BE Guided by what You Know


There Is an old proverb which says, eek
perience is the safest guide" To this guide
the sick and ailing naturally turn when
casting about for the means Of. relief. They
inquire what medicine has done for others
before they adopt 1t themselves. or all the
remedies and preventives In use, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bittsrs meets the test most
triumphantly, and hence It's immense pop
ularity and vast sales. The sufferer from
indigestion is sure to find some one among
his friends who has been cured Of that all
ment by the famous vegetable stomachic.
The victim of fever and ague, liver COM
plant, constipation nervous prostratiOn,
or general debility, has only to make inquiry
in the neighborhood where he resides in
order to discover that this standard restora-
tive has effected in cases similar to his own.
In the published testimony to its merits he
will find q volume OF proofs of its sanitary
properties, which II Is impossible for his
common sense TO resist. He tries II, and the
effect 1t produces on his system adds an
other TO the host or witnesses In It's favor.
Thus, its reputation, founded on facts, not
assertions, continually grows and spreads.
Charlatans and imposters, some OF them
mere local tricksters, and others who take
a somewhat wider range, attempt to thrust
into the hands and down the threats OF in
valids, their haphazard connections, as sub
stitutes for the tonic which for so many
years has been a medicinal staple through
out the United States, Spanish America,
Canada, and the West indies, but only sue
coed to very limited extent. IN this
reasoning age, the people, having ascer-
tanned what Is really deserving OF their con-
fidence, decline drumming after strange
gods" - .,

burg. 1t is supposed that while the
New York stock train, bound west, was
passing over the Limestone bridge, east
of Wilsonburg, the sparks from its loco
motive set the bridge on fire, and when
the eastward bound freight train, loco
motive 70, was passing over it, it was
already so far weakened by the fire as
not to be stout enough to bear the
weight Of the eastern bound freight
train, consequently it gave way, pros
trating the whole train, and exposing 1t
to the ravages of the fearful flames
The locomotive is wreck, and most OF
the cars were consumed by the fire and
all their contents destroyed.
The engineer Of the locomotive "a
got glimpse Of tile fire just in time to
save himself by leap from his posi-
ton; but the fireman, Mr.. Shehan,
who was occupied in oiimg the ma
chinery, not observing the, fire and his
perilous position, and remaining at bis
post, went down with the locomotive,
which fell upon him, mangling and
killing him instantly. His remains
were taken up and decently buried near
the place Of the accident "

North Carolina, on eight articles OF I'M
parchment, was brought 10 close last
Wednesday. On the first article the
vote fell three short and on the second
article one short ora two-thirds vote,
and these charges were therefore not
sustained. On the remaining six ar
ticles the charges were fully sustained,
by more than the number Of votes
requisite to convict, and, in some in
stances, Republicans voted with the
Democratic majority After the final
vote was reached, and HOLDEN declared
guilty on six of the eight articles of I'M
parchment, an order was passed, by a
vote of sc to Is, removing him from
Office and declaring him disqualified
from holding any office OF honor or
