tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day.
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have batiled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

Don't Give Up.

What if you have tried different put up
medicines in vain. Have you not been equal
ly disappointed in some physician? Do not
consider your case incurable until you have
made thorough trial of DR.. Pierce's Family
Medicines. They are chemically pure, of uni
form strength, and have come into general use
by reason of superior merit. In cases of gen.
eral and nervous debility, consumption, bron-
chitis, dyspepsia, 'liver complaint" scrofulous
punches, ulcers, and eruptions. the Golden
Medical Discovery is speedy and positive
cure; while thousands of women, who had for
years been bed-ridden, have, by the use of DR..
Pierces Favorite Prescription, been restored to
perfect health. The introduction of these two
remedies has revolutioniZed the treatment OF
chronic diseases. Patiel is are no longer de-
pleted and salivated, as the tonic and altera-
properties OF the Discovery long since demon
strated better way. Ladies need no longer
submit to the use OF the caustic and knife, as
the Favorite Prescription is guaranteed to
cure the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
women. Mrs. Samuel NJ. Kemper, of Gallan-
Diet, Ind, writes "Your Favorite Prescription
and Pleasant Purgative Pellets have saved my
life.''

4 Needed ENTERPRISE.


Several years ago the Circuit Court of Au-
business men to organize Fire Insurance
Company. The enterprise was, we believe,
abandoned on account of the financial panic
which set in short while afterwards. We
have always believed that such a company was
greatly needed, and would prove successful in
the Piedmont and Valley region of Virginia, a
country unequalled in any of the Southern
States, dotted all over as it is with fine dwell
ings, barns, mills, &c, and its towns and viii
lagos in which are splendid srOre-houses filled
with valuable goods of all kinds.
Now large part of this property is insured.
Where do the many thousands of dollars paid
annually in premiums go: The most of it to
Northern companies and to companies in Eu-
rope. This should not be so in a region which
can so justly boast of the thrift and enterprise
of its business men. This large amount Of
capital, sent off annually for others to use
sho uld be kept at home. How shall this be
done? Our business men should meet at once
and organize Fire Insurance Company on
solid basis-one that will command the sup
port and confidence of our people, and pro-
mote our home interests by having the money
invested here which is now annually sent to
foreign companies.
we doubt not That such company can be or
gained here on a basis that would hold out
great inducements to capitalists to invest in
its stock, for we believe that it would pay bet
ter than any other investment that we now
know of, always assuming that the company is
properly conducted, and we have no reason to
doubt that such would be the case in The hands
of our business men of character and expert
ence in the conduct of Insurance Companies.

From our special correspondent "H.'l
The Town Council met in the Council Cham
Der on Friday night last. There were great
many of our citizens present, they were
anxious to see what action the Council would
take in regard to their petition asking that all
the streets and alleys belonging to the
town be closed up, but they had their visit for
nothing, the Council did not seem at all
anxious to comply with the request set forth
in the petition. 1t seems that there are several
alleys and streets belonging to the town that
are fenced in and used by several persons, who
do not pay the town any T. Mt for the same !;
whilst there are parties willing and anxious to
rent these streets which would be good way
to get more funds in the treasury, especially as
they are very much needed now, as we are to
have pavements or street lamps, but more of
our citizens are in favor of the former.

change it for a new sensation of wrath or des-

you have forgotten the beginning and won't
