Lewisburg is the Oldest town

looks as il it might defy many
more centuries of time. 1t is
the same to-day as it was before
the war, and it looks as If It may
be the same henceforth and for
ever. It has the same sleepy
look, the same lack Of hustle,
aud animation, the same set OF
hotel loungers who smoke and
recount deeds Of former times.
the same stumbling old negro
men with their cabins, cabbage
patches and pig styes, SO famll-
lar to the residents farther south.
II was founded by William Lewis,
one Of the famous Lewis family,
and the first fort was called Fort
Donnally. It was from here that
Gen. Andrew Lewis and his
brother. Col. Chas. Lewis march
ed overland to the mouth of the
Kanawha river with the army Of
Virginia, cutting down Chief
Cornstalk and scattering his

from here that the famous
"Greenbrier Massacre" occurred.
1t was here that one Of the hot

FROM HOME.
Boys In the West Get Loving Messages;
Amusing BIunders.

During the holiday season the
telegraph lines always carry a
great mass Of congratulatory
messages between people in diff
rerent parts of the country.
Friendly messages inspired by
the time are frequent between
parents in the East, particularly
| in New York and New England
and their sons who are seeking
their fortunes in the West. 1t is
so jolly for homesick boy in
a Colorado mining camp or ON a
Montana ranch. who has been
living on SOW belly for a year
and is thinking Of turkey, juicy
steaks, side dishes and deserts,
to receive from his frugal mother
in Boston, a telegram referring
him to aEchapter and verse in
Luke or Genesis. 1t inspires
him with the spirit of Christmas
tide and makes him feel like
Kicking his cayuse in the ribs.
One boy IN Wyoming on
Christmas night received one Of
these messages. It read: .'See
Corinthians, iv. O." or something
like that, and the poor fellow
his horse and rode IL
miles to find a Bible in order to
discover what the reference was.
But when a young man from
Boston, who is piously engaged
in sailing a mine in Idaho, re-
ceived the injunction: See
Hebrews, IL, g." he Indignantly
wired back: Not a Hebrew in
town. Send winter under
clothes" One message was
"balled up" by the operator and
the chapter and verse we're trans
posed. The dear old mother
thought she WIGS telling her boy
to BE of good cheer, for the re-
ward Of them that labor is sure,'
but when the son found on look
ing up the mlssent reference was.
Woe unto ye, unrlghteous.
He'll gapeth and will not be salts
fed till it shall swallow you up"

The disappearance of city or

pert accountant to go over the
records Of the city. He discov-
cred the loss of the orders and
reported it. The council ordered
the city treasurer not to pay any
orders Of those issued, but in the

Three society girls sat in the newly dec
GRATED bopdoir Of the blue-eyed girl. The
brown-eyed girl remarked that she wished
some one would remind her to buy tooth
brush the next time she went downtown
Then she laughingly asked:
Girls, what would you call toothbrush

II would call it a necessity" exclaimed
the blne.eyed girl. "That reminds me,
girls" she continued, "of a story my Uncle
james used to tell. always had my doubts
about this story of Uncle James, but will
tell you what he said
He was going from Boston to New York
one time on one of the new Sound steam

