Tendency of the Times.

The tend ency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It has been fully demonstrated that pneu- monia, one of tbe most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re- suits from cold or from aD at tack of influenza or (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of the disease toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which thIs remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit conf, denee. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is sudden ly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest. then it is an nounced that the patient has pneu- monia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Reme dy as soon as the cold is contract ed. 1t always cures. For sale by Brown, McQuiston t Co.

Notice.

Ash "Wednesday is the begin ming of the blessed season of Lent in which thechurch bids us to make use of the means of grace so freely offered to us during these forty days, which should be forty step ping stones to heaven, in follow ing the footsteps of the Son of God, who loved Us and gave him self for us.
 The special call of this season Is to repentance and prayer, and while every day Is a call to re- pentance and holy living, the weeks proceeding the great festi- val of the resurrection, Easter Day are set apart by the church for un- usual acts of devotion and love for her Divine Founder.
 No man liveth to himself" All should earnestly desire the spread of faith once delivered" and the sex- tension of Christ's kingdom among men.
 Every sincere follower of Christ is priest of God to sinful world. The saving of immortal souls is the greatest work in life, and the living of a christian one of the greatest influences for good.
 The Rector will be very glad to confer on the subjects of Confr- nation, or any other spiritual sub jeet, with any who desire his counsel, or he will appoint an in- terview for the purpose at the con venience of the solicitor.

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do pot gripe nor weaken the system. They cure biliousness, iaundice, constipation and inactive flyers, by arousing the secretions, nov ing the bowels gently, yet effect ually, and giving such tone and strength to the glands ot the stomach, liver and bowels that the cause of the trouble is removed entirely. These famous little pills exert decided tonic effect upon the organs inv olved, and if their use is continued for a few days there will be no return of the trouble.

Gov. Davis Writes a letter to the Ways and Means Commit tee, disclaiming any intention of refeeting upon the integrity of any member of the peniten- tiary board, in his message to the General Assembly. If the Governor had only worded his message in language to show that he did not intend to reflect upon the honor of the other members of the penitentiary board, a great deal of trouble could have been saved. While we are not disposed to doubt what Gov. Davis says in his let ter to the, Ways and Means Com mIttee, nevertheless the language ofhis message seemed to indicate that there was something wrong somewhere. The investigation will likely make public officers little more discreet in their of ficial documents hereafter.
