pEaTu or COLONEL cowAnp1x

The death of Colonel Charles O"Brien
Cowardin IS a public loss and public sor
row. He loved Richmond with ali his
heart. and Richmond loved him. No citizen
was more loyal 20 Richmond. none more de-
voted to her interests. AS editor and man
he exerted himself to promote the welfare
and the happiness of the people whom he
loved so dearly, and Richmond could al
ways command his services. 1t was SAID
Of the late Patrick Walsh, OF augusta
that "his nature was rare combination
OF sweetness and strength; In him Hli1th
and hurnor had for their foundations the
loyalty and devotion that marked his re-
iations TO his duties as man and citl-
zen" This may, with some aptness. be
said OF Colonel Cowardin. His nature was
jovial and affectionate. He loved life: ne
saw the bright side of life; he loved 10
enjoy himself: he loved to make others en-
joy themselves. It was given to few men
to have more friends, and they were all
devoted to him for his amiabie ways and
his sweet comradeship.
He was a useful citizen. He had many
talents, and he employed them for the pen
eft of the public. Did the people want TO
get up a public entertainment? Cowardin
and the Dispatch were sure to be in the
front ranks OF the promoters. Did any
charitable institution desire TO give pubic
entertainment for a good cause? Charlie
r,oyyardin could be counted upon to help
in organizing the enterprise, and often did
he lend his versatility to the entertain
,nent itself. He was, in the full meaning
Of the term, public-spirited citizen Be
sides and above all this he was devout
Christian. and was most active and
earnest member of the church to which
he belonged.
He was personally known TO almost every
man in the community, TO all the leading
men of Virginia, ard 10 every prominent
newspaper man in the South. To all who
knew him his death will be regarded as a
personal as web as public loss; to those
who knew him in friendship his death VIII
be deep personal sorrow.
It seems a hardship to his family ana
friends and to the community at large that
he should have been cut down in the full
flower OF his manhood, and his happy ca
reer ended Yet let us remember that our
friend has been called to the land of ever
lasting youth-before even his genial spirit
was chilled by the winter of old age, and
before the evil days had come and. the
years drawn nigh when thou shalt say:

Bryan. although it might have lost its

country to receive such vindica Gon as

and exalted him, said by their act and by
their cheers that he was right four years
ago, that he was right now, and by those
cheers his course was completely vindi-

The employment by American ply
sicians OF the Latin language in writing
their prescriptions may
FfescF'p''o"s seem to some at
}" la'"'' fectation, but there is
a practical side to it. A Philadelphia
Druggist makes the following interesting
explanation:
ITS not entirely in order, as most lay
men suppose, 10 prevent the patient from
knowing what drugs are called for, al
though this may sometimes be the case,
as in the prescription you have just
handed me, which reads: 'Sodu chlori-
dunn etc Now, bend your ear-thats
common salt But the real reason why
prescriptions are so written is 10 help The
druggist Only one day last week Rus
sian handed me d prescription given to
him by St. Petersburg physician lie
had been i'll this country for some time,
and his medicine had given out. 1t was
almost imperative that he have an I'M
mediate supply, and in broken English he
explained the difficulty and handed me
the prescription. OF course, it was IN
Latin, ana l had no difficulty in filling II.
should all doctors write their prescrp-
lions in their native tongue it would cause
a deal OF trouble, especially when We
take into consideration the host OF for
eign physicians pract!cins in this coun-
try Mind you, that's but one reason,
out it's an important one"
There has been great deal OF talk
about a halt in business, but a statement
made in Bradstreets current issue shows
that the volume as represented by the
bank clearings of the country is still
something immense. There has been
falling off in trade, but Bradstreets says
that following it there has come a period
of apparently steady trade with the vol
ume, although smaller than had been
looked forward TO, still so large'as to at
tract attention in any ordinary year, 1t
adds:
This, at least, is one conclusion to be
drawn from the bank clearings statistics
for June and the first half OF the current
year, because the aggregates indicate a
maintenance of the trade movement at
a fairly steady high level. For the six
months period the total clearings at
eighty cities aggregated S42S57 .2ol, Sl6. a
decrease of 100 per cent. The bank clear
ings for the year 1892 sweled as they
wers by immense speculative activity,
unprecedented industrial share promotion
and generally buoyant business condi
tons, aggregated s93, 4a2. ooo.ooo If the pro
portion for the first half of 1900 is main
tanned during the rest of the year, the
aggregate of ciearings for the calendar
year would seem likely to be in the neigh
borhood of $50, 900, 0Oo. 600. a total $4,000
OoooG0 smaller than year ago, but far in
excess OF any preceding year IN record.
The number of failures for the first six
months Of the year We're only 1850, The
smallest reported in eighteen years.
Barring the political agitation incident
to presidential campaign and the com
plications in Crina, the prospect for con-
tinued prosperity in this country is very
bright.

some beautiful music both vocal and

not many"
John j. says that Jesus attended
strictly to his own business, and did
not meddle in other peoples affairs.
Let US slit this matter and see how
it will stand with the source from
which we lesrn anything about him,
viz: (The Bible):
First. Any person believing in
Christianity and not a member of any
church, stands upon curious ground.
The Apostles met very often for
Christian worship. Now, / take the
Bible for my history of Jesus and
what 1 should do TO please him. Paul
says Hebrew xc 25v. Not forsaking
the assembling of ourselves together,
etc. Now Paul was not an ignorant
man; he was brought up under the
immediate instruction of Gamaliel, a
learned Jew. / learn from the Bible
that Philip was not an ignorant man
at the time of Jesus meeting him; for
his talk to his brother Nathaniel
proves that he was instructed in his
tory.
Those men were companions of Je-
SuSs DhCy ihdy IiOC OC L. Il. - ..
We find that after the death of Je-
sus that Peter, James, John and
others amazed the leading men of the
Jews for their learning. Even the
learned Sanhedun were amazed at
them. Did Jesus require to go to
school to learn to read and write?
Was He ignorant at II years of age
when He disputed the Jewish Theo-
logianS? Do you call it wandering
when travelling from city to city?
Now you may apply that epithet TO
w. J. Bryan. John J. claims one dis
tinctive merit, viz: He believes in
God. The devils believe the same
and they tremble at the sound of that
holy name.
How can theologians claim more for
Jesus than He did himself. He said
81 and the Father are one"
Did He interfere with people when
He overthrow the money tables?
John J.'s account does not agree
with the account given by John, the
evangelist in his gospel and last verse.
"And there are many other things
which Jesus did, the which, if they
should be written everyone, i suppose
that even the world itself could not
contain the books that should be
written"
Now which of the Johns testimony
is the most authoritative. John of 1900,
or John the bosom friend of Jesus
For my part will accept the latter.
Respectfully,

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers aud
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous or organic action of the sys-
TEN, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
or other aches. You only need few
doses of Green's August Flower, in
liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. For sale by Jones & Glib
