Cork Legs Were Scarce.

One day in 1880 Senator Hampton
was going on his crutches from the sem
ate chamber to the house Of representa-.
tives. In the middle of the big rotunda
he met very large man, also on crutch-
es. He was q member of congress from
Illinois, Republican, whose name /
cannot now recall. Hampton stopped
him and kindly asked his name and
how he had received his injury. After
giving his name the congressman said
amputation was necessary by reason of
a shot he had received in a fight with
Hampton's cavalry. He did not dream
he was talking to Wade Hampton him
self. Il am Wade Hampton, =" said the
senator. eff you have tho leisure, please
sit down and let us talk. B" Hampton
had lost his leg after the war, when
thrown from a mule while deer hunt
ing. The amputation was identical with
that Of the congressman, and thoy fell
a-talkin8. Up to that time neither had
found cork leg he could wear, and
they discussed cork legs for a great
while. They parted, after mutual pro
LESSONS Of esteem. The next morning I
heard the congressman tell the story in
the committee room, and there never
was a man who had higher regard for
Wade Hampton than he had l believe
Hampton later found leg he could
wear. Louisville Courier Journal

Don't Neglect Your Liver.

Liver troubles quickly result in serious
complications, and the man who neglects his
liver has little regard for health. A bottle
of Browns Iron Bitters taken now and then
will keep the liver in perfect order If the
disease has developed, Browns Iron Bitters
will cure it permanently. Strength and
vitality will always follow its use.
Browns Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.

The Ruined California Grape Crop.

The partial loss to the grape crop this
year caused by the heavy rains is esti-
mated to exceed 81 900 600. Farmers
and vineyards over the northern
part of the State have suffered, and
shipments of the fruit to the East are
proportionally small, At least one
quarter of the crop is lost while this
is true. it is equally fact that lost and
failing siren tn may be restored to the
weak and nervous by the persistent
systematic use of the great national
tonic, Hostetter' s Stomach R,tters.
which renews the tone and harmonious
activity of the stomach, liver and the
bowels, counteracts tendency to
rheumatism and kidney complaint. and
prevents malarial disorders. Conval-
tscence. after exhausting diseases have
run their course, is often timeous and
tedious. Recovery is generally acceler-
ated by the use of the Bitters, which
improves appetite and imparts renewed
vigor to debili5ated physique. A wine
glassful before meals creates hearty
zest for food

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one OF
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one purpose
and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back oi
and very close to the bladder, there
fore any pain, disease or inconveni-
ence manifested in the kidneys. back,
bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty tour
hours; sediment or settling indi-
Gates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mild and the extraordinary effect Of

because Its conclusion is the result OF
an honest conviction which has come
in spite Of its prejudlces in favor OF the
section which II represents.
In this day OF competition the margin
NJ profit is so small that every advantage
must be taken by manufacturers in order
10 make an enterprise pay. The South has
several very pronounced advantages over
the North in the manufacture of cotton
and necessarily the Southern mills are
f,ourishlng while the Northern mills are
languishing.
To give this article local application.
we renew our suggestion that Richmond
is most advantageously situated for the
manufacture Of cotton goods, and 1t Is
marvel to us that there are not flourish
ins cotton factories in this vicinity.
