As the ball of time moves up, rolling month aftey month away, we begin to feel conscious that another campaign year rapidly approaches, Thinking thus, 1t occurs to us to wonder if the peopl 2 will get together" We cannot help thinking that every man in the county who has any interest here is in favor of ''coming together" Every ray of hope, every chance at happiness. every iD- ducement to immigration, every appeal to capital and intelligent labor to come to our county, demands a " coming to- gether." Every man who has any spark of love for his fellow man crayes peace. Every civilized, intelligent being in this county should be willing to make some sacrifice of personal preferences among men and measures to bring about a state of good feeling among what is known as the straight Democrats and the Democrats who are known as Flu sionists.' In order to bring about such desirable state of affairs. it is abso- lutely necessary that ,th sides should lay aside whatever of stubbornness re- mains with them, and, with nothing at heart but the welfare of this great county, "come together" and adjust differences, adopt platform that can and will be indorsed by the white peo pie of this county, put ticket in the field composed of the best men we can find, and then go hand in hand to the polls and elect that ticket.
 The importance of such movement IS paramount to any individual feeling or preference. We must fulfil that principle of democracy which says that democracy means the greatest good to the greatest number. Prejudice must be routed, and sweet-winged peace installed. It has been suggested that a convention be called to be composed of ten or more men from each side. and that they do the adjusting, and nom- mating of . white mans ticket. TmE 'INEs would be overjoyed could this be done. The questions are: Can it be donep Will it he tl0neY
 We invite dispassionatc correspond ence on the subject from both sides. We appeal to your good sense and to your love of peace and prosperity, to urge you to some amicable settlement of the unpleasant relations now ex- isting between the white people of the county. We do not wish to see this bad feeling longer exist.

WE advertise the Rrcat resources of State in the hope that VIC shall secure capital and n rood class of immigrants. But capita is timtd, and the gnod immigrants arc q acs's'si- ipgiy cautions.

HE SENT EIGHTY MILES FOR IT.

Milo Page. of San Bernardino, Cal, on Sept. 9. writes us follows:
 In 1858 was tak:n with bilious col ,c, being then seventeen years old. Yearly attacks followed. and at length they became more frequent.
 While prostratcd by severe attack friend induced me to take large dose of Walkers Vinegar Bitters, Old Style, probably four wiue giasses full. In less than half an hour l was free from pain followed this up with three wine glasses day--one, half iin hour before each meal--until l used up the bottle.
 For over seven years was perfectly free from bilious collie. but in the fall of 70 was engaged in mining in Ne vada. and the coarse food l ate brought on Il sharp attack. was far from any drug store, but despatched a courier eighty miles for ;l bottle of Vinegar f,ltters,
 When he returned l WAS unable to speak, but put the bottle to ,uy lips, took two swallows. and in twenty minutes the pain left me. finished the bottle as before, taking three doses daily, and for nine years afterward 1 was perfectly free from the dreaded disease.
 X mouth ago it returned. but trying he old remedy. Vinegar iilttels, was cured as before
 l write this because you do not es pecially recommend Vinegar Bitters for biAons collie. Only these who have suffered the agenies ot this disease. can understand what q boon snre cure is, and in Old Style Vinegar Htters you have the best, and perhaps the only real remedy known.
 In reply to Mir. Page we will say that Vinegar Bitters cures hundreds ot diseases; we have not the space to cat alogue them. and ptsllaps if We pub lished them those unacquainted by ex- perience with our valuable remedy. might doubt it's efficacy still. as so many worthless preparations are thrust on the market, and puif.d in so many eXtraNagaut ways.
 The fact remains, however. that those who have been accustomed to take Vinegar Bltters for any length of time are hale and hearty, whether they are young or old. Those who doubt and fail to take it. are likely to fall into all manner of ailments, great and small :. Vinegar Bitters. both Old and New Styles, keep those who take them fresh fair, healthy and young looking, and when We once gain a customer, we keep them always, like Mir. Page, who sent eighty miles for Vinegar Bitters, and 1t was almost q ride for life.
 The New Style Vinegar Bltters is Il beautiful, clear, dark reddish color, and extremely pleasant to the taste.
