A TERRIBLE SUFFERER FOR TWEEN

DoNsoLA, Uuion Co., ILL.,, April 10, 1888.
Dear Sir:-My wife has been victim
of the worse form of liver disease and con-
stipation of The bowels, so that she could
not rest at nights. She has been in this
condition about twenty years, during
whichitime she has tried a dozen doctors
and various remedies, all falling to give
her much relief. purchased bottle of
"ARoMANNA" and YOU have no idea what
relief she received from one bottle of the
medicine. 1t has regulated her bowels,
and she can rest better at nights, and
says she feels much better than for the
past twenty years. She would not be
without s'ARoMANA7 in the house for any
thing in the world. 1t is worth its weight
I'M gold. / would be glad if your medicine
could reach the hands Of all afflicted, for
it is a remedy that has been long needed.

school boy strikers.

Troy, N. ", April When the
ianitor arrived at the First ward pub
lie school this morning he found
large number of boys congregated on
the sidewalk, who told him that the
school building was not to be opened
until their demand for one session of
four hours was complied with. The
keyholes and locks were found filed
with mud, and it was necessary to
break open the doors and put on
new locks The big boys made efforts
to intimidate the small boys, and
the presence of a couple Of stalwart
policemen was required to maintain
order in the vicinity. Finally, oil
the boys, except the leaders in the
strike, entered the building, and
the latter will probably be expelled
or suspended. The strike in the Elev-
enth ward school yesterday after
noon was q complete failure, and
this morning studies were resumed
without difficulty.

the messenger could proclaim it

up through the town, with hurrah
for Polk as there was no flag in view.
In my boyish excitement did not
wait for the assurance, but passed
up rapidly to Democratic head

ing the year 1916, volunteers were
called for the Mexican war, and u

The canvass of 1S48, between Tay-
lor and Fillmore, as Wing candidates,
and Lewis Cass and w. r.. King, as
Democats, was not very animated.
At that period and up to 1851, when
the new constitution Of Virginia was
adopted, property qualification
with receipt for taxes paid, was re-
qired from every voter. Hence
large numbers were denied the right
of suffrage, Our county Of Berke-
ley was always regarded and never
failed, as a Wing county, but dissen-
sions among local aspirants, would
sometimes let us Democrats slip ina
member of the Legislature. Every
lawyer and man of prominence allied
themselves with the ascendant coun-
ty element. In the adoption of the
new constitution in 1851, by which
every man was recognized and al
lowed suffrage, a great charge occur

An InfantiIc Bride


A man of sixty-fve years, we'll
known farmer, living on his own pro-
perty in the upper part of Haledon,
Va, has just married little girl of
sixteen, whose mother lives in Tenn
Pile street, near the public school.
The bride is SO small that she would
not be taken for more than eleven or
twelve years of age, and her actions
are so immature and infantile that
many people will not believe she is
older than that The girl has for
some time been a scholar in the in
FAINT class of one of the Patterson
Methodist churches. Only last Sun
day she occupied her seat in the in
FAINT department, because she was
too backward, it is said, for adj
vancement to the other classes.
The firstinformation ofthe marriage
was given by the girls mother at
class-meeting night or two since.
The bride sat by her mothers side
as she was relating the circumstan-
ces, and it is reported that SO little
interest did the girl take in the mat
ter that she actually fell asleep.

"VHITE CORRECT.

Bob White, during his talk to the
Missouri editors at Mexico last week,
said in substance that under no CIR
cumstances must an editor let any
personal grievance or petty spite
warp his judgement and lead him to
say man is not fitted for Office be-
cause he is not patron CT his paper
or does not train with him in a polit-
zeal campaign. Is he honest! is he
capable? are the questions to be
handled without prejudice and with
out gloves. This should he an edi-
tors line Of duty If he varies from
that duty the public would be right
in holding him to strict account
ability. We don't know but brother
White is correct, but in all our ex.
changes we have yet to see where an
editor has pronounced n candidate
unfit for the office he is seeking. AnC
if their candidates are like those il
Knox they will not have occasion tc
do so. Knox County Democrat

GOOD MEETING.

The Missouri Press Association
met III Mexico last Weekday IL
and u. The meeting was not large
lv attended, but every editor and
publisher present seemed to be full
of business; and, in fact, it was the
only real business meeting the as
sociation has ever held since its Or
ganiZation.
As Mexico is known for its enter
prising citizens and its rapid growth,
it is not necessary to GO into detail
about the many improvements made
in the past few years. With water
works and electric light, Mexico is
destined to be city of no small
proportions.
About ten days before the associa-
ton met, we received a kind invita-
ton from Miss Bell Hisey, to make
her fathers commodious residence
our home, which we accepted. Mr.
Hisey. his estimable wife and vivac
ious and intelligent daughter un
derstand how to entertain people
and we were never better treated
anywhere 1t is against sour re
| ligion' to put up with private fam
lilies whenever the association meets
but we were so royalty entertained oI
| this occasion, that we hid that par
of our religion. Fulton telegraph
Mexico weekly ledger., 1886-05-27
BUSINESS MEETING.

The annual meeting of the Mis-
souri, Press association at Mexico
last week was not as well attended as
the former meetings have been, pos
sibly because majority of the coun-
try editors were busy with the can
didates, or probably it was because
there was no excursion offered after
the business was over. The meet
ing this year was of business ma
ture and there were a number of ex-
cellent papers read by different men,
bers of the association, and the few
who were present enjoyed the change
from the usual proceedings. The
citizens of Mexico have placed the
press of the state uuder obligations
to them for the manner in which they
entertained its members. - Miami

TREATED RIGHT ROYALTY.

A publication of the proceedings
would not be of interest to our read
ers but a very interesting programme
was carried out. The papers read
were able and edifying and full of
information to the press gang, and
everything tended toward making it
the most enjoyable meeting we ever
attended. Mexico is On the Wabash
and the Chicago & Alton line of rail-
roads, about 10S miles from St.
Louis, is handsomely situated and
surrounded by as fine country as
there is in the west. 1t has a popu-
lation of about 5000 and from the
character of the public and private
buildings we judge them to be an en-
terprising people. They treated the
editors right royalty and We can
vouch for their generous hospitality.
