IA Enterprise to Boast Owe
take pleasure in calling attention to
the new advertising of Messrs. Grubbs
d DeatOn, because we are able to say
cmphatically that their business is
worthy of being advertised. We have
been shown a new wagon put up and
finished by them, which is fully the
equal, both in quslity and finish, of
the finest work heretofore imported
from Michigan. OF course they sold it
at once anS sold it for Cash. If these
gentlemen will continue to put SUCH
wagons on the market they might as
well prepare to enlarge their business
or much of it will be wanted, and the
importation OF wagons to this point
may be regarded as ended,

The Frost ard the Frut.-Last
Saturday morning at O'Clock the
mercury stood at 50. and the face Of
n, ture was covered with frost which
might have been gathered up like
snow. Ice was visible in many places
and the ground was frozen. Little
hope was at first entertained that the
peach crop had suffered less than tota-
obstruction, but at present the indica-
lions are otherwise. A large portion
ofthis fruit is yet alive, but it cannot
yet be told whether the injury may
not cause it to be shed prior to tie
season at which it should mature, OUT
opinion is that there will be quite a
fair peach crop.

This morning at half past one
o'clock Kane's building and the
dwelling west of it and owned by Mr..
Burson we're destroyed by fire. The
former was large two story framed
house with Ell and covered with tin.
The latter was an 1896 two story

from the ell to the main building. An
immense number Of people gathered
at the locality, and when Mr.. Timber

dental instruments, but saved his
dental engine. Mrs, Dallahite and
and Mr.. letters family saved their
property in the Burson building
Messrs. l. B. Dunn & Co., removed
their entire stock, first packing it
carefully, Col. Lynch acted with adj
mirable GOODNESS, organized aforce and
a guard, closed the front and carried
their goods to the rear. Some par
ties succeeded in breaking open the
front and carried some of the goods
to Mr.. Rohr's. Their damage is much
more then covered by insurance in
the Seaboard. Albemarle and City OF
Richmond. The citizens acted no.
bly,. were well organized or Dunn's
store would have gone. 1t caught
several times and was extinguished.
Mr.. Undertakes loss is not known

The INVhLO--A PEN PICTURE.

See her pallid countance, but a short

of the househOuld. She was always
welcomed by her schoOlmates. for her
1.-the form and pleasing disposition
carried cheerfulness into their ranks.
Dillgent, punctual and exemplary,
obedient and graceful at home, she
won the hearts of all. But, alas, we
are sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks and
ruddy lips are blanched by COnsump-
ton. The voice once so enchanting in
laugh and song is feeble, husky and
supplanted by hollow cough, Do not
shudder because of the feeble and
passionless grasp. The hand once SO
hearty and plump is em&ciated and
shows bony outlines, while the cords
and tortuous veins are PANTY mapped
upon the surface. Tho pulse that
bounded with repletion, carrying vigor
to the whole system, and imparting
life, beauty, vivacity, health and
strength. is delicate to the touch, The
feeble heart cannot propel the thin,
scantIy blood with force. Must we
lose her while yet in her teens? Com
paniOns and friends gather around
with words of cheer and consolation
and depart with monistened eyes and
silent steps. Must we lose her? No!
there is relief We can stay this des-
troyeT of our happiness and not suffer
the loss of so bright gem. Something
more is required now than dietry and
hygienic observance, for nature calls
for aid and she shall have it. Take
this pleasant medicine. tits invigorat-
ing. How tallays the irritable cough,
improves the appetite and digestion
and sends healthy Jingle through the
frame. The blood is enriched, nervous
force increased, and the heart bounds
with a new impulse. See her face
brighten by degrees; the color is re-
turning, her voice is getting clearer,
and pleasant words are spoken. The
strength lalters yet, but is gaining.
Let us take her out in the warm sun
shine. In short time she will be
able to go without our aid, cheerful
girl. This delightful medicine must
be God-blessed. 1t is restoring health
to our loved one. She is emerging
from her sickness sweeter and nobler
than before, and DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery must have the
credit. 1t has raised her.
