BLOOD WILL TELL.

II takes lots of vitality, nervous force and
strength to win a race. Blood must be
pure and good.
Without good red blood a man has a
weak heart and poor nerves. ThinnoSs of
the blood, or anemia, is common ia men
and young women, and all those who work
indoors, who do not get enough good ok
ygen in their lungs, consequently have too
many white blood corpuscles.
Keep the nerves nourished, the heart
strong, the head cool, the stomach vigorous,
the liver active with a tonic which has
stood the test of time and has a wide repu-
taeon, such as DR.. PieTces Golden Medical
Discovery.
TONES consisting of large portions of
alcohol, iron OF cod liver oil, do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the cxcep-
ton of the alcohol, which shrivcls up the
red blood corpuscles when II does come in
contact with them. Therefore do not allow
the dealer TO insult your intelligence by
telling you he has something better than
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

CONTRADICTORY VIEWS.

An address delivered, a short time
ago. 10y an enthusiastic representative
Of a prominent Mission Board said, in
substance that Chma's doors are open
wide for the entrance of the mission
airy, whose coming will be welcomed
that China feels the need of new
and different civilization TO her own.
and her cry is give us the light" The
leading papers contain graphic des-
criptions and accounts ofthe uprising in
China against the missionaries and
foreigners who are bearers OF the
light" said to be needed. and a Secre-
tary of foreign Board of a prominent
denomination in the South has cabled
the missionaries in China, under his
management, to flee for protection to
certain cities where American gun
boats and American authority can give
the necessary protection. How is this d?
These statements and conditions are
contradictory. The truth is, China does
not want "the lighl.' If there is any
thing in the world she does not want
and is determined not TO have it is a
foreign religion, or anything foreign"
as to that. China's needs are not
Chinas wants, and nothing good is
accomplished by holding up an mag
mary Macedonian" or sending across
the seas the hollow echo of an mag
mary Macedonian cry"
The surest and perhaps the quickest
way to christainze and civilize China.
If it is our business at all, is TO use
rapid fire guns, of from six to sixteen
inch caliber.

a little too strong. 1t costs cash to set

thing sent out was set up and printed
as requested the expense would fall
heavy on the papers Let the manage

should suffice. In these "fcw feeble

Pat $ Baby.

Pat O'Toole had just arrived from
Ireland and was beating about New
York when he fell i'm a faint i'm the
streets. He was picked up, placed i'm
an ambulance and carried 10 an emer-
gency hospital. Expert physicians ex-
amined the senseless Hibem an an d
found that he was suffering from an
acute attack OF appendicitis. The knife
was used and the vermifOrm append
removed. Pat began straightway to
improve, but it was several days be-
fore he was conscious of anything. So
soon as his mind cleared he asked the
attending doctor about his trouble.
Eve have delivered you OF your APP
pendiX, Pat" declared the doctor.

The mascot of the hospital is n large
monkey, with fine old Irish face.
The monkey goes from room TO room
and visits the patients and one of his
favorite tricks is making faces at the
convalescents. 1t came Pats time to
receive a call. The doctor had just left
the room after having a talk with Pat
about the taking of his appendix. The
lrishman's curiosity had been thor
oughly aroused and soon made him
turn and rubber TO see if he could see
the appendix. I'm the meantime the
monkey had slipped i'm and taken n
seat in the window, where fine doctor
had said Pats appendix was. The
monkey made all sorts of faces at
Pat and squealed gently at him. Pat
smiled and said: Don't do that son:

mother is very sick man. FIX.

INCREASE OF COAL TAXES

The coal companies entered protest,
of course, against the increase OF
taxes on their property, in Judge
HensOn's court here, last week. The
assessment was increased on nearly
all the lands involved, about one hun
dred per cent over the Commissioners
assessments recently made. This in
creased assessment will bring some
thing like eight thousand dollars adj
ditiOnal tax money, half OF which goes
into the State treasury, the other half
into the county. 1t seems to be diff
cult to get an equitable and reason
able method for adjusting the coal
land tax that will be acceptable TO all
parties concerned. One thing is clear
Tazewell county has had sent from her
borders hundreds OF thousands of tons
of coal for which she has gotten compar-
atively very small revenue. Within "A
few years at most, the coal will be
gone. The revenue from these great

As one wise man puts it, we have
about given them the coal if they
would move it away. At the same
time the citizens of the county have
bought their own coal at the highest
market price when they could get it at
