A special committee of the Womens'
Christian Temperance Union. of this
city, waited upon the County Commits
sioners few days ago in reference to
the appointments of Board of Charities
and Corrections, who have in charge
the management of Montevue Hospital.
The object of this committee was to ap.
peal to the board to appoint only
worthy and capable persons, who shall
be mindful of the great responsibility
that rests upon them and to avoid any
thing savoring of partizanship and re-
ward for political favors to the exclu-
sion, of perfect fitness for the duties of
the office They also asked that a COM
petent superintendent and assistants be
appointed to look after the inmates of
that institution, who will keep it up to
the high standard it has so long enjoy
ed. The Commissioners were deeply
impressed with the earnestness and
business of the appeal and will no doubt
be guided in their selections of officials
10y the suggestions of the committee.

Tree Planting.

In many European countries great
interest has been taken in planting
trees along the highways; miles upon
miles of shade, fruit and ornamental
trees can be seen abroad; these trees
are planted by the county or State
authorities and many of the cities
make liberal appropriations for trees
along the roads leading into the prin-
cipal streets. We have an arbor day
in our State aud an effort has been
made in this county to have the school
children plant trees about their play
grounds and along the public roads.
This matter should be encouraged, our
own people should give more attention
to tree planting. Every home should
take this matter in hand and try and
induce the children to plant out trees.

There is no joy in this world equal
to the happiness of motherhood. A
wOman's health is her dearest possess
sion. Good looks, good times, happi-
ness, love and its continuance, depend
on her health. Almost all of the sick
ness of women is traceable directly or
indirectly to some arrangement of the
organs distinctly feminine. Troubles
of this kind are often neglected because
very natural and proper modesty
keeps women away from physicians,
whose insistance upon examination and
local treatment is generally as useless
as it is common. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will do more for them
than SO doctors in a 100. 1t will do
more than the hundredth doctor I'M
less he prescribes it. 1t is prescrip-
ton of DR.. r. V.Pierce, who for 80
years has been chief consulting physi-
clan of the Worlds Dispensary and

Still Discussing the Court House
Changes.

Since the appointments have been
made at the Court House and the open
denunciation of Register of Wills Say
lor by Judge Motter, things have by
no means quieted down. Considerable
surprise was manifested by Republic
cans that a judge should so speak to
one of the officers of the court, simply
because he had seen proper to appoint
one of his friends to office, who may
not have been as good friend to Mr..
Motter. Then the friends of Mr..
Woodward, who Was promised good
place, were open in their Remuneration
of his treatment; likewise in the case
of still another young man who had
given up his business to take position
promised him. The Democrats now
begin to find out they were sadly left
in voting for Mr. Motter. Every APP
pointment at the Court House has been
made by him, and to The surprise of all
classes good Democratic officials were
turned out to make room for Republi-
cans. 1t was supposed that our Chief
Judge would in justice To all claim
some of these places; we can see no rea-
son why Judge Motter should have
been given all the positions. The case
of Capt. Beckley is IA very hard one
and his many friends all over the
county greatly sympathize with him
in the loss of place he made so at
tractive by his efficiency and courtesy
to all doing business at the Court
House.
