1882, has been twice elected and served
with distinction as State Senator from
the eth Senatorial District, composed OF
the counties of Nash. franklin. and
Wilson. He is a gentleman we'll and
favorably known, of fine appearance, a
good speaker. of winning manners. and
is universally popular. As TO his eih-
cheney and capability we have but 10 re-
fer 10 his record as n student a. the
University of y. c.; as a soldier IN Gen.
Lees army. and since that time as a
citizen, trustee of the State University.
State Senator and other positions OF

1t is proper to state to our readers that
the failures at New York are not natural;
that is, they do not flow from hard times,
or anything of that kind. They are pure
ly speculative. The stock-gamblers had
taken reckless risks, and borrowed more
than they could repay. When Grant

l,ndor demanded his money and the boz
rowers could not pay. That is all.

Such conduct is appreciated. No man

his oath, TO try to serve his people to the
utmost of his ability and one feature Of
such service is to answer all letters
of inquiry, attend to all reasonable re-
quests concerning public matters, study
the necessities Of his constituents in re-
%lations to public facilities and promptly
distribute among them all documents, or
other matter, which have been paid for
by public funds. Gen. Cox's course was
endorsed by a majority of 700 ahead of
the Democratic State ticket in the last
campaign.

MOTHERS
FRIEND!

This invaluable prep
aration is truly a tri-
umph of scientific skill,
and no more inestimable
benefit was ever bestow-
ed on the mothers Of the
world.
~- 1t not only short
ems the time oflabor and
lessons the intensity of
pain, but, better than
all, it greatly diminishes
the danger to life Of both
mother and child, and
leaves the mother in a
condition highly favor
able to speedy recovery,
and far less liable to
flooding, convulsions,
and other alarming
symptoms incident to
lingering and painful
labor. Its truly Won
derful efficacy in this re-
spect entities the MOTH
ER's FRIEND to be rank
ed as one of the life-sav-
ing appliances given to
the world by the discov-
cries Of modern science.
From the nature of
the case it will of course
be understood that we
cannot publish certifi-
Gates concerning this
Remedy without wound
ing the delicacy of the
writer's. Yet we have
hundreds OF such testi-
monials on file, and no
mother who has once
used it will ever again
be without itin her time
of trouble.
