While speaking Of elections, we will remind
the various candidates for ofiice that theirs will
come oil in the course Of time, and an example
is now set before you Of Go thou and do like
wise" in the way Of letting people know you are
a candidate, by advertising. When candidate
announces himself through the papers, people
form more favorable opinion of him. and conse-
quently are more apt to vote for him. Come,
we don't knew who you are until you bring a
"N'' up and tell us You are a candidate.

NOR. Well, they may be, for with the
exception Of HOLLOWAY :, all the meth
DDS Of treating these forms of disease
are wholly superficial. But he refers
them, primarily, to a viliated condition
of The blood, and attacks the poison
thrown into the circulation by the secre-
tive organs, at its fountain head, the
StomGch and Hccr. While the Pills are
acting upon these organs and upon the
fluids they eliminate, he applies the ONT
ment TO the outlets Of disease on the sur
face, and strikes at the external iniiam-
nation and decomposition through the
pores. Thus the ulcer, sore, abccsS, tu-
NOR or cancer is subjected to a double
assault from within and without. To use
military phrase it is completely inves-
ted its supply Of poison from the inte-
rior is cut off, and The virus already cir
culating in the exterior vessels is neu-
tralized. This being done, the morbid
action ceases, and the cure is safely and
radically accomplished. The philosophy
upon which his practice is based is sound !;
its results always Salutary.

ST. VALENTINES, DAY.

The Z. VI. remarked to us Monday
morning, that he had never seen so few
Valentines in the office as were put in
this year. This is somewhat strange
but may be accounted for by the young
folks not knowing there were any in town.
In olden times, there was notion that
on this day birds began to couple

but think that he Ctwas a hey wanted to
see it printed, from note enclosed. He
said it was bis first attempt, and We might

is no need of argument to convince US
that it was his first attempt, and we add
may it be his last.

NEWER AND BETTER PHILOSOPHY.


We honor the man who is not afraid

which the world for centuries has tacltly
acqllicsoed, and is bold enough to adj

theory which the slaves of precedent may
choose to call heresy. Such man is

INDEPENDENT,

The Sunny South, very large and per conse-
queacc widely circulated aud influential paper,
in its last issue says: "The Sunny South is an
independent press" That's right, we like indc-
pendent folks, but do not know exactly ho,c to
take this declaration from the Sunny, though we
hope that it means what it says, and if Sag Nicht
influence is to be thrown off, we congratulate it
on the conviction OF error The recent Kansas
meeting, with its several Accomplishments Of ram
pant speeches, resolutions, &c., may have SO
enthused the usually Democratic spirit of the
South as TO make it mindful of its allegiance. II
this is the case, we hope soon to see 1t cavortin
on the old stamping ground. Example exerts a
great influence over the conducting of newspa.
pers. as well as ever the destinies Of men, and il
the Sunny is inclined to profit by advice and ex
perience and mend its ways, we wish it success.