James got up first, dressed, and went on

Medicinal Variety.
re only a few OF them left,

There are only few Of them left.
Since Chas. A. Dana's death, Joseph Me
dill, the war-horse of the Chicago Tribune
is the chief surviving representative of the
old school of virile, aggressive editorial
giants.
To have mud thrown at them was part of
the profession at all times, but to find health
in mud is rather modern innovation. That
is what Joseph Medill has been doing OF
late.
Mr. Medill is an investigator and when
the stories of the miraculous Magno-Mud at
Indiana Mineral Springs began to spread
over the country, the great editor became
interested and eventually decided to try this
mysterious substance on his own rheumatic
limbs and weigh its value. He was accom-.
panied by his private physician, young
Armenian scientist of high attainments.
The great editor was mud.mummified daily
for several weeks and gained visibly in
weight, strength and vitality.
The final result of the experiment was an
unqualified success Mr.. Medil went
back to Chicago in September, and wrote an
editorial about Magno- Mud with his own
hand. Next, he sent his son-in-law for a
little of the mud-treatment. In November
he went down again, and since the new
bath house is completed he expects to be a
regular visitor four times year.
This mud-treatment in which Mr.. Medill
found so much virtue, is peculiar, yet logical.
After all, every form of life springs from the
earth, which is the great destroyer and assim-
lator of dead and effete matter. At the
Indiana Mineral Springs is beautiful little
natural amphitheatre, the slopes being
grown with magnificent oaks. At the foot Of
the converging hills, big Lithia spring
gushes forth at the rate of 5000 barrels day
and floods the soil, which consists of rich,
black porous loan, fed by the deciduous
foliage of the. oak trees. This peculiar soil
saturated with mineral salts for ages, is as
soluble as sugar, and being devoid of clay is
not sticky in the least. 1t is not, therefore,
in any sense related to the conventional mud
of the roadway, of the Chicago street or to
the variety which clings to your heels
The mud is applied to the patient on cot,
the subject being entirely encased in the
substance, steamed to proper temperature.
1t then acts as q poultce, stimulates the
skin, superficial blood vessels and nerves,
opens the pores and Initiates the blood, dis
solving all uric acid deposits. Nothing can
be simpler or more resfenal.

But he wasn't, because

"There's nothing succeeds like success"
There Is no withstandipg the living argu-
ment Of the man who should be dead, who

a preserving medicine. That's about the
way il seemed to strike Editor Lawrence,
OF the Ohio Farmer, Cleveland, Ohio. He
was afflicted with one Of those colds that
have, thousands Of times over, eliminated

In this condition he met friend, con-

had "helped him wonderfully" 1t helped

Beginning Feb. 9th, q new train was
placed in service between Chicago and Den
yer via the Chicago, Union Pacific & North

schedule, ever maintained between Chicago
and Colorado Capital City.
This train will be known as "The Colorado

every day and reach Denver at l:30 the fol-
lowing afternoon. Eastbound, this train
will leave Denver daily at $3.50 P. M. and
reach Chicago 8:45 the next evening Con-
neetions will be made in the Union Depot
at Denver to and from trains of all the Colo

Train will be vestibuled throughout,
lighted with Pintsch gas, and will consist of
Drawing Room Sleeping Cars, Free Reclin-

with the service of this train, which will be
appreciated by tourists, is that it will afford
an opportunity for daylight ride through
the progressive and thickly settled portions
of Illinois and Iowa, which has been i'm
possible heretofore, as all trains for Denver
have left Chicago in the evening.

At home stations the private soldiers
washing is usually done by the married SOL
diers' wives, who are expected to sew on
missing buttons and do repairs, for which
a small sum is deducted from the private's
pay.
Pat McGinnis had a good deal of trouble
with his laundress; Sunday after Sunday
had his shirt come back with the neck but
ton off, or else hanging by thread. He
had spoken to her on the subject and she
had promised to see to it, but still the but
ton was not on properly.
He got out of patience one Sunday when
The missing button had made him late for
parade, and exclaimed

He then took the lid of tin blacking box.
about three inches in diameter, drilled two
holes in it with fork and sewed it on to the

found that she had taken the hint; she had

He tried the best physicians but without
being benefited and has used several specific
rheumatic cures, but was not helped.
About one year and six months ago he read
in this paper of q case somewhat similar to
his which was cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and concluded to try this remedy.
After taking the first box he felt some
what better, and after using three boxes, the
pains entirely disappeared, the dizziness left
him, and he has now for over year been
entirely free from all his former trouble and
enjoys better health than he has had since
his boyhood.
He is loud in his praise of DR.. Williams
