they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide repatriation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs Of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-

stand or cvade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafiled the best Of
human skill While they produce power
full effects they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the clements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever treshs
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

ANOTHER CoNTEsT.-We learn that
w. A. Mestrezat, of Morgantown,
and Louis Boos, of Michigan,
will renew their cornct con
test some time in November and it
will take place in Wheeling. The one
that was held in Jackson, Michigan,
some time in August was declared by
the judges to be in favor of Mr.. Boos
though only SO by a trifiing technical
ity and not altogether in fair man
ner. We have confidence in the abil-
ity of our talented young friend to
defeat the Western man in a fair test
and have no doubt that he will be
the successful competitor the next
time. % He was cordially received by
the musical experts jackson, when
there last month, and judging from
the papers of that city, he must have
made quite an impression.

will you permit man to insnuate
such an insult on yourselves, your
sisters and daughters? | would re-
sent tho insult, but as it comes from
such poor little insignificant thing
as grayback, / will let it pass. This
"Grayback" reminds me Of a saying

speech, some one KEEP! interrupting

said "never mind, boys, when you

Now l don't intend to call This cor

him to be a gentleman, but the ar
guments introduced by Davis, Weld
man and Martin were so strong, so
forcible and SO unanswerable that
Mr.. G:ayback, like the dog that was

fact is if AIN not mistaken i'm the

But happily Mr.. Grayback's term OF

some noble labOrer will step into his

he did at the Greenback meeting at
Bakers. Now in conclusion, l will
say if Grayback thinks the Green

NlCTIMIzED.-Mr. Zadoe Jollif, of
this place, was victimizcd in q horse
trade at the Shinston camp meeting
last Saturday. A man approached
him and wanted to swap horses. Mr..
Jollifexpressed a willingness to grant
his request, and after little talk on
the matter Il bargain was struck, all,
of course in good faith ON Mr. Jol-
lifts part, he agreeing to give the man
about five dollars as a difference be-
tween the value of the two horses.
The money was paid over by Mr.. Jol-
lift, who mounted his lately acquired
animal and rode away, while the 9th
er man merely hitched his horse and
went about his business. Mr.. Jollih
had not gone far before he was ac-
costed by an old farmer who claimed
the horse he was riding. lie (Jollif)
explained to the farmer that he had
traded for the beast, but the other
man proved so conclusivelv that it
was his property that Mr.. Jollih' gave
the animal up, and was forced to nc
knowledge that he had been made
the victim Of some rascal However,
he found his own horse still tied where
the triekster had left it, as it seems
that his only object was to get some
money out of Mr.. Jollif. Although n
thorough search was made for him all
over the camp grounds, he could not
be found, and Mr., Jolliff lost his five
dollars.-U' est I'frginiaa.
