DON'T give Up.

What if YOU have tried different

you not been equally disappointed
in some physicians? Do not consider
your case incurable until you have
made a thorough trialof DR.. Pierce's
Family Medicines. They are chem
ically pure, of uniform strength, and
have come into general use by reason
of superior merit. In cases Of gem

ical Discovery IS a speedy and posi-
tive cure; while thousands of women
who had for years been bed-ridden,
have, by the use Of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
yorite Prescription, been restored to
perfect health. The introduction of
these two remedies has revolution
lied the treatment Of chronic dis
eases. Patients are no longer de-
pleted and salivaied, as the tonic and
Alternative properties of the Discov-
cry long since demonstrated u better

to the use of the caustic and knife,

Jewett.

The H, J. Jewett boom for The
Presidency is assuming large pro-
portions, and it looks now as if he
WILDE the nominee of the Cincinnati
Convention. We hope it may be so,
for there is no man whom we could
more cheerfully support. We can
put West Virginia down for Jewett,
in the convention, if Mason county
is an index to the feeling over the
State, and we believe'it is.

President County Court.

Mr.. Editor: The time is now ar
rived when we should be looking
around for a suitable person for Pres
ident of the County, Court In think
ing over d longlist of gentlemen who
would fill this position creditably,
we have fixed our mind upon Hon.
j. J. Bright, of this place. He is an
educated gentleman, a lawyer by
profession, but now retired from the
practice. lie is eminently qualified
to fill this position, because Of his
knowledge of the law, his gentle
manly bearing, his kiudnessof heart,
and the interest and pride he takes
in his town and county. We do not
know whether he would accept the
office or not, but merely mention his
name for fthe consideration of the
coming Democratic County Conven-
ton, which We believe would tender
him its unanimous vote, if he says
he will accept.

Coming Back.

. y -
We are informed that up ii Jsc4i
son county the Greenback party is
entirely disbanded, aud that those
who made up its numbers are seek
ing out their former places in the
Democratic and Republican patties.
This year the fight in Jackson will
be between the Democrats and Re
pnblicans straight. The great on
ganizer of the Grehback patty up
there, has forsaken The cause, and
has proclaimed himself henceforth
and forevera Democrat. The Dem:
ocrats who were in the organization
saw that it was onlya Republican
trick to divide The Democratic party,
and if possible to elect Republicans
to office. When. it comes to voting.
these Republicans we're found not to
be reiidbEs Greenbackers.. What is
true ofJackson is also trusof Mason.

he is only whistling now to keep his
courage up. We know that their
ranks are being decinated in this
county, and the same is being done
in Putnam, Kanawha, jackson anc
Roane counties, the Greenback
strongbolds. Outside of the coun
ties named the Greenback party
never amounted to much. The Dem.
ocrats in Mason who are now in the
dreenback party ought to see by thi:
time, that the only thing the party
has accomplished in the past or viii
accomplish in the future, is to retair
the Republican party in power
This is the Presidential year. Car
Democrats afford to remain longer ir
an outside organization, which i
continued will endanger the success:
of the Democratic party, and may b.
insure the success Of the Republican
party, and probably the reelection
of Grant? No, we cannot believe
they will do so. Then come back to
the good old Democratic party, ere it
is too late.

The United States is n peculiar one.
1t is Grant and the bayonct arrayed

Halter themselves that this great re-

are too &mls Established; and the
liberties purchased by our ancestors,
are too dear-ever to be crushed out

bot Rome fell, and was ruled by
thirty successive tyrannical .G9per-

"Democratic Union.

The spectre of the third term is
bringing the Democracy of New York
to its senses. Last week, an associa-

promote Democratic union and har-

significance Of the movement lies in
the fact that its chief organizers are

defeating the whole Democratic tick
