TWO Visible Comets,

Both Faye's and Swift's comets, both of
which are periodic, have.been visible to astron-

They are now receding and are going off on

and will soon be too distant to be observed
even through the largest telescopes.

Va. Livestock Fair,

The exhibition of the Virginia Livestock
Fair Association, on the grounds of the Bal

yesterday. The entries are numerous and the
exhibition will be good one At this writing,
Tuesday morning, the indications are that fair
weather will prevail during the Fair, but of
this there is no certainty, for it is especially
true of the weather that no man can tell what
day will bring forth. Fair weather would
be good for the Fair but bad for the farmers
in their seeding operations as good rain is
greatly needed

STAUNTON. VA, Oct. 18th. 1895.
The only changes to report this week are in
the prices of oats and wheat which we now
quote as follows
Oats % to "a cts. Wheat 6S cents, which is
three cents more than it is quoted in Balti-
more, which shows that our millers here pay
as much as they can do without suffering loss.
This liberality our farmers no doubt appreci-
ate as they should do.

ing for MIR. Cleveland. 1t was not,

ia such way as to win applause and
confidence. But it was found that he
voted for Cleveland in 1892, and then
trouble commenced. The rich members
of the church refused to pay, and the
preacher is to go. One of the dissatis-
fed is described as wealthy and in
fluential citizen, who, with his imme-
diate relatives, has heretofore contrib
uted large part of the pastors salary.
He will pay no more. Here is the sub

hear this expression. What does it mean It
means that people are losing flesh, growing
thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition is to i'm
prove the digestion. The condition arises from
an inability to eat and digest food In fact
food does more harm than good because it
ferments and putrefies in the stomach, de-
veloping poisonous substances which when
absorbed causes various disorders
What is required is that the stomach be
made to perform its duties. The Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial is food already digested and
dgester of foods as well. 1t will make the
stomach healthy. Get book from the drug

The successful inventor must now be

many or so rapid a course of improve

latest perfected machine Is und)ubt-
edly the williams Typewriter which
represents a vast amount of cumula-
tive invention.
John Newton Williams, the inventor,
was born In 1S45. in Brooklyn, New

the western frontier. Subsequently he
settled in Kentucky, where he became
known as one of the most successful
stock breeders of the state.
But 1t is as an inventor that he has
won his national reputation. Several
most useful and important inventions
were made by him before the pro-
duced the Williams typewriter, a ma
chine that probably excels all others
in the most important features.

expended in bringing the machine that
bears his name to dts present perfec,

Some four years ago, when engaged
in experimental work on the Williams,
was putting in about 16 hours per
day Of hard work and worry, and
came near breaking down. Although
very particular and regular in my
habits, and careful about eating, my

to eat, and more difficult to digest
