No medicine has ever been known so eff
fectual in the cure of ali those diseases
arising from an impure condition of the
blood as Scovill's Sarsaparilla, or Blood and
Liver Syrup, the universal remedy for the
cure of Scrofula, White Swellings, Rheu-
matism, Pimples, Blotches, Eruptions,
Venereal Sores and Diseases, Consumption,
Goitre, Boils, Cancers and all kindred dis
eases. There is no better means of secur-
ing beautiful complexion than by using
Scovilps Sarsaparilla, or Blood and Liver
Syrup, which cleanses the blood and gives
permanent beauty to the skin.

The California Minstrels

The entertainments given Friday
and Saturday evenings by the Cali
fornia Minstrel troupe did not dis
appoint those who expected to see a
first class minstrel show. The lend
men, were good, the music enjoy
able, the dancing excellent, and
there was an abundance of room fol
hearty laughing all along the line
Three or four members of the troupe
are very clever actors as well as
good musicians.
Mr.. A. G. Hatfield-or Field as he
now autographs-one of the proprie
tors of the show, is a native of Nor
gantown, and has hosts of OLD
friends here who were glad to see
him. He promises to be back agair
next fall with the company strength
ened by new men.

SCHOOLS OF THE COUNTY.
Final Report Of Superintend~
emit VandervOrd.
There are 9S schools in the county
recurring 104 teachers;


It is very gratifying to me to know
that our schools, generally, did good
work the past winter, some of the
teachers, however, lacked that swim"
which is needed to make the school
success. They seemed TO be teach
ing merely for the almighty dollar"
such teachers usually get great
deal more than they earn. There
were some excellent schools taught,
two of which deserve particular men,
ton: the Arnettsville school, Grant
district, taught by w. Z. Glasscock,
and the Eddy School, Battelle dis
trict, taught by w. J. Eddy; either
of these two teachers earned not less
than $50 dollars per month. / did
not let the teacher know expected
to visit the school, but took him by
surprise. i did this in order to as
certain the every day work Of the
school-to find out the real worth of
the teacher in the school room.
State Superintendent Morgan
wishes to know the views of the
teachers of this county in regard to
the time and place of holding our
county institute.

Mean, Measley Thieves.

The Masontown correspondent of
the Preston County argus says that
there is scarcely week that the PEG
pie in the lower end of the Valley are
not troubled with band of thieves
who reside in both counties. They
plumber chicken coops, meat-houses,
granaries and, though not frequently,
carry away farming implements.
They commit most of their depre6a-
tions in the mountain country, occa,
sionally crossing the river into Grant,
never leaving the river far. There
was an indictment found against one
of the supposed members but was
never further heard from. Last sum
mer two more were brought before
Justice Birche and held under bond
to await the action of the grand
jury but the case was not before
that body in August or November,
and probably will not be in April.
The people in the mountain country
are afraid to inform on them.
