PARENTS READ THIS.

Nine.tenths of all the sickness OF
childhood is caused by worms.
Thousands of children die yearly
from worms in the stomach, that
could be saved by the timely use of
PARKER'S SANTONINE WORM
.LOZENGES. They have saved
thousands of children. They drive
out the worms without pain--they
cleanse the stomach, and make the
little ones bloom and blossom as
the rose. They are the finest and
best medicine ever made. Thou
sands of parents all over the land
use nothing but PARKER'S Lozen-
ges. Try them in preference to
anything else for worms. Try
PARKER'S Lozenges. But moth
ing but X Give no 9TH

The many friends in this section
of Mr.. George Murphy, formerly
a partner of Mr.. Oscar Price Of this
place, under the firm name Of Muir
ply Bros. & Price, will learn with
deep regretO Of the sad mental Attic
tiOn that has befallen him, necessi-
tating his confinement ID the insane
asylum of'Texas, where he had pre-
viously been and purchased proper
~, and engaged in the mercantile
business. His physical powers
were not equal to the spirit Of in
dustry that possessed him, and the
relaxation of his mental faculties
was no doubt the result Of over
work coupled with ill-health, and
win likely prove only temporary, as
his friends devoutly hope.

IcOMMUNICATED.l
A Good Thing, Long and
Much Needed,

We are truly glad to announce
to your readers that our enterpris.
ing citizens are adding another link
to their chain of prosperity, in the
way Of establishing a FREE PUBLIC
SCHOOL for white males inRipley!-
They already have an excellent
house, beautifully located; the play
grounds we'll set in the evergreen,
Lezpedezer, and all shaded with
the native forest oak. No place
could be more lovely or better
adapted than this beautiful spot to
the purpose intended. Nature
seems to have dictated and set
apart this place for youthful sports
founded in childIike simplicity.
A large amount has already been
contributed to this good object; and
tits now a fixed fact that we are to
have a frst class male school, in
charge of first class teachers, where
our young men and yoAth can get
a first class educAtion-which is so
necessary for their future useful
ness and happiness.
This school will be under the
control Of pure hearted, liberal.
minded and energetic men, who
will be selected for that purpose.
l am authorized to say that board
can be obtained at very low rates.
The old trite maxim, Omitted we
stand" is the keynote to this good
enterpEise-not a dissenting voice.

How Happiness is Secured.

Happiness is the absence of pain or
annoyance, and wherever there is pain
there is disease. A pain in the lower
portion of the body indicates a disor-
der ofsome kind. If there is any odor
or coler or deposit in the urine, it
means disease, and requires attention
at once. We have heard many of our
friends speak of the remarkable power
of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure, and are convinced there is moth
ing so certain and valuable for all dis
orders ofthe urinary system, both male
and female.

THE SUN FOR 1881.

Everybody reads The Sun. In the
editions of this newspaper throughout
the year to come everybody will find:
1. All the worlds news, SO presented
that the reader will get the greatest
amount of information with the least
improbable expenditure of time and
eyesight. TIE Sun long ago discov-
cred the golden mean between redun-
dant fulness and unsatisfactory brevity.
IL. Much of that sort of news which
depends less upon its recognized i'm
portance than upon its interest to man
kind. From morning to morning The
Sun prints a continued story of the
lives of real men and women, and Of
their deeds, plans, loves, hates, and
troubles. This story is more varied
and more interesting than any romance
that was ever devised.
III. Good writing in every column,
and freshness, originality, accuracy,
and decorum in the treatment Of every
ubject.
Nv. Honest comment. The Suns
habit is to speak out f~earlessly about
men and things.
V. Equal candor in dealing with
each political party, and equal readi-
ness to commend what is praiseworthy
orto rebuke what is blamable in Demo
crat or Republican.
VI. Absolute independence of parti-
san organizations, but unwavering 10y
atty to true Democratic principles
THE Sun believes that the Government
which the constitution gives US is a
good one to keep. Its nOtioh of duty
is to- resist to its utmost power the eff.
forts of men in the Republican party
to setup another form Of. government
in place of that which exists. The
gear 1881 and the years immedi
ately following will probably decide
this supremely important contest
THE SUN believes that the victory will
be with the people as against the Rings
for monopoly, the Rings for plumber,
and the Rings for imperial power.
Our terms are as follows.

The Dress of Workingmen.

1t WAS once very easy at first sight,
i'll Scotland especially, for an ordinary
observer - recognize the building or
other skilled workman by his every
day costume or working dress, but it
has for some years past become more
and more difficult to identify one class
of workmen from another, except when
witnessed at their work, or found in the
streets bearing or carrying some instru-
ment of their respective crafts. So
completely have skilled artisans thrown
off the once distinctive signs of their
ancient calling in apparel and other
obseryances that it takes one acquainted
with their trade, habits aud manners to
identify them with any certainty.
Building and other artisans have most
foolishly cast aside some sensible Gus
toms and habits which they would do
we'll TO revive wholly, or subject to
notifications. The mason, carpenter,
joiner, bricklayer, plasterer, painter.
and those in other branches wore once
distinctive caps and aprons, and tbeir
working clothes varied. particularly in
trousers and vests. Carpenters, ma
sons and bricklsyers wore either fustian,
moleskin or corduroy trousers. or some
other kindred stuff, and for the protect
ion of their working dress and other
useful ends they also wore an apron.
We 90 not infer that all workmen are
ashamed of their craft, but too many
of tho present day artisans act in q
manner as if they wished that nobody
should recognized that they were me-
chanics.

Tho Origin of Nations.

Tho Scrbners have issued the vol
ume with the above title. 1t is a col
lection of essays by George Rawlinson
which aims to refuto the notion that
tecent advances il science and histOri-
cal research have made it more difficult
today than it WAS hundred years ago
to accept tho Mosaic account of the
creation OF the world and the early
history of mankind. He holds thnt
there is no reason to believe that any
civilization dates farther back than
twenty-five hundred years before Christ.
He denies that the primitive condition
of man was one Of savngery, and lie
asserts the fact of degeneration in hu-
man affairs instead of the much talked
Of theory of ascending evolution. III
other words he maintains the essential
truth of the narrative of the Garden of
Eden and the fall OF Adam. The author
seeks furthermore to counteract the
modern tendency to limit the inspira-
ton of tho Biblo to matters Of religion
and morality while accepting it's state
ments of scientific facts as liable to
error. He stoutly maintains that no
part of Scripture is incomplete but
that every iot and title reflects the
absolute wisdom and perfections of
its Omniscient Author! Home Jour
