Virginia and one equal to any other pub
iished in the United States. We wish him

able us to succeed we shall accomplish
our purpose. Already. if we may credit the

ments and are contemplating others. BY

to devote column to wit and humor and

found a column of agricultural matter calcu-
lated to interest all engaged in the noble en-

TT is a well-known fact that the South Is
i now almost tirely dependent upon the
North for it's hsbdomadal literature. 1t is to
be cen whether the Southern States cannot

parties undertaking this new enterprise are
determined to spare no effort or expense to pro-
duce u pape. which shall effect this purpose,
and deserve n share of the support of the read
ing public. Such paper, it is hoped, will
arouse the somewhat dormant literary condi-
ton of the South, develop its inactive talent,
and offer ut our own dsors vehicle for the
| expression of thought, interchange Of ideas,
aad the imparting of new items of information.
The FAMILY JOURAL will contain Originf |
Stories, Sketches of Travel, Biographical Es-
says, Summary of News, domestic and for
eign Reviews of Books, Drama tic and Musical
Criticisms, Reports Of Popular Lectures, and
such general in Information as will make it a
welcome guest in very family. The proprie-
tors are determined that their journal shall be

value of its contents, in its literary excellence

Compound Extract of SarSaparilIa,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal maady. 1t is com
bincd from the most active remcdials that have
been discovered for the cxpurgation Of this foul
disorder from the blood. and the rescue of the
system from ito destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from il, such as ERurTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsrrLAs, PIMPLgs, pUsTrLEs,

EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DFILrrY, and,
indeed, ALL CoMpLAINTs ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " in,pnrtty Of the blond" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration Of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and rcgenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

were found the figures, 1922, large, we'll

These figures were placed there seventy

After this mark was put on, tho bark
closed over it-sinking in and filling up thu

LEATnER-IIast week in the hasty propa-

this County, we omitted mentioning quite a
flourishing tanneIy establishment, situated at
Frostburg and owned by our enterprisng

Our neighbor of the Gazette alludes to it, and
would seem to intimate that it was gratu-
itous commission on our part, when nothing
was farther from our intentions. We regret
the omission, as orr article was imperfect

is great mistake Let lis remind all such
that what they find in books, and in the

Indeed, inquiry is often made by one farmer
Of another, how it is that he makes better

formation is gained his plan is adopted. Sc
that one man often gives direction to the
