The complicated diseases brought on by
intense study, thought, care, anxiety, etc !,
are often of the most serious nature. Heed
such symptoms as loss of memory, universal
lassitude, heart disease, kidney complaints,
liver troubles and a general breaking down
of health and strength. When thus afflicted,
when the least exertion causes great fatigue,
when life seems a burden, use the reliable
strengthening tonic, Browns Iron Bitters. It
will afford you sure relief.
DIR. w. ii. Lee, Conyers, Ga, says
Browns Iron Bitters is good medicine and
many are using it in this place"

Female Telegraphists I'm England.

The experiment of employing women as
telegraph clerks. which has been fairly sue
cessfa in this country, says the London Pail
Mall Gazette. was begun twenty years ago in
Finland. NJ Tolsey, at that time minister
of posts and telegraphs, admitted them on
trial for Il term of three years, before the end
of which the success was evident that the
experiment was extended in Russia. In 1874
it was fixed that there should not be more
than 80 per cent OF women employed in post
and telegraph Offices and today about 200
women earn their living by this employment.
An agitation is now on foot for providing
these female telegraphsts with pensions, and
steps are being taken which will insure for
them a small sum after they have been en-
ployed for a certain number of years or in
case of sickness.

/ CATION, and disposition on the part OF a
certain Juror to bulldoze one OF the wit

Edward Brugh and Charles Bayne, the

WINGED that he is right.
During the trial al the case of the Com

The Family Reunion.

The Lexington Gazette. In reproducing
a paragraph from the Dispatch, says that
we are :. eyerlas.ingly barbecuing fatted
calf for returning prodigais," and then
adds:
"Thc Dispatch was quite bold TO say so
much for the boys who have always staid
nj home. They do not desire 10 have any
row with their brothers who have been of
frolicking, and are quite willing they should
return to the family home. But we do
think they ought to have some say as TO
when and where the fatted calf is to be
served. Just before the spring election,
10 our MUD. is not O convenient time to
have the feast. The stock is lean after q
hard winter, and little summer pasturage
will be the better for il and make IT more
palatable after awhile. We want family
reunion-but--after complaining"
In other words. the Gazette was opposed
TO an early convention of the Democratic
party; and its wish was gratified by the
action OF the State Central Committee IN
postponing the Convention until July.
We estimate the numbers OF papers on
the ono and the other side OF this question
as about equal.

FEBRUARY ID, 1888.
The marriage this afternoon OF Miss Ma
rian 5. Woody to Mr.. X. {. Lockerman,
formerly OF Richmond, but now OF this
city, attracted to the Baptist church bril-
liant assembage OF beauty ana fashion, and
perhaps one OF the largest audiences ever
gathered in that church to witness 4 mar
rage ceremony. The bride is the daughter
OF Captain james =. Woody, an old and
welI-known sea-faring gentleman OF our
southern waters. The groom is son OF
the late Mrs. J. L. Tyler, Of Richmond.
Mr.. Lockerman is very popular young
man among our town people, and is con-
nected with the firm OF a. L. Conquest "
Son. OF philadelphia, who have branch
house in this place. Promptly at the hour
OF Professor Bowering struck the first
notes of the grand wedding march,. The
wedding party entered the church in the
following order: Ushers, Mr.. W. +. Long
and :. f. Easturn, Lieutenant ii. W. Sha-
die and b. j. Marshall, \. G.. Lockcrman
and J. ID. Cobb then the bride and groom.
The Rev. 4. A. Dunaway united the two
as one. The party then returned to the
residence OF the brides parents, where
reception was held. The bride was very
handsomely dressed in garnet silk, and
wore white bouquet OF rvre flowers. The
presents were many and very handsome.
Extensive preparations are being made
by the Grays for the appropriate cele-
bration Of Washington'S birthday There
will be parade by the company in the

C0T-XTY.COURT DAY-OPISION AS TO REOR-
GANlZATIoS OF THE PARTY.
lCorresponGence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
ROCKINGHAM, VA, February u, 1883.
To-day was our County Court, but no
business OF consequence was transacted.
A large crowd was in attendance, but ut
most good order preyailed-no liquor-bars
i'm operation. People left early.
In cUaversing with leading men on the
Convention aud reorganization OF the Con-
scryative party l heard but one opinion
EXPRESSED. and that was that the party
ought TO be organized anew on broad and
the most liberal ground, so as to take in all
who agree on the great Federal issues, ana
TO make nominations for all the local 0ihces.
This is the only mode QI accomplishing
the great and patriotic purposes OF the
party.
our county chairman thinks we ought to
have Convention, not very large, or that
the Reorganization ought TO be effected in
some way 80 as to open the doors wide and
give the good and true men OF all shades
of opinion IN opportunity of taking part
with us in the approaching contest. Let
this be done and our success is assured !;
but il we neglect this the Radicals will be
certain to carry the State next fall, and it
will be easy TO foretell the result in 1884.
We have many good men who are not
willing to follow the Radical banner into
their camp. aud they are now anxious
TO get with their true friends; hut they are
now not in the party, and have no recog-
milton by its present organization. They
ought to be put in places OF trust, and they
viii work with more zeal than ever for our
success. Many tell me this, and their man
ner and conduct indicate their sincerity.
The people of color are all against us, and
will so remain, with few worthy excep-
tions. and they will be attended to in the
right way. >.

his election to the one he now holds was
altogether surprise to him.
