A Scrap Of Puper Saved Her Life.

1t was just an ordinary scrap of wrapping paper
but it saved her life. She was in the last stages
of consumption, told by physicians that she was
incurable and could live only short time; she
weighed less than seventy pounds. On piece OF
wrapping paper she read of DR.. Kings New Dis
covery, and got sample bottle; it helped her, she
bought large bottle, it helped her more, bought
another and grew better fast, continued its use
and is now strong, healthy, rosy, plump weigh
ing 140 pounds. For fuller particulars send

cans present at the polls aud hut one
democrat. Col. Schee,Z explained
that there had been Ms many demo-
Gratis appointed to the duty as republi-

"showed up on the day of election,
and republicans had been substituted.

coming e'e'tion would be held under
the new law which prohibited more
than one representative Of each party
from standing within twenty-five feet
Of the polls. Col. Scheeiz stated that

better, had easy work In defeating bis

Bigger Than q Fish Hawk.

Afahlon d. Turk, of Obey, six miles
from this city, is the owner Of five large
fish dams. OF late he has been greatly
troubled by the dcpredations of fish
hawks, which have made frequent de-
scents upon his fish preserves. where
swim some 5000 or 4, 200 German carp Of
various sizes. The other day, intending
to abate the nuisance somewhat II possi-
bic, he took down his shotgun, and with
q supply Of buckshot secreted himself In
the bushes beside one Of the dams. Pres
emily an enormous bird scared overhead,
and after circling around slowly three
times made rapid descent into the
pond. Just as IL emerged from the water
with fish In its talons Mr. Turk let
drive at It with load of buckshot and
killed-it instantly. Instead Of being
fish hawk. as he supposed, IL proved to
be a bald eagle, and measured 8 feet Q
inches from tip 10 tip Of It's wings.-

The Chestnut Crop.

"Those we get here" said commits
sion merchant, care the Virginia nuts,
they are the finest and largest of all,
though possibly the ones grown in New
Hampshire and northern Massachusetts
have an even sweeter flavor. The latter,
however, are smaller, The great chest
nut producing area of Virginia includes
portions of Rappahannock, Green, Mel
son, Madison and Amherst counties, up
to the foothills on the south side of the
Blue Ridge. Tho nuts are mostly picked
by children, from whom they are bought
by the country grocers and traders, who
in turn sell them to the wholesale men
like ourselves, on commission or other
wise. Enormous quantities Of them are
sent TO Norfolk, where they are passed
over long sieves, with small holes at the
beginning and bigger onesfurther on, by
which they are assorted according TO
size, to be subsequently scaled in price,
accordingly, for sale to the jobber, who
sells by the bag to the retailer"
'Is not the Allegheny region great
center Of chestnutsy"
"Yes, indeed. It Is from that quarter
that the west and north are chiefly sup
piled. Chestnuts can be transported
thence more promptly than from Vir-
ginia to Chicago. which Is the main dis
center for the northwest But
when the Allegheny crop fails Chicago
sends its buyers to Norfolk, and prices
rise with the demand for the Virginia
product. The crop in Massachusetts, and
New Hampshire is becoming les every
year. owing to the reckless way in which
the trees are being cut down."-Wash-
