As your paper 10 the special me-
dunn for matters of interest to the
Patrons of Madison county, perhaps
it will interest that class of your
readers, if no others, to hear of a
Grange Fair and picnic at Waver-
ly Grange last Saturday, 18th INST.
The fair was the result of rsso-
lution adopted at . meeting Of this
Grange in the early spring, offering
. five dollar gold piece for the best
collection of vegetables shown by
any lady Of Waverly Grange, at the
regular meeting in June.
There were in all, seven entries
and the display was very creditable
indeed. It was sight which would
have made o vcgetarian's mouth
water. The names Of those who
entered vegetables as well can rec
Object, were, Mrs. Jas. Wales, Mrs.
Julius Vinson, Mrs. J. N. Vinson,
Miss Nora Mcbride, Miss Mary
Hickman, Mrs. w. p. Wallace and
Mrs. u. J. Nichols. The vegetables
shown wore beets, onions, Irish and
(newe sweet potatoes, roasting ears,
cabbage, colIarda, beans, a or S va
rietics), okra, squashes, cucumbers,
radishes, tomatoes and doubtless
others which do not now remem-
boz. Tho contest was very close,
in fact they could not decide and
finally agreed to have ballot,
which resulted in favor of Miss No
rs Mcbride.
The fine dinner was all that could
be desired. Everything passed of
very pleasantly. Everyone enjoy
cd themselves and the whole affair
was one which will doubtless be
remembered with much pleasure.

P. s. Since writing the above /
have seen the report of the COM
mittee appointed to act ~ judges
which is as follows:
I'VE the committee chosen to act
as judge of the vegetables to lie
displayed, would respectfully report
that while all the ladies acquitted
themselves with great credit, we
would in our opinion recommend
that the prize be awarded to Miss
Nora Mcbride As having made the
best display and the greatest vari-

The speech, followed by a negative
vote, would not have invited so
much unfavorable comment.
We ell know that, practically, Nissis.
sippi, along with the other revolted
States, has been treated as q conquered
province, and subjected to Congressional
surveillance, until, in the public mind,
there has grown up an idea that such in.
vestigations are all proper. especially in
view Of the enforcement act BY which
they are specially provided for. We do
not say such an idea is correct, but refer
10 these facts TO show that Senator Key
was not without the sanction of popular
opinion even in the vote that he gave,
This is the main ground upon
which We rested our argument. 1t
is high time for every man, North

idea and to rebuke those who pro-
mote it for base partisan purposes.

A Rare MedIcInaI CombIuatIon


Perhaps the rarest, certainly the most sue
c%essful, medicinal combination extant is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. In this OOm-
handing tonic, corrective and preventive, are
blended some Of the most actively ~inviRorat-
ing, Alternative and blood depurating elo-
ments In the. vegetable kingdom. These are
held 10 solution and powerfully aided by the
best diffusiYe stimulant known - old rye
whisky. Is 1t any wonder that easy diges-
ton, regular excavations, a natural Gov OF
bile, purity Of the blood, and cheeriulness Of
mind, should be- vigorously promoted by a
preparation In which such admirable ingre-
dents are most tremendously combined and
act in perfect union2 The faith felt by the
medical profession in the restorative efficacy
Of this medicine. and its power TO nullify the
influence Of malaria, Is expressed over the
signatures Of many eminent physicians, and
their expressions Of confidence are fully rati-
fed by the people and the press.
