THE Mayor and Council sbould on

The Mayor and Council should on
no account repeal Ordinance No. SO.
Let it by all means stand. The poor
people who own cows are not alone in
their poverty some who do not own
them are just as poor. Besides, those
who take the assets of stockholding
should be held to accept the liabilities
also.
BUsINEss.-Our coal shipments are
rapidly assuming their wonted activity
and our miners are busily at work
doing all they can under the present
transportation facilities. The trouble
heretofore existing between the boat
men and the canal company has been
adjusted satisfactorily to all parties
concerned by the company, which en-
courages us to the belief that next
week will open upon us with our
mines working to their fullest capaci-
ty. The miners appear to be quite
cheerful and contented, with the kind
eat Of feeling existing between them
and their employers.
With breadstuf and other prime
necessaries on marked decline, and
our mines working to their utmost
capacity, for the remainder of the
season, will leave our people in very
healthy and prosperous condition for
the coming winter.

VI GIIIS SGdSOH.
The reduction has been made solely
with tho view to enable shippers to
pay uniform rate of freight to boat
men of ninety cents to Georgetown
and ninetyfve cents to Alexandria.
This rate, we believe, if maintained
will prevent any further trouble this
season. If it should be found that
this reduction does not have the effect
to secure and maintain uniform rates,
the company will be compelled to re-
establish the old rates,
shall be glad to learn that this ar
rangement meets your approval, and
that you will instruct your agent at
Cumberland to see that these rates be
maintained. Respectfully,
A. P. GoEMAN,
President.

A Gard for Rational Readers.

Irrational people always reject good ad-
vice, and in nothing is their folly more fire..
quently conspicuous than in ignoring pre-
cautions necessary for the retention of health.
Forecast on the other hand, is q notable
characteristic Of the rational, and it is the
exercise of this quality which we would sug-
gest to them. Protect the system against
diseases which fasten upon the debilitated,
the nervous and the dyspeptic, by bracing
the physique, regulating the stomach, bowels
and liver, and banishing dependency with
the purest and most efficient Of botanic in
MIGRANTS, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. That
these effects follow its use, and that 1t pre-
vents as well AS annihilates intermittent aud
remittent fevers, are facts established by in
disputable evidence. To enjoy the twin bes-
sings of "a sound mind and q sound body"
in all their plentitude, try course of this
sterling medicine.
