rayed on the side of right, as God gives us to see the right. and ever the friend and advocate of justice to all men, high or low, black or white. and the enemy of oppression, injustice, and of all forms of dishonesty, iobbery. corruption, and malfeasance, whether it be found in public places, public servants, and men of prominent position and influence, or in the lower stratas of life. We have not yet learned to make a distinction between the man of eminence who turns from the paths of rectitude and honor, and the man on the lower rounds of the ladder who steps down into the arena of criminality. Rather let us say that the NEWS will ever bear in mind the fact that "A mans man for a that, !" and giving the right hand of fellowship to every honest man, bid him God speed in every worthy endeavor to bet ter his lot and his condition on his jour- ney through this vale of tears.

FLAGGED IN TIME.

Flagman Thos. McVeigh, of Manches-
 ter, Ct., Heeds a Signal and Averts
 What Might Have Been a Catastro-
 trophe.
 Time and again the good people of Manchester have been warned about the ingoing and outgoing of trains, on more than one level crossing of the N. Y. < N. E R. R. during the many years that Mir McVeigh has carried 8 danger flag for the said company. Any pedestrian who was rash enough to ig- nore the watchman's signals, either met with an accident or was so badly scared that the lesson taught made an impress ion for life. Perhaps from being too long accustomed to seeing his fellow citizens obeying his instructions, Mir McVeigh was quicker to respond to the warning given to him by that inward monitor which never chides without cause. Be that as it may. one thing is certain, if he had not needed the eau tion he would have still been sufferer, and we may safely say he would con- tinue to suffer. But Doan's Kidney Pills are never appealed to in vain; the sequel of Mir McVeigh's experience proves this. He says: II think 1t was four or five years that my back paiued me and had soreness across my kid neys which came on in spells and was very painful. Sharp stitches caught me in the back at times and then again it would be a dull gnawing aching which clung right to me. I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and was induced to procure box at a drug store. I soon found they were helping me and finally the lameness, aching and other symptoms entirely disappeared. I have felt we'll ever since taking them. Doan's Kidney Pills are fine remedy for kidney troubles and I can highly recommend them.

American supply and Safety Lamp
works, Carluccrs stone works, iron
fence works. MCClave and BROOKS
Crate works. builders and contractors
all report good year up to date
ON the part Of the workingmen them
selves il would seem they have done
better. This is not because they have
earned more wages. but because a
general provident ana economic feeling
seems to have prevailed. The mer-
chants and tradsmen say that their
sales have been steady, but not great.
Necessities rather than luXuries have
been the class of goods sold in all di-
visions of the trades supply world here
To sum IL up, ii seems almost exact
to say that the big industries nave
held their own throughout 1898 not
withstanding the cOmmotion and un-
settled feeling caused by the war. The
small concerns have, perhaps, done
better in general way; merchants
and tradesmen have conducted theil
business close to the living point, and
the people have retrenched to the point
of living nicely. but not eNtravagantly
All in all, Christmastide comes this
year with much less forebodings fol
the days that follow than did the
