myself of the use of tobacco with difficulty.

the wonderful cures made by that tribe Of
Indians, of blood diseases. Mr.. Hugh L.

tinued its use all of his life, and asserted
that he had never known it to fail to cure
any case of scrofula, blood faint or CON
tagious blood poison. This testimony has
been corrobora ed every day for yea s. Inc

TWO YEARS GONE.

Once again has the weeks length
ened into months and has brought
us TO the end of our second year of
journalistic work, and it is with
pardonable pride we view the past
and hope for the future. We be-
Iieve we can truthfully say that no
paper in this county or State has
made the rapid strides the ARGUS
has within the past two years.
Taken from the bottom, with but
a few friends, it has been placed by
hard and persistent effort, in a po-
sition where it commands the res
pect of all, regardless of politics,
and brings around it many who are
willing to assist it to raise still
higher.
To our friends we will say that
the ARGUS will constantly strive to
merit their good will and support,
and will, in the future, as in the
past, be thorn in the side of its
political enemy, and will fight un-
ceasingly for the principles it es-
pouses until victory permanently
crowns the efforts of Democracy.
and the people freed from the bond
age of slavery into which they
are cast by the tyrannical rule of
the monopolistic despots who hold
the reins Of government in their
hands.
We desire to return our thanks
to the friends who have stood bv us
and hope that before the next year
closes, many more of the people of
the county will be enrolled as its
r readers.

THE Era has no room for report

and took notes. But the best the
Era-this high-class, perpendicular,

was to copy the distorted, untruth-
full report of that unreliable, slang
whanging Democratic sheet, the

BOOM THE ARGUS.

! We have, in round numbers
fourteen hundred Democrats inl
Preston county; of that number
scarcely onc-third are subscribers to
the ARGUS, the only Democratic
paper in the county, while the Re-
publicans support two papers. This
is altogether wrong. The ARGUS is
deserving of the support of every
Democrat in Preston county, and
unless it receives that support it is
impossible for us to publish the pa
per and make n decent living out of
it. The ARGUs,in a political sense,
IS as much the paper of every Dem
ocrat in Preston county as the pro-
prietor, forwithout a newspaper what
would our organization amount to !?
The ARGUS is fighting the battle
of Democracy and it has a right to
expect the Democrats to give it that
support which it Justly mer-
its as the mouth-piece of the party.
If this support was given the ARGUS
it would enable us to enlarge the
paper and make it more useful in
espousing the cause of the people
against monopoly and corruption.
which has taken possession of the
Government temporarily. -Four
years hence the Democratic party
will come back into power. The
great issue of Tariff Reform will
sweep the country, for the false cry
Of "Protcction to American Labor"
has been thoroughly exposed. Hun
dreds of thousands Of laboringmen,
to-day, are out of employment while
the necessaries Of life are taxed to
the very highest notch. Where is
their protection 4? The Democracy
Of Preston must help in this good
work of exposing the tariff fallacy.
We print this week five hundred
extra copies of the ARGUS to be sent
to non-subscribers. Everyone who
receives a copy of the ARGUS is re-
minded that it is gentle hint to
become a regular subscriber. Read
it carefully and gee if it is not worth
the price, one dollar and fifty cents
a year. After reading it, hand it
to your neighbor and ask him to
subscribe. In this way You will not
only be assisting to keep the wolf
away from our door, but you will be
assisting your party.
We hope every Democrat who re-
ceives a copy Of the ARGUS this
week will be sufficiently pleased with
it to send in their subscription be-
fore the next issue.
Those Of our republican friends
who would like to hear the other
side Of the question, can do no bet
ter than 10 subscribe for the ARGUS.

At this writing the returns thus

Mr.. Ben II. Elsey as county super
intendent of free schools. We feel
sure the people have chosen wisely,
as Mr.. Elsey stands at the head of
his profession and a gentleman Of
integrity and worth. He will make
an excellent school officer. The
ARGUS congratulates you, Mr.. Elsey.

The result of the election is no
surprise to those knowing the stu
alton. Mr.. Squires, although elect
ed twice before, had too great load
to carry, and such a strong rival that
success was impossible. The defeat
is overwhelming the majority
against him being greater, to the
number Of votes cast, than against
any other candidate ever voted for
in the county.
We congratulate Mr.. Elsey upon
his success, and predict that he will
make first-class officer.
