Mothers,

Castoria is the result Of 20 years experiments,
by DR.. Samuel Pitcher. of Massachusetts. 1t is
!. vegetable preparation as effective AS Castor
oil, but perfectly pleasant to the taste. 1t can
be taken by the youngest infant, and give neither
gags nor gripes. DR.. A. J. Green, Of Royston.
Ind, says OF it:
SIRs:-I have tried the Castoria and can sneak
highly Of its merits. 1t Will, l think, do away
entirely with Castor OIL; il is pleasant and harm
aperient and laxative. 1t is the very thing.
The Casteris destroys worms, regulates the
Stomach, cures Wind Collie, and permits of ma
tural. healthy sleep. 1t Is very eficaoious in
Group, and for Teething Children. Honey il
not pleasauter to the taste, and Castor Oil is no
so certain in its effects. 1t costs hut d cent?

June, proved to be such a complete success, and
was 80 truly enjoyable in every way to those who
were present and took part in it, that the ladies
Of line Baptist church have determined to have
another one at the same place the Thursday eve
ming before Christmas. We hear already that
quite u large number of our young people are
selecting and making arrangements for their

Thanksgiving services were held In the

by Rev. Mr.. Williams, was a nne one, and
was closely listened to by q large audience.
The singing by the choir was excellent, and
was worthy Of more notice than we can give
it. 1he furnaces were out of order, and
the church was uncomfortably cold, but the
audience patiently listened till the close.

There was an alarm list Thursday after
noon caused by fire breaking out in Chan
slor's livery stable or Laurel street. This
fire originated from a defective fue in the
city marshals office adjoining the stable, and
burned the ends of the joists considerably
before it was discovered. Immediately
above these joists there was ten feet of straw
and hay extending from that point one hun
bred feet back. If the fire had gotten
through the few intervening Inches to this
nass of lnflamable material the stable and
adjacent buildings would certainly have
been destroyed. 1t was fortunate, therefore,
that it occurred when it could be observed
and extinguisied with a few buckets full OF
water. We warn the people of Lexington
to take every precaution against fire. as the
city ia at its mercy should 1t once get under
Roadway, there being no bucket, or hook
and ladder company, the engine company
being disorganiz-d and the engines hors de
c0mbdt.
