out for something more paaabc to eat, puts in the

consideration that the nights are cold enough to
sleep under doubled blanket, our times are not SO
bad. ~
Politics are unsettled as Wood County spell
of weather, therefore won't bother your readers
with a disquisiton thereon. The whole matter can
be summed up thus: The Rebs believe that their
State means U. s., aud that all laws should be
subseryient to their views to do as they please
with the negro and the North to pay all taxes.
Follow out this view and you will have loyal

Ayers Cathartic Pills.

Are the most perfect purgative which we are
able to produce, or which we think has ever yet
been made by anybody. Their effects have abun-
dantly shown to the community how much they
excel the ordinary medicines in use. They are
safe and pleasant to take, but powerful TO care.
Their penetrating properties stimulate the vital
activities Of the body, remove the obstruchons OF
its organs, purify the blood and expel disease.
They purge out the foul humors which broed and
grow distempcr, stimulate sluggish or disordcred
organs into their natural action, aud impnrt q
healthy tone, with strength, to the whole system.
Not only do they cure the everyday complaints OF
everybody, but also formidable aud dangerous dis
cases. While they produce powerful effects, they
are at the same time, in diminished doses, the
safest and best physic that can b. employed for
children Being sugIr-coatcd, they arc pleasant
to take and, being purely vegetable, are free from
any risk of harm Cures have been made whicl
surpass belief, were they not subsanacd by mer
of such exalted position and character as to iorbIt
the suspicion of untruth. Many eminent clergy
men and physicilus have lent their names To Ger
tiry to the public the reliability Of our remedies
vile others havc sent us the assurance Of their con
viction that our Preparations contribute immcnscl,
to the relief of our allictcd suffering fellow men

Massacre Of Erendmen.

The SOutheIW CtriStuia MicHigencer of
August 5, say, that if one tenth part of the
reports are true which are coming from all
parts of the South thicker and faster a most
shocking state of things exists From To-
caities where there are no National troops.
come reports that the freedmen are heng
hunted down like dogs aud dispatc' 'ed
without ceremony. The newspapers of the
South are filed with accounts of these
brutal murders, which swell to an aggregate
of seven hundred deaths per day, which is
doubtless a small portion of the number
noticed. An Alabama paper says this
business has became SO extensive and com
mon that some planters even boast that
they could manure their lands with the
dead carcasses of negroes. If negroes
can'be SHOT down daily ing garrsoned towns
where tho authorities are unable to stop
this state of things, it is very reasonable 70
suppose this brutal work is carried on more
extensively where the blacks have no pre-
lection. This wholesale murder of human
beings is, we lear, the practical work of the
conspiracy TO eXtermnate the eolured race
which is revoIting to the Christian age.

Save Your Military Clothes and Relies.
The following timely suggestions to returning
soldiers are made in communication from Pro-
fessor o. S. Fowler, and we take pleasure in com
mending them TO the attention of our returned he
roes in this county .
The associations of this war are peculiarly sa-
cred, A THOUSAND times, including Fourths OF
July, you are tl meet your c0mrades-n arms
when these ''soldiers clothes which you we're in
GEm battles win be yoAr most appropriate ap-
parel, They are also to become inexpressibly
precious relics 70 your children, aud your grand
children hundred years hence, Be persuaded
then, TO ap-they are too precious to wear out
-pants, vest, coat, oVercOat, undersliirt and
stockings, trophies AM camp utensils, including
any mementoes and relics of your military life !
The writer is inspired to IN Ike these suggestions
by the following facts Though, at collegiate grad
uation our class liked each other passably well
yet when, at our twentieth graduation anniversary,
we all reassembled for the first time in an all
nights supper, mt which recounted college in
cideuts and subsequent experiences, our old friend
ships revived with teniold yigor. Aud this was
redoubled at our trtieth anniversary
- This war for national life, like President lin
.colns Emancipation Proclamation, seems insignih-
cant now in comparison with the towering grandeur
it will assume, when its glorious effects will be-
come fully apparent on our oountry's prosperity at
home, and standing abroad. Then, soldiers and
citizens, save and enshriue these military relics.
