THE NATURAL WAY
To Cure Inflammation.

Inflammation is the sustaining element OF
the great majority of our physical ills; sllay
this inflammation, and the pain ceases, the
flesh. muscles and tendons resume their nor
NAL condition and the violence of the attack
is at an end.
1t follows then, that tho first step in sue
cessful assault upon disease is to destroy any
existing inflammation, and with it the pain.
This accomplished, the patient is at ease.
This is a natural mode of procedure, and
kindly Nature has furnished the means to
that end in certain roots, barks and herbs
which, in their due proportion, are constitu-
ent parts of Lightning Hop Drops the great.
est pain panacea ever known to medical
science.
Freely applied to a cut, bruise, burn, scald,
or flesh wound of any nature, Lightning Hot
Drops will absolutely kill the pain prevent
all inflammation and quickly heal the decorated
flesh. As an instance, what is more painful
OF distressing than mashed finger, with the
nail torn 10 )se? la such case, Lightning
Hot Drops gives complete and Immediate

THE DEATH OF THE OLD AND BIRTH
OF THE New YEAR.-It seemed from
the clamor raised that q larger percent
age than usual of our people took part
last night in sepulture of 1886 and in
the advent of 1897. From early in the
night until about l o'clock this morn
ing there was fusilade of explosives
in which everything in the way OF fire
arms, it seemed, was brought into
requisition. Old muskets, shotguns,
pistols and firecrackers from those of
the dimensions of pencil to others APP
proximating in size mans arm were
making themselves heard all over the
city. About fifteen minutes before
midnight the tolling of b9lls was COM
menced, and when the clock in the City
Hall began to strike the hour of twelve
steam whistles shrieked, bells weie
rung furiously, and the noise of explo-
sives became general. 1t was about one
O'Clock when the clamor ceased. Watch
meetings were held in Trinity, M. f
South, Free Methodist and Baptist
churches, and they were largely attend
ed. The services in each were appro-
pirate and interesting.

New YEARS DAY.-This has been
one of the quietest New Years days
ever experienced in Alexandria. The
banks and public offices were closed,
the postoflice kept Sunday hours and
the railroads gave most of their en-
ployes holiday; business was but
little interrupted and but few OF the
stores were closed-and these after
, morning hours. The Alexandrians who
hold government offices all had holiday
and most of them spent the day quietly
at home. The custom of receiving
on New Years Day has about died out
and but few people kept open house.
The weather throughout the day while
mild has been damp and threatening.
