When the blood is impure,
thick and sluggish, or think and
Impoverished, there can be no
health. With these conditions,
taff the functions of the body are
impaired, and the result is a vari.
ETY. Of dangerous complications.
The Best remedy is Ayers Sarsap-
arilla.
There was fearful wreck Of
the IF. i. train near White
Sulphur Springs at Z 20 o'clock
last Saturday morning. Twelve
men were killed and mere than,
twenty injured Among the=kill-=
ed are Hale Morrison, Of Charles
ton, and Baggage Master Banks
dale, and among the wounded is
Conductor Schweichart, Of Hunt
ington. Col. K. L. Buttrick, of
Charleston, was Oh the train, but
escaped unhurt.
Believing that Logan county,
the banner Democratic county OF
the State, should have a paper
owned and controlled by Demo-
Gratis, we, on the 9Th dayef March,
1889 flung. our BANNER to the
breeze. Fifty miles from any
railroad, and with mail facilities
so poor as to take three days to
receive nail from any point on,
1.-The railroad, and with the fact
staring us in the face that three
papers, all known as the logan
Democrat one of which was
edited by a Greenbacker, and two
by Republicans, had gone down
for want Of patronage, we COM
menccd our enterprise, we'll know
ING Tie difficulties by which we
were surrounded. We have now
for fforty5four weeks furnished the
best paper of which we were cap
able Our home patronage is not
what we have wished, but our
outside patronage has been better
than we could have expected, and
upon the whole we haYe cause to
congratulate ourselves upon eur
success. In=the beginning We es-
ttabl The cash sste,al,=alaMe
intend to adhere to it, No paper
viii be sent unless paid for, and
will be stopped upon the terlniA-
alton Of the subscription. Our
arrangement for mechanical work
for 1890 has been made. We
Ef have fl Il established-orr- plant.
We shall knoM- no such word as
fail, and wishing all Of our patrons
La happy and prosperous new year,
we promise them live Demo
cratic paper for the ensuing year.
1899 With its joys and its sor.
rows, its trinmphs and its defeats,
its promises kept and its promises
broken, now belongs to thehistor
ic poge. No part of it can ever
t be recalled, none offs=itts mistakes
can be rectifed. 9 We are. .noS3
face to face with the New Y ear Of
1890. What shall we write upon
{ its new unlettered page? Shall
our actions bring happiness or
misery to our homes! Shall the
faces of our loved ures be fiigrted
up with smiles, or shall their
cheeks be believed with tears?
What shall we do as citizens of
| the grand old county of Logan to
suppress crime, and to elevate its
moral tone I? These are serious
reflections. Sensational cores
pondents of our.city dailies have
done much to make the people of
| the outside world shun us, and to
idestory our future development.
While these reports have been
loyerdrawn, some af them, alas !!
are too true. The Illicit sale of
