I'm Districts Formerly Ravaged
By fever and ague, immunity from the
dreaded sconrge is enjoyed by those who
have rendered their system maiaral proof
with Hostetters Stomach Bitters, the best
preventive and remedy. Quinine can not
compare with it in efficacy, and is anything
but safe. Physicians commend the Bitters
for its remedial and resuscitating proper
ties and the closes analysis reveals nothing
in the composition of deleterious nature.
1t does not deteriorate, is an agreeable COR
dial as well as potent medicine, and when
mixed with brackish or unwholesome water
neutralizes its hurtful properties. The dem
izens of malarious localities, not only in
the United States, but the tropics, regard it
as an invaluable protection, and in hosts of
families it is kept constantly on hand. As
the tide of emigration spreads farther west
ward, the demand for it among those COM
PEELED to encounter the vicissitudes OF eli
mate, constantly increase.

to me to be service which, under exist
ing circumstances, | do not feel at liberty
to decline, and ! accept the nomination
in the spirit in which it was made. And
while recognize the embarrassment
which we suffer at present from the fall
ing away of large number of our for
mer associates to follow after man who
has been for fifteen or twenty years the
most inveterate enemy of the Democratic
party, and who is at this moment plot
ting its dismemberment and utter over
throw, yet think we may venture to
hope that their delusion will be brief.
Already they must be beginning to see
that if they do not speedily retrace their
steps, they will find themselves delivered
into the hands of greater General than
even the celebrated hero whom they de-
light to honor. Very soon we may ex-
pect them struggling back, weary, way
worn, and hungry, filled, like the prodi-
gal of the parable, only with husks and
east wind. Meanwhile, the convention
has selected me to represent the ancient
principles of the Democratic faith, and
to hold up a standard around which may
rally all men who wish to protest, at one
and the same time, against personal poll
tics on the one hand and fanatical legis-
lation on the other. Personal politics
or the surbordination of all principle
to the mere aggrandizement of an indi-
vidual has seldom had more perfect
specimen than Benjamin F. Butler,
while it would be hard to find a more
characteristic sample of fanatical legis-
lation than the Civil Damage act Of the
last Legislature. No person who votes
for John D. Long can avoid by that act
avoiding the law. He is its candidate,
and on that precise issue was preferred
by his party to Henry L. Pierce. The
candidates Of the Democratic party alone
represent this double protest, and offer
the opportunity to stamp with brand
Of common condemnation the two most
offensive political evils which just now
afiict the Commonwealth"

DR.. Smith, chronic lumber thief cam,

to his not altogether honorable career, OF
last Monday evening. 1t seems that h,
had been stealing lumber from the Fail
Grounds, and Mr.. Jno. H. Odeneal, one Of
the owners of the buildings thereon, had
| become aware of it, and warned him to
cease this nefarious practice; but stealing
lumber being second nature with the Dr.
he needed not Mr.. O's. warning, and on
visiting the Fair Grounds Monday evening
for the purpose of experimenting the tear
ing down and removing the buildings, Mr..
Odeneal found the Doctor in the act of re-
moving more lumber; he at once ordered
him off the premises, but Smith refused to
go, and was very impudent; Mr.. Odeneal
attempted to enforce his command, but
Smith showed fight, and advanced on
Mr.. Odeneal, an encounter epsued in
which Smith was cut about the neck
rather seriously. Mr.. Odeneal surrendered
himself to Justice Patton, and wac placed
under bond to appear before an examining
court as soon as DR.. Smith is able to be
present and testify. Dr. Smith served one
term in the penitontiary for stealing lum-

We are indebted to our young friend
Mr.. EN-. Feibleman. of West jackson, for
the following item of Lightning news cat
half past seven o'clock, on the evening of
the 10Th, during the storm, lightning struck
the belfry of the West Jackson engine
house, shattering several large and heavy
pieces of timber; from there it conducted
itself down into the side rooms used as re.
freshment rooms during balls, entertain>
ments, ETC., and literally tore open the
walls between them and the main hall,
smashing all the windows in the front of
the building and tearing locks off the doors;
breaking sash, CHAIRS, tables, etc. giving
the inside of the hall the appearance of a
wreck. The damage will amount to at least
$200. By 8 O'Clock next morning, the
popular builder, Mr.. Murray Bennett, with
an able corps of assistants, had COM
menced repairing the damage done.
