Public School Celebration.

and recommending its observance by the
American people by suitable exercises
in the public schools and other places of
have been issued by the governors of
New York, Illinois, Minnesota and Flor
ida. Other States will doubtless follow
the example in q few days
This We think step in the right dis
rection. The 40Oth anniversary of the
discovery of America should be made
the occasion of impressing the history OF
our country upon the young, which end
can be accomplished in no way better
than by a proper observance of the day
set apart.
The Governor of Virginia is not au-
thorized, we believe, by any special leg
islative enactment to proclaim the 21st
of October as general holiday, but
there could be no objection to his is
suing a proclamation recommending
that the day be observed as a public
school holiday, and that appropriate ex>
ercises be conducted in all the school
houses. This we hope will be done, that
the children may be instructed and in
terested in all that is being done by our
people commemorative of an event so
potent in our history.

THE CONVENTION.

A Big Day for Clifton Democrats.
The Democratic Convention for the
Tenth Congressional District will be
held in our city to day. On behalf of
the people we desire to welcome all who
may attend. The gathering will doubt
less be smaller than it would be. if there
were any opposition to the nomination
of our present Representative, Harry st
George Tucker.
AS it is the gathering is virtually a
formal ratification of the nomination al
ready made by the Democratic party of
the district. The denomination OF
Tucker is foregone conclusion.
Unfortunately Mr.. Tucker could not
be present. 1t was his purpose to h
here, but his services were needed ia
Washington. and he was unwilling to
leave his post of duty even to look after
personal interests. A mass meeting will
be held tonight by the Democrats
which will be addressed by JAS. l.. Cor
don, Charlottesville, and perhaps others
The convention will be held in the
new Opera House; the first gathering OF
any kind to occupy it, The house has
not been finished in all its details, but
substantially so. and is at once credit
to its proprietors and to our citizens.
Again we welcome to our midst all the
visitors on this occasion, and trust moth
ing may be omitted on the part of oul
people to add to the pleasure of oul

Healthy mmunity-Doctors Hav.
ing Nothing to Do, 60 Fishing.

We are informed by DR.. C. r. Lewis,
that there has not been a case of typhoid
fever in Clifton Forge since last fall, and
that the community has been free from
all other epidemic and endemic dis
eases. When you take into considera-
ton the fact, that Clifton il new town,
the sanitary regulations of which must
of necessity. be imperfect, and also in
view of the heated term through which
we are passing, this is remarkable
record. This is the atmosphere for in>
valids, and all others who appreciate
perfect health. The doctors, having
very few patients to see after, have de-
cided to go angling, and engage in other
pastimes, until their professional ser.
vices are needed.
We venture the assertion that Clifton
Forge is the healthiest city in Virginia,
or any other State for that matter

neld MIN fast. 30 the Drotner lost nearr,
for he feared 20 enter the circle lest the
enchantment should fall on him; and he
went back home to tell of his failure.
Then tho mother rose up, ami taking
the charm which the fairy man had given
her, she hung il round her neck and went
forth TO look for the missing son. And
at last she came to tho field and saw him
dancing. and dancing like mad with the
witch girl in his arms; and she called to
him: Como back. come back to us,
Brian. darling; come back: II Is your
mother calls" But Brian danced on and
on, and never looked at her nor needed
her. Then, for the sorrow made her
brave. she went over In the very midst Of
the fairy dancers with their glittering
eyes. and taking the spell from her neck,
she flung 1t over Brian. and clasping his
arm laid her head down on his shoulder,
weeping bitterly. Then. all at once, the
demon spell was broken. for mothers
tears have strange power, and he let her
take his hand and draw him away from
the magic circle; and the form of the
fairy bride seemed to melt into the sun
set, and the whole scene passed away
like mist, the music and tho dancers
with their floating hair, and only Brian
and his mother were left in the field.
Then she led him home, but he spake no
word, only lay down to sleep, and so for
seven days they watched by him, but
still he slept Then at the end of seven
days he rose up strong and well as ever,
and all the past seemed to him only as
dream. Yet, for fear of the fairies, his
mother still made him wear the magic
spell round his neck to keep him from
harm, though in process Of time still
stronger spell was woven round his life,
for he married fair young girl Of tho
village before the next Whitsuntide, good
as well as beautiful, and from that time
the fairies and witches had no power
over him, for pure, true wife Is the
best safeguard against witchcraft and
devils wiles that a man can take to his
heart as the angel Of the house.--Lady
Wilde in Pail Mall Gazette.

Meat and Water Diet Gives Strength

Sir Francis Head tried the diet Of the
Pampas Indians, which consists of the
flesh of mares, for these savages eat
neither bread, fruit nor vegetables. He
says:
After ! had been riding three or four
months, and had lived on beef and water,
found myself in condition which can
only des Nibe by saying that felt that no
exertion could kill me, although con-
stantly arrived so completely exhausted
that ! could not speak; yet a few hours
sleep upon my saddle on the ground al
ways so completely restored me that for
week / could daily be upon my horse
before sunrise, could ride till two or
three hours after sunset, and have really
tired ten or twelve horses a day. This
will explain the immense distances which
people in South America are said to ride,
which am confident could only be done
on beef and water.

Medical Discovery. 1t starts the

processes of digestion and nutri-

strength. It's the only Blood and
Liver Remedy that's guaranteed, in
every case, to benefit or cure. If it
doesn't do all that's claimed for it,
the money is promptly refunded.
But it keeps its promises that's
the reason it can be sold in this
way.
