The hurry and bustle of the housewife
Is extremely wearing upon the delicate Or
ganism Of womanhood.
Her intense earnestness in whatever she
undertakes, tempts her constantly to 60
beyond her strength.
Mrs. L. E. Browning, of Pueblo, Colo,
was one who did this.
Eight years ago." said she, my hus-
band died and was lett with three cid
rem to care for and educate.

livelihood, but in doing SO overtaxed my
self, and undermined my health.
- was very i'll about two years ago with
blood poisoning, caused by an abseess that
had not received proper treatment.
The disease settled in my throat for a
time, causing intense agony.
Then inflammatory rheumatism set in.
For four months and half | was prisoner
in my room, most Of the time confined to
my bed.
my hands were swollen so that cou1d
not feed myself, and the swelling in my feet
and ankles would have made walking i'm
possible if had been strong enough.
"Ons day, after considerable treatment,
my physician brought me box of pills.
'You need a tonic he said, and some
thing that will act at once, and this is the
best medicine for that purpose
pills !" l exclaimed IN surprise as he
opened the box and showed them.

Mrs. Philina Moon, residing on the

East Surry, in the nea; white cottage
overlooking the bay says: Il read several
accounts in the newspapers about

A friend not long ago was telling me
of her mother who is at a critical period In
her life.
"She was subject to terrible fainting
cells, and the entire family would work
over her.
"Dr. Williams Pink Pills have not only
stopped the tainting spells, but given her so
much strength that she is able to take up
lies duties again."
To more highly endorse her words, Mrs.
Browning made affidavit before George W..
Gill, Notary Public.
All diseases arising from an impoverished
condition Of the blood, and most all come
from that, are cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People.
They act directly upon the blood. Build

Worriment a Stranger to Edison.

Two things are unknown to Thomas A.

associates claim that his freedom from
these Affections comes from the fact that
he possesses absolutely no nerves. Re-
Gently one of his associates had to report
to him the failure, in immediate success

enormous expenditure of money and
labor. But the inventor simply smiled a

Good Courage.

Every Christian worker needs to have
the secret of good courage. Courage is
no more necessary to the soldier that
fights his country's battles than to the
soldier of Christ who wages warfare
against the evil of the world The need
of it is constant and urgent. To lose it
is to lose power to overcome. Without
it Joshua would have been but poorly
equipped for the great task thrust upon
him after the death of Moses. No doubt
he was dismayed when he saw what
was expected of him. He was to lead
Israel into the promised land. They had
been rescued from slavery in Egypt,
brought to the borders of Canaan and
were ready to enter upon the inherit
ance promised to Abraham and his seed.

DELAYED A MAIL TRAIN.
The Town of Ravenswood Sned for
Damages for Arresting Brakeman
and Thus Delaing Mail Train

A report reaches us from Ravens
wood saying that while the O. r..
mail train was lying at the Ravens
wood depot for few moments a
brakeman on the train had some
trouble with a porter and struck him,
giving grounds for complaint of as
sault and battery; the brakeman was
arrested and fined $500 which was
raised to so on request of Gen'l
Manager Burt, thus giving grounds
for suit for damages against the
city of Ravenswood for delaying a
mail train, which was Immediately in
stituted for sum amounting to sew
eral thousands Of dollars.
The requisite papers were signed
at the Van Wrinkle Hotel and the
city of Ravenswood will evidently
awake to the realization of the fact
that it is a dangerous business to
monkey with mail train.

days at this place.
The new ticket agent at this place

there were more railroad men at this

capacity new depot would be built
at Fairmont in the near future.
On Tuesday morning two couples
arrived IN this city from Jake's Run,
though wayworn. weary and dusty
the couple were as happy as could
be, they tarried at this place till the
eastern bound train came to speed
them on to Oakland, where the mar
riage ceremonies were performed.
The happy couple came back on
the excursion train from Mountain
Lake Tuesday night and then de-
parted for their respective homes in
Monongalia county.

Colonel Casteel received orders from

Regiment TO Middletown, Penn, as
soon as transportation can be provid-

thinks this cannot be done earlier
than next Thursday.
The citizens Of Charleston regret
very much to see the regiment leave.
Besides the interesting social features,
their stay here has meant about $50, :
900 month for the business men of
our city, and as for the health and
comfort of the officers and men of
Camp Atkinson have been all that
could be desired, there seems to be no

THE WORK BEGUN.
The Street Paving Contractors
at Work.
Berry 4 kidder ON the Ground with n
Large FOrce-Mr. Berry says if not
Hindered for want of Material they
can pave Six Streets by November 1.

CAN pave DIX StTeetS Dy November l..
A large force Of men under the
direction of Mr.. w. j. Berry began
this forenoon to prepare the founda-
ton for street paving on Foundry
street. The first work is to tear up
the surface with sharp pillow drawn
by six large horses, pulverize and
level it and make a good foundation
on which to lay brick.
The work has excited a great deal
of interest and a great number OF
people have visited the scene of ac-
ton to day to see how it is done.
Mr.. Berry has the air of hustler
and he says he can finish the whole
contract by November LIST if not
hindered for want of material. The
brick are on the ground from the
South Morgantown bridge on Foun-
dry street and up Main to the court
house. 1t would seem from this
start the brick haulers should be
able to keep ahead of the PAYERS.
The long looked for job Is now in
progress and the Impotence hereto
fore shown will disappear. The in
tention is to begin brick laying on
Monday and Mr.. Berry says they
can put all the brick down on Foun
dry street in less than two days. Al
that rate it would not require more
than two weeks to pave Main street.
At all events the work has begun
and there is every indication that il
will be pushed vigorously.
