Health Destroying Vapors,

Water impregnated with the seeds
of malaria, produce incalculable
misery throughout vast portions Of
the North and South American con-
tinents. The most effective medici-
nal defence against these producers
of physical mischief is Hostetter's S
Stomach Bitters. Wherever the
great endemics, chills and fever, bill
ious remittent, dumb ague and ague
cake are prevalent, the bitters is
alike the chosen preventive and
remedy. In Mexico, Guatemala, on
the Isthmus of Panama, and in
South America, no less than in the
United States, it has demonstrated
its superlative efficacy, and has re-
ceived the commendation of the
medical profession. 1t remedies
rheumatic, kidney and stomachic
ailments, nervousness and debility,
and counteracts a tendency to pre-
mature decay and the troubles at
tendant upon advancing years. Ap.
petite and the ability to sleep are
both aided by it. Use it with per
sistence, as it well deserves to be
used, and the trial will avail you
much.

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills. which vanish before proper ef-
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 conoi-
tion 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 debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bens-
Acial effects, to note when you pur-
chase. that YOU have the genuine arti-
ele. 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, laxatlVes OF
other remedies are then not needed II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skllltul
physicians. but if in need of a laxative
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
FIGS stands highest nd is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

The TEXARKANIAN
CONSCIENCE sMITTEN.

Last December, Mr.. John Sim
mons, who is acting secretary for
the W. c. T. U. at this place, and
who presides over the reading
rooms had his overcoat stolen from
him out of the cloak room. He put
his loss down as irretrlveable
and the overcoat soon faded from
his memory. On Friday the Express
Company delivered a bundle to the
secretary directed plainly to Mr.
John Simmons, care of W. G. 7. U.
Texarkana, Texas. The charges
were paid and the secretary was
anxious to see what the package
contained, and on opening it found
his lost overcoat, with the following
note pinned to it;
Dear John:-"When / left for st
Louis last winter, | thought
might get cold, so borrowed youl
overcoat and / now return it,
am very much obliged to you for the
loan"
There was no name signed to the
note, and Mr.. Simmons has not the
remotest idea who sent his coat tC
him. We think the fellow must
have heard a sermon akin to the
one preached here on Restitution
by Rev. Abe Mulkey, and becoming
conscience stricken returned it.

Dear little Mamie Marsh departed
this life, July 18th, 1896, aged years,
s months and days. The death of
this fondly cherished child was sad
one, but it came not unexpected.
For three days she fingered and suf-
fered, and part of that time her suf
ferings were intense, but she was never
heard to murmur or complain. All
was done that could be to relieve her,
but of no avail. A short while before
she died she asked her mother if
she would suffer in heaven, and
being told she would not, she
passed away and joined the an
gel band. We cannot but wish
the loved one back and sigh for the
touch of vanished hand and the
sound of voice that is still, as she
was the highest type OF child and
had heart full of sympathy for
everyone. Her funeral was conducted
by our pastor, Rev. &. <. B. Smith.
Her casket was covered with flowers
made in beautiful designs by loving
friends, showing the high esteem in
which she was held. Dear Mamie
thou has left us, and may we be ready
too as you were when the summon
comes. E. u. MEARS.

Query.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

Will the committee appointed to
present the petitions to the railroad
company and use their influence to
get lower freight rates on potatoes
explain why it was they failed OF
New England points! It's circulated
in this part of the county that the
committee was asked whether they
wanted lower rates to these points
and they said no. A failure tc
secure lower rates at said points
not only deprived shippers what
they are justly entitled to, but
is likely to cause heavier ship
ments to New York and other points
where the deduction has been made
and thereby make glutted markets
Whereas had there been like re-
duction to the points in question the
potatoes would be more equally dis.
tributed.
can't think that this report is
correct, as no man or set of men pos
sessing the intelligence that these
men have, would have made such a
blunder, hence for the benefit of the
gentlemen who composed this com
mittee and the satisfaction of the
public, make this inquiry.

Confederate Memorial Entertainment

Confederate Memorial Entertainment
To the ladies of Accomac and North
ampton:
The members of Harmanson-Wes
Camp Confederate veterans have de-
cided to hold their annual reunion
at Parksley, early in October next.
In conjunction with the reunion they
will have memorial entertainment,
as was done at the reunion at Cape
Charles, for the purpose of increas-
ing the fund to be used in the cree
tion of monument to the memory
of the soldiers of the Eastern Shore
who fell in the Lost Cause" One Of
the features will be table for the
sale of such fancy articles as may be
made and donated by the ladies. 1t
is this feature to which the executive
committee, appointed by the camp,
desires now to call attention. at our
last reunion this table was the source
OF considerable revenue, and it is
hoped that, at the next, it will prove
one of the most attractive, as we'll
as one of the most remunerative fea-
lures. The committee feels that no
appeal to the ladies, for contributions
to this table, is necessary. The
promptness with which they have
ever responded, and the zeal always
exhibited by them in everything
tending to guard the memory of their
brave dead, give ample assurance
that the fancy table will be in good
hands, and that feature will again
be q success. No effort will be spared
to have the next reunion on larger
scale and more attractive than even
the last one was.

Political Speaking.

Political speakers filled the time
from p. m, until sunset at Accomac
G. H, last Monday, court day, and
many speeches were made not in the
program.
Hon. N. B. Wescott, was only ex-
pected to address the people on the
occasion, but early in the day the
announcement was made that Mr..
Tyler the republican candidate for
Congress, chaperoned by Hon. j.
Hampton Hoge, (who started to
China some years ago as democrat,
got mad because recalled by Cleve-
land after reaching California, and re-
turned republican, would be on
hand
Hoge and the silent congressional
candidate showed up on time and an
effort was made to arrange joint
debate between Hoge and Wescott,
which failed to materialize. Repub
ilcans wanted everything their own
way, and while the democrats were
expecting an answer, proceeded with
their speaker to the court-green and
occupied the platform, where Hoge
was introduced by DR.. Scarburgh and
spoke for an hour and quarter to a
small gathering of republicans and
curious democrats. At the same time
Hon. N. B. Wescott occupied the
courthouse and made an able speech
to full house, enthusiastically ap-
plauded from beginning to end.
Their speeches were followed by
addresses of Rev. E. ]. Winder, and
Mr.. VIM. T. Bundick Prohibition
candidate for Congress and Elector
respectively for the First District.
The political exercises of the day
closed with harangue from Mr..
Geo. r. Bunting, of Atlantic.
