The Season of Intermittents.

All miasmatic complaints, in other words, all
disorders generated by unwhoIesome hala-
tions from the earth or water are prevalent at
this season. In every section subject to the Wis
itation of fever and ague other forms of in
termittent disease, the causes which produce
these maladies are now actively at work. This
therefore, is a period of the year when the in
habitants of such districts should prepare their
systems to meet the unwholesome condition of
the atmosphere, by course of tonic and alter
atiye treatment. Foremost among the invigor-
ants recommended by time and experience, as
a means of fortifying the system against all en-
demic and epidemic maladies, stands Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. Whoever have travelled
in the West or South knows full well the es-
and restorative is held throughout those re-
gions. 1t is literally domestic staple in the
swampy and mephit1c localities which lie on
the borders of many of our large rivers and in
the neighborhood of our southern bayous and
lagoons. Now is the time when the inhaitants Is
of all malarious districts should put their sys-
| TENS and constitutions in good defensive trim
| by course of this powerful vegetable an tidote
| By this means the feeblest resident of an un-
| healthy soil may escape the sickness, which
without the aid of this potent ally of nature
| will be apt to overtaxe the strongest. Chills
and fever, bilious remittents, constipation
rheumation, dyspepsia and many other com.
plants frequently brought on by the capri
| ces of temperature and alterations of dry cold
and excessive moisture common in our climate
at the commencement of spring. Let all who
desire to avoid these distressing ailments tak(
! the Bitters as q safeguard.

Last Monday we were notified by Judge
Evans that number of citizens of Jack
son were requested to meet at the Pro
bate Office at four o'clock P NJ, to take
into consideration the destitute of our
town. Al the time of the meeting the
office was well filed with our best citi-
zens. The Mayor and majority of the
Village Council were in attendance.
Mayor Laird was called to the chair 1t
was stated that number of men had re-
Gently been thrown out of employment
at the furnaces, and there is likely to be
much suffering and want 1t was sug-
gested that the Village might improve
the streets, and thus give employment
but Mayor Laird stated that the Village
had already levied all the tax that the
Statutes of the State permit. 1t was sug-
gested that the Legislature pass a special
act authorizing the Village to levy more
taxes. When diligent inquiry was made
to know how many destitute there are
among US, and who they are, it was found
that in all that meeting, of prominent
citizens from every part of the Village,
only one woman could be named who is
in actual want, and she is from Parkers-
burg, West Virginia
A committee of five was appointed to
make inquiry for cases of destitution.
The chairman appointed the following
persons on said committee: J. NJ Watts,
Judge Evans, Benjamin Trago, Levi Dun
gan and A. c.. Van Dyke Any person
who needs aid, should make the fact
known to some one of this committee.
1t was suggested that each of the churches
in town appoint a committee, composed
in whole or in part of women, who might
make search for the destitute, and report
cases to any member of the above com.
mittee. We think the suggestion an
excellent one, and if properly carried ou
no one in our town need suffer
