another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by lady IN
this county. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its sever est tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and
could not sleep. She bought Of us a
bottle of Dr. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption and was SO much relieved
on taking first dose that she slep all
night and with one bottle has been
miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz.'' Thus write W. c..

Do you farmers understand that
there are immense quantities of
field products imported into this
country every year even though
every one of them pay a tariff
duty. During the first eleven
months of 1887 there was paid
into our national treasury over II
millions Of dollars as duty on
wheat, corn, oats, barley, potatoes
and meats. India to-day can lay
down wheat in New York city for
.65 cents a bushel. Can the
farmers of Clark or Jackson coun-
ties do SO? You know you can
not. At one time within the past
rs months there were half a dozen
vessel loads of potatoes in the
Boston and New York harbors for
sale at any price offered above the
duty placed upon potatoes by the
present tariff law. The duty now
is Is cents per bushel. They
were brought to this country
simply because they needed ballast
for their ships, and the cost Of
transportation did not enter into
or affect the price in this country.
Can the farmers of Clark and
Jackson counties live by raising
potatoes even at IS cents a bushel?
The Mills bill says they should
enter free. AS a farmer and
American citizen it appears to be
insulting to the common sense of
our people to suppose for a
moment that they will hearken to
or be led astray by the fattery
and fanciful theories advanced
by the administration and agents
of English capital. The Republi-
can party stands to-day as always,
favoring protection to American
homes and Americans wherever
they may be. A free ballot and
honest count. An army and navy
of sufficient size to protect our
cities and harbors. The Republi-
can party honors and respects the
defenders of the union, would see
that they were all placed outside
of the pale of want, and does
not stigmatize them as camp fol-
lowers and coffee coolers"
It is true that the present execu-
tives have allowed a large number
of claims for pensions, which is
accounted for in this manner.
First there were a large number
of claims pending before the
departments when the present
administration went into power.
Among these claims that were
pending, there was large percen-
tage of them on which the proof
was nearly completed, and all
that was necessary to be done was
the signing Of the certificate of
allowance. This they have done,
but how2 They have simply low
cred the rating SO that the amount
paid is not changed very materi-
ally. That is, claim that is
allowed at $500 per month, counts
one, IN the number of claims
allowed; but $500 a month will
not keep man free from hunger,
support family or keep him out
of the county house. Now they
say to those who wore the blue,
" we arc the soldiers friends, Just
look at the number of soldiers
claims allowed by US in the past
four years" But they do not tell
you of the misery allowance
granted in most cases. My
friends, dc not wish to occupy
the time of those prepared, to
entertain and instruct. I am
pleased to be with you and believe
we shall have reason to feel as we'll
the sixth day of next month, as
you all appear to feel to-day.
| thank you for your attention.

Mosquitoes and Rattlesnake Poison.

The following story comes to us from
Florida: A man living in the neighbor-
hood of Tampa was bitten on the leg by a
rattlesnake. A doctor was at once sent
for and the leg was bandagcd tightly
above the wound, although it was ex-
pected that the man would die before
medical assistance could be procured.
The leg having been barred for the appli-
cation Of the bandage, was attacked by
mosquitoes, and when the physician
finally arrived he found the man in good
condition, but the ground around where
he lay was strewn with dead mosquitoes.
Our informant, who overheard the fore.
going story told by an "old fashion d
doctor" on n railroad train, said that the
narrator remarked ''it was rather hard on
the mosquitoes, and then he added. in
a reflective sort of Il way: Il lr'slmr the
man s life was worth saving. .'--Aew lOr&

Trees.

