HACK, HACK! COUGH, COUGH.

Cough is a symptom by which various
diseased conditions of the throat, bronchial
tubes and lungs manifest themselves. But
it arises from the irritation produced in
the throat and larynx by taking cold from
an attack of Bronchitis, from incipient
Consumption,o from various other causes.
Nothing will allay it more speedily nor
cure it more permanently than Dr. Pierce 5
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t does not
matter whether it be a recent attack, or a
lingering cnugh, the Discovery Is in either
case equally well adapted for its relief and
permanent cure. In fact, it will cure a
cough in one-half the time necessary to
cure it with any other medicine, and ii
does it, not by drying it up, but by remov-
ing the cause, subduing the irritation, and
healing the affected parts, No time should
be lost in commencing the use of proper
medicine for the relief of Cough, for un-
less this course is pursued, serious and
dangerous disease of the lungs is liable tc

Notice..
I hereby withdraw my name from
the Republican alliance.
l.. DUPLEX.
fAduertisenent.1
ATCard.. y

For some time past, have maintained
political opinions not in accord with the
prevailing sentiment of those who have
hitherto been my political friends What
those opinions are, all who have convers.
ed with Inc know. They were honestly
my convictions; and l believe that fn-
tnre events will prove that my Judgment
was correct, and that tho. .snrest way to
practical reform at the p1sssnt juncture is
for all really Liberal men to give their
support to all persons, white or colore.l,
outside Or inside the Republican party,
who would join with them in q crusade
against corruption. In other words, that
the true feature of this campaign should
have been Reform, and not political o.
tracism. My convictions are strong, and
cannot be changed. leave it for tln
future to prove the wisdom Of my course.
My object in writing this card is to
announce publicly what have declared
privately-that shall throw no obstacle
in the way Of the success of the White
Mans party. / have no desire to enter
actively into the present Campaign,
against the sentiment Of my people. Ii
they win, l shall certainly not complain:
if they lose, tho fault shall in no part lie
mine.
My position a. McEnery Senator, to
which my friends attach importance, de-
mands this explanation from me. I
stand upon tue platform Of 1s72, ION
which l was elected, and shall at all times
be ready to do justice to all men with
out regard to color or race.
This is not withdr wal from the Re-
publican party, to which I have never
belonged. 1t is simply public statement
OF tho position l shall occupy in the
present campaign.
Respectfully,

Founded August !, A. D. 1921.

For more than half a century tho
Saturday Evening Post has been the
GREAT LITERARY WEEKLY
of the Country, and has ever borne .
widespread and unblcmisbetl reputation
for the unsurpassed purity, refinement
aud excellence of the Serials, Sketches
and Miscellaneous reading matter.
1t is prc-emincntly
The Best Family Paper
that is published in this country, from its
never containing anything that would
Offend tue feelings Of any one. either in
\ religious or political sense, or that
conll not be read at any tiresi.,. without
objection from the most flstidious.
The circulation Of the Saturday Even.
ing Post, through not quite " largo
perhaps, as its younger contemporaries,
is not, like that Of some of them, tluctu-
atins, aid too often short-livcd, but
SURE, SOLID AND SUBSTANTIAL.
basel upon the intrinsic merit of the ma.
per itself and not dependent on any ex-
traneous influences, such as the popalari-
ty Of individual writers, &c.
Good' however, as the Saturday Even.
ing Post has been in the past, it is our
intention to make it still better in the
future, and with this object in view We
will effect a marked improvement in eve
ry department of tho paper, and will
call to our assistance writers ofadmitted
ability and known reputation.
By increasing its former attractions,
and adding many judicious aud peas
ing novelties, by studying how to please
aud cultivate the popular taste, by in.
creas'ng industry and enterprise, aud BY
enlarged facilities, we hope to make new
friends with each and every issue, snd
continue to maintain the claim Of the
Saturday Evening Post to its title Of THE
OLDEST AND THE BEST OF Family Story

THH SINGER,
The Worlds Fayoritc.

THE SALES of the SINGER last year
was the greatest ever attained for
any Sewing Machine in year, aud was
nearly double the sales Of its highest
competitor, a. may be seen by reference
to the account Of sales for 1873, from
sworn returns made to the owners Of the
Sewing Machine Patents-fr0m which
statistics we select tho five leading ma
chimes, viz:
The Singer sold 232, 444
Is Wheeler 4 Wilson, ." 1890
" Domestic, e" 4O,l14
"IGrovet 4 Baker, :" %,l7e
Weed, 2l769
It will DO observed that tho difference
~ favor Of the SANGER, is tho en- rmous
amount of 1894 over the highest com-
petitor. This result has been obtained
after wears Of competition.
We submit to an interested public If it
is claiming too much to say the Singer
ia the most popular Sewing Machine in
the world. ... ,- ...gz.
