The New Primary.

The new primary cleo ton ordered for Thursday, June 16, to nominate a candidate for sheriff and prosecut- ing attorney, will not be legal:zed primary. It cannot be a legalized primary because it was not ordered in time to com.ly with the law, which requires that the chairman of the Democratic Central Committee shall file certificate of the same with the county clerk twenty days before said primary is held. But the Democratic County Convention, which ordered the primary, adopted resolution that each candidate should be authorized to select one of the Judges in each voting precinct, which will, in measure, be a safe guard against fraud.
 The eyes of the people of Jefferson county, and the world, will be on that primary. If any fraud is com mitted or attempted, there will be such an uprising of the honest peo- pie of this county as was never known before, and the author Or au- thors ,of it will be spurned forever by the respectable element ot the county.
 The Democrats of the county owe it to themselves, their county and State to exculpate themselves from the charge of fraud, and to set the seal of their condemnation forever upon unfair and dishonest election methods. The fraud of the last pri- mary should therefore be guarded against and rebuked, and the fair name of our county and society re- deemed from the obloquy that has been put upon it by designing and dishonest men.

GPipna Cured.

"Last winter I had bad cold and severe cough. was lame in every joint and muscle. I was sick and felt as though was coming down with typhoid fever. It was no doubt a bad case of grippe. MT. E. P. Budge gave me bot tie of Brazilian Balm, saying he was sure it would help me. The relief was almost instantaneous. It quickly stopped my cough and took the grippe with all the pains and soreness out of my system. l gave the balance of the 50-eent bottle to Mrs. Bishop Wiley for her daughter. It proved so beneficial she says she never intends to be without it. ''-E lwin Fitz Jones, Cincinnati, Ohio.

rather than submit to ballot Dc X stuffing and false election returns, and other conduct calculated to re fleet upon the honor and integrity of the community, it's better te have dissension and division.

Thousands have tried from time imme- morial to discover some cflicacious remedy for wrinkles and other imperfections of the complexion, but none had vet sue- ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam ous Complexion Specialists, of 78 Fifth Avenue, New York City, offered the pub lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic The reason so many failed to make thls discovery before is plain, because they have not followed the right principle. Balms Creams, Lotions, etc, never have tonic effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
 The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has amost exhilarating effect upon the cuticle absorbing and carrying off all impurities which the blood by it's natural action is constantly forcing to the surface of the skln. 1t IS to the skin what a vitalizing tonic IS to the blood and nerves, q kind of new life that immediately cxhilarates and strengthens wherever applied It's tonic effect IS felt almost immediately. and if speedily banishes forever from the skin freekles, pimples, blackheads, moth patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughnegs. olliness, eruptions, and discolorations of any kind.
 In order that all may be benefited by Their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will, during the present month, give to all call.

Weston Lewis Of this city, president of
the Sandy River Railroad, has just re-
turned from Pennington where, in
company with Chief Engineer Dunn,
they went to examine the Sandy River
Railroad from Pennington to Strong,
with view of changing the road from
narrow to broad guage.
They find this can be done with little
expense and to the great advantage of
both the Maine Central and the Sandy
River Roads. Strong will, instead of
Pennington, become the terminus of
the narrow guage railroad system of
Franklin county and land can be OBJ
tanned necessary for terminal facilities
at Strong which cannot be secured at
Pennington.
