Duty Of aHlc HHOuE.

This is the last issue Of the COURIER be-
fore the general election on Tuesday, tho I'd
day of November. 1t is the duty of every
citizen OF our county to turn out upon that
day and vote solidly for the Democratic ticket
without hesitation or hating. The eighteen
hundred who signed tho Democratic club
rolls ought each ono to resolve himself into
committee of one on the day Of election to
work for tho ticket and sec to it that his
ncighbors all vote it. These Democrats owe
duty to their State, which upon that day
can be discharged by standing fully and
freely by their pledges. Tho good govern
ment which we now enjoy, in low taxes,
was gained by organization, and this can
only be retained by the Democracy present
ing united front. The independent is
nothing but Radicalism in disguise, and the
Democracy Of the county should teach tho
independent candidate that he can not de-
pend on broken Democracy Tor his votes.
Now is tho day for union and he who lag
CARDS is unfaithful in the discharge of his
citizenship. Let it be said after tho day of
election that Oconee County is the banner
county Of the Democracy.
On Thursday, Hon. j. S. Murray, candi-
dato for Presidential Elector, will speak at
the Court House, at Westminster on Friday
and at Seneca on Saturday. Other speakers
will be present also and speak We hope
the merchants and business men at these
places will close doors and attend the places
Of speaking. One day taken from busincs
and devoted to the securing of gona go7orr-
ment will not impoverish them, but mako
them richer. 1t is to be hoped that tho cit,
zeas in the vicinity Of these places will turn
out largely and give Mr. Murray hearty ro.
cep,ion. Let tho Democracy rally

and good one. The Marquis OF Hart.

Liberal party, was travelling in this

made a semi-official call on President
Lincoln. He was introduced to honest
old Abe in the White House with some
ceremony, but Mr.. Lincoln grasped the
hand of the Marquis with his broad
hand, closed a grip on it that brought
the tears to the Englishman's eyes, and
said in CHEEKY voice. "Glad to sec
you, Marquis of Harrington. Shall
never forget you, because your name
rhymes with one of our great charac-
ters-Mrs. Partingtonl How are you,
Marquis?' and he gave Harrington an
other squeeze; after which my LORD left

Yaseline.

a new product made from petroleum
Is a jelly called "Vaseline," which is Of
the greatest utility in medicine. phar-
macy and for toilet use. PHYSICIANS all
over the world have discovered ia great
value in the treatment of wounds hnrns
SKIN diseases, rheumatism, catarrh and
every allment where a liniment is need
ed, and in almost every hospital in
America and Europe this substance il
now i'll constant use, and is acknowledp-
ed not only to be the best treatment
but also one Of the most important 70.
cent additions to medicine. Ii is mt
up in bottles by the Caesebroueh Man
ufacturing Co., of New York, and as =
family remedy, it is without doubt the
best in use. Its healing ard pain ailay-
ing qualities being superior to those
any known substance, while the speedy
relief it affords for piles and chilblains
Is almost magical. AS an emollient,
Vaseline Is way ahead of anything else,
as it renders the SKIN smooth, soft and
clear, and our lady friends will ii. d it
not only the best, but perhaps the sole
substance which will really preserve and
restore to the complexion the hues of
youth, making the cheek like velvet
and the skin like satin. The complexion
powders IN common use, are, as 4 rule,
injurious to the skin and destructive OF
any complexion, while Vaseline is en-
tirely healthful and beneficial. There
ls also made a "Pomade Easeline.
which is said TO be of great benefit to
the hair, keeping it soft and glossy, pre-
venting and curing dandruh. and keep
ing the scalp healthful and free from
disease, and from those Objectionable
creatures which sometimes find dwell,
ing there. Numberless instances are
cited of how by the use of this pomade
thin and failing hair has resumed Wig
orous growth. Both the pure Vaseline
and the pomade are put up in twenty
five cent bottles and are to be found at
all first-class druggists, and we advise
our readers to make trial of this won

find its claims to merit not in the least
