THE BARS OF HEALTH

once down, disease finds an easy en-.
trance.
! # there is weak spot in the body, dis
ease-geffts will find It. They will lodge
right in that spot and unless they are
driven out at once, will increase and
multiply and grow into seriousness.
Weakness is prcdisposition to disease.
Whistler the weakness be local or gem
,eral, It Is dangerous. Good healthy
strength all over the body is the best
safeguard against disease. Debility of
any kind is direct invitation to serious
sickness. The reason that DIR. Picrce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures eS per
Cent. Of all cases of consumption If taken
in the early stages Of the disease, is that
It puts the whole body into hearty,
healthy condition. The poisonous tuber-
cular matter is thrown off by the
lungs, and the pure, rich blood cours-
ing through them, quickly stops the
Inflammation, heals the broken menu
branes and makes the lungs perfectly
strong and sound. Consumption Is
marked by wasting away of the bodily
tissues and vice versa. A wasting of the
flesh brings on consumption. Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in
duces the accumulation of sound, hard,
healthy flesh. It increases the appetite
and the capacity of the digestive organs
for the assimilation Of food. It is puri-
fer, tonic and powerful curative REM
edy, all in one bottle. All who will send
their addresses. and twenty-one cents in

i/etk.lLtssNNN OF the struggle
has not yet dawned On the mind
of the average citizen. There
are q few who have from the first
taken q serious view of the mem
AGING situation which was sud
denly thrust upon us. No one
Of intelligence and experience
can take other than a sober view
of it now. The decision IS to be
rendered by the people in No
vember will unquestionably have
a potent If not permanent, in
fuence on our National career.
II this conception of the situa-
ton is correct. then it is clearly
TIE duty of every citizen who
loves his country and cherishes
It's institutions to grid himself
for the defense of its honor and
good name. While we may have
no doubt as to the certainty Of
Republican success in November
and may firmly believe that in
allihigher moral and intellectual
phases Of this great political and
economic contest we have already
practically won the day, it stlll
behooves US to be on our guard
against ali possible surprises
and accidents. 1t must be re.
membered that the free silver
popocratic combination are not
conducting their campaign on
moral and intellectual grounds.
Their appeal is artfully address
ed to prejudice and passion.
Their only hope of success is in
their ability to excite the discon-
tented and unfortunate. In this,
we believe, they have failed. But
this belief affords no justification
for any relaxing OF vigilance or
abating of alacrity on our part.
While thereis no reason for
fear or alarm, there is every rea.
son for caution and alertness.
Hopefulness is not heedlessness;
cheerfulness is not carelessness.
The enemy could desire nothing
better than that we should de-
velop q dangerous confidence in
our own ability, through an I'M
derestimate Of their strength
and resources. Let us, instead,
bring all our vigor, vigilance,
courage and enthusiasm and con-
secrate them to this noble cause.
The Nation deserves our best
service. Let US not endanger by
lmprudence the fruits of courage
and fortitude.
The Republican party is now
the only hope of the Nations

That party demands and deserves

Country Life
In Winter.

With the first frost Of autumn
a marked change takes place in
country life. The chairs are
brought in from the porch. the
hammocks are unswung from the
trees on the lawn and the indoor
life, which is to continue until
next May, begins. In the even
ing the family gather around the
lamp in the sitting-rocm. For a
family which takes no pleasure
in literature the life on the farm
during the winter is lonesome
and irksome. Throughout the
summer work is active, and short
ly after the days labors are end.
ed the farming people take to
their beds. But in winter the
work day is short and there is a
period of comparative rest. This
affords an opportunity for read
ing which city folk seldom find,
and it is due to this that people
in the country are ordinarily fur
better informed upon the leading
questions of the day than their
brethren in town.
But man, and especially woman,
is a social animal. and the isola-
tion of the farm in winter is ex-
ceeding.y irksome. 1t is this
isolation and dullness, as well as
the small profits and hard work
on the farm, which drive into the
cities SO large a proportion of the
most active and intelligent young
men Of the land. The cities are
full of them, many of them sue
ceeding well. but a far greater
number working harder and get.
ting less enjoyment and satisfac.
ton out of life than they did on
the farm. The life of women in
the country is even harder than
that of the men. The difficulty
of getting domestic servants COM
pels the farmers wife to take to
the kitchen, and her toll is re.
lieved by few social enjoyments,
and the discomfort of the farm.
er's daughters is even greater
than that of their mother, and so
there is clamor among them to
abandon the farm and move into
the county town or into the near
est city. Too often after the
irrevocable step has been taken
bitter regret comes.
But with the advent of good
roads, and the numberless inven-
tons which will bring town and
country into closer communica.
ton, the time is not far distant,
when the country will have many
more advantages over the town
than it already has, aud when
country life will be counted the
more desirable. When a marked
improvement is made in roads,
and electricity is applied to horse
less caEiages, country residents
will enjoy all of its privileges,
and most of the advantages of
city as well.

Republican Nominee For
Judge Of The Supreme
Court.

~
Kanawha feels herself highly
hunored by the action Of the
Parkersburg convention in nomi-
mating Hon. Fl. O. McWhorter
for Judge of the Supreme Court
of Appeals. 81
1t is not only Kanawha comfy
but the Third Congressional dis.
trict, and. in fact, the entire State
of.West Virginia, that feels her
self honored. Capt. McWhorter's
Republicanism. integrity, public
services and personal character
are all of the highest order, and
when elected to the position for
which he is a candidate, he will
fill it with credit and discharge
its duties in a manner that will
show. in the most emphatic way
possible the wisdom Of the, CON
vention in choosing him for the.
place.
Capt. McWhorter has long
been prominently connected with
the public affairs of the State of
which he has been aresident
since 1871 he served in the
Union Army in the Ninth West
Virginia Infantry-first as pri.
vate. afterwards as lieutenant,
then as captain. He was severe.
ly wounded, and on this account,
resigned in 1863, but remained in
the provost marshal's department
until the close of the war.
In early life he was Deputy
Clerk in the Roane County Court,
and at the close of the war be
located in Charleston and engage
ed in the practice ofslaw. In
1863 10 he was Prosecuting At.s
torney for Kanawha county He
served as amember of the House
of Delegates from 1865 to 1861
and was at one time speaker Of
that body. He was again elect.
ed a member Of the House nj
1se4a 1885. In each instance
he served to the entire satisfac.s
ton of his constituents. In the
campaign of 1888 he was nomin.s
ated FOR Judge of the Supreme
Court of Appeals. although he
did not aspire for the honor, and.
later was appointed by President
Harrison, as Postmaster at
Charleston, which position he
held until removed by President
Cleveland, in favor of Mrs.
Kenna.
No one can boast of a better
record and no one could have
been placed upon the ticket who
would make a stronger candidate.

senator exercises in this state would,
the Popocrats believe, be saved to them
