Dr.. Brewer. Specialist.

This able physician and scholarly
gentleman, who for years has visited
Viroqus, is in our Judgment the best
physician for the treatment of chronic
diseases that has ever visited this stats
He deals fairly and frankly with all his
patients, never promising relief or a
permanent cure unless he is perfectly
confident that either can be accomplish
ed, and never encouraging the expense
of . trial where there is no prospect of
doing good. Were we the unfortunate
victim of any of the diseases which no
makes q speciality, no matter how
strongly the destroying hand had laid
hold, we should lose no time in consult
ing him feeling confiGent that mis- vast
medical knowledge would be able to in
sure us temporary relief if not perma-
nent cure And our candid advice to
all suffering humanity, within the
circuit of his travels, is to go and do
likewise, that you may not spent when
too late. DIR. Brewer will visit the vi
roqus Hotel in this city. Wednesday,
November 10.

colors of the flag are beautifully told in
Joseph Rodman Drs.ie's poem:
When Freedom from her mountain height.
Dnfuried her standard To the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars OF glory there:
She mingled with It's gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric OF the skies,
And striped Its pure celestial white
With streakings of the morning light"
Before there were any states united
the British flag was used: Then in 1916
Washington used one at Cambridge
made up by the East India Company.
1t had thirteen stripes, seven red and
six white with the cross of st. George
at the upper left hand corner. The one
Washington made was the same only it
had the British Union Jack in the upper
left hand corner, instead of the cross.
In the year 1777 We IN was APP

Betsey Ross, p dress and they
planned out one of thin pes, seven
red and six white, union of
thirteen stars in circ . field of
blue. This flag congress ed. Cloth
was scarce in those days Miss Ross
took what she had on ham. which hap
pened to be soldiers old blue coat and
white shirt, and her own red flannel
petticnat. In the years 1901 and 1892
Vermont and Kentucky were admitted
to the union. Then for each state they
added one star and one stripe. They
kept on with this till they had too many
stripes for a flag, so they went back to
the thirteen stripes and added star for
each new state. The first time the flag
made Nv Betsey Ross was hoisted, was
out in European waters. A little squad
ron of three ships went to Nantes in
France. and after cruising on the bay
awhile sailed twice around Ireland and
came back with fifteen prizes.
Most every school, church and home
has flag. Whenever the coGntry is in
mourning for anyone. the flag is hing at

September 6, by an anarchist in Buffalo.
He once said while in office: With pa

there is no danger OF anarchy and thsre

believe with our martyred president
that no true American boy or girl would

as free and happy as our own.

gentlemanly appearing stranger was

the bus from the depot. He duly
registered as j. H. Wills, Pittsburg, Pa,
and assumed the department of the
ordinary transient guett. When the
time for his departure arrived he pre- =
sented check on a Chicago bank in
payment of his bill, receiving $25 in
Change. A few days late: the paper
was returned as worthless with So IS
charges attached. So, Manager Brock
enbrough is out to the tune Of S28, 58,
and the sleek swindler is luxuriating
in pastures green, which seem to be
abundant, as reports o! similar shady
operations by plausible stranger are
reported from Lynchburg, Danville and

place, we understand, having been
swindled out OF $50 in like trans

A SINGULAR MISFORTUNE.

Last Wednesday about IL o'clock a
horse belonging to Rev. A. P. Boude
was suddenly taken sick in a way that
no one who saw him understood, aud
Ly 5 o'clock in the evening he was
dead. About s o'clock at night another
horse. which at shutdown was frolick-
lug IN the field like COLI, was taken
down tue same way, and by half past
IL at night he was dead. Tue only
other horse he had seemed well at mid
night, but by 8 o'clock next morning
THE one was taken sick like the others,
and fingered until noon on Friday,
when it died. One OF these horses was
old and Of no great value, but the other
two were young aud vigorous and were
worth 500 apiece. In addition to the
horses, the loss of their services is o
serious matter. Mr.. Boude has the
deep sympathy of everybody, and
every thing that could be done by his
neighb ors during the sickness of his
horses was cheerfully done.
1t seems strange that these three
horses should all get sick the same day,
that two OF them should be dead in IL
hours from the time the first signs of
disease appeared, and, despite the best
ve Urinary skill, all three should die in
less than 36 hours.
We are told that man living on
Brushy Hill, near town, lost horse
that was similarly affected, on the same
night that Mr.. Boude's horses were
dying, and that q man at East Lexing-
ton, about the game time, starte to
Stanton With a thrifty young horse
which he expected to sell there, but the
lorss died before he got to stanton,
Taere must be some deadly horse
liselse lurking about US, and farmers
md horse owners would do we'll to take
ome extra precautions in that dn cotton.
