Health and Happiness

Honey of Figs Is the queen of all cathar-
tics. syraps or pills. One anticipates its
taking with pleasure. No other remedy
sells so well or gives such satisfaction. 1t
acts gently on inactive bowels or liver, re-
lieves the kidneys, cures constipation. colds,
fevrrs. nervous headaches, ETC. and restores
the beauty OF health. Ladies' and children
prefer it. Doctors and druggists recon-
mend it, The Fig Honey Co of San Fran
cisco make it, Try bottle. Only one
cent dose. johnson a. Henderson, sole

Why did John Randolph Of Roanoke "
sign himself SO; WIx.
He was following a custom which was
somewhat in vogue. Roanoke is the name
of a creek in Charlotte county on which a
portion of his landed estate was situated,
while .he portion on which his house was
located was on stanton river. But Ran
dolph Of Roanoke was more euphonious
than Randolph of stanton; 50 he chose
the former.

FROM THE HOTEL PORCH.

1t Is March court-day. The citizens
have donned their Sunday clothes. The
people from the county are expected to
come to town TO see each other. as they
have been at home generally during the
cold winter months, to buy goods, to at
tend court. and 10 participate IN the gene
raj muster Of the militia. You see them
coming from every direction on all the
roads leading into town-on horseback,
atoot, in wagons, IN buggles, in barouches,
in gigs, and IN every conceivable impro-
vised methods of conveyance-some IN
groups, some single and alone. Some
ahght at the hotels and their horses are
put in the stables, and some hitch them
to posts on the side streets and GO TO visit
their friends. You must not imagine that
the scene looks like what you may
see in the city when Franklin street turns
out on q lovely evening for drive on the
Reservoir roads. Not at all. The horses
are rough and incurred, and not like
they were Just from the livery stable.
They are just from the plow. The vehi-
cles do not shine in the sun; they are
more or less splashed with mud; nor are
their fair occupants adorned with the gay
bonnets and the rich apparel OF our city
bellies but in their calico dresses and their
becoming, simple headgear, with their
sparkling eyes, rosy cheeks, and smiling
countenances. exhibiting pictures OF
health and happiness, many OF them are
the peers In beauty OF the lovellest women
anywhere. even IN these latter days.

NERVE IN BUSINESS

There is a very striking editorial III
the New York journal OF Commerce
of the 10th inst Nothing, it seems
to US, could be more timely or better
in the way OF advice. 1t begins:
There is a degree of prudence that
is almost as dangerous as reckless
speculation III business, and it is now
time for some bankers and merchants
to ask themselves whether their eau

nobody will trust any one business
must come to a full stop, but it is
not the best policy for the individual
or the community to precipitate the

it. 1t is not for the in

but to the individual bankers, mer-

up so essential a part of the COM

in motion. The people have not yet
suffered greatly in their ability to
buy. What Is needed
now is courage, pluck, confidence,
not more in business men than by

confidence are passing away, and

be entirely withheld and every man
act as if disaster had already befallen
the country. The prudent mariner
takes in sail when a gale approaches
but he does not strip his spars and
let his vessel roll in the trough OF the
