Happiness.

In all ages OF the world happiness
has been and will be the great aim
of mankind. It's promotion was tie
object of all creation. 1t has two
forms, external and internal. The
external consists in pleasing the
physical and mental faculties. This
is the most commonly sought and
enjoyed, but it affords as much lets
satisfaction than the internal as tie
finite is less than the infinite. Tie
internal is often sought in vain. Men
have endeavored to obtain it by the
accumulation of riches, but in vain.
They have searched for it in the at
tainment Of fame and power, but
without success. Science and ait
have never discovered it. 1t comes
only from God; it is the love of God.
This is true happiness. 1t gives
peace to the weary soul and Joy to
the sad heart. 1t turns trials and
sorrows into bliss. Ithelps US better
to enjoy the external. The internal
is abiding, but the external comes
and goes like the hours. and in a
time of trouble is not to be found.

est skirts for utility dresses are some.

and costumes of gauzy fabrice retain
the fulIness of the past winter, but
the tendency Of all skirts of the pres.
ent ephcch is to bring the greater
part of the fullness directly in the
back. Street costumes are popular

which will largely surpersede the
blazer for the coming summer. The
Eton is cut rather short on the hips
with pointed or square postillion ef.
fects in the back and with q front or.
nameuted With plain or fancy revere.
Tne new Louis XIV coat models are
very elegant with wide revers and
with their hip pockets on the vest.
The Spring sleeves from the best
New York houses are slightly smaller
with a dropping shoulder effect.
Many of the imported sleeves are
made with several ruflss, Jockeys,
shoulder capes or elbow puffs over q
tight lining. The Bishop sleeve is
the favorite for washing materials,
as well as for skirt waist. This sleeve
is often tucked or trimmed with
bands of insertion. Silk waists still
form part Of the costume, though
those in the Louis form are more
popular than the drsped or shurred
waists of last season. The outside
jackets for early spring are slightly
shorter than those of last season.

of the Democratic party was gotten
up by the farmers and laboring class
GENERALLY and for for the benefit Of
these classes, as we'll as that of
others, and we feel it our duty,
bound heart and hand, to endeavor to
select the most available man belong
ing to these classes as candidate
for the office of Governor, and one
who will not promise great things to
secure office knowing at the same
time that he will no ard cannot re-
deem them. Let US have a candi-
date who has ever stuck to his party
and one who can be safely trusted
with the State and her business in
every emergency.
The man whom we would suggest
for a candidate for that office is the
we'll known Capt. D. J. Griffith OF
Lewiedale. He is a farmer pure and
simple, and he has ever stuck to his
party and the rights of the people.
Hoping that the Captain will enter
the race, I beg to remain, yours very

What We Inherit

We are not to blame for. We can
not be responsible for the dispo-
sitions and tendencies which we
derive from cur ancestors, nor are we
responsible for the germs of disease
which may manifest themselves in
our blood as heritage from former
generations. But we are RESPONSE
bic if We allow these germs to de-
velop into serious diseases which
will impair our usefulness and de-
stroy our happiness. We are re.
sponsible if we transmit to our

it is possible for US to eradicate by
the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla, the one
true blood purifier. This medicine
has power to make rich, red blood
