ADMIRE OUR ENTERPRISE.
Virginia Tobacco Men Look on the Old
North State With Envy.

One of the largest tobacco firms in
Virginia, writing to Hon. $. L. Patter-
son, Commissioner Of Agriculture,
thanking him for a copy of the News
and Observer Tobacco Edition, pays a
high compliment to the old North State
and her people, as displayed in the
News and Observers special editions.
They say, among other things: II adj
mire your enterprising people greatly,
and wish from my heart we could en-
thuse little of the spirit of yourpeople
into our people, who, / am sorry to say,
sadly need rejuyenating, or a better
term still, revivifying. = The
tendency of our rich capitalists to
neglect small things and only invest in
bio enterprises abroad to the neg
lect of home enterprises, has so far im-
paired our home industries which the
masses are dependent upon, that you
people, who are wide-awaIe and ready
to spend your money and energy IN
your homes rather than abroad, have
recently 50 far outstripped us as TO
make the loss beyond redemption.

A SUBJECT OF SINCERE CONGRAT-
ULATION

Is the non-possession of an actively
sensitive nervous system. There are
hosts of people who, although free
from any positive nervous disease, are
set, so to sepak, upon "tenter hooks"
by slight noises or an unexpected oc-
currence of the smallest moment.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is of mex
pressible benefit to the nervous. Taken
before bedtime it insures tranquil,
health-yielding slumber, and used be-
tween meals it restores that sound di-
gestion usually denied to nervous in
va1ids. 1t is also eminently beneficial
to sufferers from rheumatism, mala-
ria, debility, constipation and kidney
troubles. Persons falling off in the
matter of appetite, flesh and the ability
to sleep soundly should resort at once
to this superb nervine, Alternative and
tonic. For nearly half a century it has
been q leading medicine, and has re-
ceived the highest tributes from the
medical profession. Use it and be
convinced.

In combination, proportion and
process Hoods Sarsaparilla is pcculiar
to itself, and unequalled in true merit.
No other medicine ever possessed so
much curative power, or reached such
enormous sales, or made such Won
derful cures, as Hoods Sarsaparilla.
1t is undoubtedly the best medicine
ever made to purify, vitalize and en-
rich the blood.
That is the secret of its success.
