inquire. Let it be known to them
that there are large patches on the

roasteth his shins before the red
hot stove Of his mother in law.

The greatest claims for SIS. (Swift's

cured, ard after all the most valuable
reputation is one which in given by those
who speak from experience. We could

che testimony Of reputable. well-known
people ia different parts of the country,
who gladly tell of how SIS has cured
them of blood diseases, amer trying
other treatment in vain.
No wonder S.S.S. has such stauuch
friends. The experience of those who
take il 20 day will be the same as of
those who twenty years ago found II the
only cure. Blood diseases are obstinate,
and cannot be cured by one medicine
in a dozen which claims TO cure them:
so when S SIS. Is taken with satisfactory
results, after a Disappointing expert
ence with other remedies, Il is not
strange that it has grateful friends by
the score.

the score.

Mr.. William Sewers, of Bradford. Ohio,
was cured by SIS. ten years ago of a
severe blood poison, and writes that to
this day no sign of the dreadful disease
has ever returned. He says:
II had terrible blood disease which
is considered iucurable, and was treated
for long time by the best physicians,
but they did me no good. The disease
seemed to get frmer hold on me, and
attacked my tongue and throat, whiclI
were soon full of vile ulcers.
81 changed doctors several times, and
afterwards took nearly every blood rem
edy on the market, without the slightest
benefit. After FIVE years Of treatment
which did me no good whatever, was
induced TO try S.S.S. This remedy
proved itself equal to the case, for in Is
lew months was entirely cured and my
skin was perfectly clear and smooth.
/ could hardly believe that the cure was
permanent, but ten years have elapsed
and no sign of the disease has yet ap-
peared."

Representative Jones, after much
perseverance and argument, has sue
ceeded in having q special order
issued from the Department of Agri-
culture, modifying the "cattle quar-
antine" line for the State of Virginia.
and it will be of immense benefit 10
the farmers and stock-raisers OF not
only the Northern Neck, but of Il
large portion OF the State, as it will
enable them to take their cattle 10
Northern markets and sell them
without let or hindrance from officials
and rivals in other States.
The Southern cattle line, which
has just been established by the
Secretary of Agriculture, will go into
effect February 18th next. This line,
as established year ago, has been
so modified as to correspond with the
quarantine line established by the
last General Assembly of Virginia, at
tie instance OF the Agricultural De
partment. The line, as it will now
run, throws Middlesex, Accomac and
Northampton counties north of the
quarantine section, and enables all
of the counties of the Rappahannock
Valley and the two Eastern Shore
counties to ship their cattle to BaIti
more, New York and other Northern
markets.
Mr.. Jones has taken great interest
in the establishment Of this line, rs
his constituents are largely affected
by it. He induced the department.
to take the counties named out OF
the quarantined section. He urged
that the line be thrown far enough
south to exclude the whole of his
district, but it was not deemed safe
to do SO.

nesday for the purpose of opening
the certificates and counting the
votes for electors for President and

1t took just tifty-six minutes to COM
plete the job and nothing occurred
during the proceedings to rob the
occasion of its purely perfunctory
character. Everybody knew what
the result Of the count would be and
no one of course is surprised. that Con-
gress has officially proclaimed to the
world that William Mckinley and
Garrett 4. Hobart were elected in
November last rs President and Vice
President, respectively, of the United
States. The result as announced was
that Mckinley had received FL votes
for President and Bryan 176; that
Hobart had received for Vice resi-
dent 271 votes, Sewall 149 and Thos.
Z. Watson 81. The inaugural cere-
monies come next, and then the
good times of course are expected,
which gold bug orators assured us
would be the result of McKinley's
election, and no one surely is so
much of a partisan as not to want
them. Down with the trusts and

which your party has brought so
many curses upon the country, and
give us prosperity, and we are with
You.

This list was kindly given to me a

list, instead of the assessments
amounting to $3.50 500, they ought to
be ut least $4,000, 600.
Ten years ago the Attorney Gen

| have given above the result. The
commissioners of the revenue will
commence their work in Il few days,
making assessments for the Year 1897.
We will be able TO see in the next
report of auditor on September 30tl,
1897, what those officers will do in
making proper assessments and IN
assessing this particular property Tor
back years.
If assessments are not uniform,
then, make them SO or have no MS
sessmentS. All boats, vessels, &c
owned by corporations, are assessed
by The Board of Public Works for
taxation. Large merchant ships,
owned by VirSinians, sailing to for
eign ports, should be listed for taNa-
zion. Are they:
y citizen of Middlesey, owning Il
sail vessel carrying oysters from Vir
ginia waters to Baltimore, New York
or elsewhere, has TO give in that
vessel as personal property, have her
assessed and pay the tax. y citizen
of Virginia owningta large merchant
ship, sailing from Virginia waters TO
foreign ports, should also give in this
ship as personal property, have her
assessed and pay the TAX. We know
there are large merchant ships,
owned by citizens of Virginia, sailing
TO foreign ports, not listed for taxa
ton. The laws of Virginia are ample
to have proper assessments. Are
they properly executed: They are
fully executed in our section OF Vir-
ginia. have given the facts as they
appear il the Reports OF The Aud
itor, l will not comment further
than simply to say, if the law taxing
vessels and boats is not executed in
all sections of our State alike, then
the 18th clause OF schedule IS of taX-
able subjects should be repealed. Ii
one species of personal property is
taxed in one section OF the State,
then this same personal property
should be taxed wherever found in
