Why do you go to the city to buy your
furniture, when you can buy it from G.
7. Knight and save money, and have the
same delivered at your house? 1 was in
Mr.. Knights beautiful store rooms and
found one of the most complete and up
to date stock of furniture that Ihave ever
seen in any store outside the city. 1
asked Mr.. Knight why it was that he sold
SO much more goods than his predeces-
sors, and he said, why, the reason is
easily explained. In the first place keep
a larger assortment of goods, and know
exactly what to buy to please my usto-
mers, and being a mechanic myself ena-
bles me to buy goods that are made sub
stantial and durable" Mr.. Knight is
one of the hustling and up-to-date furni-
ture men of the valley, and he sells more
goods than all the rest of the furniture
men of the county. His wagon is busy
every day distributing goods, and he al
ways has orders ahead. Any one contem-
plating buying furniture will do wisely
by calling on Mr.. Knight before buyinq
elsewhere, and I will assure any one who
calls the most cordial treatment from the
genial proprietor and his salesman, Mr..
d. D. Durham,

Miss Julia R.. Rodgers, the daughter of
DR.. Evan B. Rodgers, of Baltimore, has
been in town during the past week look
ing after her large landed property on
the south side of the Shenandoah river.
She made several visits of inspection of
the several mill sites and water powers,
notably the one at the "Old Furnace
opposite Watson's Factory, where, in re-
cent years, the Ore was mined from the
adjacent hills and converted proftably
into marketable iron. 1t is likely these
industries will soon be again in successful
operation.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes.
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
n~auseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
