What eYerYbodY Knows,

Or ought to know, is that health and even
life ITSELF depends upon the condition of
the blood. Feeding, as it does, all the
organs of the body, it must be rich and
pure in order to give proper nourishment.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the blood pure,
rich and nourishing, and in this way
the nerves, creates an appe-
tite, tones the stomach and builds up the
health. Hoods Sarsaparilla wards off
colds, pneumonia and fevers, which are
prevalent at this time.

Commanding Officer 9th Penn. Cavalry.
understand that you have established
line of picllets on the Potomac river,
under orders from Brigadier General
Sullivan, interfering with the crossing
of the Potomac river by persons with my
passes, and also refusing to allow my pa
trolls to cross. Maj. Gen1 Sheridan has
telegraphed me that Gen'l Sullivan is not
on duty, but awaiting orders and is not
authorized to assume any command
This interference of your pickets in my
military district with my command, is all
wrong. desire you either at once to
withdraw your Picieets or instruct them
that they are alone to prevent crossing
of contra band articles or rebels, and not
to interrupt loyal citizens or troops on
duty. john D. STEVENSON.

of goods in all departments and are running

year for us our business increased more than
% per cent over 1886 and we expect to in
crease our business 80 per cent in 1898; other
merchants are sending out statements and
trying to collect money on accounts and n
large percentage they will never collect; the
customer who pays for his goods and buys
of merchant who sells on time has to pay
for those who never pay; we owe nobody
and nobody owes us: we buy for cash and
sell for cash; we can buy from 10 to % per
cent less for cash than on time and can aE-
ford to sell 20 per cent cheaper for cash than
on time. That Is why we always sell goods
10 to 80 per cent cheaper than other mer-
chants who sell on time; we thank the pub
lie for past liberal patronage and hope to re-
ceive larger share of Your patronage this
