LONG LIFE.

There is nothing In the world more gener.
ally desired than long life, yet the majority Of
people put of caring for their health-not be-
cause they are really careless, but because We
live our lives at such pace We have not time
TO give the subject sufficient thought until we
receive reminder In the shape OF severe ILL.,
ness.
Then. too, we are constantly bewdered by
the various schools of medicine, aud the ply
sicians who represent them, and often blunder
in our choice Of doctors.
II people only knew that the very best
health.keeper, life preserver, and disease-pre'
uenter that has Vet been discovered, is sim
mered down into concentrated and very
palatable form in the shape OF New Style
Pleasant Taste Vinegar Bitters, they would
not hesitate moment 10 try II.
But they do not know. How can they
know, when SO many not only worthless, but
positively injurious, drugs are constantly
loodng the market under various names and
guises, that the New style Vinegar Bitters is
as bad as any of them?
They do not know, OF course, unless they
have the courage to try the New style. II
straightens out the tangled.up system In Il
very short while, and those who buy il once
buy 1t always.
Why don't you try it, resdery 1t is sent out
by u responsible house, aud is exactly rs rep
resented. Ii costs but dollar for very
large bottle. Try it once and you will never
be so glad OF anything in your life. Your
druggist may not have ii, but he will order 1t
for you. BE sure 1t says New Style and
Pleasant Taste on carton and bottle before
you take II. Try 1t, and you will feel happier
than If you found gold mine, for It really is
mine-of health
Free from alcohol and opium composed OF
expensive herbs and roots, with fine, deli
cate iayoring.

1t is estimated that one-ninth of Uncle
Sans employees are women. OF the 1900
persons employed by him in the District Of
Columbia one-third are women. OF course,
the women are chiefly employed as stenog'

Again the big building stood empty, this
time for some years, and then Brooks Bros,
the popular clothiers, took the place, fitted it
up handsomely and moved their stock into
it. But the blighting influences Of the spot
crept even over their prosperity, and after
struggle of year or two they gave 1t up and
went to their present quarters
Wheeler and Wilson, of sewing machine
fame, next moved into the great, gloomy
store, but they could not escape the evil fate,
their business suffered, and after period OF
some seasons they quilted the i'll omened
building. At present the spell seems broken.
The Dairy Kitchen has been in possession for
some time, and whether the music OF the
band has exercised the evil spirits, or the
sweets have appeased the hungry ghosts,
can only be guessed, but prosperity seems to
have taken the place of misfortune.

He has another great department which he
calls the interior. Let us see what he does
here.
In examining and issuing patents to the
fruitful inventive genuises of America he
employs GOO persons.
The pension business is his particular favor-
tie, and to attend to this he employs nearly
1900 persons not counting pension agents
employed in other cities.
He is rich enough to give us all farm, and
in his big land Office in this city he employs
$50 persons, besides 800 in land Offices located
all through the west, and 100 chief surveyors.
He is fond of Indians, and employs 1850
persons to take care Of them, feed them and
educate them.
He.wants to know what is going on and
what has been going on underneath the sur
face of the ground, and employs go men In
making his geological surveys.
He has bureau Of labor with a hundred
assistants. statistical machine with hun
dred moro, and he maintains asylums, hospi-
tails and schools by the dozen
OF course Uncle Sam finds it wise to keep
an army 1t is not very big army, only
%. 900 men, one-flfth of them officers, and yet
he employs thousand clerks in Washington
to keep their accounts, and 500 men to

Uncle Sam is extensively engaged In the
business of improving rivers and harbors, and
In this he spends twenty or thirty millions

Richard and Pringles Georgia Min

to be good from the following notice,
clipped from the Little Rock, Ark,

drew very large house at Hides
last night. The down stairs was
well filed, and the first and second
galleries were packed. The perform
ance was very satisfactory one, and
the applause and laughter were al
most incessant. The jokes were
fresh, the singing good, and the
dancing first-class. Altogether it
was one of the best minstrel shows
given this season.

The Reidsville correspondent of the

have been confined largely to the res

The result of these examinations
show one lobe of the left lung to have
been gone and the other to have been

with extreme biliousness made him
peculiarly susceptible to the influence
of chlOroform. Mrs. Morris admits
having found IL small quantity of

having held it for short while some
six or seven inches from his nose, but
says that soOthed him, and at his re-
quest she went down stairs to give
him Il chance to sleep The evidence
of the undertaken shows that, while
Mrs. Morris was not overwhelmed
with grief at her husbands death,
she was becomingly serious and show

that she has never acted as Il wife to-

Mrs. Morris learned that she was ser

commissions and has not been able to
leave her bed since. Upon DR.. Bas-
ley's statement of her condition it will
be impossible for her to attend the
inquest for several days and the in

innocence, while Others think that her

The Fire-Fiend.
The kitchen of the Merchants HO-
tel caught fire yesterday morning
about O'Clock, whether accidental
~ or from an incendiary is not yet
known. 1t was a two story wood
structure and one end of it was less
than 4 feet distant from the Mer-
chants hotel From this it will be
seen that our fire companies did ad-
mirable work The building was
completely Quilted and the roof fell
in. yet the walls remain. The Salem
fire company threw water l minutes
before the Winston company. The
Winston company was delayed be-
cause the man who carries the keys
to the engine house lives at a consid-
cradle distance-out near Belo's
pond. The members of the Winston
company had to break down the
doors to get out the engine.
