Cure for Piles.

PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. AT times, symptoms Of indi
gestion are present, flatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles, yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosan-
quo;s Pile Remedy, which acts direct
ly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tnmors, allayipg the intense Itch
ing, and efecting permanent cure.

PROHIBITION IN MISsIssIpPI.-The re-
cent elections in Mississippi on the prohi-
bition question have not been successful
to any extent in checking the liquor traf-
fic, but the vote for prohibition was a very
large one and indicates a rapidly growing
sentiment in that direction. The agita-
ton has also proved beneficial in many
respects, and the State law throwing re-
strictions around tue granting of barroom
liccusos is being invoked with excellent
results for the welfare of the various cities
and towns. The whole of Mississippi is in
Il state of excitement over this question,
and the contests wagcd in the various
counties have been the warmcst i'm the
annals OF the commonwealth, all classes of
society and both sexes participating with
great energy in the canvass 1t is the alb
sorbing topic of conversation everywhere,
and will no doubt have an important bear
ing upon the future political condition.
1t is evident that the prohibition senti-
ment is making steady Roadway over the
entire South, and it looks as if in the next
five years the sale of liquor would be sup
pressed in a large majority of the counties
of every Southern State.-[New Orleans

Interesting Experiences.


Hiram Cameron, Furniture dealer of
Columbus, Ca, tells his experience,
thus: "F'or three years have tried eve
ny remedy on the market for Stomach
and Kidney disorders, but got no re-
lief until | nsed Electric Bitters. l
took five bottles and am now cured,
and think Electric Bitters the best
Blood Purifier in the world" Major

ing Kidney affection and says "Noth-

Miscegenation.

We coincide with the views of the
Monroe Telegraph. Misccgenation is
now running our fair land. Our coun-
try is becoming polluted. Something
must be done, and that soon, to sup
press this alarming and heinous crime.
Onr youth are fast drifting from the
path of virtue. tits time for some one
with courage and pluck to act; to at
once take hold of this hell inspired
evil and eradicate it. 1t is assuming
strong hold in this country, and it is
surprising how few realize the fact
When spoken of, ignorance is plead
ed, but soon it will he mirificient
among most respectable families, and
great surprise will he expressed. We
arc in favor of our Legislature taking
hold of this base evil and enacting a
law to imgrison all guilty of miscege-
nation, upon conviction, sending them
to the penitentiary for from two to five
years. This we believe to be the only
means by which this fearful crime can
be extirpated.- Trinity Herald.
