To cure all old sores, to heal an
indolent ulcer, or to speedily cure
piles, you need simply to apply De-
Wits Witch Hazel Salve according
to directions. Its magic-like action
will surprise you. Orndorf &

strengthening, and not weakening,

qualities of DeWitt's Little Early
Risers, the famous little pills. Orn-

We have some more fine pOrkers
to report this week. When itcomes
to fine cattle and hogs Highland is
"strictly in it, "and all that is lack
ing to bring her farmers to the
front as stock ralsers, is for little
more general interest to be taken.
As we suggested sometime ago, a
stock fair would be a great thing
for the county, and the leading far
mers should, by all means, 90 to
work and get it up at once. This
week, Taylor Daus herty. who lives
on Mr.. L. H. Stephenson's farm,
near Meadow Dale, killed four hogs
and their average weight was 4l0$
pounds, Mr. Jasper Simmons, of
Crabbottom, killed one which |
weighed 607 pounds.
We have a frst-class, mans rid
ing saddle which we will sell cheap |
for cash or on six months time to
person. Arbogast & Sla-
zen, Monterey, Va.

cad of horses, which they will
'ade for cattle. This kind Of trad
lg has been kept up for some I
me by Mr.. Freeman and others, !,
nd the one good feature to the :

is that it has rid the county Of a L
lumber of worthless old horses. il
he kind of cattle brought back is v
OF very desirable and shows up n
IDLY with our short horns, &C.. but -
ley can be handle1 to a much bet )
r advantage than the old horses. h
