Literary Notes.

THE CAUCASIAN acknowledges re-
ceipt of book entitled Life of
Braxton Craven" by Prof. Jerome
Dowd, of Trinity College. This lit
tie volume will commend itself to all
of DIR. Craven's old students. The
story Of DR.. Craven is we'll and strik-
iugly told and many parts of it reads
more like romance than reality. 1t
Is written in an interesting and Wig
orous style, and the writer arouses
and holds the attention Of the reader
to the final paragraph. We COM
mend the book to all and bespeak
for it liberal circulation, one COM
memsurate with its real merit. We
thank Mr.. Dowd for his la Dor of love.
Marshall Delaney Haywood has
written a brief narrative of Gov
ernor Burlington. This book will
prove of great interest to North Car

Besides these, more short stories will
appear in the Weekly than it has
been possible to publish during 1896
A sequel to 1.-The House Boat on the

Expected novel, "The Marian" Tn,

very beginning Of his career. From
this fact and from the hint convene,
IN the introduction it seems not uu
likely that Mr.. du Murier, following
the example of Fielding and Thack
cray, will attempt in 1.-THE Marian
to portray the character of a man i
the same catholic spirit in whic

Feds In Medicine.

There are fads in medicine as in
every thing else and new thing
frequently sell for a short time simply
because it is new. But in medicine.
as in nothing else, the people demand
aud will be satisfied only with posi-
tive, absolute merit. The fact that
Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood its
ground against all competition, and
It's sales have never wavered but have
remained steadily at the top, demon
strates, beyond any doubt, the intrinsic
virtues Of this medicine. The new
things have come and gone but Hoods
Sarsaparilla rests upon the solid
foundation Of absolute merit and it's
power to cure, and it's sales continue
to be the largest in the world.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept =. 1896.
Political Club organization has
proven one Of the most elective sd
iuncts TO campaign work that has
ever been devised. The present
campaign has brought into existence
more clubs than any other known in
the history OF the country. The
Peoples Party must not lag behind
the procession. There should be
Peoples Party Club in every town
ship in America and, where the
party is strong, in every schco. dis
trict. There should be one IN each
village, and in each city clubs should
be organized by wards. These
clabs can be not only an important
help in the present campaign, but
they can also be permanent good
to the party.
Here is the plan: Let each State
committee recommend. through the
public press and through the regu-
lar party organization, the starting
Of Popuiists clubs in every precinct
in the State. No organizers are ne
cessary for this, although State or
ganizers and county organizers may
be appointed. But in the main the
people should organize for them
selves. These clubs are to be open
are to ld.wsekly meetings during
the campaign and after that - Of
ten AS they see fit. They are 10 re

Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer

The Bed Room Couch.

Every bedroom should, if possible,
contain couch, if it be only OF wick
or, and especially is one indispensable
in the room of a guest, who frequently
longs for a!shOrt nap, but refrains
from taking one in the fear of disturb

should not be so fine as to be over

there is no other place for couch, il

easily be moved when necessary.
