For the SPECTATOR.
Reasons for Primary Election.

The Conservative Executive Com
mittee have decided that it is to the in
terest of the Conservative party, and
to the interest of the city of StauptQn,
that Primary Election shall be held to
make nominations for the city offices to
be filed at the election in May. The
preservation of the organization of the
Conservative party should be main
tanned OF else broken up entirely. If
it was a good thing two years ago, then
it will be good thing now; no such
political changes have taken place in
our city as to justify the Conservatives
in giving up their organization. The
Radical party in our midst is as fully or
gained now as it ever has been, and is
prepared to take advantage of the first
break in the Conservative ranks to
throw in its solid phalanx of voters, and
thus control the government of our city,
which Of right ought to be in the hands
of those who pay the larger proportion
OF the taxes, and are consequently mora
deeply interested In her welfare and
prosperity.
Let the tax-paying citizens of our
community say whom they wish to
fill the city offices, and there will be no
trouble about getting good men, or elect
ing theEn'e either.
Let no man who holds himself Com
sentative turn an open ear to the whis-
pers Of the party which is seeking slowly,
but continuously, to beguile you from
the duty you owe your party by cries OF
''no politics in city elections" "let's
have free fight" there is no use of a
primary" "the Radicals are dlsorgan-
led gal yi,lnot take part in the fight"
No! Let every Conservative STAND py
his party obligations, and vote for the
man OF his choice, and though he fails
to get the nomination, yet Let him
abide by the decision of the majority OF
his fellow Conservatives.
A CONSERVATIVE.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

ga~ THE GREAT HEALTH RE
STORER-In all ages of the world the skill and
scientific attachments of man have been direct
ed to study Of the human system and a dis
covery of the various ills to which it is heir If
after years of constant application, some distin-
guished physician has succeeded in compound
ing an agent by which the slightest ache may
be overcome, he has been hailed as a great
benefactor of his race, and with great propriety
the world have gladly sung paeans to his praise.
This being proper, in the discovery of q remedy
for a single disease, how much more indebted
are the whole human family to the inventor OF
BAKERS BiTTERS, a medicine that has stood
the test of time, and proved a panacea for Dys-
pepsia, Diarrhea, Cholera Morbus Cramp
Cholic, Giddiness, Nervous Debility, Loss of APP
petite, and Sour Stomach, while the various
nostrums OF Quacks and empires have -four
ished for an hour and then disappeared never
again to be revived.
BAKERS RITFERS are now used in hundreds
OF families in Virginia as their only medicine,
and that they are appreciated even by medical
men as q tonic of great virtue is abundantly at
tested by hundreds of certificates in the hands
of the Proprietor.
BAKERS BTTTERS are compounded entirely
OF vegetable extracts, which are harmoni-
ously blended that all ages and sexes may use
them with benefit, and without the fear OF
the slightest injury. Try them by all means.
and then speak Of them to the afflicted as they
deserve.
Sold by all druggists and country merchant
everywhere. L. BAKER, Proprietor,
