a few, words upon it would not be
amiss. Mr.. Barren, of the firm of
Davis, Melvin & Co., who was in the

of about 500 chickens, furnished us
some interesting items on the immense

ring tie present season he sends from

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 6.-Unoficial
but definite returns from about fifty
counties show a falling off of about
one :hird in the aggregate vote, but
about the usual Democratic maj aor-
ity. The Republicans have made
legislative gains. but. the General
Assembly that two years ago was
ia Democratic on joint ballot con-
tinues Democratic over 100. Black
burns majority for Governor is va
riously estimated at from twenty to
forty thousand. as2.a4 '@s#".
The vote recommending call
for a constitutional Convention,
though supported by both parties,
undoubtedly failed of the required
constitutional majority. The elec-
ton was unusually quiet all over
the State no riotous difficulty being
reported. The Greenbackers have
cartainly elected two members Of
the Lower House of the Legislature,
but their aggregate vote is insig-
ni6cant. In this county Blackburn
gets 6,961, Evans, 4,O49., At the
last Gubernatorial race, McOreery

This Sarsaparilla is combination of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's ingredients are so skilfully COM
biz su, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still SO effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over, every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
