A Word to our Headers.

When you read ot a remedy that will cure all diseases, beware of it; but when you read ot a pure vegetable compound which claims to cure only certain parts of the body, and furnishes high proof tha. it does this, you can safely try it and win the assurance that it will help you. This is just wtat Warner g Safe Kidney and Liver Cure does. It cures all troubles of the lower portion of the body and none others. It will not help the tooth- ache, -ache nor consumption but it will put your body in vigorous and healthy state where you can enjoy life and appreciate it's good things. Try it

Almost every New England village of E.uch prosperity now has it's Society for Promoting Rural Improvement, the work of which is to induce and direct tasteful architecture and gardening. Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, in a Ledger article, emphasizes the value of these societies by describing Fortbridge in 1870 and in 1880. This is Fortbridge as it was: The houses bordering the main street are all inclosed by rail fences, picket fences and dilapidated stone walls. with creaky turnstiles and gates half unhinged, and drunken posts leaning against an old stump for support; patches of unshOrn grass and weedy gravel, faggots of bark and wood and brush, fragments of ancient carts, and broken blows and disabled harrows, heaps of mortar and stones, piles of bot ties, and all other conceivable forms of rubbish dumped into the gutter. The barns and sheds and dwelling houses are all much of the same pattern and the same color, if they can be said to have any color at all; cold, bare, dreary, with no piazzas or porches, or window hoods, or any other attempt at ornamentation. This is Fortbridge as it is now: Most of the old houses reappear, but with broad piazzas, tasteful porches and bay windows peeping out from the vines and flowers; with altered roofs and fancy chimnevs, and rich coloring. The ugly fences arc gone, flowers bloom in front of all the houses, the streets are all re- formed, the weeds and rubbish are seen there no more. Good, clean sidewalks have been laid from one end of the vil- lage to the other, and the roadway is so fine md smooth that even Mir.

Pension Arrears claims.

TWELVE TO FIFTEEN YEARS WORK
ON HAND-ovER $500, 0,000, 900 IN
voLvED.
Yesterday being the last day upon
which claimants for arrears OF PEN
sions could present their claims, the
Pension Ofice was kept open until
midnight in order that no one should
have reason to say hereafter that his
claim was delayed by accident, or to
make q complaint that the office had
refused to receive it on the last day
of grace. There have been filed
since the passage of the act, June
25, 1879, more than l8O, 900 original
invalids and widows claims. Of
these 40, 81 were filed last month.
The number of unsettled claims now
pending in the Pension Office is up
ward Of SOC, 700, representing claims
aggregating not lees than $780,
100000 for the first payment. The
average amount of arrears paid to
each claimant is 81, 1000. The num-
Der of claims which the office is
enabled to dispose of with its pres
ent force and under the present sys-
tenn, is about $500, of which about
1900 are passed passed upon favora-
bly,; the remaining 700 being reject
ed, and in most cases presented
again, and have to be re-examined
in many instances several times
over. These are often allowed after
being thus rejected. 1t is estimated
that if no more claims, of any kind,
were to be received, it would require
from twelve to fifteen years to dis
pose of the work now in hand under
the present system of operations,
and without vast increase of force.
In addition to the work upon the
claims mentioned above, there is
the work upon increase claims,
bounty land claims, and 1912 pen
sion claims.
1t will be remembered that Secre-
tary Sherman stated, Immediately
after the passage Of the arrears act,
that the measure would cost the
Government at least $3.50, 900 900.
The amount actually paid out for
arrears up to this time is S22 900 900.
This added to the $300,000, 900 in
volved in pending cases, and making
a liberal allowance for reflections,
will, it is estimated, make the aggre-
gate amount of arrears when all
shll have been cleared up, more
than 500, 100000 in excess of Secre-
tary Sherman's estimates.

3O.-Never In the history of this country
has more brutal outrage been perpe-
trated than have to record. 1t has ex-
cited the indignation of the whole com
munity and made the blood boil in
every honest mau's bosom.
On last Sunday evening a negro, named
Henry johnson. enticed a daughter of
Mr.. Henry l.. Mudd, only three years old,
away from home, and when he arrived
with her at secluded place, the tlepd
outraged the little child. She was of
course very much injured, and her physi-
clans entertain doubt as to her recovery
As soon as the fact became generally
known the neighborhood was up in arms
and In search of the scoundreI. This
was not limited To the white population
but the colored was equally excited, and
he was finally caught by a colored man,
who took him to the sherif Il of the county.
He was placed in the jail here. Appre-
tensions exists that he may be taken out
and mobbed, but every precaution has
been taken TO protect him, and permit
the law TO visit upon him it's penalty.
The colored people say that Just such in
famous characters as johnson reflect dis
credit upon the race and they want to
see him punished. The family of the
child have the sympathy Of every one.
