Hon. H. st. George Tucker called on us last
week, as he was en- route to Lexington Harry
shakes hands with blacksmith, as cordially
as he does with a member of Congress-, and
there is no put on about it either. We sincere

means election. He has been a sterling pure
man from boyhood with his rise to political
prominence in this nation, he is the same
genial, kind hearted, obliging man that he was
when he first came to the county to practice
law. We predict that he will succeed Mr..

ty to give him rousing support, both in the

The pleasant effect and perfect safety with
Fwhicr ladies may use the California liquid
laxative Syrup of Figs, under all conditions,
makes it their favorite remedy. To get the
true and genuine article, look for the name OF
the California Fig Syrup Co., printed near the

AS most of the original government
bonds were bought at sixty cents on
the dollar, as all of them have stamped
upon their face, payable, principal
and interest, in coin," as silver dollars
are and always were s'coin," and as
such 'coin' will now buy almost twice
as much as it did when all except the
new bonds were issued, why their re
demption in silver dollars would be re
lpudiation, can not be explained even
upon the most casuistical grounds.
Alex. Gazette.
We live in country of which the principal
Iscourge is stomach-trouble.
It is more widespread than any other dis
ease, and, very nearly, more dangerous
One thing that makes it so dangerous Is
that it is so little understood.
If it were better understood. it would bt
more feared more easily cured, less universal
than it is now.
So. those who wish to be cured, take Shaker
Digestive Cordial, because it goes to the root
of the trouble as no other medicine does. The
pure. harmless curative herbs and plants, OF
which it is composed, are what render it SC
certain and, at the same time, SO gentle
cure.
1t helps and strengthens the stomach, purl
fies and tones up the system.
