Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change
a few years of married life will make
in the appearance and disposition of
many women. The freshness. the
charm, the brilliance vanish like the
bloom from a peach which is rude
ly handled. The matron is only dim
shadow, faint echo of the charming
maiden. There are two reasons for
this change, ignorance and neglect.
Few young women appreciate the shock
to the system through the change which
comes with marriage. Many neglect
to deal with the unpleasant drains
which are often consequent on marri-
age and motherhood, not understand
ing that this secret drain is robbinR
the cheek of it's freshness and form of
its fairness. AS surely as the general
health suffers when there is deraDge-
ment of the health of the delicate wo-
manly organs, 60 surely when these or
gans are established in health the face
and form at once witness TO the fact in
renewed comeliness. Half a million
women and more have found health
and happiness in the use ofDr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t makes weak
women strong and sick women well.

Next Fairs Canvass for Congress.

Congressman Quarles is betraying a
commendable interest in his constitu-
ents. He was an interested spectator
at the Botetourt county fair earlier in
the fall. The Amherst New Era notes
that he was visitor recently at Am
herst county court. 1t is reported that
he has been around mixing with the
people in other counties in the eastern
part of the district. The congress
man is evidently getting ready for an
other canvass, which is now only about
eight months off. 1t is reliably report
ed that State Senator Flood again has
his eye on the congressional seat from
the Tenth Virginia district, and if the
expected happens Mr.. Flood will again
be found in the ring at no uncertain
pace before the legislature adjourns in
the spring. These are but straws as
to the canvass for congress. in this dis
trict next fall. Other developments
may be expected later. 1t is evident,
however, that the Democratic nomi-
nation. will not 20 begging. AS to the
Republican nomination it is to be con-
cluded from the recent showing of the
party that it will not be much sought.

The Oldest Presbyterian Congregation


A Snow Hill, Md, correspondent
writes the Philadelphia Record
"The Presbyterian church at Snow
Hill, Nd, claims to be the first one of
that denomination organized in Amer
ica. The founder of the Presbyterian
church in America came to this coun-
try in 1883, and Immediately began bis
work on the Eastern Shore of Mary
land. Even at that time Snow Hill
was town of Importance, being situ-
ated upon navigable river and being
a port of entry and export.
REV. Francis Mackenzie landed in
that part of Maryland, and it is reason
able to conclude that he began his Ia
bors. not in the wilderness, but where
there was large settlement. Forty
three years before Baltimore came
upon the scene of action Snow Hill was
a town. and 46 years before similar
act was passed for any Of the towns
now in that section of country Snow
Hill was laid out by an act of the Cen
eral Assembly of Maryland. Thirty
four years after Francis Mackenzie came
we find by the records of the church
that 'PresbyterY was called Snow
Hill. The founding OF the old church
the corner stone of the present beauti-
full structure was laid, and it bears the
name of Mackenzie Memorial"

thorized the publication of a state
ment in which he says that he "does

Nervous and chronic diseases and

You may not suffer any pain and you
may not notice any inconvenience, ex-
cept weak, exhausted and tired out
feeling and frequent attacks of the
blues. You may be sure that if you
are not getting better you are getting
worse. Such diseases never remain at

such sufferers should consult DIR.

An interesting table has been pre-
pared by the Democrat, Of Bowling
Green, Ohio, which is rich in it's con-

vaunted Mckinley prosperity is PROF.
perity for the trusts, but certainly
not for farmers. The Democrat advis-
es reades to take nobody's word for it.,
not even its own, but to inquire of
merchants whether its figures are right;
but there is little doubt that they are
approximately correct. The table is
of date Oct. 13, but fluctuations in
prices since have been only slight. This

Silver Republicans Will Support
Nebraskal for President.
THEIR COMMI9TEE NET
In Chicago Last Week and Perfect
ed Plans for the Great Campaign.
Live Items from Highland County
and Other Adjacent Territory.

The special meeting of the Nationa
Committee of the Silver Republican
party which met in Chicago last week
adjourned to meet at the call of th,
chairman, after having taken actor
that practically assured the fusion O.
the party with the Democratic ant
Populist parties, the endorsement Of
the Democratic platform and the pres
idential candidate Of that party. The
subcommittee appointed to decide or
the most practical date and place fol
holding the national convention and
also to report on matters of practical
organization for the campaign, includ.
ing the apportionment of delegates
from the various States to the national
convention, submitted Its report to the
committee and after lengthy discus
sion, its recommendation with one or
two minor amendments, were adopted.
The sub committee recommended that
all OF the matters in question be re-
ferred for action to the executive COM
mittee, of which former Senator F. w.
Dubois, of Idaho, is chairman.
Chairman Towne gave out the fol.
lowing official statement of the action
of the committee
A resolution was unanimously
adopted that a national convention of
the Silver Republican party be held
and the executive committee was in
structed to confer with the Democrat
ic and P0pulist National Committee
in an effort to secure. if possible, the
holding of all three national conven-
tiOns at the same time and place and at
the earliest practical date, to the end
that complete cooperation of the re.
form forces may be had. The execu-
tive committee was authorized to deter
mine the number of delegates to the
national convention, the same to be not
less than 1900, to arrange the basis of
selection and to allot the representa-
tlOn from each State.
1t was decided that the call for the
convention shall include as eligible to
representation all those voters who
heretofore, prior to 1895, or since, have
acted politically with the Republican
party, but are bi-metanists and favor
the unrestricted and independent
coinage of both gold and silver at the
present legal ratio. and who are oppos-
ed to the policy of extending the gold
standard in the United States by re
tlring the greenbacks, destroying the
full money power of the existing sill
yer dollars, providing for the payment
Of all Government obligations and the
redemption of all forms of paper money
in gold alone and surrendering to a
banking combination the sovereign
function of issuing paper money.
Pledges were made covering the ex-
penses of holding the National Cou-
rention, and Hon. Elwood s. Corser.
Of Minneapolis, was chosen treasurer
Of the committee, with instructions to
maintain relations of practical coop
Grafton with the Democratic and Pop
ulist National Committees.
1t is thoroughly understood that the
Silver Republicans will heartily sup
port the Hon. w. J. Bryan in the event
that be is re-nominated by the National
Democratic Convention.

There never has been a remedy in the
history of medicine that has done what this
marvellous " Favorite Prescription " has
accomplished for weak, ailing women.
It's an insult to your intelligence for a
dealer to attempt to palm off upon you a
substitute for this world-famed medicine.
You kmov what you want. It's his business
to meet that Yarf. When he urzes some
substitute he's thinking of the larger profit
he'll make-not of your welfare.
