim-d does any body believe it +? Doubtless.
What error is too wild, what deusion too mon
strous for credence in country where Milerism,
Mormonisn, and every other form Of tanaticism
thrives and grows sleek.
It is not our intention to write homily, or to
say simply, what indeed might be sufficient, that
death is an incident common to human nature
that the Grim Messenger knocks alike at the
White House and the log cabin. Adverting to
the decease Of General Harrison, was there any
thing sudden and mysterious in it? Was he
struck dumb in the midst Of his inaugural speech,
or as he took the oath Of office-did he fall dead
as he crossed the threshold of the White House !?
Was he found corpse upon his couch in the
morning, after having retired well to it on the
preceding night finally, was there any thing
awful in his death, excepting the national calam-
ity? Nothing Of all this-but he died, after a
short and painful sickness, surrounded by friends,
and, with his last words, blessing his country.
One is at loss to conceive by what ingenuity
anything supernatural can be conjured up out Of
such an everyday occurrence but the cant of
hypocrisy has done it, and not without effect.
The immediate Affection which led to General
Harrison's death was pronounced by his attend
ant physicians to be pneumonia the remote
cause was undoubtedly the excitement conse-
quent upon the sudden change from long retire
ment to the highest station in public life, wherein
he overtasked his energies, allowing them no re-
Taxation but forgetting, in his zeal for his coun
try, all care for himself
Those who believe in the special interposition
of Providence in temporal affairs are generally
supposed to occupy high religious ground. If,
among such, there be any disposed to make a
particular application Of heir belief to the death
Of the lamented Harrison, we would commend
to them portion of that charity so admirably
set forth in Popes Universal Prayer, especially
the following verse:
ssLet not this weak unknowing hand
Presume thy bolts to throw,
To deal damnation round the land
On each Judge thy foe."
