WASHINGTON, May 14.-In all the
departments at Washington Paines
celery compound has become the office
expression for an ideal invigorator
when one is run down" by Overwork,
confining duties, or any of the many
causes that result in i'll health.
Here is what a prominent official in
the Department Of the Interior says Of
Paine's celery compound:
Department of the Interior,
General Land Office.
II affords me much pleasure to state
that Paine's celery compound has been
to me an excellent Spring remedy, and
particularly beneficial to the nervous
system and digestive organs l cor
daily commend its use.
NJ. F. DONOGHUE,
Chief Of Contest Division.
Among the thousands of voluntary
letters Of acknowledgement for benefit
derived from Paine's celery compound,
there have already been published in
the Washington papers testimonials
from men representing ever department
of the national gcvernment-not only
from many Of the best-knOwn congress
men, but from hosts of Woodworking
clerks unknown outside of their imme-
date circle OF friends. Some Of those
who have voluntarily indorsed Paine.
celery cor--~ 1;,ad are:
Congrt t.sman Powers Of Vermont.
Congres sE.an Meredith of Virginia.
Congressman Eel of Colorado.
Congressman Neill Of Arkansas.
Congressman WILDER, of New York.
Congressman Grout Of Vermont.
Congressman Otey of Virginia.

Paine's celery compound builds up
the run down" health in a sure, unin-
terrupted, steadfast fashion from which
there can be no relapse. 1t wipes out
unhealthy humOrs from the blood,
opens up the skin and makes it do its
full share in purifying the blood. This
cleansing the blood through and
through is one of the unfailing accom-
plishments of Paine's celery compound.
From a lifelong contact with the
many forms of nervous debility and
impure blood, Prof Edward E. Phelps,
NJ. d. LII. D., of the Dartmouth medical
school. was led to the discovery of
Paine's celery compound as the crown
ing achievement of an extraordinarily
active and successful professional life
No acceptable substitute for Paine's
celery compound exists. Each year fur
ther accumulates evidence of the un-
equaled capacity of this greatest Of al
known remedies for restoring health
and vigOr.
Now that Spring has come, nerves, bloot
and vital organs cannot remain clogget
! by poisonous humOrs nor starved by
overwork and lack of sleep withou
great risk. Paine's celery compound il
the most intelligent, wisest means any
one can employ for driving out diseasl
and restoring a healthy tone to the en-
! tire system.

WARM SPRINGS VALLEY.

WARN SPRINGS. BATH COUNTY,
VA, october 9O.-(SpeciaL)-Mrs. Caoeii'
of Richmond. and her daughter, are
visiting friends in this valley.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lanier Dunn are In Phila-
delphia for some weeks. They viii spend
the winter at their home here.
The Warm Springs Hotel is still open,
and has several visitors. This Is very
unusual. The season usually closes not
later than October 1st. But the Virginia
Hot Springs Company, since the erection
of it's Hot Springs Hotel, has made the
Hot Springs an all-the-year resort, and
this has had the effect OF prolonging the
season at other points. There are ABOUT
three hundred guests at the Hot ihe
season Is just beginning there, and until
the Christmas holidays the resort Will
have a goodly number of guests. 1t is
mistake to suppose that the Hot Springs
is strictly a ''rich-man's" resort. The
owners Of the Springs give very moderate
rates at one OF their hotels, and there
are a number of smaller hotels where
comfortable accommodations are given.
Since the opening OK the hunting season
many pheasants and wild turkeys have
been killed and marketed here, but .he,e
have been very few deer killed. This Is
dua somewhat to the very dry weather.
II being difficult for the dogs TO follow
deer over dry ground The prohibitory
law has had a good erect In INCREASING
the number of partridges.
The last Legislature OF West virginia
put a duietus on killing any kind OF game
for some years. 1t is reported that during
the drouth the wild turkeys over the me
have been doing serious INJURY 10 ihe

The change OF administration mas gwen
us q change of postmasters at this point.
and during the period OF tutorage icr
our new man we are having some rare
experiences. Special-delivery letters nave
been treated as letters ito be speciaiy
delivered by the postmaster In person,
and 90 they have been held from six 10
thirty hours, until the new postmaster
happened to go to the neighbornooo OIL
the party addressed.
A new county paper. the Bath ENTER
prise, has bought out the Bath news.
Mr. J. s. Read, our late editor, Is now :
private tutor in the family OF Mr.. l1anier
Dunn.
The approaching election has not caused
any excitement in our county. The can
didates make occasional visits, and have
tried TO stir the voters to q sense OK
their duty" But. so far as we can DIS
cover, the political interest disappears as
the candidates disappear cyciono
