We had the pleasure of look over DIR.
FleminR's new house at Port Byron the
other day, the painters are still at work
but one can see that the DR.. will have the
finest house in Port Byron when finished.
To the old and original house has been adj
ded a second story of brick. and back of
that an addition of frame, all two story.
To commence with we were shown the well
and kitchen, the we'll being just outside
the door and covered by a porch, 10 the
kitchen is fine range and double acting
force pump, and connected with the range
is vertical tank for hot water pipes from
which run through the range in such q
manner that the water is always hot, and
by system of pipes hot and cold water is
supplied both up and down stairs, a very
handy arrangement especially in winter.
There is sitting rooms and parlors below,
and Drs. bedroom all furnished with nice
large windows, one pane of glass to each
sash 25x36, making fine tasty window,
and to each room, with exception OF parlor
and sitting room is closet something
never ont of place, the sitting room and
dining room. the sitting room being up
stairs
though both are to be used for the pur-
pose. Both have a bay window which
front south, thus insuriug the warmth OF
the winter sun and also good view of the
river and the city" Below and up stairs
the room has large window so arranged
opening out on to the verandah and here
we suppose the doctor and his family vii
sit these warm evenings and take solid
comfort. 1t commands fine view Of the
river, and will be the most pleasant room
in the house. Charley, the DOCTOR
youngest boy, will use this for his study, ;
bookcase haying been built in here especi
ally for him. The bath room up stairs il
also first class and hot and cold water
sink and all modern appliances, The worl
has been done entirely by Rock 1slanC
men, With the exception of painting which
we believe is being done by Whiteside
of Port Byron. The entire work is frs
class and reflects credit upon the builder
the doctor himself having helped to builC
a good many Speculation" buildings, nov
has one of his own. May he live long Il

new HOPE FOR THE AFFLICTED

The liver has been not inappropriately termed
the "housekeeper' of health. 1t is the largest
gland in the system and performs the important
function of extracting from the blood impurities,
that ii allowed 10 remain, would serious impair
the healthy functions Of the machinery of life.
The kidneys also perform NEST important func-
ton in taking the blood urea and other poisonous
principles and excreting them from the system.
When in health, therefore, the liver and kidneys
preside over the life-functons of the system and
their condition determines to a very great extent
the condition of the system at large. For, when
crippled or impaired, to fail in performing
their proper functions, poisonous matters accumu-
late in the blood that weaken and derange all vita

There Must BE Unity,

Ii there is one thing which more than
another contributes to party success it is
unity of action. The little personal piques
and jealousies which creep into the party
should never be allowed to spread but
those between whom grievances exist, if
true adherents to party principle, should
settle their grievances with themselves
aud not create breach in the party ranks
Democrats will do we'll to consider this
matter carefully and organize upon the
principles of true democracy ana not il
the interest OF any man or set of men
When the presidential contest occurs
unity of action will be necessary to success
and unless all differences are settled, sue.
cess cannot be attained. If there exists a
certain faction in favor of greenback
policy, let that faction secure if it can, the
desired reform, through the medium Of the
parry. If the hard money element de.
sires to enforce their opinions lei
that element DO so, not as
a faction or specific element,
but through the party as part of that
party. It's OF no consequence what par
tlcular element may be named. there can
be no success so long rs factions and ele.
ments rule instead OF the party as party.
II is unwise and unfair to secede from the
democratic ranks because special feature
is not according to the taste OF a special
class. What democrats want to do is to
labor uultedly as party, bringing togeth-
er all the elements as grand
combination. In unity lies strength, sue
cess and democratic supremacy at. the
polls. But if the conflicting elements
within the party persist Id creating a
breach 10 the organization, there can be no
success as a party. Democrats will do
well to consider these points and instead Of
getting up third parties, unite under the
banner of democracy and by their votes
enforce such legislation as their Judgment
tells them is desirable. There should be
no dissensions within the party ranks, Lut
united, earnest work for success.
