The Way to Check IL.
(Staunton News)

The Banister Negro Baptist Associa-
ton, i'm annual session at Houston, Hail
fax county, Va, has unanimously passed
a series of resolutions emphatically con-
demning the crime of outragng white
W omen in the South. and calling upon
the negroes TO cooperate with the whites
in stamping out the crime and bringing
TO justice any and all who commit the
offence.
This is a praiseworthy course on the
part of these colored Baptists, and II
should be followed by all cOlored religious
organizations in the South. The negroes
owe it to their own good name TO do all
in their power 10 put a stop TO this crime-
BY cooperating with the whites, much
may be done to stop it.

The Philadelphia Record thinks that
Mr.. Dingley's desire to have the new
tariff law known by the name Of the
Dinglcy act is likely to be gratifed. "But,
adds the Record, whether known as
the Trusts tariff, the Smuggers' tariff,
or the Dingley act, the measure is des-
tined to go down to history as the most
comprehensive scheme Of eXtortion and
spoliation that was ever clothed with
the form of a statute" There is no doubt
about that.

CREAM RAISING IN A WELL

It is established that no system without the use of separation or ice has yet been discovered by which perfect recovery of the cream contents of milk can be secur- ed, but where the herd is too small to justify the expense of a separator or ice is not available good method is to fit up a we'll creamery. A we'll four feet in diameter will care for the milk of10 COWS, but if it were six feet 1t would be better
 Fit out 8 sufficient number of common shotgun cans to hold the milk of thIe milkings, with loose-f1tting deep-rim covers, and stout balls so arranged as to hold the covers firmly in place when sus- pended. Provide pulley and one-hali inch rope of sufficient length to let each can when filled with milk into the water, until 1t floats.
 It should remain undistur bed, except by the addition of the next milking, for A hours, when 1t can be raised and skim med
 By this method an effective creaming is secured; the milk is safe from all con- taimination of flies, dust and odors. Further, the we'll affords perfect place for the ripening and care of cream for the churn, as well as for the proper storage
 If this we'll creamery system be studied and faithfully carried out, it will not only save vast amount of labor, but greatly improved the quality and increase. the quantity of the butter made. Its work is constant and uniform, whatever the weather may change to be, nor does il require daily scrubbing and scalding.

 Stafford sends large delegations to camp-meetlng. Nearly five hundred rail- road tickets have already been sold.
 The commissioners on the Union flow age case of the Hamilton Woolen compa- ny have awarded damages as follows : To Major c. Smith, $188 37 Preston Smith, $118.33; Freeman Lilly, $133. 33. The law allows each of these parties fifty per cent. more than the commissioners award. M. c. Smith claimed $1 ,5OO dam ages, Preston Smith $1,OOO, Freeman Lilly $15O. Of the amounts allowed but little will be left after the expenses are paid. .- The heavy rains of last week raised the streams higher than they have been for years before at the same season of the year. Friday night there was some anxi- ety among those having charge of some of the dams in town. Some low meadows were overfowed and considerable hay washed away and damaged.
 c. L. Westcott, at Cummings' store in this village, has pet snake, large black fellow, over six feet long. He is kept shut up in box, from which his owner takes him occasionally in his hands. He often bites those who are too famil- jar, but his bites are not very severe. When furnished with playmates in the form of smaller snakes, frogs, mice, etc., he invariably shows his affection by swal- lowing them alive. His snakeship was captured some three weeks ago by Walter Carpenter of West Stafford, who, while picking berries, disturbed the serpents slumbers beneath the bushes. The snake first sprang at the face of MT. Carpenter and then ran away. MT. 0. pursued, and with the help of his dog treed, and then captured him in his hands.

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a con- munity of simple, honest, God-fearing men and women, have prepared the Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years, and it is always the same, simple, honest, curative medicine that has helped to make the Shakers the healthy, long-lived peo- pie that they are. The Shakers never have indigestion. This is partly owing to their simple mode of life, partly to the wonderful properties of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indigestion is caused by the stomach glands not supplying enough di- gestive juice. Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies what's wanting. Shaker Digest i've Cordial invigorates the stomach and all it's glands, so that after awhile they don't need help. As evidence of the h0r- eSty of Shaker Digestive Cordial the formula is printedeon every bottle. Sold by druggists, price 10 cents to $1.O0 per bottle

Annie A. Preston, in the Sunday Republican.) THE BOY AND THE BROOK.

DEDICATED TO CHARLES TAYLOR PRESTON ON HIS BIRTHDAY, AUG. 7TH. There's nothing, nothing like the brook
 To hold the boyish heart, To him 'tis like promise book Of life's great treasure mart It ripples, ripples on It's way.
 Where goes ?" asks the boy, As, idling some bright summer day,
 It gives his thoughts employ. ''Tis flowing, flowing to tho sea, Wavelets will pillows make !" The boys heart swells with things to be, The mans heart is awake. It's murmur, murmur Is & song Beguiling to the boy: "Why, I must to the world belong" A winsome thought, but coy. It spreads and spreads in meadows green, Its face mirror fair; Here an inverted world is seen,
 The boy finds it 8 snare. These depths on depths confound his soul.
 "Away!" is now his cry, '"The ripples go to find goal,
 A goal too must have l." And still and still the brook goes on,
 The boy to manhood grown Mayhap has many harvest won
 That boyish thoughts have sown. And now, ah now, his heart returns,
 From city by the sea, To trace the brook among the ferns,
 The boy that used to be. A boys heart still, though old in years,
 He thanks God this Is so, And sighs, II find the brook endears
 The life of long ago. There's nothing, nothing like the brook
 To lift the human heart. Iris like leaf of Gods own book,
 Of endless life part" ... ''Maple Corners" Wilmington, Conn.

 B. H. BACON, Le Roy, N. Y.: For over forty years 1 have been a sufferer from sick headaches. About year ago my attention was directed to Bacon's Celery King. With but little faith in it how ever gave 1t a trial, and the result was gratifying and surprising; my headache leaving at once. Since that time 1 have not be without 1t under any consideration. My headaches used to always return every seventh day, but, thanks to Bacon's Gel cry King, have had but one in the last eleven months. You are at liberty to re- fer any one to me for further particulars. Hoping that what cured me will help oth- CTS, remain yours truly,
