A Model Newspaper.

From the Hare de Grace Republican
With its last issue, the Westminster Adro-
cate entered upon its nineteenth year. The
44dcocate is a model newspaper. 1t has, de-

with rare good judgment, while its typo
graphical appearance is all that can be de-
sired
Andrew Taylor was hanged last Friday at
London, Tennessee for the murder of Sheriff
Cate and his deputy year ago. He refused
minister, appeared perfectly callous, and,
after the Sheriff had adjusted the moose, said,
with a fierce curse: 81 could drink your
hearts blood" Andrew was the the survi-
vor of two brothers who boarded railroad
/ train in which their brother John was being
taken to Knoxville for trial, and, after muir
dering the Sheriff and deputy having the
prisoner in charge effected their escape.

sisting arrest; John died in few months
from exposure and privation, and Andrew

A fire on Tuesday almost completely de-

postoffice and two newspaper offices, was de-

from the burning buildings. VIII Roberts,

The dissatisfaction of the students of the

occasioned by the admission of Oscar M. At

Two notable events have happened in the
political world since our last-the organic a.
ton of the first branch Of the Baltimore City
Council, and the end of the Allison recount
of the ballots for Clerk of the Superior Court.
The world does move, doubt it who will.
Major Allison and his friend came at last to
realize how little ground they had for all their
clamor about fraud, and that Mr.. Bond was
fairly elected. People in the rural districts
are beginning to realize that something more
than loud and persistent clamor is needed to
sustain the charge when frand and corruption
are alleged by the average Baltimore polite
ian. Dr. r. F. Burton, fusion democrat, was
chosen President, and all the other officers
are from the ranks of the regulars,

THE WEAK AND THE IMPURE.

The merry little mountain brook, as it light
ly dances over the rocks and sparkles in the
sunshine on its way down to the river, is pure
and clean. 1t is active; therefore, it is
healthy. 1t is vigorous therefore, it resists
impurity.
But the sluggish pool, where the current is
not strong enough to keep the water in mo-
ton, is stagnant and foul. Dirt and rubbish
are thrown into it, and stay there. Impuri
ties and vile odors make it a breeder of dis
ease and an object to be avoided.
When the blood is strong and rich and red,
and vigorously courses its accustomed rounds
through arteries and veins, the system is hearty
and healthy.
When the blood is thin and poor and weak,
impurities and deflements creep into it, and
it has no strength to cast them out. Then the
system runs down.
Brown Iron Bitters contain the only prep
aration of iron which can enrich the blood,
and make it pure, vigorous, and healthy. A
dollar a bottle, at the nearest druggists.

If the people of the present day, both old
and young, are not progressing in science,
art and literature, it is not the fault of the
publishers of f'he Century and ST. Nicholas.
The December issues of these magazines are
profusely illustrated, while the articles are
instructive and entertaining. So Nicholas is

For the Democratic Adeoeate

Messrs. Editors: Touching the veracity of
one of the parties charged with having written
the Dunkard Letter. please let the public
know that Mr.. A. H. Huber declared in the
presence Of several reliable witnesses, in the
Postoffice at Westminster, one day last week,
that if he had written the letter he should de-
ny it and if his denial were not sufficient and
his reputation were at stake, he would not
trust himself, he feared that he should swear
to his denial His want of confidence in his
own moral courage may explain hisunwilling
ness to believe other men declarations under
oath. His reference to the wounded snake in
his editorial in the last Sentinel was probably
suggested by his own condition, and in his
daily conversation he constantly carries out
the smile. JUSTICE.
