The project for national agricultural ex- hibition at Louisville, Kentucky, is one that ought to receive the hearty cooperation of all agricultural associations throughout the country. The scheme proposes to inaugurate the first of series of other State competitive displays of agricultural, horticultural and mineral products with the live stock and the lumber of every State and territory. If it could be carried out as planned it would be a magnificent thing for the agricultural inter ests of the country.
 General Durbin Ward, of Ohio, is not afraid to wrestle with the English language. Here is & beautiful specimen of his efforts: Jackson, when he SAW the devils of plutoc- racy mocking the rights of the people, hurled the Ithuriel spear of his veto at the vitals of monopoly, and it stood revealed as an ugly harpy, covering from that day to this under the eagle eye of Democracy. He ran the ploughshare of reform into the sterile, fal- low ground of lazy sinecures, and fertilized the fields of office by new sunlight and air.
 Governor Robie. of Maine, is 8 firm be- liever in woman suffrage. In his message to the legislature this year he says: By innum- erable deeds of noble conflict on every field of moral, intellectual and social effort, woman has won equal honors with the other sex and established by works her right to just rec ognition and equality which selfish rule has heretofore prevented. Intelligence of the citizen is the only true basis of suffrage, and if equality is assured let us not ignore it's logical consequences, but give to woman all the rights of citizenship.
 London clerks who have their dinner pro- yided for them On the premises of their e1n- pIoyers seem to fare well. The insurance clerks, for instance, have their choice of sev eral sorts of meat, fish when it is in season, vegetables, bread and pudding, for I'd, and are allowed an hour in which to eat their meal Many an American girl who earns her living by writing and copying would think herself fortunate if her salary should be in- creased until she could have daily dinner of that description, much more if she could have it at less than S1 a week.

Secretary Will DeGrange, of the Zou-
ayes, paid visit to jones' Spring.
They reached their destination about

marked on it for the Martinsburg and
Hampshire grade. After driving over
stumps and hills, and upsetting twice,
the trio found the long looked for road
and came home at two-forty gait.
Will says he saw several ghost; Frank

Mr.. Jas. w. Strong was taken very SER

and by unremitting attention, during
the whole of Friday night, succeeded in
relieving Mr.. Strong of his sufferings.
The patient, although much weakened

symptoms very closely resembled those
of cholera, but that there is no cause for
alarm, but it should serve to make per-

to you. That is right-sit on my knee.
want to say something about the way
you have spoken to your little brother,
this morning. He loves you, my son.
Yesterday when you fed on the pave
ment he cried as though bis heart would
break. He didn't mean to cut your
whip. Did you ever think how you
would miss him il he was to go away ?
Poor little fellow, last night he slept
very little-coughing all the time. l
think he will not live long. One of
these mornings when you go to his lit
tie bed he will not greet you with warm
kisses. The little heart will be still,
and the little blue eyes closed. Then
you will kneel down and kiss his cold
cheeks and lips and cry when you think
how unkindly you speak to him. You
will wish him alive again to pull in his
little wagon, or to romp with in the
garden. Johnnie, be good to your little
brother Don't scold him don't tease
him but treat him like brother should.
Then, when the angels call him away,
and yon see his little playthings in out
of-theway- places, you will be, oh, so
glad that you have been good to him.
Never mind, now; don't cry. / know
you love baby Willie. Yes, it would
be nice and sweet, so run right down
stairs and kiss him, my child

Is not new claimant for popular conf

saving the lives Of the third generation
who have come into being since II was
first offered to the public.
There is not household In which this
Invaluable remedy has once been IN
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not person
who has ever given It proper trial
for any throat or lung disease sllscep-
tible Of cure, who has not been made
well by It.
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Larnygitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. IL II a
medicine that only requires TO be taken IN
small doses, is pleasant TO the taste, and IL
needed In every house where there are
children, as there is nothing so good as
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL for treat
ment of Group and Whooping Cough.
These are all plain facts, which can be
verified by anybody. and should be re-
membered by everybody.
