INTERMITTENT NEVER is so common IN
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatie
exhalatiops, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured. the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grirdstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that we'll known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERs.

OF improving our architecture and there is
plenty of room for further improvement
No man should build without employing
some competent architect to make his
plans. The very best investment any man
who intends building, either in town or
country, can make is in first procuring
careful plans, specifications and estimates
of the work, thus getting a more tasty,
durable and useful building for less money
than to set some barn-jolner to do his
planning.

THE PnGN1x To-NIGHT. Tonight Milton
Mobiles and his comedy company will COM
mence brief engagement at the Theatre
and present the typical drama The Phoenix.
It is represented to be -clevery-deylsed
plot, which claims the attention OF the audi
tor from the opening scene, while its skill
ful development does not overstep the
bounds Of probability. The language OF
the play is said to be crisp, sparkling,
characteristic, and correct in construction.
There are situations that work an audience
to enthusiasm, andyet they are exactly such
occurrences as transpire in New York daily;
and the plot and motive Of the play is never
for moment lost sight OF. The persons in
the drama are representative types Of Amer
lean character, and each one has purpose
in the action and development OF the plot.

mian must 90 on the record as q creation.

The Legislative CanuaSs.-It is but just
to Messrs. Atkisson and Lynch, the regular
nominees Of the Conservative party for the
Legislature to say that while they are will
ing to do anything for the harmony Of the
party, they do not feel called upon to resign
the nominations rendered them by the regu-.
larly constituted Conservative Convention
until otherwise declared. They Solicit the
votes OF all true Conservatives.
/ At the called Conservative meeting to-day
held at the old courthouse only about six
or eight.voters met, though there was notice
given and printed circulars issued. Nine
tenths OF the voters OF Chesterfield seem to
have lost all interest in politics, yet after
the elections there will be much grumbIing

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR OUR MILITARY
COMPETITIVE DRILL AT THE SOUTH CAROLINA
STATE FAIR-South Carolina, like Virginia,
in order to promote the efficiency OF the
volunteer militia and to create a generous
spirit OF rivalry among them, is to have q
competitive drill during the State Fair,
which begins at Columbia on the 18th OF
November. The rules and regulations to
govern the contest (Which takes place on
the 15th) have been received here, and are
now in the hands OF the staff officers Of the
First Virginia Regiment to be distributed to
the various captains, by whom they will be
submitted to their respective companies for
consideration. This is another chance for
our "soier boys" to achieve additional
laurels, and now that they are getting so
we'll in trim for the home contest at our own
State Fair it would be we'll for one or more
OF the companies to make an effort TO par
ticipate in that OF our sister State.
The rules and regulations provide, among
others, prize OF S400 for the best-drilled
infantry company; prize OF Sl0O for the
best-drilled cavalry company, and prize
OF 500 for the best-drilled artillery COM
pany-al open to any OF the States. Com
panies that contend for the prize OF S4O0
will be required to pay an entrance fec OF
SZO, companies tuht Conteuu lof tue 'ot!cl
prizes pay an entrance fee OF $40. The
minimum number OF men allowed compa-
nies will be twcnty-iour, exclusive of COM
missioned officers and sergeants; the men
to be regular active members OF the compa-
nics with which they appear; each COM
pany to be drilled by its own officers, with
out music, in such movements and portions
OF the manual as the Judges may direct.
The drill is to be in accordance with the tac-
tics now in use in the United States army.
A ritle-team contest is also to take place;
the teams to consist of six men each, who
are to be bona .fde members OF the COM
pany they represent, and wearing the uni
form OF the same. Companies or teams de-
string to enter either contest are required to
