promises of more tonight.
Major PENIS campmeeting at Will
low Springs, in the eastern part of
this county, is attracting many peo-
pie. Sunday the crowd was i'm
mense, and much interest was man
ifested. Sunday night, during Major
PENIS discourse, he took occasion to
refer to the Campbellite doctrine in
an unfriendly spirit, when lady OF
that faith arose and undertook to re-
ply to him. Major Penn quoted from
theBible that W woman should hold her
tongue in public, etc., and the lady
took her seat. Her husband then
arose and made some remarks, but
was also squelched by the major.
Then Mr.. Kennedy, leading
Campbellite, arose and challenged
Major Penn to a debate on the ques-
ton, but the major refused. and
stated that he was there to preach,
and those who did not like his way
of talking, could withdraw.

ing wound that must have caused death
instantly. He was well known in this
city, and, for some time, has been en-
gagged in getting out wood In the cedar
brakes west of the city and hauling it to
town. On Friday morning he was seen
at his place on Barton's creek, about nine
miles from town, by his teamster. Martin
Walshack, who testified that at that hour
he looked pale and seemed excited about
something. Martin left him and pro-
.ceeded to town with load

the wood camp about 4 O'Clock in the
morning, found Mr.. Leschman lying in
his tent as if asleep. He happened TO

AIexander's Medicines.

For number of years the compromising
and manufacturing of Alexander's medi-
cines>has been quietly carried on in this
city. AT first il was on a small scale, but
as their reliable curative qualities be-
came known the demand rapidly increas-
ed, and bids fair to assume mammoth
proportions, and the proprietor has found
it necessary to devote himself exclusively
to their manufacture. The remedies are
not quack compounds made of inferior
and cheap drugs, but are reliable agents
prepared from formulas that embody the
experience of DR.. j. t. Alexander ac-
quired during more than thirty-ive years
devoted to the practice of medicine. DR..
Alexander, the originator of these cele-
brated medicines, was resident of this
city for long number of years, and no
man stood higher in the estimation of the
entire community. His high reputation
for probity and skill in medical science is
sufficient guarantee as to the purity and
efficacy of the remedies that bear his
name, and which he successfully used in
his practice for a long number of years.
IL is safe to say that the science of medi-
cine and chemistry have never produced
healing agents more reliable and mastery
In their curative powers for the diseases
for which they are recommended. They
are sure and rapid in their action, and
never fail, when the directions are care
fully followed, to strike at the root of the
disease and restore the sufferer to vlgor
and health. Many of the most reliable
citizens of this city, county and section of
the state have used the medicines in their
families, and have publicly testified to
their reliable and rapid curative quail
ties, They are now put up by Mr.. N. j.
Alez1hder, an experienced druggist, who
uses none but the best and purest drugs.
These remedies are among the most pop
ular family medicines put up anywhere,
and are meeting with good sales VIII ereever
introduced, and no drug store is complete
without them on the shelves.

The Mccormick Telescope.

The Richmond Dispatch gives
some facts with reference TO the
Leander Mccormick telescope, de-
rived from an official source, which
will interest our readers. They have
already been informed that on the
30th of June the society of alumni
of the. university of Virginia
turned over to the rector and
visitors of the university the funds
collected through their agency. In
their communication to the visitors
the officers of the society announced
that Mr.. Leander j. Mccormick had
determined TO build an observatory
for his telescope at O cost Of SIS, 900,
gift of the fifty thousand dollar
telescope /; and that Mr.. Vanderbilt
had sent his generous gift of $4,000
to be used in the best interests Of the
university, expressing the wish that
his name be not connected with his
gift. This $4,000 will be set aside
as a distinct astronomical working
endowment fund, while the $4,000
subscribed by the friends and alumni
of the university will form the en-
dOwment of the Astronomical pro-
fessorship. Summing up the above
gifts, il will be seen that the whole
amounts to q sum of $4,000 in
equipment and endowment added
to the university.
