Is Your Blood Pure L?

Now this is an important question,
for without pure and wholesome blood
there can be no perfect health, and with
out good hes.lth life is a mere burden
and a waste. For impure blood the
best medic ne known is ROSADALlS.
1t is the great Southern time tried and
true Remedy, and may be implicitly re-
lied on when everything else fails.
Take it in tie Spring time especially,
for the impure secretions of the blood
incident to that season of the year; and
take il at all times for Cancer, Screfula,
Liver Complaints, Weakness, Boils,
Tumors, Sweliings, Skin Disc SEES, Ma
iaria and the thousand ills that come
from impure blood.
Talking about the Liver, we presume
that i'll temper is more often caused by
a disordered liver than anything else.
To insure a. cheerful disposition take
ROSADALIS, the Great Southern Rem
edy, which will remove the prime cause
and restore the mind to its natural equl-
lib ium.

The widow of ex-Gov. Jewell, of
Connecticut, died on the Goth, at the
residence of her son-in-law, Mr.. A.
NJ. Dodge, East Thirty fourth street,
New York. Her physician said ::
"..Mrs. Jewell died of what is senti-
mentally called a broken heart; that
is, she died through nervous exhaus-
ton, induced through loss of sleep,
lack of nourishment, and grief, which
weakened the action of her heart. !"
The death of VIM. E. Dodge, on the
9th of February, deeply grieved
Mrs. Jewell, and the death of her
husband, only two days later, COM
pletely Frustrated her. She was in
her Both year of age.

DISTRICT CONFERENCE. a-..r
ROSE HILL, Virginia, Feb. &c, 1888.
To the Editor Of The MOrristown Gazette:
Situated in the beautiful Valley o.
PowePs, midway between Cumberland
Gap and JonesVille, and within a mile
Of the almost perpendicular wall of the
Cumberland mountain which shelters
our valley IN the north, is situated the
settlement of Rose Hill, amid natural
scenery unsurpassed anywhere within
the limits of the Cumberland range.
Here we are in full view of the great
| clift-the White Rock that sur
mounts, as coronal of stone, the brow
of the mountain several miles, towering,
for long distance, to the hight of five
or six hundred feet, and from whose top
the eye looks off upon an ocean Of noun
tains, rolling its mighty pillows far
away sSuthward into Tennessee and
northward into Kentucky, till the eye
grows dim and vision fails and the
mountains blue is mingled with the
azure of the heavens.
This is one of the most beautiful val
leys of Southwest Virginia, and destin-
ed to become, when furnished with rail-
road facilities, one of the most desira-
BILE localities in this whole mountain re-
gion.
Our pure breezes bear health and
vigor on their wings, and life's sweet
est elixir gushes from the earth in our
crystal fountains that sparkle every
where.
1t is needless to say that our people
here take lively interes: in the Caro-
lima, Cumberland Gap and Chicago
railroad, which we hope to see complet-
ed soon, and which will, no doubt, be
of incalculable benefit in the Develop
ment of our vast material resources.
Our iron ores, which have been pro-
nounced among the finest in the world ,
are inexhaustible; while just beyond
the mountains, but a few miles distant,
lie coal fields richer than those of Penn
sylvania. Build the railroad, and in
five years Cumberland Gap will be an
other Birmingham. Already our citi-
zens are talking OF Macadamizsd road
from Jonesville to the Gap.
Our county has fine educational IA
cilities. We have near one hundred
free schools running five months in the
year, two colleges aud three or four
high schools, all well attended by the
youth of our own county and the ad-
Joining counties of Kentucky and Tent
nessee. Cumberland College, at this
place, is in fiourishing condition, with
an enrolment of about one hundred and
fifty students, to date, the present ses-
sion. The Masons, who have control
of the institution, will spare no effort to
make it an honor to their order and to
the community in the midst of which it
is situated.
The Morristown District Conference
viii be held at the Methodist Church,
near this place, on the 18th of April, by
Bishop Wilson, of Baltimore. The peo-
pie of the community will no doubt en-
terrain the conference and visitors on
that occasion in a manner worthy of
their pr0Verbisl hospitality. We would
like to have THE GAZETTE man with US
at that time. Couldn't he come

AN Old LANDMARK GONE.

The large brick building on the south
side of the rRilrOad, az Strawberry
Plains, which burned down Tuesday
night, was the last "Reminiscences of the
old Strawberry Plains College, 4 well
known institution of learning way back
in the ante-bellum days, largely patron
lied by many prominent East Tennes-
scans The building destroyed Was
Used as the boarding house 10 the col
lege, the latter being swept away dur
ing the war. IL was fSuLded, we lcarn,
by the Stringfelds, more than forty
years ago, and for many years was con-
sidered one Of the leading educational
institutions Of this section. The late
Rev. J. III. BTuner, was for many years
president OF the college, which prosper
ed and received q liberal patronage un-
der his direction. The boarding house,
except the southwest portion, was to-
tally destroyed. IL bad previously been
used as a school building, and the fire,
Il Is thought, originated In The upper
portion Of the house. Its disappearance
will recall TO a number of our older
citizens many pleasant recollections Of
their earlier years.
The above Is taken from the Knox
Vile CRrOAials Of March 3d. Rev. IL.
Bruner who is mentioned as one Of the
presidents OF the college, is now Presi-
dent OF Hiwassee College ia Monroe
county, Tenn The college Mt Straw
berry Plains was for many years con-
ference school of the HolstOn Confer
ence NJ. +. Church. South. Rev. c. ID.
Smith, Rev. G. Fulton, Rev. David
Sullins and Rev J. q. Kennedy were
from time 60 time connected with the
school. The school passed into the
hands Of joint stock company in 1859
or 1890.
