Dear Sir-Having heard it reported that
the file at Hozier's store on Saturday last
was caused by Liquid Cas-" and think
ing it might perhaps cause some who
have never used the Gas to distrust 1t,
Chose who now use it will know betterO
we deem it proper to state that it Is en-
tirely untrue. We are the only authO-
rized agents OF the LIQUID GAS in the
State of Virginia, and that we have new
er sold Mr.. W. j. Hozier a'y of the Gas.
We make this statement in view OF the
fact that this is not the first effort that
has been made to palm or a spurious ar
ticle under u good name, and we hereby
warn all persons from trading III said
LIQUID GAS unless through us or our
numerous agents. JOHN POWERS,

Where is Drake $. T. X, 1902 We uave
heard this question ked many times,
and for ali we knew for year past he
might be dead. Recently in New York.
we called at his Laboratory in Liberty

barrioaded behind tremendous pile O
boxes. distributing funds to a Sunday
School Committee. Our business was to
secure an advertisement. He said My
dear sir, what Is the use of advertising
the Plantation Bitters? They sell better
now than when l advertised at such
enormous expense, ana now ! have not
made contract for year l have all
this amount to give to the poor. To sat

And so he ran ON In happy. cordial, ap-
preciative manner, showing us the wont
derS of his place and the cords of certid-
Gates. Every thing is on a magnificent
scale, and is done with neatness and
promptness. While there we saw at least
forty orders come In for these celebi ated
Bitters. Cases were being shipped to the
four corners of the world. Drake is not

THE SEA SERPENT, AGAIN.
the Ola story.

James Andrews. Jerseyman and fisher OF
porgies and the like in Newark bay, person OF
sound sense, good steady habits, not a. all
given to groe, and not possessed OF an unusual
share or imagination, has just had the privilege
of a sight OF the sea serpent. The following ia
his story as told by the Newark IN. J.)
Courier:
Mr.. Andfeys states that on Sunday afternoon
last, he was returning from Eliz 1bethpoft IN his
GOAT, a. small affair, capable Of carrying only
four or five persons, and after he bad passed
as he thInks, abont mile up the bay, his atten-
ton became at firtt attracted by an unusual COM
motion in the water about two hundred yards
in advance OF the boat. Curious as to. this un-
usual agitation, he rested upon his oars and
watched Tor few moments the spot, which
was strongly marked by the waves and foam,
when, to his great surprise and terror. the
head Of q monster, as large as -four barrel,
and having something Of che appearance Of q
dogs head, appeared above the water. 1t
stretched away along The surface, and black
scaly back lifted itself gradually from the
water nntl it appeared. according to Mr. An
dIews, twice the length of an ordinary schOOn-

common to the snake tribe. suddenly. : with a
tremendous splashing, it disappeared from
sight, leaving behlnd it a large area Of seeth-
Mr.. Andrews acknowledges himself TO have
been ''scared almost to death at the sight, and
aoo1t, came to the conclusion, 30 he says, that
he was to be eaten alive. Indeed, his pres

ever. by means Of a smalt paddle whica for

he undertook to row across the bay, but he
had proceeded but short distance whea q
terrible splasbing from behind caused HIM to
turn sround, and there, ashe solemly asserts
within dozen var Is OF him, was the head Of
the monster high up above the surface; and. to
add all the more ae , to his terror it opened is
rectly at him. To employ the language used
by Andrews himself ..'the next thing he knew,
he didn't know anythinR." meaning thereby
that his terror was so great he apparently lost
consc;ousness. That was the last he saw 81
