Scrofula is a disease as old as antiquity
1t has been handed down for generations
and is the same today AS in early times.

the blood That is just what Hood Sar-
sapar'la does in every case where it is
given faithful trial. 1t eradicates all
impurities from the blood, and cures the
sores, boils, pimples and all forms of skin
disease due TO scrOfula taints in the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparila has won the grateful
praise of vast numbers of people by it's
grand and complete cures. Don't allow
scrOfula 10 develop in your blood. Cure
it at once ty taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

FIRST APPOINTMENT.
Judge Rhea Begins His Can
vasS of Smyth County.

MARION, Va. Oct 5.-Hon. w. F
Rhea, democratic candidate for con
gress, filled his appointment for thi,
county by speaking at Atkins at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The ap
pointment had not been well adver-
tised owing to the late day which it
was announced, but nevertheless a
good crowd was on hand to greet the
eloquent standard bearer. His speech,
which lasted two hours, was well re-
ceived and listened to with great at
tention. 1t was an eloquent and
telling arraignment of the republican
principles and their representative
from this district. Rhea showed how
Walker had at all times voted against
the interest OF the people whom he
represented and in favor Of monOpo-
lies and combines. He told how
Walker had lost all influence with
the administration and his party
people, by his bull-dozing tactics and
WalkeriSm. and showed that to-day
he could not get or would not get
anything for his people from the ad-
Rhea claimed that
Walker had even lost all prestige
with his own state committee and
had said he wonld not serve on that
committee for $1,000. He showed
that Walker was not the candidate
of the republican party, but of certain
Chambers of Commerce, Gold Bug
Commercial Combines and Trusts,
who were even now circulating letters
in the district pleading for the cleo
ton of Walker because it would be
to their" interests, and claimed
that, of course, Walker is for trusts
and monopilies against the people.
The arguments in support of the
democratic position were timely and
well put. The speech was logical
and sound and will tell in the election.
Good returns may be expected
from this county on November 9Th.

OLIxGER. LEE COUNrY, Va, Sept. 30
The report of F. NJ b. in the Posr, on The
phenominon observed by him about the
24th reminds me of something similar,
observed by myself and J. NJ. Wyatt, OF
Turkey Cove, some Two or three years
ago. We were standing in Mr.. Wyatt's
yard, happened to look towards the top
Of Walen's ridge, when there came float
ing over the top of the ridge white
cloud in the perfect shape of a man, ten
or twelve feet high and we'll proportioned
feet, legs, arms, body head and hair,
represented as we'll as In photograph.
On the left side Of the man, and at a
distance OF what seemed twenty or thirty
feet away, marched or foated the perfect
image-iu cloud-of very large cock.
with comb, bill aud spurs distinct, in fact
full and perfect image. | Immediately
called Mr. Wyatts attention. We both
we're dumbfounded. What made the
phenominon the more striking was that
there was not cloud to be seen in any
other direction, the day being as clear and
serene as day in June. The images
marched, or hoated on TO about the zenith,
when they dissolved in mist and were
lost to view. D. D. I.
