The Best Guaranty of Merit
 Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of Dr. Piercs's world. famed medicines. leaving. the great labo;; ratory at Buffalo, N, Y., has printed upon it's wrapper all the ingredienta entering into It's competition. This fact alone places Dr. Pierce's Family Medi- cines 5Ts q cldss olu bg theInseLUes. They cannot be chased with patent or secret medicines because they are neither. This is why so many unprej judiced physicians prescribe them and recommend them to their patients. They know what they are composed of, and that the ingredients are those endorsed by the most eminent medical authorities.
 The further fact that neither Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the great stomach tonic, liver invigorator, heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his ~Favorite Prescription for weak, over. worked, broken-down nervous women, contains any alcohol, also entities them to a place all by themselves.
 Many years ago, Dr. Pierce discovered that chemically pure glycerine, of proper strength, is a better solvent and preserv- ative of the medicinal principles resid- ing in our indigenous, or native, medi- cinal plants than is alcohol; and, further more, that it possesses Valua ble medicinal properties of it's own, being demulcent, hutritive, antiseptic, and a most efficient
 Neither of the above medicines con- tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit forming drug, as will be seen from a glance at the formula printed on each bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and potent to cure.
 Not only do physicians prescribe the above, non-secret medicines largely, but the most intelligent people employ them people who would not think of using the ordinary patent, or secret medicines. Every ingredient entering into the com position of Dr. Pierce's medicines has tho strongest kind of an endorsement from leading medical writers of the several schools of practice. No other medicines put up for like purposes has any such professto7laI endorsement.
 Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con stipation. Constipation is the cause of many diseases. Cure the cause and you cure the disease. One Pellet" is gentle laxative. and two mild cathartic. Drug Rists sell them, and nothing is "just as good" Easy to take as candy

Brineing Pressure to Bear.


 It seems that the military of this city is about to lose another good and faithful officer in the person of Lieu tenant f. H. Kincey of the Frank Pet tus Light Artillery. Battery "C." Mir. Kincey has made a good officer and has worked night and day for the upbuild- ing of his company and to no one more than him does the credit for the good standing of the company belong. He has contended ever since his election that the city of Selma should furnish a storage room for the heavy guns or the company, and he carried the matter before the Council almost unaided, and has fought for that measure until at last he has obtained 1t. It is believed that the members of the battery will bring every effort to bear to get him to remain. Several of the members have waited on him and have begged him not to send his resignation as an officer of the company. Every member of the battery hopes that Lieutenant Kincey will see his way clear to remain with them.

 Selma, Feb. i9-
 One of the most quiet elections ever held in this city was the primary in the Fourth Ward today The pri- mary was for the purpose Of hlling the vacancy in the City Council caused by the vacancy of Col. R, D. Berry, who for some years has represented that ward in the Council But little interest has, been manifested in the election and few votes were polled by the resi- dents of the ward.
 The Fourth Ward has the smallest vote of any in the city. and there are not over seventy-fve qualified voters in the ward. At the last city election the vote reached in the neighhorhood ef these figures, but all of these voters did not qualify by paying poll tax for the last year.
 The three candidates. l.. D. Mullen, D. D. updegraff and p. s. Gatchell. who announced to i'll the vacancy in the Council from that ward, did not wage an active campaign and all of the vot~ CTS in the ward did not turn out and cast their ballots today.
 The final count after the closing of the polls this afternoon showed the vote the three different candidates re- ceived during the day as follows; Gatcheu 2s. Mullen fl, upoegran 5.
