HOW THE DIPPER SAVED THE
FARM.

Father was sick and the mortgage on
the farm was coming due, saw in the
Christian Advocate where Miss A. M.
Fritz of Station A., st. Louis, Mo-,
would send sample combination DIP
per for Is two cent stamps, and I order
ed one. I saw the dipper could be
used as fruit jar filler; plain dipper ;
fine strainer; funnel; strainer
funnel sick room warming pan and
pint measure. These eight different
uses make the dipper such necessary
article that went to work with it and
it sells at very near every house. And
in four months I paid off the mortgage
think can clear as much as 5000 a
month. If you need work you can do
we'll by giving this trial. Miss A. N.

There are fads in medicine as in ev-

quently sells for a short time simply
because it is new. But in medicine, as
in nothing else, the people demand and
will be satisfied only with positive, alb
solute merit. The fact that Hoods
Sarsaparilla has stood it's ground a.
gainst all competition, and its sales
have never wavered but have remained
steadily at the top, demonstrates, be-
yond any doubt, the intrinsic virtues
of this medicine. The W things
have come and gone but Hoods Sarsa-
parilla rests upon the solid foundation
of absolute merit and its power to cure
and its sales continue to be the largest
in the world.

it is useful that I showed it to my

spoon is a household necessity. 1t can
not slip into the dish or cooking vessel
being held in the place by a hook on

housekeepers have needed ever since
spoons were first invented. Anyone
can get q sample spoon by sending ten

Too Much Profanity.

Too Much Profanity.
Mr.. Chas. A. Cook OF Warrenton
spoke to the colored people here Thurs
day of last week, and by some who
heard it, it was regarded as very in
decent speech.
He referred to the Democratic party
in tones and terms of contempt, and
said many things which appealed to
the race prejudice. The most of the
speech was sandwiched with profanity
and vulgarity, which was the worst
feature about.
1t is sad spectacle for white man
of intelligence to go around amongst
voters whom he would call ignorant,
proposing to enlighten them and pre-
tending to be working for their good,
and resorting to profanity and vulgari-
ty to do it. The self-respecting colored
men who heard it ought to have asked
the speaker to confne his remarks to
decent language.
All things considered and looking at
things from their point of view, the
col0red people can be Republicans with
some consistency but they ought to
be such from the high plane of princl-
pie, and they are entitled to be instruct
ed by their pretending white friends,
when instructed at all, from the same
plane.
Such speeches as Mr.. Cook
made to the colored people here
last week have no tendency to lift
them up; but on the othe I
hand the appeal to prejudice and their
lower nature has tendency to degrade
them, and they ought to know it.
George III. White, the well known
colored man who is a candidate for
Congress from this District, spoke to
his people here some time ago, and du-
ring his entire speech he did not resort
to word of profanity nor to vulgar
expression.
Mr.. Cook might profit by Mr..
Whites example.
