knows are rfdiculously false.
Iknow and you know that you have pre-
sumed upon the fact that have heretofore re-
fused to notice you In the way l otherwise
should have done because OF the respect which
have for the calling which you pretended
for time to follow, but which you have de.
serted for politics.
But this is to give you emphatic notice that
hereafter l shall treat you exactly as 1 would

You lave never appreciated my forbearance
In any particular. even when refrained from

THE MILLER BRoTHERs-David Miller, the
wounded man in the Walker tragedy, at
Brownsburg. still remains at home, and is in
charge of Deputy Sheriff Wilson. The latter
had him examined by DIR. Morrison on behalf
of the Commonwealth, and the doctor pro-
nounced him unfit to be removed to jail The
doctors have not yet located the ball, and for
that reason they cannot certainly foretell the
result Of the wound. DR.. Morrison said his
condition was favorable when he saw him. AS
to the time of the trial ofthe Miliers nothing is
yet definitely known. The grand jury will
meet at the December courta and the will be In.
dicted but there is little prospect of trial be-
fore January. If then. Where they will be
tried is probably in doubt. too The feeling in
the county, and the difficulty of getting an i'm
partial jury may cause a change of venue, and
the trial may be elsewhere. They are still in
the Lynchburg jail.-Rockbridge Ne,Ss.

All medical authorities agree that acaiarrh is
no more nor less than an Inflammation of the
lining membrane of the nasal air passages. Ma
sal catarrh and all catarrhal affections of the
head are not diseases of the blood, and 1t is a
serious mistake to treat them such. No
conscientious physician ever attempts to dc

AUSTRALIAN HARVEST PRosPECTs.-A firm
in Adelaide. writing on September 80, speaks
OF the harvest outlook as follows
Harvest prospects continue unchanged, and
there appears every prospect of the surplus for
export being greater than 1t ever previously
has been. During the past few days light rains
have again fallen, and no weather could be
more favorable than we have hitherto had"
The Australian harvest occurs in January.
THE WHEAT OUTLOOK ON THE LA Plata
In letter from the Province of Buenos Az res,
Argentine Republic. october ls. published in
the Liverpool Corn Trade News. the writer in
speaking Of wheat prospects says
81. Is very difficult to form an estimate of
what the total acreage is, or what the crop is
likely to be- and I think an equal difficulty
exists in getting at the quantity required for
home consumption. 1t is very certain that
cultivation is extending very rapidly in the
South. The winter In the South has been
harder than any fer several years. and, so far
the spring has been as favorable as II could be
for the growing crops, and as result they
look very well indeed. The fear of drought
has been dispelled by good soaking rains the
past week, which have been very general
through the Province. Speaking generally, 1t
is considered in the wheat districts OF the
Province of Buenos Ayres that given present
prospects fulfilled, the crop will be quite two
! and a-half times that Of last year. In Santa
Fe, am told. the acreage planted is about
equal to last year (rather over than under)
but in some districts that Province drought
was threatening. Heavy rains are reported
| from there also. SO that danger has been
averted. Putting all things together. whilst 1
would not care TO venture on the probable
surplus that is likely to be available for export
in the ensuing season L certainly thinkthst the
present prospects point TO considerable in
crease on any previous years shipments from
| the Rio de Ia Plata"
