An eminent physician says thai
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth. 10 a
male physician, but this is only IN re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician
This is especially the case with un-
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
SO that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form OF trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham. Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.

The Russian Retreat.

The Japanese occupied Tie Pass
March Is and the Russians began a
retreat northward, which is still in
progress, after setting fire to the rail-
road stations and supplies An i'm
perial order from St. Petersburg ap-
points Gen. Linevitch to succeed Gen,
kuropatkin as commandment in chief of
all the Russian forces 1t contains
not a single word of praise for Kuro-
patkin, who is dismissed and dis
graced. The emperor decided that
the step was necessary when it be-
came apparent that Kuropatkin,
while concentrating for a stand at
Tie Pass, seemed unaware that the
Japanese had worked around west
ward again and practically allowed
himself to be surprised. The task
confided to Lineviteh is desperate.
Preparations for continuing the
war on larger scale than ever are
proceeding. Another army of 10000
men Is to be sent to the Far East
composed of separate divisions under
Grodekoff, Gripenberg and Kamaroff.
The war council is said to have de-
cided that Rojestvensky shall proceed
with his fleet and meet Togo's fleet.
Gen. kuropatkin, sinking all feeling
OF personal bitterness, has volunteered |
to remain in any capacity with the |
army which he had so long command |
I'd. The tender has been accepted by |
Emperor Nicholas and gratefully re-
,elved by the new leader of the army.
Auropatkin started southwark from
darbin March 20, amidst a most re
narkable farewell from residents of
1arbin and soldiers who are on the
way to fill out the ranks of the de-
,leted army.

county recently searched several
places in Northfield for liquor The
party divided into squads of about
four EACH going on both sides of the
town. resulting in finding about ten
quarts of whiskey at the home Of an
Italian named Demarco. Witnesses
were procured to prove that they had
bought liquor at different places and
way bills to show that different kinds
of liquor had been bought the last
week. Demarco, who is supposed to
have been doing a large business, left
the house as officers entered and has
not been found. The officers went
into different parts Of the town with
teams but think now that many places
had been notified of their approach in
time to dispose of goods. No arrests
were made.

The question of dividing the Vir-
ginia Conference is being discussed in
the columns of the Methodist papers
and Rev. J. H. Amiss, pastor for sew
eral years of churches in this county,
is one of the leaders in the move
ment. In a recent article he gives as
his reason for division the follow
ing: "That the conference, from ex-
IRENE ends of the State, covers near
ly 500 miles; that the pay given the
preachers in some of the charges is
too small to enable them to travel
from one section to the other; that
the conference is too large and I'M
wieldy to properly consider the bust
ness which comes before it; that it is
larger than a great majority of con-
ferences, and that by dividing, an OPP
portunity would be afforded for allow
ing annual sessions to be held in
other than the larger cities OF the
State"

The Democrats of the State VINO
participated in the late primary, ac-
cording to the Republican code OF
morals, are not bound by it but will
vote as they please in the regular
election. In other words no pledge is
too solemn or too binding to be broken,
as the Republican sees it, who wants
their votes. AS in the past, in the
language of a former leader Of their
party "honor that wont buy break
fast'' is to be disregarded. 1t is bet
ter to be close in their opinion to the
flesh pots which they have to offer, If
honor is to be bartered away for them
All true Democrats, of course, will
spurn with contempt the infamy OF
such a suggestion and vote in the
next election not only as they have
pledged themselves, but because it is
for the best interest of their State and
all they hold sacred in their homes
for them to do so.

Judge Lunsford L. Lewis, who is ad-
vertised to speak in Accomac during
October. is the same man who was
unwilling in 1876 for the people OF VIZ
ginia to control their own affairs and
who asked President Grant to seno
troops to Petersburg, Va, to superln-
tend the election in that city and also
declares that he is proud of it. The
troops were sent, as the records SHOW
upon the following affidavit of Judge
Lewis. then United States District
Attorney, now Republican nominee
for Governor.

doubt"
He says he is proud of the record
thus made by him, but we mistake
the temper of the voters of Accomac
if they are willing to endorse it by
casting their votes for him. If he
had so little regard for the rights OF
the people at that time can we say
that he would have more as the exec
utive of the State? if he is not Will
ling to trust the people can he expect
them to show their confidence in him
by giving him their support? They
will answer at the polls and in way,
doubtless, that will convince him
that Democrats cannot endorse aman
who, as shown by his record, is so
willing to humiliate and Cypress them.
