The Right Remedy Will
Danish 1t Forever.

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the fortunes produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The Doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is disordered state Of
the blood, and the only cure for it Ia
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific Is.
s. S. goes down to the very bottom OF
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.
Mr.. Z. K. s. Olinkenbeard, q pronl-
nent attorney Of Mt. Sterling, KY,

QUOTATIONS FROM GENERAL
LEES WRITINGS.

Thursday, January 10th, being Gen
eral Lees birthday, The following quo
tations from his writings will be OF
interest:
There is true glory and true hon
or-the glory Of duty done, The honor
of integrity Of principle.
Duty is the sublimest word in our
language.
Do your duty in all things, like the
ole Puritan. You cannot do more; you
should never wish to do less.
Never do wrong thing to make q
friend or to keep one.
A true man of honor feels humbled
himf elf when he cannot help humbling
others.
Above all, do not appear to others
what you are not We should live, act
and say nothing to The injury OF any
one.
Obedience is tie first requisite in
family training. It should be made
sincere and perfect, and to proceed as
much from affection as conviction Of
its necessity.
The choice of profession is not OF
so much Of Importance as the manner
in which it is pursued.
1 have a selt-imposed task which I
must accomplish. I have led the young
men of the South to bsttle; have eeen
many of them fall under my standard.
I shall devote my life now to training
young men to do their duty in life.
An essential part Of the education of
youth is to teach them to serve them
selves, and to impress upon them the
fact that nothing good can be acquired
in this world without labor, and that
the very necessaries and comforts Of
life must be procured by earnest and
regular exertion.
How great The Importance, then, Of
every parent exercising the necessary
control over the child until sixteen! BY
proper management this would not be
difficult and might be the means of
saving him from crime, misery, and re-
morse.
A child has everything to learn, and
is more readily taught by having before
itlgood examples to initiate them by
simple preceptS.
l did only what my duty demanded. |
I could have taken no other course
without dishonor. And if all were to
be done over again, I should act in /
precisely the same manner.
I was not in favor of secession and
was opposed to the war. I was for the
constitution of the union established by
our forefathers. No one now is more
in favor OF that union and that consti-
stuion, and as far as know, il is that
for which the South has all along con-
tended; and if restored, as trust they |
will be, am sure there will be no
truer supporters Of that union and that
constitution than the Southern people. /
l have fought against the people of
the North because believed they were
seeking to wrest from the South her
dearest rights. But I have never cher
ished toward them bitter or vindictivs
feelings, and have never seen the day
when I did not pray for them. {

When a man begins to advertise.
It means he's fall Of enterprise;
He's got the bsrnacles off his bach.
And shows his fellows where they lack
The old mossbacks may growl and HEX,
But the advertiser "gets there" quick,
Providing all bis wares are straight, !
Reasonable in price and up-to-dats. *
Truth and facts must be the rule;
For the people now You cannot fool,
Since in this sgs they read and think,
And follow che light OF printers ink.
