TT IS AN ESTABLISHED FACT, THAT

they do not remove the cause that pro
duces the chills. For if they did, the chills
would not return on the It'll, 18th, 21st or
2sth day. Then is it not money LOST to
attempt to permanently cure the chills

do not remove the cause from the system,
that produces them For until the cause
is removed, the chills will return. the

WHO AEsE THEY:

Who are those who contribute most
TO cultivate the rcprehensible practices
among mer ? We answer they are those
who withhold truth and justice; those
who most clearly understand and know
the right, but from selfish motives will
neither advocate nor pursue it. Hon
csiy and pure sense OF justice will pre-
vent man from doing wrong act; he
will not steal, nor cheat, nor lie, or bear
false witness against his neighbor; he
will not obtain by prevarication or du
bious statements the confidence or prop
erty of his fellow man, and abuse the
one and refuse TO restore the other; no
will not make a promise, with intent
and knowledge of his inability to fulfill
it; he will not give advice Tor gain when
he knows his advice, if followed, will
lead to wrong and injustice.
Honesty and justice claim our respect
and veneration. They are the highest
embellishments to human action they
adorn the Christian man or woman !;
they impart dignity to the statesman
they add attraction to all mankind; they
purify the individual and harmonic So
ciety; strengthens confidence; ennobies
our natures; gives purity to our actions
and trutbfulness 10 our utterances.
With honesty and justice emblazoned
on our banner, we can march forth TO
the battle of life, cheered with the smile
of Divine appreciation, confident OF the
rectitude of our actions, defiant OF the
scrutiny and criticism of our fellow citl-
zen. Man thus fills the fullness OF his
superiority over all other animal crea-
ton, by rejecting the greatness and
purity of his Creator, in whose image
he is declared to be made, and also mer-
It's the declaration that an honest man
is the noblest work of God.

TO THE CITIZENS OF SssEP-
HEIRESS-LOVE AND VICINITY.

The question whether Shepherd Col
,ege is to re -open in September is often
asked. and men of influence are heard
to say that it must not go down, while
the voice of the citizens of the town
and ofth country around is universally
in favor of its continuance. All admit
the good done in the community by
the school in the past Every business
man in the town has been benefited
pecuniarily by the school. The inter
est felt in it then unreasonable, and now
that the town has such bright prospects
for railroad connections, of such impor-
tance, it would be suicidal to her best
interests to allow one OF the greatest
attractions that town can offer set
tlers-a good sehool--to perish tor want
of patronage. All the citizens OF Shop
herdstown and the country around who
desire the school to reopen are invited
in to days issue to attend the consulta-
lion meeting in its behalf They VIII
not have subscription papers poked at
them, nor will the lat be passed around.
Bdt-if there is any gennineness IN this
Off expressed desire for the school to
.continue, the Trustees and Teachers ex
poet to test i, by this call. If those
who have had children at the school
STAY away and if the citizens who have
reaped pecuniary advantage from its To-
cation in their midst, do not attend, then
those in charge have indisputable evil
dence that the interest felt is entirely
insufficient to warrant the expectation
of its going on.
In view Of the fact, that the future Of
the school is at stake and to be de-
termned by this meeting, 1t is to be
hoped that all who are willing to send
sons and daughters viii attend; and let
it be known what they intend to do,
and If they can not come themselves at
least have some representative who can
speak for them.
1t is a good deal easier to pull down
than to build up-hard work alone
builds-rcglect pulls down and if this
call is neglected there is every prospect
that a school which can fit the young
for the duties of life and prepare young
men for high stand at the best insti-
tutions of learning in the land, will be
a need long felt in the community.
The President and Board Of Trustees
of Shepherd College respectfully and
earnestly request their fellow citizens of
the town AMI neighborhood to meet
them at the College Hall on Saturday at
ternoon, the 9th inst, at 3 o'clock, to
take into consideration the feasibility of
continuing the school.

that unless she confessed he would Kill

and got butcher knife and piece CT
wood, and with one in each hand he adj
vanced upon her. She plead with him
to keep away and backed toward cor

She took up the carbine and warned
him if he approached toward her she

The gun was loaded with No. 3 shot

10 France is becoming good mar
ket for American horses. a cable dis
patch to the New York Herald says
thirty-two horses which arrived at
Havre in good condition were accepted
for the French Cavalry, and sold for
from two hundred and twenty dollars to
two hundred and sixty-fve dollars,
which are remarkably good prices.
Good cavalry horses could be pat on
shipboard here for about one hundred
and twenty-five dollars in unlimited
quantity, and as France cannot draw
either from Germany or Russia her need
for animals is great enough to establish
an Important trade.

Hon. a. Il. Is0TEZEss.

We are glad that our nomination OF
Hon. A. Il. Boteler, for the office of
State Superintendent Of Free Schools, is
meeting with favor throughout the
State. Mr.. Is. is an old line wing, with
out shadow or variableness OF turning.
He is an accomplished and erudite
scholar, possessing fine executive abili-
tv, and with him at the head of our free
school system it would become an hon
or and credit to the State. Roll on the
ball. 1t will give the Statesman great
pleasure to make the welkin ring with
the name of Boteler. The voice OF the
clique however will not be heard in his
Notwithstanding Statesman.
RIn CoMrLIslENrARY.-A writer from
Taylor county, this State, TO the Mar
tinsburg Statesman, says
notice that The Statesman is play
ing full hand as its wont in regard TO
proper candidates for State offices. 1t
has struck upon two names, Boteler and
Grantham, who have many friends in
this section, and should either or both
receive the nominations for the offices
named, they would PROFESSIONALLY poll
the full party vote. With Johnson n.
Camden, or 7. G. Eastman to head
the State ticket and with Moses S.
Grantham for State Treasurer and A.
II. Boteler for Superintendent of Free
Schools, the ticket would sweep the
State like an avalanche.
Hon. Alexander X. Boteler is sug-
gested by the Martinsburg Statesman as
an excellent person for State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction. There
is no one within the bounds OF our State
more worthy of cordial support, nor is
there person possessing in a greater
degree tie attainments that mark the
gentleman and scholar. Johannesburg
