DR.. J. M. Bailey Dead,

A dispatch from Boston, Mass.
dated September Sth, says:
DIR. j. NJ. Bailey, who is we'll known
in Bristol and through Virginia died
this morning at $3.50 o'clock.
DR.. Bailey lost one of his eyes over
a year ago and the other had been
greatly impaired and had been of but
little use for the past fifteen years,
and the loss of the one last year made
him nearly blind. He could neither
read nor write, he was taken sick
last winter and finally ended in
Bright's disease which closed his life.
DR.. Bailey, as all who knew him,
was very energetic man and pro-
moter Of public improvements.
through his untiring energy he
caused the building of the Atlantic
d Danville and South Atlantic d
Ohio railroads. Southwest Virginia
in particular owes him debt of
gratitude Tor opening up communlca-
ton to the great coal fields Of Wise
county and the iron ores between
Bristol and Big Stone Gap.
| well recollect the starting Of the
work October %, 1885. At that
lime we had but seven thousand dol
ars in sight to build 70 miles of
abroad, but through his energy he
Kept the treasury in funds to perse-
'ere in building the road, and not a
lay past but every man was paid on
ime and every bill paid without pro-
est or being past due SO long as he
emained at the head Of the manage
lent. Bristol was his favorite town
nd his aim was always to benefit
'ristol.

tempt of Court.

ingdom yesterday, was decided very

Poplar Lumber Co. desired to exc
cute bond in the sum OF 500, 600, but

lar Lumber Co. aud G. +. Fisher,
president, Leon Isaacson, general
agent, and Thomas Reynolds. Vir-
ginia agent. for cutting timber on
that land which had been attached
in the cause of S. F., Chapman VS.
Y. P. L. Co. The court delivered
lengthy opinion on the trouble it had
in the border counties with persons
who had violated the rules of the
conrt, and fined the lumber company
$500; G. F. Fisher, president Of the
$500; Leon Issacson. $3.50,
and Thomas Reynolds, 800. This
will, Of course, put stop 10 the cut
ting OF timber on the lauds forbidden

AClever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but there
is really no trick about it. Anybody
can try it who has lame back and
weak kidneys, malaria or nervous
troubles. We mean he can cure him
self right away by taking Electric
Bitters. This medicine tones up the
whole system, acts as a stimuiant to
liver and kidneys, is blood purifier
and nerve tonic. 1t cures constipa-
ton, headache, fainting spells, sleep
leSsness and melancholy. 1t is purely
vegetable, mild laxative, and re-
stores the system to its natural vigor.
Try Electric Bitters and be convinced
that they are miracle worker.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only SOC
a bottle at j. w. Kelly's drug store.
