A destructive storm of wind and hail WIS.,

completely riddled by the hail.
He of the unpronouncable name is not

did. He was in Martinsburg for few

believed to be up here in the interest of his
friend Benjamin Harrison, the Republican
nominee for President.

The modes of deaths approach are yari-
Gus. and statistics show conclusively that
more persons die from diseases of the Throat
and Lungs than any other. 1t is probable
that everyone, without exception, receives
vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system aud where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop,
at first slowly and is shown by slight tick
ling sensation in the throat and if allowed
10 continue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to the
head. causing Catarrh. Now all this Is
dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in
time cause death. At the onset you must
act with promptness; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous and may lose

something is wrong with your Throat, Lungs
or Nostrils, obtain q bottle of BOschee's

We have placed at our masthead the name
of Hon. Charles T. O'Ferrall, the Democrat
ic candidate for Congress. He has been
fairly nominated by large majority OF his
party and of the Convention, and will re-
ceive our earnest support. His election Is a
certainty.
As a soldier his career was admirable; As
a member of Congress he has been efficient
and faithful both to his country and his par
ty. Full of courage and self possession,
active. clear-headed, energetic and alert he
has more than once in an emergency done
good service to his party.
The Democracy of Winchester and Fred
erick county had expressed their choice for
Mr. Alexander but like that good and true
Democrat they will acquiesce in the decision
of the party and sustain its action.
Wedo not propose to make immaterial Is
sues with Democrats We hear the eloquent
voices of Democratic statesmen all over the
broad land. Our brethren are already in
the field and we donot propose to stand idle.

EACHUS'
HOG CHOLERA.
CURE AND PREVENTIVE
Patented April p, 1sSS.)
In
eSG

To THE PUBLIC-We wish to say that this
great and only remedy is not the result Of any
chances, neither is tia nostrum for speculation
but has been experimental with and thorough
~ tested for two years prior to our purchasing
It. The man who first used it was Moses
Frantz who had charge Of herd of $500 hogs
in 1854. 500 of these died with cholera. Mr..
Frants and Mr.. Eachus experimental in every
conceivable manner TO check the rayages of
the disease dissecting many dead hogs, and
cOmpOunding many prescriptions, until they
happily hit upon remedy. Before Mr.. Frantz
could put his remedy before the people he died
from blood poisoning, brought on by cutting
up dead hogs which had died with cholera.
Eachus who had not the necessary means to
put it before the public, and who was anxious
that some of his old friends should have it.
When Mr.. Eachus came here we had little faith
in his cure, but, after testing il in many severe
cases at home-notably, Mr. Rhodes and Mr.
Felteberger s-we became convinced beyond
doubt that it was all he claimed for it. Since
then we have used il in many severe cases
and the result is before the public. Not a sin
gle hog has died which we treated and in no
case have any taken il when fed this remedy.
It will cure Hog Cholera it will prevent Hog
Cholera. We have been at heavy expense
placing cure before the people and now only
ask that they appreciate our efforts by giving
il a trial.
1t will pay you to feed it if your hogs are
well. 1t will kill every manner of louise, insect
life in hog, trichinae not excepted II will kill
every nit and louise on the hog. 1t will cleanse
your hog Of scruf or mango. II will increase
the appetite fve-fold. It is Just what every
body has been looking for

across Libel

The last issue of the West Virginia Dem
ocrat contained an outrageous libel on the
Democrats Of Berkeley county, and most
unfair criticism Of the Hon. Joseph ;.
Duckwall, which were in perfect keeping
with the usual utterances of the uuscrupu-
lous editor Of that uniformly venomous pa
per. Mr.. Mason alleges that the nominal
ton of Mr.. Duckwall was the work OF
scheming politicians, and did not represent
the wishes of the substantial citizens OF
either Berkeley or Morgan. Wedo not hes
itate to say, as far as Berkeley is concerned,
that this statement is utterly false. Mr..
Duckwan presented his claims to the Dem
ocrats of Berkeley in a perfectly proper and
dignifed manner, and we have never known
a greater uuanimity Of sentiment than was
exhibited i'm the desire to honor Mr.. Duck
wall by eleyating him to the bench. Never
did men more perfectly represent the senu-
ments of the Democracy of this county than
did the Berkeley delegates in the judicial
convention on the 24th ult. Mr. Mason,
with unblushing efirontery which is one of
his most glaring characteristics, came up
here the day Of the Democratic mass con-
yention TO urge his views on the Democrats
of this county, but was given tounderstand
very plainly that Berkeley felt perfectly
able to manage her own affairs without any
meddlesome interference from without
No. Mr.. Mason, Berkeley Democrats have
not surrendered their manhood" and can
not be led by the nose by "scheming politi-
clans" of either their own county or yours.
Mr.. Duckwall was their choice for the NOM
iuation, and will receive their support at
the polls The article referred to further
stated tha, Mr.. Duckwall is not sufficiently
learned i'm the law to be Judge It strikes
us as being decidedly out of place for a
brieaess lawyer, who ue7er did succeed in
the profession, TO set himself up as a Judge
of the qualifications of one who has. We
prefer as we have done, to take the judg-
ment of leading members of the Berkeley
bar, who are competent to give an opinion,
and am honest one, and their estimate Of
Mr. Duckwall Is most favorable He has
had extensive experience, is firm, honest
and capable, and in our opinion has the
qualifications to make good judge.-Nr.
