Clarke's friends who had been keep
ing tally declared their man had been
counted out and for time 1t looked as
If there was going to be brawl. They
wanted new ballot for all three can
didates, as a contest between Clarke
and Demuth meant Clarke's certain
defeat, for it was Burke's desire to have
German on the ticket with him and
consequently his friends would go in
a body for Demuth. The chair how
ever declared Burke nominated ana
ruled that another ballot should BE-
taken to decide between Clarke and
Demuth.
The voting had scarcely begun when
Clarke withdrew his name, seeing that
1t would be useless to combat both the
Demuth and Burke strength.

success III wardIng of sickness which. if
a'owed to progress, would have under
'H'lied The whole system and given dis
ease strong foo;hold to cause much suf-

cases which were thought To be ncurable,
ana after fair trial has effected wonder
iui cures, bringing health. strength and
NY 10 the afflicted. Another important
pont about Hoods Sarsaparilla is that its

The African Emigrant's Return.

The following letter from one of the
emigrants who left here with the first
instalment. bound for Africa, should
be full OF interest to any other negroes
who are contemplating journey to
that far off and comparatively
unknown country. Their white friends
here offered these negroes every reas-
enable inducement in their power to
PERSUADE them To reconsider their de-
termination to leave for Africa. But
they had been led to believe they would
have no Inconvenience in making the
trip and that they would find it easy
sailing after they arrived. These ne
groes sacrificed everything they had
in order to accompany congenial
crowd, and this letter is fulfilment
Of the prophecies made bv their white
friends at the time of their departure.
1t ought to be IA valuable lesson to
others, and no doubt those now con
tempating the trip will think long and
sincerely and intelligently before they
sell their property and spend their
earnings and savings of years OF hard
labor in an untried experiment to bet
ter their condition.

w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
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 cond-
ton 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. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, 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, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
