suacerine Womanhood.

Too much effort can not be made to bring
to the attention of suffering womanhood
the great value of Lydia E.. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound as a remedy for the
diseases of women, and perhaps nothing
is more effectual than the testimony of
those who lave been cured by it. Such an
one is the wife of General Barringer, of
Winston, N. c., and we quote from the
Generals letter as follows: "Dear Mrs.
Pinkham: Please allow me to add my
testimony to the most excellent medicinal
qualities of your Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. Barringer was treated for several
years for what the physicians called Leu.
corrhea and Prolapsus Uteri combined. I
sent her to Richmond, Va, where she re-
manned for six months under the treatment
of an eminent Physician without any
permanent benefit. She was induced to
try your medicine and after a reasonable
time commenced to improve and is now
able to attend to her business and consid-
ers herself fully relieved" General Bar
ringer is the proprietor of the American
Hotel, WINSTON N. c., and is widely known.l

-Four-car trains running so neal to-
gether that there is always one at every
station and one between each two sta
tions, are not sufficient to accommodate
the travel on the New York Elevated
Railway. Longer trains, which would
require heavier engines, would shake
the structure to pieces. Electricity is
believed to offer the only solution to the
difficulty. and a variety of experiments
are about to be made. Edison's plan is
to apply the propulsion through little
dynamos carried on the forward truck
of each car, all operated by the single
engineer at the front of the train. His
idea is to do away with the locomotive

When the shaft had been con-
structed to a height of $50 feet, one
morning when the workmen assembled
by the elevator they were surprised to
find Il cat at the top. The animal was
startled at their approach and jumped
upon the wall of the monument. One
of the men went toward it, and the cat,
seeing nc way of escape, jumped over
the side to the ground. Instead OF
being smashed to atoms, as the work.
men expected, upon reaching tho
ground, although evidently a little
stunned, it got up and started to run
away, when the watchman's dog caught
sight of it, and, Selling the cat by the
neck, killed it.-WaShington Star.

MIR. Jacobs, of Lexington, Tenn

Mr.. Jacobs, Of Lexington, Tenn,
exhibited recently a black terrier dog
that, for his peculiar and wonderful
taste for tacks and small scraps of iron.
perhaps has nc rival. The dog is six
years old, and it was about three years
ago that this strange appetite was dis
covered. He has been known to eat
two papers of tacks at one meal, and
devours them or any small piece of iron
with as much relish as other members
of the canine race would a bone. His
extraordinary diet has never had any
depressing effect on his health.

To the PubIic:

In view of the harmful results which
SO frequently attend the use of so-called
patent or proprietary cough syrups con
tanning morphia, opium and other
equally dangerous drugs, the under
signed, physicians of Maryland, take
pleasure in endorsing the official opin-
ions expressed by the Commissioner of
Health of Baltimore; DR.. Samuel X.
Cox, analytical chemist, of Washington,
and other authorities to the effect that
the RED STAR COUGH CURE is not only
a perfectly harmless, but at the same
time an original and most effective
remedy, and that it commends itself
alike for being entirely vegetable-free
from opiates, poisons and narcotics
and for its prompt efficacy, As demon

PHYSICIANS ADVICE.

If you are suffering from general de
b;lity, nervous prostration, sinking
spells, etc, superinduced by impure
blood, weak kidneys and liver, etc, do not
resort to alcoholic compounds, nor nse
remedies that cause too great activity
of the parts affected. 1t is far more wise
to use a mild Alternative like DR.. Guy.

pariila. This remedy contains nothing
injurious to the most delicate constftu-
ton, and its use gradually builds up and
strengthens, while diuretic and cathartic
compounds tear down, veal out and de
stroy.
DIR. Guysott's Yelloip Dock aud SdrsGpd-
rlla restores impaired or lost organic
functions to their normal condition, and
it invariably gives satisfaction to all who
use it.
Do not forget that any druggist will
procure the remedy for you, especially
when they find you will not be persuaded
to try some other preparation on which
they ms!ke more money. You will find
it's effect most wonderful. Your old
energy will return, your natural force
come back, and you will feel altogether q
new person, full of health, strength and
yigor. Former invalids speak highly OF
the preparation, and all acknowledge 1t
a perfect health restorer, especially in
diseases of a facilitating nature having
a tendency to poison and thin the blood,
thereby weakening the urinary and di-
gestive organs, and exhausting the
brain and nervous system.
RY@ Worn out and enfeebled con-
situations, suffering from dyspepsia,
impure blood, weak kidneys, nerv-
business, ETC., cdW be cured by
using this remedy. Take no other.

COTI ON PICKER

1t is reported that at Chattanooga.
a cotton picker has been invented,
by one Seers, which will cost only
$500 and will do the same work in a
day that IS good pickers will do.
We hope that is SO but we do not
yet believe that it is success.
We have read much Of these cot.
ton pickers, and we still believe that
a man with good fingers picking by
the hundred is the best machine for
that purpose that has been seen. Of
all the cotton pickers we think the
Mason machine Is in the first rank,
But we do not think that it has PROV
ed a success. 1t may be that it has
been tried and found worthy of being
Called cotton pickor but that is not
success. One of our citizens. Mr., b.
.. Savage, invented machine that
would be called a cotton picker,
and we suppose that there have been
hundreds of machines invented. We
have never seen the Mason picker
Hundreds of men have given their
time and talent to the task of 1nyent>
ing successful cotton picker and
just so many have failed. Trashy
cotton is not desired and it will be
hard to get any instrument to select
the cotton and not take along the
dead dried leaves VIII ich are on
every stalk of cotton where the boil
is open. There are many obstacles
in the way of perfecting a picker
1t would be good thing for every
neighborhood to have one, just as
every neighborhood now has whea,
thrasher, but, we think. farmers viii
have to be cOntented for a few more
years with the old plan.
Ee hope this Seers' machine will
prove complete success.
