Invaluable remedy has once been in

well by It.
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
IN numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Laryngitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t " n
medicine that only requires TO be taken In
small doses, is pleasant to the taste, and is
needed in every house where there are
children, as there is nothing so good as
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL for treat

There was a time when the lev. Sid
ney Smith asked with Il sheer, "who
reads an American book Z" This was
not Il half century ago, and now
American books are household treas
urc. in England, and American litera-
turc is not outranked by that of any
enlightened people on the globe. 1t
took England some years to recognize
this fact, but when she did, it was in
no half-hcarted manncr. In all the de-
partments of science, in poetry, thcol.
ogy and all else that makes up the lit
erature OF a nation. we nov stand the
peer. of those who have q line of cen.
turtles behind them TO mark ,hci" slow
and tedious progress TO higher planes
Of thought and development.
We have now in England a repre-
sentative preacher in the person of
Henry Ward Bcechcr, whose philoso-
ply of religion is % entirely different
from that of II English thcologians,
that it would attract attention even
from one less gifted than the Plymouth
church pastor, His first sermon in
London attracted 80 many that ihOus.
aads could not get within the doors OF
the church, lie preached one of his
characteristic sermons, and after clos.
ing, thousands rushed up TO shake him,
but he was taken off by his American
friends, TO a fourth Of July banquet

marked. "Wrll, ! have heard a .reaI
deal of Henry Ward Bccchcr aud ex'

or in the world, we have nothing tt
compare with him." lie had probably
heard Canon Farrar and others of Iii

all have admired, aud yet was compel

Gen. Martin addressed our citizens
on Tuesday in the interest Of Natchcz,
Jackson X Columbus road. His
speech was emincnuypraciical without
any departure from the real merits of
the enterprise. lie made appeals for
aid. but in a >uccinct aud convincing
manner, cleared up any doubts that
might remain against the advantages
of the route through this section. The
line of this road, with is connections,
forms almost q direct airline from
New York to New Orleans, 2j0 miles
shorter than any other route. and if
completed. will be the great thorough
fare from New York tothc Pacific. 1t
only remains now for our county TO
subscribe POO, 900, payable only as the
work is done within its borders. OF
course it takes an election TO decide
whether we will take stock to that
amount, and it requires d vote of two
thirds of the registered voters OF the
county to accomplish this, Here is
the hitch in the whole matter. At no
election lately, has there been two
thirds Of Il vote cast, and it will re-
quire some hard work to get the re-
quisitc number, as every vote not cast
will be a vote against the proposition.
A thorough canvass should be made,
and our people aroused to the ncccSsi-
ty for such Il road, especially among
the colorcd people, who generally alb
stain from voting, and as yet are not
informed of the immense advantages
that will accrue to them in other ways
than the employment oft.:eir labor.

A Disastrous Experiment.

During scientific lecture by Prof.
Jones, principal of the school at
Marshfeld. at the Presbyterian Church
on Saturday evening, the Professor
gave several illustrations of the COM
pounding of phosphorus and potassium
when a blaze from the ignited COM
pound caught the evergreens on the
walls and the interior of the church
was mass of flames. Before the fire
department could respond the fire was
beyond control. The audience escap-
ed without accident. The church and
furniture are total loss The value
of the building was $4,000. It was
insured for $500 in the Liverpool &
Globe, and 81 1000 in the Continental.
Tie furniture, which was valued at
81, 500. was insured for 81, 900 in the
Underwriters There is some specula-
tion as to the effect of the origin of
the fire upon the validity of the in
surance.

Centralia Building Gossip.

Geo. A. Corsiveau intends erecting
a new store upon his vacant lot west
OF his present store 16x75 feet with
rooms overhead. The second story of
his present store will be fitted into
offiie rooms for rent. The new store il
is said will be occupied by Mr.. R. G.
Worthington as a drug and grocery
store and the company we are told
will consist of r. G. Worthington,
Drs. Peck and Whitney.
1t is commonly reported that N.
johnson will erect a fine residence
next Spring which will adorn that
portion of the city. 1t will probably
csst $4,000.
Among those who are mentioned
that intend building next summer is
Mr. Frank Garrison. 1t is said he
will move his present residence back
so as to face French street and erect a
palacial residence where his present
house stands. This would give that
corner decidedly metropolitan appear
ance.
The most newsy building storey is
to the effect that Mr.. J. D. Witter
will erect fine solid brick store on
the lot recently purchased from John
Schnable the past year. This store
will be occupied by N. johnson & Co.
of which firm Mr.. Witter is a member.
The rent that they pay for their pres
ent location is said to be 1850 per
annumn. 1t is hoped the building
will be put up.
The contemplated structure by Jones
Il Nash is solid brick store two
stories high. 33 feet wide by 100 long.
They need a new building and will
begin work az soon as the weather will
permit in the Spring. It has been
said that they would not regret the
venture if they made their building
run from front street to the railroad
track. They could then unload
all their freight directly into the main
building ard save much thereby. OF
course it would cost more in the be-
ginning.

Gross ignorance, or malicious false
hood lie at the bottom of all such
statements as the following from the
Inter Ocean
sit is an integral part of the silver
sentiment of the West to prevent this
country from becoming a dumping
ground for the surplus silver Of
Europe"
There is no such popular sentiment
in the West, for there is no danger
apprehended from such cause.
Foreign countries have no more
silver than they need. In fact they
are dependent upon America fc. much
of their supply.
And even if they possessed sur
plus, and we're looking for dumping
ground" they would not dump it here
unless we first purch ased it, by ex-
changing other products of labor for
it, and we would not take their silver
in exchange for our commodities
unless we made money by doing 80, in:
which case. it would be we'll for us
that We could provide dumping
ground"
