Sciatica Cured After Twenty Years Of
Torture.

For more than twenty years Mr., j.
B. Massey, of 1922 Clinton ST., Mime
apolis, Mimi, was tortured by sciatica.
The pain and suffering which he endur
ed during this time is beyond compre-
hension. Nothing gave him any perma.
nent relief until he used Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. One application of that
liniment relieved the pain and made
sleep and rest possible and less than
one bottle has effected a permanent
cure. If troubled with sciatica or rheu-
matism why not try scent bottle of
Pain Balm and see for yourself how
quickly it relieves the pain. For sale

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES.

Capt. r. w. Wiley, of Irvington, is
on the Potomac this week after load of
oysters.
Maryland's new Shell Fish Commits
sion has settled down aboard the spec
tally prepared house-boat and are ac-
lively at work laying off the natural
rocks of the State.
Commander Thomas c. b. Howard,
of the Maryland fishery force, after
cruising the waters of Chesapeake bay,
states that the oystermen report plenty
of oysters for the coming winter but
that most of the bivalves are small.
The oyster season on the Potomac
opened up slowly on Saturday, the LIST.
There We're plenty of oyster boats there
but two Virginia police steamers are
also on the river, and it is safe to say
there will be no wholesale ''roughing''
or "shovelling by" this season.
Captain Anderton, of the State
schooner Pocomoke, is in port with two
captured Maryland Grabbing boats. He
arrested the owners, Charles w. Brad
shaw and Geo. w. Smith, on Friday last,
at work in Virginia waters. They were
bonded for appearance at court. Oman

The menhaden fishing season is almost
failure. No fish are being caught.
and the feet is patrolling the coast
without success. The Fisheries Com
pany, the largest organization on the
Atlantic coast engaged in the industry,
has kept shifting its boats from the
East and South all season without
avail.
Fifteen oyster PUNCHES reached Pratt
street wharves, Baltimore, Wednesday
morning, bringing total of $500
bushels of oysters. The price, which
had been soaring because of the few
arrivals, took tumble. and the same
quality of oysters that the day before
brought 80 cents and 81 could be had
Wednesday at from 55 to rs cents.
There is but little demand as vet for
| oysters, and with the weather predic-
ton of warmer the dealers were afraid
to take chance. Most of the oysters
| came from West river and Swami
point, in the Potomac.
The oyster laws of Virginia were
never near perfection, and the new
Board of Fisheries named by Governor
Swanson has introduced many reforms
which are proving highly beneficial The
industry has come to be a revenue getter
for the State, and is bringing ever in
creasing funds into the treasury each
year. At the State Auditor office yester-
day it was learned that there had been
steady increase from the (oyster) in
dustry in the past few years, and that
the outlook for the season of 1867 is
brighter than any in the past. In the
James river, the situation was never
better. Police boats have kept a close
watch on the pirates during the summer,
and the State authorities believe that
there have been no depredatons on the
James oamount to anything. Virginia
seems to be getting along all right with
her end now, while Maryland is ''kick-
ing" about depleted rocks. the lack OF
revenue and widespread depredations.

THE AUGUST WEATHER.

Up to August 81, it had been raining
nearly every day for nine weeks, and
never before have people in Eastern
Virginia witnessed such a long wet
season. The rain was pretty general,
but Tidewater virginia's record seems
to lead all. Twenty eight days Of rainy
and cloudy weather in July, andbut two
fair days in August. Forty days and
forty nights without let-up.
The damage to owners of summer
resorts, trucks, oysters and in fact all
summer Tidewater industries, runs into
the millions of dollars.