Professor Lazenby, of Cornell Univer.
sity, says: To make timber plentiful and
to render our climate more genial we
must re-clothe all rugged, broken land
and rocky crests, in fact, every acre that
is not cultivated or is cultivated at q loss,
with valuable forest trees.
First-All ravines and steep hillsides,
all land too rocky to be thoroughly cleared
Of stone and plowed, should be devoted
Second-Protecting belts of timber
should be planted wherever buildings,
orchard, gardens, etc, are exposed to cold,
sweeping winds.
Third-The banks Of streams, ponds,
open bitches, etc., should be so planted
with trees that they will be protected
from abrasion by floods and rapid cur
rents.
Fourth-All public roads should be
belted by graceful, stately trees.
We should preserve, improve and ex-
tend our existing forests by keeping up a
constant succession of young, growing
trees of the best varieties. To do this it
is necessary:
First-To allow no stock to run in
wood-lots for purpose of forage. This
should be a rule infexible and relent-
lees.
Second-Young growth in forests
should be thinned moderately and judi
ciously. Worthless varieties should be
cut out and the valuable sorts should be
trimmed up so that they will grow tall,
forming trunk rather than branches.
Third-Timber should be cut with in
telligcnt reference to future growth.
Valuable trees that you wish to propagate
should be cut in the spring. Those that
you wish to exterminate should be cut in
August.

WORDS. OF WISDOM.

Much danger makes great hearts reso-
lutte.
When oil else is lost, the future re-
mains.
'Tis an ill thing to be ashamed of ones
poverty.
Truth is as impossible to be soiled by
any outward touch as the sunbeam.
You cannot dream yourself into a
character: you must hammer and forge
yourself into one.
The love of singularity proceeds from
restless mind, possessing some por-
tion of genius and large portion of
vanity.
There can be no study without time;
and the mind must abide and dwell upon
things. or be always stranger to the in
side of them.
He that procures his child a good
mind makes better purchase for him
than if he laid out the money for an ad-
dition to his former acres.
There is no American boy, however
poor, however humble, orphan though
he may be, who, if he has clear head, a
true heart, a stout arm, may not rise
through all the grades of society, and be-
come the crown, the glory, the pillar Of
the State.
Sorrow is not an. accident, occurring
now and then-it is the very woof which
is woven into the warp of life, and he who
has not discerned the divine sacredness
of sorrow, and the profound meaning
which is conceale1 in pain, has yet to
learn what life is. The cross, manifested
as the necessity of the highest life, alone
interprets it.

Hints to Consumptives.


CONSERVATIVES should use food as nourishing
as can be had, and in a shape that will best
agree with the stomach and taste of the pa
tient.
Outdoor exercise Is earnestly recommended.
If you are unable to take such exercise on
horseback or on foot, that should furnish no
excuse for shutting yourself indoors, but you
should take exercise in a carriage, or in some
other way bring yourself In contact with tho
open air.
Medicines which cause expectoration must
be avoided. For Ave hundred years ply
sicians have tried to cure Consumption by
u.ing them, and have failed. Where there Is
great arrangement Of the secretions, with
engagement Of air-cells, there is always
profuse expectoration. Now Piso's Cure re-
moves the engagement and the arrangement
of the secretions, and consequently land in
this way only diminishes the amount Of mat
ter expectorated. This medicine does not dry
up cough, but removes the cause of it.
When it Is impossible from debility or other
ments occupied by the patient should be 80
ventilated as to ensure the constant accession
Of fresh air in abundance.
as often as every third day with tepid water
and little soft-soap. This Is preferable to
any .otherJ After thoroughly drying, use
friction with the hand moistened with oil,
Cod-Liver or Olive.is the best. This keeps tho
pores Of the skin in soft, pliable condition,
which contributes materially to the unloading
Of waste matter from the system through this
organ. You will please recollt c. we cure this
d sease by enabling the orfans Of the system
to perform their functions in a n rmal way.
or, in other wolds, we remove obstruction,
while tho recuperat:ve powers Of the system
cure the disease.
We will here say a word in egard 10 q cough
in the f.rming stage, where there Is no con-
stitutional or noticeable disease. A cough
may or may not foreshadow serious evil; take
1t in its mi dess form, 10 say the least, 1t 10
nuisance. and should be abated.
A cough Is unlike any other symptom Of dis
ease. 1t stands conspirator. with threaten
ing voice. menacing the health and existence
of a vital organ. Its first approach is in whis-
pers uninteliigible. and at first too often un-
needed, but in time it never fails to ma itself
understood-never fails to claim the attention
Of those on whom it calls.
If you have cough without disease Of the
lungs or serious constitutional disturbance, so
much the better, as few do es of Piso's euro
will be all you may need, while IL you rc far
advanced in Consumption, several bottles may
be required to effect permanent cure.
