ADVERTISEMENTS.
What's in a Name?
A Great Deal Sometimes. as Evil
denced by the Experience Of an
Ellsworth Citizen.

by their works We shall know them"
A well-earned reputation is profita Bile
thing for any man to possess; it gives
people confidence in him and means that
success will follow any undertaking that
bears his name. It's the same with an
article OF any kind; il it proves to be just
as represented the reputation earned re-
fleets creditably on anything bearing the
same name. This is as it should be, for it
would be folly indeed to take chances on
losing the good will of ones friends by
trying to trade on name with something
OF unequal merit. An example of "W hats
i'll a name Is found in the experience of
our townsman, Warren q. Jordan, who is
well known all through the county from
his connection with j. T. Crippen, Piano
and Sewing Machine dealer. Mr. Jordan,
surprised and delighted with the helping
hand extended by Doans Kidney Pills, is
induced to try Doan's Ointment, feeling
confident OF its merit because it bore the
name OF Doan. Read what he says about
it: 81 used Doan's Kidney Pills in the
fall OF 1876 on the strength OF a lady's
recommendation in Mariaville, for a lame
and aching back and other symptoms
that indicated kidney disease, with such
success that was induced to use a pile
ointment by the same name, Doan's. /
had used everything else that l had heard
OF during the three years that | had been
annoyed with itching piles, but | could
not find remedy that would permanent
ly cure. 1t is one of the most annoying
complaints person can have; no rest or
relief from 1t day or night. The prompt
ness with which Doan's Ointment relieved
me was astonishing. 1t stopped it at once
and cured me so quickly that l neglected
to use it as | should, but it cured. II it
were not a first -class remedy it would not
have acted as it did,
Rich and poor alike suffer the tortures
that come with that terrible plague,
Itching Piles; rich and poor alike find in
slant relief and permanent cure in Doan's
Ointment. Your dealer keeps it.
For sale by all dealers, price so cents.

HENRY CLAWS VALEDlCTORY.
His Pathetic Farewell to the Senate
Moved Many to Tears.


Moved Many to Tears.
John F. Coyle writes OF Henry Clay's
farewell to the Senate in the Septem Der
Ladies' Home Journal, regarding it as the
most dramatic event ever witnessed in
the United States Senate. Almost from
the opening words OF the famous vale
dictory the vast assemblage of people
were in tears, and the Great Commoner"
was frequently interrupted by he sobs OF
his auditors.
The scene was indeed impressive as Mr..
Clay pronounced the concluding words OF
his farewell TO public life, 3" says Mr.. Coyle.
He stood for ii moment after i'll rever-
entail attitude, while all about him
strong men, swayed by the magnetic
power OF the great orator, wept i'll silence.
The hushed suspense of intense feeling
and attention pervaded the crowded
assem- blage the famous statesman, with
lowering eyes, resumed his seat. For
several moments the silence was un-
broken; senators sat as If III the shadow
of some impending calamity; men of all
parties seemed equally overcome by the
pathos and majesty OF the great states
mans farewell.
AS Mr.. Clay rose to leave The chamber
after adjournment, which directly fol-
lowed his address, and after he had said
farewell to all the other senators, he en-
countered Mr.. Calhoun. The eyes of the
whole ssemblage were fixed on these two
old friends and old political antagonists.
There was pause in the demonstration
which awaited Mr.. Clay-the moment of
suspended anticipation was almost pain
full. For five years they had been es-
tranged, and the only words which had
passed between them had been those
harshly spoken in debate. But now, as
they met, the old time came over them.
They remembered only the political COM
partnership Of twenty years standing.
The intervening differences which had
chilled their hearts toward each other
were forgotten. The tears sprang to their
eyes. They shook each other cordially
by the hand, interchanged a God bless
YOU, and parted. The released suspense
which awaited this fearful scene found
vent in shouts and cheers, which were
taken up by the crowds outside the Sem
ate chamber, expecting Mr.. Clay's APP
pearance. He was surrounded by the
waiting thousands on his way to his car
riage, and throngs followed him even to
his hotelH

THE ARMOR PLANT.

The naval armor. board will leave
Washington next Saturday for the South
to examine the availability of certain
places in this-section as sites for the pro-
posed armor plant, and it is said that the
first stop will be made a. Birmingham.
to Chattanooga, Knoxville and Elizabeth
ton in the order named. The name of
Roanoke is not mentioned in the pro-
gramme, but it would be but little trou-
BILE for the board either in going or return
ing from BIRMINGHAM to stop in this city,
and no doubt the gentlemen in charge of
Roanoke's interest will spare no effort in
trying to induce it's members to INSPECT
the advantages offered here. 1t is claimed
that the board has no authority to make
any recommendations as to the location
Of the plant, and, therefore, it's mem bers
feel that an inspection of the resources of
all the places desiring visit would not
be time usefullv spent. AS it is eveident,
however, that certain places in this State
will be inspected by the board, it is plain
that its opinion on the subject will have
much weight with the Navy Department,
on whom the choice of n site will in all
probability devolve, Notwithstanding the
act of Congress only requires Secretary
Long to submit description of the lands,
buildings and machinery needed for an
armor plaut.