SOME BOAT NOTES.

j. F. Green, of LAGRANGE creek, had
a gasoline engine installed in his boat,
'LaGrange," at Irvington this week.
Steamer Potomac was several hours
late making the trip from Tappahan-
mock to Baltimore Tuesday, caused by
blowing hole in her boiler while COM
ing up the bay from Norfolk Monday
night. Several wharves were omitted
on way down river.
The u. S. coast and geodetic survey
steamer photographer will soon begin
work at the mouth of the Potomac
river, to make an accurate description
of the shore. with all prominent marks,
the courses to be sailed in coming w
and going down, the depth of water and
all information of value. This informa-
ton will be issued in a new volume.
A race from Boston to the Virginia
capes between three of the big white
schooners of the famous Palmer fleet
ended at 1880 Tuesday morning with
the phenomenal sight of three coming
in neck and neck. They were the Paul,
Prescott and Baker Palmer, and they
probably came down in railroad time
before the northerly gale, which blew
at the rate of twenty-six miles an hour
and kept up almost at that notch until
after the multiple stickers with their
acres of canvas aloft came into Chesa-
peake Bay. The mere fact that three
vessels of this fleet should come in
simultaneous is without precedent, but
their coming in from the same port and
finishing in a dead heat is regarded as
one of those things which will hardly
ever again occur.

REUNITING THE PARTY.
Richmond Evening journal

The newspapers throughout the
country are filled with the great re-
ception accorded Mr.. Bryan in New
York, and the bearing it has on the
future.
There seems to be little difference
OF opinion as to the fact that the
Great Commoner" has returned. the
easy leader of his party. He prompt
ly rendered one great service to Demo-
cracy when he disposed of the one
question that has split the party in
twain for ten years.
In definitely dropping the silver is
sue, he reunited his party, thus per-
forming the first and primary duty of
a great leader, and Democratic papers
throughout the land, of all shades of
opinion. acclaim him for this service.
He pointed unerringly to the high
protective tariff as the source of the
trusts, or monopoly evil, and thus put
his finger on the cardinal issue of the
next campaign. In this, too, he will
meet with enthusiastic support from
the great bulk Of Democratic voters.
In coming out boldly and declaring
his personal belief in the doctrine of
government ownership of the trunk
line railways, without reference to
what may be the popular view of the
subject, he gives another striking il
lustration of that holiness and hon.
esty OF purpose which not even his
enemies have denied him, and which is
the true secret of his hold upon the
respect and affection of his countrymen.
He disclaims any purpose to bind, or to
speak for his party in this. He simply
proclaimed his own personal views.
However much there may be indi-
vidual differences of opinion in mat
tiers of detail, the great fundamental
principals of the party to which he
proclaimed his unfaltering adherence
are being echoed with applause through
out the land.

Chiffon led to the altar Miss Mary
Grace Flowers, one of Lancaster's most

gracefully festooned and latticed about
the altar, and extending successfully
from one column to the other, down the
the aisles. Clustered about the altar

Charlie Payne, proceeded up the RICH,
aisle to the altar, where Rev. G. Y.

ushers. Mrs. Marian Chase gracefully
presided at the organ, while Mrs.

being caught up by a cluster of lilies
of the valley. The groom, groomsmer
and ushers wore black suits, with white
vests and gloves. Immediately after
the ceremony, the bridal party repaire {

tuous supper awaited them, and from
there the bride and groom took the
Baltimore steamer for trip north.

Frances Simmonds Gibbs and the late
William Henry Flowers, and a grand
daughter of the late DR.. j. B. Simmonds
of Lancaster, c. H., while the groom is
the SON of Mr.. Willie Chiffon, and is a
prosperous young business man of
Palmers. The bride was the recipient
of many useful and handsome presents.
All extend to Mr.. and Mrs. Chiffon

wishes for long life full of happiness
and prosperity.

AS usual, the Republicans swept Yer
mont in the elections Tuesday.
The election of Ansel and Lyon last
week in South Carolina means defeat
for the state dispensary and was blow
to Senator Tillman. Tillman had no
opposition, but was largely scratched.
Governor Swanson is reported as
follows: 81 shall go to the Fifth dis
trict and make some speeches for my
friend, Judge Saunders. But Saunders
is not in the least danger. He will win
in walk. The Fifth district has had a
taste of Republican congressman, and
one taste is enough for the coming fifty
years. i expect also to get into the
fight in the Ninth district, where nv
friend, Bob Bruce, is opposing Colonel
Slemp. Looks to me as though Bruce
ought to wins for he has good organ
ization, his friends are enthusiastic. the
people are tired of Slemp-and then
there Is no reason on earth why a Re-
publican should go to congress from
Virginia.
