Our former townsman Mr.. P. H,
Hughes has kindly favored us with a
copy of the Savannah (Ga) News of Ian.
uary IS, in which appears lengthy and
very strong complimentary notice of the
lecture of Hon. Geo. R. Vending on
The Imperial Book" delivered in that
city. Concluding its notice of the lee
ture the News says:
" 1t was burst of eloquent power that
has seldom been equalled. 1t held the
attention of the audience entllralled and
thrilled each and every listener with its
beauty and strength. The final picture
o. the ruin that would result should the
Bible be taken away stirred the most
sluggish and the orator swayed the aud
fence at his will. To attempt to repro
duce the lecture. even in part. would end
in failure. The highly polished lam
gaage, the modulated. perfectly con-
trolled voice. the bursts of eloquent pow
er that thrilled the audience and carried
it with the speaker wheresoever he
wished, is orly TO Mr.. Vending himself. j"

That was very genteel skinning the
State administration received at the hands
of Mr.. Wetzel, of Jefferson, yesterday,
when the bill to dismiss the suits against
the corporations was being considered,
He denounced the law under which the
suits were entered as designed to enable
the administration to hold up the corpor-
atoms for campaign purposes. and refer
red in most sarcastic manner to the fact
that now, when the election is over, the
administration is willing to have the law
repealed. The gentleman from Jefferson
was at his best when he went after the
machine scalp, and when that is the case
there is no man in the State who is his
superior at the skinning me.-Charles
ton Gazette, Tuesday.

intendent of the Valley Division. has
been promoted from general superinten-
dent at Baltimore to general manager OF

years. all of that period with the Balti-
more & Ohio. and has been one of the
most popular and efficient officials of that

Rev. DR.. James r. Graham, pastor
emeritus of the Presbyterian Church in
Winchester. has written book entitled
The Planting of the Presbyterian
Church in Northern Virginia. Prior to
the Organization OF Winchester Presby-
terry, December 1, 1894" The book is on
ssle for rs cents per copy. In dedicating
the book DR.. Graham says: ITO the
members of Winchester Presbytery, in
harmonious fellowship with whom my
entire ministry has been spent, and whose
urvarying kindness has cheered the la
bors and sweetened the trials of pastor
ate extending over period of more than
half a centuary--this volume is dedicat-
ed" In his preface DIR. Graham says
that its publication has been insistently
urged by judicious friends. who have
some knowledge of its character. It is,
moreover, his own conviction that such
facts of our Presbyterial history as he has
here tried TO rescue from oblivion. should
be put in a form most likely to secure
their preservation. Though others have
explored the field in which he has labored
and have made most valuable contribu-
tions to the early history of our church.
he is persuaded that some particulars are
here given that will be new to most of
his readers. and that will have a special
interest for the people of the Northern
Neck.

There ls more Catarrh in this sec ion of the

and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years doctors

cure with local treatment, pronounced it in

Emulsion a S hort time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the, public,
but the above remark and
SINH ar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm

ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing

SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
