SCrOfula, Salt Rheum
And All other Blood Dlseases-How
They May Be Cured.

Speaking simply from what Hood's Sar-
saparilla has done, not only once or twice,
but in thousands of cases, we can honestly
say that it is the best remedy for all dis
eases of the blood, whatever the cause.
By its peculiar Com bination, Proper
ton and Process, it possesses positive
medicinal merit Peculiar to Itself.
It has cured the most virulent cases
of Scrofula and Salt Rheum, even when
all other prescriptions and medicines
have failed to do any good.
Blood poisoning, from whatever ort-
gin, yields to its powerful cleansing, puri-
tying, vitalizing effect upon the blood. II

There is every reason to believe now
that the cases of the hotel men against
the City Council will not come up at
this term of Circuit Court. The early
part of the week a continuance was
asked for by ]. w. Mcintyre on account
of serious illness in his family which
has since terminated fatally. The cases
were to have been argued to-day, but
on account of the above it IS possible
they will go over until the October
term of court The temperance ele-
ment seem to be determined to stamp
out the liquor traffic in this place if
possible and they are moving heaven
and earth to accomplish their object.
There is no reason to believe they will
succeed to a satisfactory measure.
Should they manage to have the places
now running in the city closed up,
there will be speak-easies in every
patch of willows along the river shore
lust as it was several years ago. Oil
men are a class of people who will have
their liquor, and there is no use trying
to keep it away from them. What the
outcome of the fight for temperance VIII
be is interesting a large number Of per-
sons. not only in this city, but also in
other places.

Sistersville, w. Va, August 16.-The
Circuit Court and grand jury, now in
session at Middlebourne, are combina-
ton that are making the liquor men of
this city very anxious now. The court
convened on Tuesday and since that
time there have been number Of the
saloon men of this place and vicinity
up and have been dealt with very Sc
verely. One man who was taken to
AHddlebourne to appear as witness
againsta man already indicted was lock-
ed up himself on an old Indictment and
later was given so days in Jail. The
hotel men are also coming in for their
share of the fun and during the week
one of them was found guilty OF three
indictments, but so far has not appear
ed to receive sentence. AS soon as he
heard that the judge had imposed
sentence of $500 fine and 80 days in jail,
he jumped in buggy with his wife ana
left Middlebourne. The Sheriff got out
a capias for him and telephoned here
for the police to arrest him as soon as
he arrived, but the fellow was too slick
for them. He left his wife out in the
country and she drove the rig into the
city. 1t is not known where he went TO-
but it is supposed he walked across the
country to the railroad and left Tor MS
home, which is somewhere out OF the
State. A man named Chambers was
given the same dose. He was employed
by r. J. Campbell, the bother, on Water
street. There are others who Will be
sentenced before the court adjourns and
and it is very likely the most OF them
will get pretty salty doses. In the case
of the man first mentioned, an attempt
was made to have it continued, the law
yers claiming that he could not attend
court and yet at the same time he was
in Middlebourne. The Judge knew the
fellow was in the town and that Is per-
haps one reason why he imposed such
heavy fine and imprisonment.

missing advocate of Temperance, both
local and national. He has been a to-
tai abstainer for 10 years.
He is member of the First Baptist
Church, but does not drink commun-

to coerce him, he fully demonstrated
his ability TO defend his position as to
Bible truths and Baptist doctrine
His success was final and the Church
gave up the case.
He was member of the National

convened in New York.
BY an untiring effort he has lifted
himself from obscurity to the places of
prominence he now occupies.

which'is the Oldest and largest branch
of our colored Associations.
His work in the Y. M. @. A. is too
well known to speak of it here.
In 1891 he was elected a teacher in
Richmond public schools, which posi-
tion he still holds. AS a teacher he
has been faithful and progressive. He
teaches in Fulton School, one of the
most responsible positions in the sys-
tenn
AS young man he is liberal though
saving and economical He keeps an
account of every cent expended, and
has never thrown away a dollar.

though the majority may dissent from
his views on certain questions. He
loves literature, has an unsurpassed
library, and believes inkeeping up with
the times.
He lives quietly at 1900 Marshall St
