hcient nourishment is starvation.
When a mans head aches it is because
the tissues of the brain do not receive
sufficient nourishment from the blood, or re-
ceive impure and unhealthy nourishment
When man gets nervous and sleepless it
means that the blood is not properly nour-
ishing the nerves. When his skin breaks
out with blotches and pimples and erup-
tionS, it means that the skin is being fed
upon the impurities of the blood Almost
every known disease is primarily due to
improper nourishment through the blood,
which is the life stream. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is the greatest
of all blood makers and purifiers. 1t gives

does not make corpulent people more cor

of lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and

New York, Dec. 49, Dun's Review oi
Trade will say tomorrow: "The year
closes with the largest volume OF busl'
uess ever known. There has been
enormous transaction in the stock ex
change and heavy increase in railroad
earnings. Exports are twenty five PEI
cent. over last year, which was record
breaker. The clearings exceed that OF
last year twenty-six per cent. and exceed
that of any previous year. Railroad
building has been larger than since 1897.
The export in wheat and corn greatly
exceed that OF last year, and nearly all
manufacturers have advanced their
prices. Iron is isleading."
Bradstreet reports great increase.
and the most sanguine expectations in
holiday goods have been realized.
Probably never before this date was
general business so animated and fail
ures show large decrease.

Death of Col. Buckner.

Information was received here Thurs
day from Mt. Solon announcing the
death of Col. Richard H. Buckner, an
old and respected merchant and farmer
of the Mt. Solon neighborhood, which
occurred at his late residence early
that morning after an illness of only
few days
Just two weeks ago the decs aSed, who
at his death was upwards of 10 years of
age, was united in marriage to Miss
Irene Hottell, who with a brother, Capt.
John Buckner, of Culpeper county, sur
vive him.
Col. Buckner was one of the best men
in Augusta county. His friends (and
they are numerous) will be grieved to
read of his demise, which comes at a
time when least expected. Deceased
was well-to do and owned good property
in the county. The funeral took
place Friday.

the twin evils of Imperialism and mill

Andrew Carnegie to William Jennings
Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan's hurried visit to this city
a week ago was rendered remarkable by
the fact that three prominent public

in 1896, expressed an ardent desire te

a reliable source that the conversation
was mainly confined to the topics OF i'm

said, Mr.. Carnegie declared to be the
most imminent dangers now confront

Mr.. Carnegie, it is said, declared that
the first step toward the destruction OF
the republic would be taken when the

hold upon newly acquired territory
should establish the precedent of main
tanning great standing army.
Mr.. Carnegie characterized the

said, introduce new element into The
