The blood Is the foundation OF
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head.
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it will
net blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

Colfax, La, June %, loo1'
We, the undersigned patrons and
trustees of the Colfax school, feeling
that an injustice has been done the
Rev. r. II. Prosser, teacher of said
school, by the publication of an arti-
Gle 10 the last issue of the CHRONICLE,
take this opportunity of informing all
persons concerned, that, whatever
dissatisfaction may have grown ont
of the management of the Colfax
school, is due entirely to our advice,
and should not reflect upon Mr.. Pros
ser. It was well understood at the
time he was employed that he should
have the assistance of the most adj
vanced scholars (who are our own
children) to teach the smaller ones.
This seems to be the chief cause OF
complaint. The unusual hours refer.
ed to have no meaning, except III
their literal sense, as full time has
been given each day. We fully ex-
onerate Mr.. Prosser from any blame
that might possibly attach to the ru-
mors given, and believe him to be an
honorable. high-mipded, christian
gentleman, who would not accept pay
without having rendered just services.
We further ask the CHRoNrcLE to place
the blame where it properly belongs.

From the above, we suppose the
trustees desire to shoulder all blame
themselves. The question now rests
between the three trustees and the six
patrons who first made complaint,
and the point of difference appears
to be, whether the 6rst were right in
making the agreement entered into
or the latter are right in objecting to
the arraneement.-ED

Hon. Edmund SeT,on.

Mr.. Editor The many readers Of
your valuable paper have doubtless
observed that Mason county is likely
to present quite a number of candi
dates for the Congressional nomina
ton, and if there should be dispo
sition on part the of the Convention tc
award the honor to this county, there
will be no difficulty III selecting an
acceptable standard.bearer out Of
such an abundance of good material.
1t is also worthy of special mention
that, however much the gentlemen
spoken of may desire this position,
their department thus far has been
in conformity to the old time custom
of allowing their friends to manage
the matter in their own way. This
course can not be too highly com.
mended as the people are becoming
heartily tired Of being button-holed
by men seeking nominations. So
long as such propriety as we have
indicated, is observed, good feeling
will prevail, and we shall meet in
Convention in spirit of harmony,
each candidate having his friends,
but at the same time willing that the
vote of the county should be cast for
any one of our citizens whose
strength elsewhere would entitle him
to the undivided support of his own
county. This is large county and
it has been a long time since she re
ceiyed any recognition from the
party in the way of political honors,

The Beneilt or Railroads.

What Che railroads have done for
this country is graphically and con.
oisely told ina recent Issue Of the
Railway Record, published in Allan
ia, Georgia. After showing the won
derful development everywhere pre-
sented wherever railway lines have
passed, and contrasting it with the
wilderness and well nigh insuperable
obstacles to progress existing in sec
tions of the country yet untraversed
by those great iron promoters of civ
ilization, the Record asserts that
"half the cost in money Of travel, and
seyen-eighths Of the time are saved,
in effect frightening in many fold
the duration and increasing the ca.
pacities OF life, The products of the
farm are now worth as much at the
farmers door as they previously were
after being hauled a long distance by
his teams. Land two hundred miles
from the lakes is worth from $40 TO
to SIS an acre, A thrifty farmer can
become rich in q few years by the
sale of the surplus Of his farm,
which, but for the railroads, he could
not sell at all. The handsome farms,
the fine school houses, the elaborate
churches, the comfortable dwellings,
and thickly-planted villages Of the
whole Northwest, are the direct re-
suits of the railroads, which has
made every county accessible and
convenient for settlement. There
are thirty-two million acres Of land
in Wisconsin, which, taken as a
whole, have been increased FIVE dol.
lars per acre, or s160,00O,000 in the
aggregate. This land is assessed at
$500, 100000, which is less than half
its actual value, and it might also
be said that every dollar of addition.
al value above ten dollars per acre
has been placed upon it by the rail
roads, which carry its productions Of
grain, stock, lumber and manufac.
lures to distant markets, which they
would never have reached but for the
iron highway"
