Nervous Irritability, Sciatica and all pain
full Nervous Diseases. treatise by well
known physician, aspeclalist on these sub
Jects, concludes as follows: "Neuralgia is
one of the most painful of diseases, and is
attended with more or less nervous irrita-
ton. Sciatica is also form OF neuralgia,
and all painful nervous diseases come UNI
der that name. Neuralgia means nerve
ache, and therefore you can suffer with neu-
ralgia in any part of the bod y, as the nerves
are supplied to every part.
| have for many years closely studied the
cause of neuralgia, and the nature Of the
nervous system, with the many diseases that
it is subject to, and have found by actual
experience that the true and primary cause
OF neuralgia is poverty OF the nervous fluid
it becomes impoverished and poor, and in
some cases starved, not because the patient
does not eat, but because what is eaten is
not appropriated to the nervous system
there are many causes for this, but DIR. c.
w. Benson's Celery and Chamomile Pills
have in my hands proved perfect remedy
for this condition and these diseases.

Pres. Andrews drove into Jacks On j,
La. The report spread with great
rapi,iity among the boys, and the
shouts from the different groups as
the glad tidings were communica-
ted, showed with what delight his
arrival was hailed. He did not
make his appearance on the conpHs
until Monday morning. On his en-
trance into the prayer chapel, he
was greeted with u deafning ap
plause from the boys. After the
calling of the roll, and very ap-
propriate prayer by the President,
the school was dismissed. Before,
however, the boys began to retire
Mr. B. +. JONES, who had been ap-
pointed by the school for the pur-
pose, arose and addressed The Pres

pirate remarks, welcoming him back
to assume the responsibilities of the
school once more. He thGseEead the
following resolutions which lad
been adopted by the school, Viz

1t has been suggested that mon

the suggestion know nothing Of the
trouble of raising funds to erect
monuments. We should certainly
oppose the erection of a monument
to any one deceased member of our
Association, when our list Of dead
brothers embrace so many worthy
gentlemen. It would not be out of
place, il the Association feels able.
to erect a Press Monument, and
haze inscribed thereon the names
of all members who have died, or
who may die. Brown, Kelly, Horn,
Glanvi!le. Davis. MCGEE, Signaigo,
Norment, CalhGon, Barksda|c, Muir

worthy CT a monument as Cooper.
Let 1t be erected TO the memory of
all. Or to none.
1t was first proposed to erect q
monument solely to Holland, for his
brave service while the yellow fever
was devastating his town but when

Stubborn Facts.

1.-THE Independent candidates Tor
the Legislature expect to be elected
their expectation is based on the
idea that they are to get practicaiiy
the solid colored vote. This expec-
tation does the colored voters ofthc
county an injustice. 1t assumes
that they oppose Hodges because he
is Democrat. and because all good
Democrats will vote for him. We
believe the colored men of this
county are not actuated by such mo-
tives. We defend our colored fell
low citizens from the imputation of
bad citizenship put upon them by the
candidacy of these Independents.
The colored men of the county do
not desire perpetual separation
and estrangemenr from the white
men. They have no party candi-
date and will, therefore, that this
splendid opportunity is offered them,
walk up to the polls and vote for
Hodges, and thus show to the coun-
try that they are willing to be
friends with the white people. And
why should they not do so? Has
not Hodges shown himself to be
the friend of the colorcd men, as
much so as either of the gentlemen
who are Independent candidates!
What has Hodges ever done that
the colored people should be driven
from him? What have the hide
pendcnts done that the colored men
should prefer them? Nothing.

William hailed him and said he
could not come any nearer, immedi-

barrel shotgun, swapping one cap.
Whitworth then dismounted and
drew his pistol; Murdock wheeled
and fed. inc. Murdoch then re-
marked he would do the fighting,
presented and shot at Whltworth
once with a pistol. Whitworth then
fired tour shots successfully at John,
killing him.
Whitworth was arrested and tried
