SAMARITAN NERVINE

Cures Alcoholism, Drunkenness and the habit
of Opium Eating. These degrading habits are
by far the worst evils that have ever befallen
suffering humanity. Thousands die annually
from these nOxious drugs. The drunkard drinks
liquor not because he likes it, but TO- the pleas
ure of drinking and treating his friends, little
thinking that he is on his road to ruin. Like
the Opium Eater, he first the drug in
small quantities as harmless antidote. The
soothing influence of the drug takes strong hold
upon its victim, leading him on to his own de-
struction. The habits of Opium Eating and
Liquor Drinking are precisely what eating is to
alimentiveness, as over eating first in1ames the
stomach, which redoubles its cravings until il
parayZes both the stomach and appetite. So
every drink of liqUo! or dose of opium, instead
of satisfying, only adds to its fierce fires, until il
consumes the vital force and then itself. Like
the gluttonous tape worm, it cries, ''Give. give,
give!" but never enough until its own rnpacity
devours itself. Samaritan Nervine gives ins tant
relief in all such cases. 1t produces sleep,
quiets the nerves, builds up the nervous sys-
TEN, and restores body and mind to a healthy
condition.

AFTER THE ADJOURNMENT.

Now the country legislator
Raketh out biz little satchel
From the closet in his bedroom.
Rolleth up his extra dickey,
Extra collar, extra necktie,
Extra cuffs. and extra stockings,
Packs them IN his little satchel,

Where the brooks go ripping seaward,
Where the peach crop can't he trusted;
Where the squash and yellow pumpkin,

Grow TO sizes so enormous,
Find their way into the sanctums
Ofthe editors OF papers,
And are duly noticed therein-.-

To the country store he hastens,

Where the clerk has hung the sign out;

Gather round him then the voters
OF the town and Of the county,
And he tells them all the story
OF the session that has ended;
Tells them of the great men gathered
In the House and In the Senate;
Tells them how he passed the dog law
For their county, and the sheep law,
And the fence law, aud the gate law,
Till they think him, too, great man,
And make up their minds that they will
send him back 10 the next session.

A Destructive Fire.

PIrTsBURe, Pa, May S.-The most
destructive fire that has occurred in
this city since the memorable riots of
1877, took place to-day. About
1920 o'clock smoke was seen issuing
from the interior of the massive stone
courthouse, and upon investigation
it was found that the entire inside of
the building was in flames. A gen>
eral alarm was at once sounded and
in few minutes the fire departments
of Pittsburg and Alleghaney were at
work, but the flames had gained so
much headway that the fremen's eff
forts were almost futile and by 4
o'clock all that was left was the stone
walls. The fire created intense ex-
element on account of the Jail be-
ing attached to the burning building.
Fears were entertained that the
prisoners would escape. There was
no occasion for alarm, however, as
the jail was not in danger and close
guard was keep over the inmates who
were not aware that tho fire was in
progress near them. As soon as the
fire was discovered a number of
officials and others forced their way
INTO the burning building and sue
ceeded in saving nearly all of the
records and law library. While ems
deavoring to save the records in the
jury room and commissioners Office,
Hurry McDormot, grandson of Jury
Commissioner Hogan, was killed by
falling glass. Several fremen mar
rowly escaped death by burning and
a number were more or less injured
by falling debris, but the accident to
MIR. McDermot is believed to be the
only one resulting fatally. The
building destroyed was of stone and
originally cost about 100000 and
many thousand have been expended
in improvements. The insurance on
the burned portion is $4,000.

agriculture was the paramount in

Henry Carper, well-to-do, intelligent, !,
and respected colored man of this city,
head waiter in charge of the dining room at
the Hattie House, has just finished and oc-
cupied new residence on lot owned by
him on the south side of Main street, be-
tween Gay and the Bell House. The
house is a two-story frame building, well
built, nnd finished off, both outside and in,
in good, substantial and attractive style,
making cosy and comfortable residence.
The new house has replaced an old, un-
slightly and delapidated shanty, and is an
ornament to that part of town. 1t is to be
hoped that the owners of surrounding
premises will come up to the standard set by
him, and that this part of town will brush
up and take on new life.
Henry, in the erection of this house, has
set an example which is certainly worthy of
emulation and imitation, by his fellow
colored men especially. 1t is an illustration
of what might be accomplished by many OF
them, who are able, if they only had the
inclination, to exercise some taste and pride
in the construction and location of thei,
residences

To to the Land League of America.
The execrabie and cowardly assas-

and is especially painful and abhor,

We denounce the awful crime, and

use every effort to bring its perpe>

detestation of the fendish act, which

The Fountain Head Concert,

The Fountain Head Concert.
The unusual press upon our columns for
the past two days, has prevented a notice of
the concert given at Fountain Head Church
last Thursday night. The concert was given
under the management our worthy towns
man and experienced musician, Mr.. NJ. A.
Williams, and was participated in by the
favorite Williams parlor orchestra, one of
the most accomplished and proficient
musical organizations in the city, assisted
by some of Knoxville's very best vocal ia
lent. A programme of attractiveness, con-
tanning some rare gems of instrumental and
vocal music, was rendered in faultless style,
and it is perfectly safe to characterize the
concert in all respects, as grand success.
There was an overwhelming attendance.
The city people, ladies and gentlemen, turn
ed out wonderfully well, there being
some forty or fifty vehicles OF
various kinds, besides a great
number on horseback. Besides there was
large turnout of the country people, and
the church would not near begin to hold
them all The bright moonlight night af-
forded delightful drive for those returning
to the city, and the occasion was immensely
enjoyed by all.
In a financial point of. view the occasion
was also complete success. The object
was to raise funds to pay off debt on the
church. The amount required was raised,
and snug little sum. over and above real.
lied. Mr.. Williams and his efficient coadja
tors in the affair deserve very much credit
for the Growing success throughout.
