THE BEST SPRING MEDIClIaE. E.

is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR-don't forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish during the Winter, just like all nature, and the system becomes choked up by the accumulated waste, which brings on Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma- tism. You want to wake up your Liver now, but be sure you take SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR to do it. It also regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at work, when your system will be free from poison and the whole body invigorated.
 You get THE BEST BLOOD when your system Is in Al condition, and that will only be when the Liver is kept active. Try Liver Remedy once and note the difference. But take only SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR-it is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR which makes the difference. Take it in powder or in liquid already prepared, or make a tea of the powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU- LATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every package. Look for it.

Locating Staunton.

Some Sundays ago Capt. E. l.. Edmond
son, the proprietor Of the famous Seawrisht
water, was in Boston in its interest. He
went to noted Presby terrain church there
and being stranger was taken in charge
by one Of the officers Of the church who in
troduced him to the pastor. The pastor
asked him where he was from. Capt. E,
always ready to say good word for Staun-
ton, said he was from Staunton the Queen
city Of the Shenandoah Valley; 1900 feet
above the level Of the sea; average temper
allure during the Year -. The pastor did
not seem to be affected by this eloquence,
but appeared to be rejecting. In a mo-
ment he frightened up and said, "Staunton!
Why that is where Miss Baldwin's school
is. isn't it % The Captain replied that it
was, and the pastor who only knew Staun-
ton by Miss Bald win s school, frightened
up a. it he had met an old acquaintance.

Christmas at the StesIe's Tavern Graded
School.

A correspondent of the VINDICAToR
writing from Steele's Tavern on Christmas
eve, sends us the following which, though
a little belated, is very interesting still:
The Graded School at this place gave a
Christmas Cantata yesterday afternoon,
which was very creditable to the Principal,
Mrs. W. L. Moffett, and to the pupils. The
weather was perfect, and crowd of people
which packed the public school building to
its utmost capacity was in attendance.
Visitors were present from Lexington,
Buffalo Mills, Fairfield, Brownsburg, and
other places, and all were delighted with
the entertainment. 1t was a striking ex-
hibition of capacity and of pains taking
labor on the part of the Principal, and Of
earnest study and readiness to learn, on the
part OF her pupils.
When all did so well, it may seem invid-
ious to make special mention Of any; but
all agree that Clemmer HUMPHREYS played
the part Of Santa Claus very successfully;
that Miss Katie Mckay recited well Tho
Three Kings; that Miss Mamie Smith
sang sweetly. There's Many FLASH"
that Miss Gertrude Bagly SAID very well
Mrs. Santa Claus, whhife Miss Sidney
Heller represented her in tableau; that
Mary and Maggie, the year old twins OF
MI. w. S. HUMPHREYS, excelled in the reci-
tation of "Christmas Question" Other
parts were as good as these The singing
of the pupils, which was feature OF the
occasion, was good. Every little fellow
took part. The papers of the pupils OF the
High School department, on recent sur
prise examination, were on exhibition.
They were prepared with remarkable neat
ness, and showed thoroughness of instruc-
tion and diligence in study.
This school is a success-a great bless
ing to this community. The best use that
can be made of the public schools in the
country, by those who wish to give their
children a thorough education, is to raise
money by private subscriptlon,t to continue
them nine months. and secure competent
teachers. Thus they can at less cost, do
better for their own children than by en-
ploying teachers in their families, and at
the same time, greatly benefit all the child
rem of their neighborhood, aiding the pub
| lie schools in the accomplishment OF their
purpose.
Miss Bessie Moore, the popular assistant
teacher, left last evening for her home near
Lexington, to spend the holidays.
Messrs. Lawrence Giles of Raphine and
Jas, A. and Warren Mcclure, OF the Spots
wood neighborhood, are enjoying Christ
mas at home.
