With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. Ii
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

CHASE CITY, VA, April 16.-Mr.
Joseph L. Smith, farmer, living
about three miles from this town, met
with a serious misfortune Tuesday
night. His stables, crib and adjoining
houses were totally destroyed by fire.
In addition large quantity of forage,
grain. implements, two horses and two
vehicles were consumed. After the fire
an examination of the ruins was made
and the charred remains of two farm
hands-Tom Daniel and Pink Baptist
were found. 1t is supposed they
were sleeping in the stables and the

THE A. P. A. PARTY.-It is stated
that the late election in Kansas City
was carried by the vote of the A. r A.
party. assisted by the Republicans.
Fi,a alliance between thetwo was com
pete, and was kept secret as much
as possible. This new party, from all
appearances, is growing rapidly all
over the country, and threatens to
have controlling influence over cleo
tons especially at the north and por
tions of the west. 1t is a dangerous
organization, secret in it's plans and
operations, and on the order of the cid
dark lantern party" of 1856 1t brings
sectarianism into politics contrary to
the fundamental principles of our gov
ernment. The organization is extend
ing itself over portions Of the South
and it needs to be watched by all
friends of popular liberty and free gov
ernment. In 1856 the old Know Moth
iny party received it's death blow in
Virginia under the leadership of Henry
A Wise for governor of the State. We
shoald never permit the new A. p. A.
party to have a footing within our
borders. NeaCs.

Carlisle has written his letters to
those gold bug Democrats who are
Withholding their votes from Black
burn, but there is no crumb OF com
fort to the silver men in it. He
simply writes that he does not think
it proper for him to advise either
way. This shows that Carlisle is a
Democrat for party pap only, and
he is not going to the full end of
his tether to serve his party for
fear of CALLING his own neck. We
have too many men of Carlisle cali
bre in the party now, and this gold
bug movement on their part will
cause wedding out of many of
them. They should fly to Black

!. D. Loving, of Bowling
Green, KY, Thrown
From a Moving
Train.
THE MOTIVE A MYSTERY.
The Wounded Man Held an Accident
Policy For Fifteen ThouS-
and Dollars.

There has been in this city for
the past week two gentlemen,
travelling men, who are known here
as Hugh Stubblefeld and ], D, Low
ing.
They have been rooming togeth-
er over Louis Heilbron's jewelry
store, corner of Broad and State
Line Avenue, and during the day
they would take the trains out of
here and sell their wares, or rather,
take orders for their houses and re-
tuln to this city at night.
Last night J. D. Loving left for
Fulton, having learned that he
could sell a good bill there, and be-
fore the train on which he had TAX
en- passage, had gotten out of the
yard, and while he was passing from
one coach to another, he was rude
ly pushed from the train, falling in
such manner as to have his arm
crushed by the wheels.
DR.. ]. W. Talbot was called to at
tend the wounded man and he ask
ed Drs, Mcmahon and Kittrell to
assist him in amputation, as it was
seen the arm could not be saved.
The wounded man said when he
was pushed from the train that he
had a pocket-book, containing $50,
or maybe $40, and that it was miss
ing now.
He does not know who pushed
him from the train, or for what mo-
tive unless it was for robbery,
The wounded man is about 30
years old, heavy built, and is re-
ported to be worth some $40, 900.
1t is also reported that Mr.. Low
ing holds an accident policy for
$l5, 900.
The reporter called at the Cos
mopolitan Hotel this morning to
see the wounded man, but learned
he was having stomach trouble, aud
it was advisable not to have him
talk.
The matter involves a great deal
of money and will be sifted to the
bottom and the guilty party found,
if possible,
Mr.. Loving will recover, no doubt.
His sickness of today is caused from
the -chloroform administered, no
doubt, and will soon pass off, after
which we will try and get his state
ment in full OF the matter.

Harrod and Jones on the
Hastings and out Strictly
for Fun.
JONES THE NEW MOSES.
Harrod Says if the Devil Was Nom
mated at Chicago, and Roths-
child Wrote the Platform,
He Would ABIDE the
Result

Col. Dan Jones and Mr.. Harrod
spoke last night at Little Rock. on
their Gubernatorial canvass. They
had a running fight of Interruptions
and these interruptions always
caused a laugh.
Col. Jones says he is not what
you could call, an enthusiastic ad-
mirer or endorser of Grover Cleve-
land and Carlisle, and he would
never consent to be led by Cleveland
into the radical camp, "If" he
continued, such states as PennsyI-
vania, Vermont and New Hamp-
shire controlled the convention and
nominate a goldbug, he would not
abide by such action. He was not
like his youthful friend, Harrod
who said: "If the devil was nom
mated and Rothschild wrote the
platform, he (Harrod) would abide
by it. The speech throughout was
4 l6 to l document without any
frills OF quavers. Mr.. Harrod's
reply was red hot balls from the
shoulder. He said Col. Jones was
no longer a candidate before the
people as a convention Democrat
for he said plainly that he would
walk out if the platform did not
suit him. Mr., Harrod charged that
Dan Jones had asked Cleveland at
one time to appoint him district
attorney and had Cleveland acceded
to the Colonel's request, the Colo
mel would now be sitting in the
Cleveland amen corner shouting Tor
Cleveland and Carlisle Col. Jones
interrupted here and said he had
not asked for any appointment
from Cleveland.
Mr.. Harrod then withdrew The
charge.
Mr.. Jones acknowledged that
his friends had asked for his ap-
pointment, whereupon Mr.. Harrod
pictured Colonel Jones in the event
he had received the appointment,
and the crowd went wild with
merrlment.
The campaign promises to be an
interesting one and we hope the
Gubanatorial zoo will make dates
for this place.
