Triflets Aguin.-BriStol climate is
proverbial for its prolifcness. Not
long since We reported the birth OF
triplets in this town. On last Satur-
day night the wife Of an honest,
hard working man, in the western
suburbs of Bristol. presented him
with THREE fine boys, weighing in the
aggregate fifteen pounds. The gentle
man consoles himself that they are
not girls. We understand that there
are three gentlemen in town who. al
though they have been married for
years, cannot boast of a chick OF
child. yet are well to do in this world 5

OBITUARY.

On Monday the 18th, Mr.. r. d. GILLEs-
| PIE, Sr, of Jefzersonyilie Va, died at the
residence of Dir. J. L. Chapman. Ii We re-
member correctly his death has severed the
last Of tho prominent links whiehsgave
| legendary connection with the earnest
pioneers of the County Of TazewcI. Per
| haps there was no more thoroughly popular
man in the Clinch Valley. For during the
more than eighty years Of his residence in
that remarkable locality he either had no
enemies, or they had passed long before him
to the undiscovered country" leaving him
to spend his ripe and goodly age among a
people who without exception loved him.
His life eontradicts the trite assertion that
the worthy must be the victims Of enmity,
and that those who are active must encoun-
ter obloquy. For at least fifty years he was
an active participator in the affairs Of the
county. He bore prosperity without the
crime of indulgence; and met adversely like
a patient and faithful patriarch in the days
Of Israel. For several years he has been
very feeble and neither longing for life nor
fearing death he seemed to wait with sub
lime resignation for that further change
which is too full of sublimity and splendOr
to be revealed TO the senses of men. Why
he was detained after the departure of the
power both to achieve and to enjoy, lie seem
I'd not inclined to question. No one ques-
toned his piety or his fitness for heaven.
With a generosity characteristic Of him, Mr..
Chapman - took him to his own house" and
did everything in his power to make as
pleasant as possible his last hours in life
more generous and hospitable man has
seldom lived and one whose conscience
seemed more amendable to the laws of JUS
tice and charity, we have not known. What
shall be, or now is, the reward of his virtues
We shall not attempt to portray, but We in
cline to the opinion that it is such that if he
CT ul HAYES nitt oI.hout his toll of eighty
years, he would have been willing that this
world should have been ali desert and this
life all disappointment, that lie might win it
as he now has.

A Chanter of Facts.

Space is valuable III a newspaper, and il is
therefore proposed in this advertisement to
coudense variety of fIcts, important TO the
public, into small compass. Those facts
refer 10 Hostetter's Stomach Bi;ters-whst
that celebrated medicine is, and what it will
do. In tie frst place, ;hcn, the article is a
stimulant, tonic aud alternative, consisting OF
a combination OF an absolutely pure spiritu-
Gus agent with the most valuable medicinal
vegetable substances that Botanic research
Las placed at the disposal OF the chemist
and the physician. These ingredients are
compounded with great care, and in such
proportions as to produce a preparation
which invigorates without exciting the gene
raj system, and tones, regulates and controls
the stomach, the bowels, the liver, and the
minor secretive organs.
What this great restorative will do must
be gathered from what it has done. The case
OF dysp .psia, or any other form of indiges-
ton, in which it has been Persistently ad-
ministered without efiecting radical cure,
is yet to be heard from, and the same may
be said of bilious disorders, intermittent re-
yer, nervous affections, general debility,
constipation, sick headache, mental disabili-
ties to which the feeble are so subject. 1t
purifes all the fluids of the body, including
the blood, and the gentle stimulus which IL
impsrts to the nervous system is not succeed
ed by the slightest reaction. This 10 chap
ter of facts which readers, for their own
sakes, should mark and remember.
