EX-SENATOR LEwIs.-The Harrison
burg Register has the following about
ex.U. S. Senator and exit. Governor
of Virginia, Hon. John F. Lewis
"Hon. John F. Lewis grows gradually
worse, suffering constantly, and can
find no relief. His physician thinks it
only a question of a few weeks when
his sufferings will be ended by death.
His daughter, Mrs. Penrose Ions, OF
Tom Green county, Texas, has
arrived at Lynwood, where her
presence will no doubt go far
towards alternating the suffering
of her parent. Mr.. Lewis still con-
tinues his buggy rides whenever the
weather permits, and displays an
amount of strength and determination
wonderful in a man of bis age, suffering
as he does from the constant inroads
made by the cancer, which is now at
tacking his throat"

THE striking cloak makers in New
York are now appealing to the char
liable people of that city for contribu-
tons to keep them from starving. II
they can tell what good, striking has
done them during this merry sea-
son, when almost every body
else is happy, they can do more
than any one else can. But
strikes have a peculiar fascination
for that class of people who if prayed
in mortars would still be the same.

THE REPUBLICANS are not now, and
never were, logical or consistent. They
regard Only the present, and, to meet
the whims thereof, resort to silly make
shifts. Since they cannot annex Hawaii,
they have turned their attention to
Canada, and are now pushing resolu-
ton in the U. S. Senate inviting that
portion of the British empire to unite
itself with the United States. And all
this, too, though they are rank protec-
tionists, and even now assert that free
trade with Canada-which, of course,
would be the result of the union re-
ferred to-would infict ruin upon all
sorts of business in the States bordering
on that country.

THE REPUBLICANS in North Caro-
lima have consented to allow the popu.
lists to have the short termed Senator
ship from that State, but demand the
long term for one of their own men.
They are very moderate. They ought
to take both terms, and if they should,
the popnlists would be treated just ex-
actly right, as they have less sense than
the republicans, and hate their own
people more than the republicans do,
but lack the moral courage to say so.

In speaking of Dr. David Kennedy g
Favorite Remedy, Mrs. James E. Beach,
of Rosendale, N. Y, says "About seven
years ago was sufferer from kidney
disease, so sick and helpless, ! could not
walk step. My physician could do me
no good, so began to use DR.. Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy, and from the very first
dose could see improvement, and it en-
tirely cured. My husband used it for
dyspepsia with excellent result, Favorite
Remedy dissolves the excess Of uric acid
in the blood, thus curing disease. Most
of the ailments people suffer with come
from acid in the blood. For instance,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, kidney, liver and
urinary troubles, and the ills peculiar to
women, all arise from this cause, and are
cured by DIR. David Kennedys Favorite
Remedy.

by the indiscriminate and excessive school

Pale lips, languor, little eagerness for
play, irritability, and loss Of strength,
show shat the close application is making
sad inroads upon their health. There
should be no delay in building up the

nerves with Paine's celery compound.
Parents find their children quickly gain
strength and color and increased weight
from this remarkable nerve food. 1t is
peculiarly suited to the needs OF their
weakened powers of digestion and assim-
ilation.
During the school year thousands of
children pursuing studies with an ambi.

with their strength, have been enabled to
keep in school and at work and to recover
health and nerve strength by a careful
use Of Paines celery compound, first pre-.
scribed by Dartmouth's great professor,
Edward e. Phelps, NJ D., LID Parents
who have studied the problem Of how to
build up their children's health while at
school have found that Paine's celery
compound brought vigor and strength by
keeping the blood pure and the nerves
aud tissues richly nourished
Physicians in all parts of the county
earnestly recommend Paine's celery com
