G. B. Downs, of the freight depart

suffer from hunger with food within
reach, which he could eat, but not
digest. He lives at 80 Daniel Street,

When was IA years old I began to
be troubled with indigestion, which

better, until I found it hard to keep

Puritana and was not only relieved by
it from the pain, but in short time
completely cured Of my indigestion.

them to hold their mouths cloaed and
firm, and thereby they would in time
chisel away the thick lips and loose
facial muscles. Looking through the
pages Of Peterson's Magazine, in which
Margherita Arlina Hamm describes the
Tuskegee Normal and Industrial insti-

of the teachers there that they at least
have cultivated their mouths. They rep
resent the product Of the best culture
among the African race in America.
The result is distinctly pleasing. These
men have clear, bright eyes good, strong
chins and are good TO look upon. The
bronze and ebony features have taken on
comeliness and regularity that can
only come from intellectual develop
ment. The chins show that they can
measure their powers against other men

The bicycling Year.

The editor Of Harper's Magazine calls
1895 the great bicycling year. He does
not think that treading the wheel is a
graceful performance for either men or
women, but he is sure all the same that
wheeling for both sexes has come to
stay. Well, whether bicycling looks
graceful depends on whether one is ac-
customed to seeing it. 1t looks we'll
enough after people are used to it. But
the editcr protests powerfully against
women ON the wheel defoPming their
waists and their feet by tight lacing and
toothpick shoes. The aesthetic editor
speaks right out in meeting and says
'corsets" plainly. He says tho man
who admires tight lacing ought to be
put into ecrsets himself. The editor
grows fairly eloquent in the following
women will never be really emanci-
pated by the bicycle or the ballot until
they free themselves from the two curses
that enfeehle them and incapacitate
them for the enjoyment Of ife-the
tight corset and the misshapen shoe. -
As 10 the war between skirts and
hlcomers he remarks:
Women are more graceful in bicycling than
men because they SIT more erect and have q
regard for appearance, and do not hump the
back and initiate the cunning attitude Of the
monkey ON the ring pony. 1t Is doubtful
whether the skirt, which gives the rider the
appearance Of ''wallowing' along, IL any addi-
ton 70 the nttractiveness Of the wheel. Wom-

THE SELF NOMINATED .coyNctJ.
MEN AND THEIR REPUBLICAN
ALTTES

The Staunton Times (RepubIican) which
is advocating the election of the Republi
can and Independent councilmen now run.
ming against the Democratic nominated
ticket, republishes a card published in the
VINDIcAToR in April, 1883. That card is
taken from the advertising columns of the
VINDICAToR and was marked as an adj
vertisement. 1t was a free fight, the Dem
ocratic City Committee having refused tt
order a primary, and the VINDICATOR
took no part in it whatever. and SAID not
one word in favor of any candidate.
When Democratic primary was first
mentioned this year. Yost's Weekly (Repub
lican) announced promptly that all the old
counciImen would disregard it and would
run standing together on their record. Z
We could hardly believe it, but time has
proved that the Republican Weekly knew
and understood them better than we did.
They haze turned their backs ON the Dem
ocratic primary, as their Republican Or
gan said they would; they hare refused to
submit their claims to the great body of
white tax payers of the city, unless that
body will vote in concert with the black
non-tax payers, and we shall use every
honest effort in giving them just such an
overwhelming defeat as they deserve and as
they will most surely get. Their delusion
that they are the only men in Staunton fit
ted for councilmen will be dispelled by their
overwhelming defeat by ticket which con-
tains twelve Democrats better fitted than
ana tacelve men their self nominated
ticket can shOW. -...tt..

The Rings Old andNew.

Editor of iStGu1at0n Ta1ld5cGt0r: ~,
An old timer myself, was very much in
terested in the editorial in last VINDICATOR in
which reference was made to the points of
likeness between the present contest in Staun-
ton of the democratic party and the lndepen-
t-RepubIican-Combi and the fight
twenty years ago when the same old democrat
&c party routed the Independent Republican
ring then running the city 1t was red hot
fight and a great victory for the democrats
and the people. The contest now seems to be
like the old fight in all respects, and the result
will no doubt be the same. 1t will, at least,
be known whether Staunton is democratic
or republican city. The VINDICATOR is liber-
al in naming the present council, or that part
of it who have nominated themselves for re.
election, as being six democrats and three re-
publicans. 1t is thought that three of these
so-called democrats voted for Y ost over Tuck
er; of course on ''strictlY business princi-
pies" After July 1st it is hoped they will be
left to attend strictly to their own business.
