DOCT. SPELMAN would inform the cit.
II liens Of Portage County that he has returned ia
Bavenna, and fitted up rooms over Doctor Swifts Drue
Store for the practice of his profession where he will
be happy to wait on his old frieuds and many new
ones as will favor him with their patronage.
Doet. 8. has had more experience than any other
Dentist in this vicinity, and as much as any in
Northern Ohio. In addition to this, during his alb.
sence, he has come in contact with, and learned tho
manipulatons OF some of the most distinguished Dsp
fists IN the Union SO that he considors himself bette
qualified for tic practice OF his profession than if
had remained in Ratenha. Still, he learns wi
great satisfaction to himself that the work which
wearer, and some of it has stood the test of man
years.
There gold Filings in this county which he inser
ted than eight years ago. which, to all appearance
good as ifnserted but yeste ray. The same is
true of his artificial teeh aud he can refer the needy
to hundred persons, who think their artificial quite
as good as the natural organs.
Doct. s. prdes himself being one of the uery fep
successful manufacturers of incorruptiblc mineral
teeth in Ohio. And well he may, as this branch oi
the profession is, yet, little understood. though
taught In every Dental College in the Union, ena
bies him to restore t. the mouth its original shape and
contour, as well as mparing character and indivdu
ality to the teeth. =
Doct. s. is now permanently located in Rayenna
where he can be consulted oithout charge: and his
prices for work will be found as reasonable as that
any reputable Dentist in the country, but he will moi
he Influenced by horde of irresponsible self-styled
Dentists, who are ''wlppins the cat" from door to
door, some OF whom charge eNorbi ant prices for work
that is absolutely worthless, nay, positive INJURY to
the patient, while another class, who have sense O.
nough to know their inability, content with any
price which they obtain for their services, which

less hearts thought there was sufficient ground to
apprehend danger to our institutions, from the
presence Of FOREIGNERS IN the councils Of the ma

Is 1t any wonder, (says the Mobile News,) that
years after Jefferson should express himself as
well nigh wishing sea of fire lay between the
New and the Old World, when already, in 1899,
the following action was had in the Virginia Legs-
laturep We hear frequent reference to the reso-
Iutons Of '9S and '99. Should not the following,

by the same Legislature be also deserving of some
