A Democratic House .
Times -Dispatch.)

The New York Herald, carefully and
dispassionately reviewing tho political
situation In the country, concludes that
however the presidential election may
result. the chanes favor Democratic
majority In the next house of rcprcscn-
tatives. Tins would be a blessing well
worth striving for and u result over
which the country would have ample
reason To rejoice. a Democratic house
OF representatives would he "A check ON
the president and the senate. We may
assume that H. would be curb bit ON
the Rough Rider and would STORMY
bring him 60 a halt In his overbcarinp
assaults the body representing tho
people. 1t would restrlln his eccentri.
cities and prevent his antics from
working serious harm To the country
IL guided by wisdom and courage IL
could do much more. IL could formu-
late measures and express policies
which would command the approval OF
the country and make the position of
the Democratic party impregnable for
years to come.
The voters In the Ninth Virginia dis
trict, the only one In Virginia seriously
contested. should take serious note OF
this situation. However they may feel
about the presidential contest, il Is GER
tain that we have abundant reason for
hoping that the Democrats will control
the next house OF representatives; but
We need every possible member. The
margin may be very narrow. Not only
every Democrat, but every Virginian
who believes in maintaining the princi-
pies OF our government, in standing by
the constitution, in asserting the rights
and liberty of the people, should vote
for Wysor and give his influence, time
and vote for beating Colonel Slemp. A
vote for n Republican candidate this
year for congress Is u vote TO sustain.
encourage and stimulate the arrogance,
insolence and impudence OF the presi-
dent. A vote for a Democratic nomi-
nee for the house OF representatives Is
a vote to rebuke and restrain all these.

give you few notes from them.
In this, Gentry, county but small
acreage OF wheat is sowed and the
crop is only medium this year. Their
main crops are corn and hay. Owing
to the late spring and we. season tho
corn crop is not flrst-class and corn
will be high this fall. Hay was a fair
crop and is quoted high In market
The farmers here make rather a leisure
month OF August and many look for.

is taken up largely with picnic, and re-
unions, which always draw laro.
crowds-even into the thousands ir
places.
1t has been the writer's privilege =,
attend number of these, and. O
course, enjoyed them very much.

A CIVIL WAR CAPTAIN

 eUntil about two years ago I had had piles for about thirty years, at times bleeding and very painful. got a fifty cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure at the drug store, and used it and was entire iv cured Got another box in case l needed it, and as the piles did not re- turn in six months I gave the remedy to a friend of mine who wanted the doctor to operate to cure him. My friend said he would use the .pyra- mids." but he knew they would do him no good, but they cured him of piles of twenty-five years standing. I am free of piles to-day, and have been since using Pyramid Pile Cure. was cap tain in the Civil War; James Adams, Soldiers Home, Cal.
 The majority of people labor under the impression that an operation is ne- cessary in severe cases of piles, or hem- orrhoids and are very skeptical regard ing the remedial virtues of any medi- cirlal compound. Testimony like the above should certainly have a tendency to dispel this impression, although it is odd such fallacy should prevail and still more odd that soaTnany people should think an operation effects per- raanent cure, whereas the contrary is more often the case
 We advise sufferers from this pain- full complaint to buy a fifty cent pack age of Pyramid Pile Cure at any drug store and try 1t tonight.
 Those interested cannot be too strong ly urged to write Pyramid Drug Go. Marshall, Mich, for their little book de. seribing the causes and cure of, Piles as it contains valuable information, anc IS sent free for the asking.
