Clothing, Clothing.

Everybody has been predicting Sc
we're winter, and it seems that P. H.
Washam d Co. have been led to believe
in these predictions, because they .hsve
laid in such complete stock of warm,
comfortable clothing as never was known
in Jackson at the commencement of for
mer winters. Everything has been
shrinking in value for five years past,
and clothing has got down to hard pan"
at last. Woolen goods have gone down
almost as much as iron, and there is no
excuse for man to suffer for want of
comfortable clothing. Just go to the
Great Clothing Store of P. H. Washam &
Co., Martins Corner, and get yourself a
new suit. You have no idea of the great
fall in prices. dec5-3w

OBITUARY,

STEELE.-Wednesday morng,- Nov. q, 1879,
after a months illness, Alma Meta, daughter
Of William FL. and Sophia Steele.
Little Alma was with us but five brief sum-
mers, yet SO lovely were her traits and so beau
tiful her life, that she will live forever in our
hearts. Sleep on, sweet child, and know that
we shall see you beautiful with all the souls
expansion"
"There is no flock, however watched and tended,
But one dead lamb is there;
There is no fireside, howse 'er defended,
But has one vacant chair.
There is no death! What seems SO is transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life Elysian,
Whose portal we call death.
She is not dead,-the child OF our affection,-
But gave unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor protection,
And Christ himself doth rule.
Day after day we think what she is doing
In those bright realms of air:
Year after year her tender steps pursuing
Behold her grown more fair.
Thus do walk with her, and keep unbroken
The bond which nature gives,
Thinking that our remembrance, though un-
broken,
May reach her where she lives"

Health.

Now reader, do not stop, and say, "Oh,
this is another patent medicine adver-
Good health depends much more upon
proper care than it does upon medicine.
Dry, warm feet, conduce more to keeping
a person healthy than all the medicines
ever advertised. How can this be ac-
complished? Simply by calling at the
Great Clothing Store of P. Fl. Washam &
Co., Martins Corner, and getting pair
of boots, shoes, or slippers, such as can be
had only at this Great Establishment.
Their stock is very large indeed, and
their assortment almost innumerable.
Prices correspond with the times.

When Bob McKimmie was brought in
to the Court House on Monday quite a
crowd collected to take look at the
desperate. 1t was quite amusing to hear
persons guessing at which was the pris-
oner. One stranger cast his eye quickly
over the crowd within the bar, and asked:
>"Isn't'that him there, with the iron
gray whiskers ?"
"Arrah musha, an be damned to you"
said an 1rishman standing near, "thats
the ovid iditor that shtruck me, on the

be McKimmie, holding that lop-eared

The U. S. Signal Service.

Gradually, the wild and ungovernable
forces of nature are, through science
made of use to man. Following in the
wake of the ingenious inventions for the
use of steam and electricity, comes the
organization of the U. S. Signal Service.
Is it not wonderful that a system could
be originated and perfected whereby an
operator can accurately predict the wealth
er of distant locality? And yet expe-
rience proves our "storm signals to be
reliable. Equally great are the advances
made in the science of medicines. Step
by step, uncertainties and doubts have
yielded to absolute certainty. The discov-
cries of Harvey and Jumer have been
succeeded by the Golden Medical Discov-
cry of DR. R. " Pierce. No longer need
people despair because some physician
has pronounced the lungs unsound.-
Hundreds of testimonials are on file in
the Office of DR.. Pierce from those who
had abandoned all hope, and had been
given up to die by physicians and friends.
Insipient consumption, bronchitis, and
scrofulous tumors, speedily, surely, and
permanently, yield to the healing infu-
ences of the Discovery. If the bowels be
constipated, use DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Purgative Pellets. For full particulars
