PUT on thicker flannel on the approach Of
chilly weather. Don't take up with any fool
notion that you are hardening yourself ana
strengthening your constitution by making
keep the natural heat in the body. There is
neither reason nor rhyme in the practice OF
waiting too long TO put on warm clothing, nor
can any good reason be given for wasting the
warmth of the body and unnecessarily taX-
ing the vital powers. Keep warm, and don't
be fool. Wear sufficient clothing and keep
your window open at night. OF course you
will keep out Of the draught.
REcoLLECr that bathing is important. If
bathing is neglected, the pores of the skin
close. The stopping of the pores of the Skin
imposes double duty on the kidneys, and
sometimes these organs are unable to perform
double duty-hence often follow more ills
than the human system can long survive. He
who neglects the bath cndangers his life and
he who endangers his life, commits an act
which will, in all probability, bring him to a
premature grave.
THE opening at r. NJ Haddon & Co.'S last

generally conceded that the Messrs. Haddon
4 Co. have the largest and best selected stock
of goods they have ever brought to this mar

q big stoek which they propose to sell at rea
sonable prices. Give them a call and they
will treat you right.
DON'T forget the election which takes place
next Saturday. The Clerks office is o big
prize. The friends of each of the candidates
should give their favoritcs vote. In race
where so few votes will be decisive, every vote
will count. The Office of Clerk is RESPONSE
bic and important one, and the best man 1ol
tho place, who will serve the public most ;lc
ceptably, should got the office, We Will lei
YOU be Judge Of the fitness and the accept;l
bility of the candidates.
OUR people have about despaired of erel
getting another railroad, though few still
have hope for the coming of the CumberlanC

faith in the Georgia, Carolina and Northern

facts, which would lead us TO hope for elthG'
