Blood Poison.

Contagious Blood Poison has been APP

It is the one disease that physicians can

remedies only bottle up the poison in

more virulent form, resulting in total

Gage, and those who have not that
honor are familiar through others
with his splendid business career in
Chicago, where he has resided for
more than forty years, From a
business standpoint there is not a
flaw in the record of Mr.. Gage from
a political standpoint, there is one
flaw: He voted for Cleveland when
he was elected President the first
time. The best proof that Mr. Gage
regretted his action in that case is
found in the fact that he did not
vote for Cleveland the second and
third time that he was a candidate
and that he was especially active in
the support of Mckinley and Hol-
bart and honest money, during the
late campaign. His administration
of the Treasury department is likely
to be very strong in business, and
somewhat Indifferent in partisan
politics. Under existing circum-
stances, this may be the best possi-
bic sort of an administration of that
important branch of the Govern
ment, not only for the country but
for the Republican party.

How Our Counties Were Named.

The Vantage Recorder asks from
whence Pike county derives her
name. She was named for General
Zebulon Montgomery Pike, born
1879 died 1918. AS an incentive to
those curious to know the derivation
of the names of the several counties
in this state, twenty eight were
named for men, thirteen for coun-
ties and shires in England, fiftee n
are named for creeks and rivers, one
for a lake, one for mountain, one
for coal, one for wood, one after the
Greek, one is Welsh, one Swiss, one
French, one Hebrew, one from its
geographical location and one for an
animal.
