Through the Valley of Virginia.

1t is said that the Cumberland Val.
icy Railroad company will extend Its
line from Winchester through the Val.
ley of Virginia southwark. Their en-.
gineers have already made a horse.
back survey through that section, and
their report or the line is favorable.
If rumor be true, work on the new
line in Rockbridge county will COM
mence in the early spring. If this
road can get possession of the line tor
merly surveyed and partly constructed
by the Valley Brarch of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, the work will be
comparatively light between Lexing-
ton aud Salem, as much heavy
masonry and many cuts and fills have
already been done.

Can cubans Govern Themselves?

One of the best known diplomat
lists recently declared that the Cubans
are incapable OF governing themselves,
and that the United States must
maintain its present control inde6-
nitely, or else annex the island. There
will be those who will dispute this,
but there are none who dispute the
we'll established fact that Hostetter's S
Stomach Bitters is capable OF CONTROL
ing the diseases of the stom-
ach. 1t is a remedy that is backed
by fifty years of success. 1t is an
ideal medicine for constipation; a
strength builder for those who are
p~redisposed to lung troubles, and for
nervousness it is of wonderful benefit.
As an appetizer it is incompatible.
Those whose stomachs are out of or
der should not fail to try a bottle.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty
four hours; a sediment or settling in
dicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys; if it stains your linen it is
evidence of kidney trouble; too FREE
quent desire to pass it or pain in the
back is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulflls every wish in curing rheuma-
tism, pain in the back, kidney, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passages. 1t c~orrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that up
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and to get
up many times during the night. The
mild and the extraordinary effect OF
Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures OF the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should
have the best. At druggists fifty
cents or one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and
a book that tells more about it, both
sent absolutely free by mail, if you
send your address to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing be sure and mention that
you read this generous offer in the
Martinsburg Herald.

country President Arthur sent him IN
1882 as United States minister. He re-
manned in China until the opening Of
the first Cleveland administration,
when he returned to this country and
engaged in literary and business pur-
suits.
When the new library of congress
was completed attention was directed
to the choice of a librarian embodying
literary ability and executive manage
ment, and President Mckinley named
Mr.. Young on July 1, 1897. He entered
upon his duties while the library was
still in its cramped quarters at the cap
itol, and saw it expand into the classic
temple of the arts and literature which it
now occupies. The transition involved
not only a removal of vast stores of
precious volumes, but the complete re-
organization of the library staff. Mr..
Young directed all of this, bringing
about the change from the old to the
new with smoothness and success. tits
said that his time had been spent in
part on contribution to literature
which he had hoped to complete as the
chief literary achievement of his life.
