"Uncle Lewis" Grotian, OF Dalton
was at the capital Wednesday. He
advises the farmers who raise tobacco
next season to plant the hurley
variety exclusively, and says that
will bring a much better price on the
market than old style. "Uncle Lew
is" has had years of experience in
the tobacco business, and We believe
his advice as TO what varieties of the
weed it is most profitable to raise is
worthy of being followed.

REV. CHARLES MADDEN SPUR
\GEON.
The Story of His Life and Labors.

The Story of His Life and Labors.
This very attractive volume contains
a graphic account of the life and labors
of Rev. 6. Fl. Sturgeon. It portraya
in glowing cOlOrs the billiant career of
the most celebrated preacher of modern
times, his matchless eloquence, his
tender pathOs, ready wit, and his Won
full mastery over the human heart.
It is an intensely interesting nara
tive of DR.. Surgeons life, and is en-
riched with the choicest of his sermons
and lectures, and with a vast collection
of thrilling extracts from his most
famous writings.
This comprehensive vOlumei is divided
into three parts.
Book l. contains the great preachers
history. It relates in a most delightful
manner the Incidents of his early life,
shows you the boy preacher at the age
of sixteen, and traces his marvellous
successes in the great metropolis. It
describes the immense metropolitan
tabernacle and it's vast throngs, among
whom were not only the poor and Tilt
crate, but the most famous persons of
the realm, including Gladstone, Bright,
Shaftesbury, and multitudes Of others.
DR.. SpurgeOn was not merely a pOpu-
lar preacher; he was a sunny, genial,
witty, great-hearted man. He was
bold as Luther Dr. Knox, yet possessed
dep sympathies, fiery zeal, loving
charity, and carried on many enter
prises for the welfare Of the poor and
unfortunate. This work describes his
college, where hundreds Of poor young
men were educated, and his orphanage,
which sheltered thousands of homeless
children.
Book II. contains DIR. Surgeons
most celebrated sermons and lectures,
and Book III. comprises a vast collec
ton of witty, wise, pathetic. eloquent
extracts from the famous preachers
writings.
The r. D. Robinson Publishing Com
pany, of this city, are the publishers of
this superb work. 1t contains 500
pages and will be sold by agents for the
small price of 81. so.

In years previous there has been
much bossism in politics, but we think
this year that the people will have a
say as to who shall manage the affairs
of this country. 1t is true that in the
past they have been allowed to vote
for the nominees, but in many instan-
ces they did not have a voice in select
ing them.

and make up the ticket, and the voters
would fall into line.

what her station, whether reared in

her position make fearful expenditures

the freshness of feature and elasticity
Of muscle are gone. She says she is
not sick but only tired, and therefore
needs no medicine because medicine was
intended for sickness. Some of these
days she may realize the fact that she
needs medicine and has needed it a
long time. Why not save years of
suffering and happiness by taking
medicine now? The Capital Female

cases. Those who have tried it say they
