VIRGINIA FOR QUAY.
From the New York SUM-


If any ore will take the trouble to
look at the Sun of Oct. 81, he may read
these words: sit is Senator Quay's be-
lief that Col. Lamb, of Norfolk, whom
Quay most earnestly desired should be
the candidate for Governor at the time
when Malone insisted on takingit him.
self, will take the leadership OF the re-
publican party in Virginia. Senator
Quay saws it will be broader, more
liberal, and far more successful leader
ship, shan that of General Malone,
whose imperiousness and Jealousies
aliepated republicans and bitterly in
tensifed democrats against him."
Under date of Nov. % this dispatch
from Petersburg, Va, was published in
the Philadelphia papers of Nov. 20, Just
five weeks after the leadership of Col.
Lamb was foreshadowed in the Sun:
"The Virginia republicans to-day re-
sumed their conference, and Col. Lamb,
of Norfolk, was chosen Mahone's sue
cessor as leader of the republicans OF
Virginia, he being made chairman of
the State committee. and also Virginia's
representative on the republican ma
tional committee"
The republicans of Virginia have
elected Col. Lamb as their leader in
Virginia. He will vote for Pittsburg
as the place of the next republican con-
vention, and twenty-six delegates from
Virginia will be found voting with SEN
ator Quay in the next national republi-
can convention ; perhaps for Quay.

How to Prevent Group.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE
INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS. HOW
TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin OF Group
is common cold. Children who are
subject to it take cold very easily and
Group is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon
followed by a peculiar rough cough,
which is easily recognized and will
never be forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time to act is when the
child first becomes hoarse. If Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is freely given
all tendency to Group will soon disap-
pear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the
attack. There is no danger in giving
this remedy for it contains nothing
injurious. For sale by L. Stabler & Co.
