Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused
such rush of trade at Frank
Jones Drug Store rs their giving
away to their customers of so many
free trial bottles of DR.. Kings New
discovery for Consumption. Their
trade : simply enormous in this
very valuable article from the fact
that it always cures and never
disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asth-
ma. Bronchitis, Group, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly
cured. You can test it before buy
inc by getting trial bottle free,

ranted.

Distress After Eating.

This result of indigestion will no
longer be experienced if Simmons
Liver Regulator is taken after each
meal. 1t is such a good digester,
and so mild and pleasant in its eff
feet that it is used by many, after a
hearty meal, to insure good diges
ton. The Regulator does not nan-
seate or irritate the stomach, but
corrects acidity, dispels foul gases,
allays irritation, and assists the
stomach in its digestion.

1t is with pleasure we announce
the appointment of Mr.. G. Z. Bcllar
to a position in the Surgeon Gener-
ais office, at Washington city, where
there happened to be a vacancy, en-
titled to be filled from this State.
The position was secured through
the efforts of Mr.. r. A. Alexander
by Senator Kenna. 1t would have
been difficult TO have selected bet
ter and more deserving man. Mr..
Bellar has been a druggist since boy
hood, and is thoroughly competent.
He has always been an active and
consistent Democrat, and has a
large family dependent upon him for
support. His large circle of friends
extend to him their congratulations.

The Charlestown Democratic Club
at its regular meeting on Friday
night last was addressed by Mr..
VIM. r. Alexander, of Winchester,
Va. Although an impromptu it was
an excellent address, and the large
audience who had assembled in the
courthouse exhibited their appreci
alton of his eloquent appeal in be
half of individual and united effort
in the coming national campaign.
with frequent and hearty cheers.
The SPIRIT says: I'm eloquent Ian
guage he depicted the Democratic
party as the best exponent of con-
stitutional liberty; as the foe of mo-
nopoly and favoritism, and the
friend, founder and preserver of the
constitution framed by the people of
the several States. as stated in it's
preamble to establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, promote the
general Welfare and secure thebless-
ings of liberty. A more effective
and impressive speech it has not
been our good fortune to hear.

An Important Decision by Villas.
ONE THAT WILL CARRY RELIEF TO MANY
LONELY CABIN IN THE WEST.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-the Sec
rotary OF the Interior has rendered the
following important decision, Involv-
ing the question OF residence upon
homestead entries prior To making
final proof.
10 the commissioner of the General
Land Ofhce-Sir Il have considered
the appeal of vii, ri, mpson
from YOUR office, ' decision ", Of ' Julv g.
1888, rejecting his final proof for land
therein mentioned. think this man
Is entitled to his patent. He made his
declaratory statement April 2G, 1888,
alleging settlement II week before, and
shows that he was absent during most
OF the following summer; that he was
on the land from fall until the follow
ing spring; absent again during the
succeeding summer; again upon the
land until spring, and not absent six
months at any time; that he applied
the proceeds OF his labor during two
seasons, when he was absent, to the
building of his house and making i'm
together at 5000; that he was poor
man and his absence was Tor the pur
pose OF earning means to improve his
land, and that he devoted all his earn
ings with fidelity to that purpose In
the spring OF the third year he left
again. and remained until the follow
ing January, his purpose being to earn
money to pay for his land. The
amount necessary was 5000, IL con-
siderable sum for a labOrer to save
from his wages in a year, in addition
to the necessary fees and expenses.
He appears to have done it, and not
outstanding he was not personally
present upon his land during the last
six months preceding the completion
OF his entry, the fact cannot deny his
right.
He made settlement in person on
his land he has erected Il dwelling
thereon; he has improved the land,
and he has inhabited t in good faith
When it is considered that the tract
was situated many miles from the Or
binary highway, remote from settle
ments generally; that it is very diff
ficult OF access, and yet, that he has
persistently chung to it for three years,
applying all the results of his labors to
its improvement and its purchase, it
is difficult to discern case more
worthy. His inhabitancy of the land
is not impeached, after his residence
was once secured, by his going abroad
to procure means to bring back, inn
prove it and obtain title to it.
l must reverse your decision and
direct patent to issue to the claim |
