sprlns and summer catarrh.

There is form of catarrh especially
prevalent in spring and summer, called
by DIR. Hartman systemic catarrh.
This form of catarrh especially de-
ranges the stomach, bowels and other
organs of the abdomen. The whole
mucous tract lining the stomach, liver,
bowels and kidneys is in an inflamed
condition, and these organs fail to per-
form their proper function.
Systemic catarrh may be or may not
be accompanied by catarrh in other
parts of the body. In some cases there
is hacking cough. 1t may be also as
ISOLATED with catarrh in the head.
But, in typical cases OF systemic ca
tarrh all the organs of the abdomen are
in weakened and sluggish condition

Sometimes it is called dyspepsia, al

SOME BOAT NOTES.

The steamer Tourist" Of the Leroy
Steamboat Line, was burned Tuesday
at one o'clock in the Alternate Sound
while en- route from Elizabeth City to
Columbia, N. G.. The Tourist was on
the Rappahannock few years back.
The numerous robberies along the
water front at Norfolk, frequently ac-
companying the stupefaction of sleep
ers aboard the craft through the use of
chloroform, have so alarmed bargenlen
that they are keeping watch at night.
The Maryland, Delaware and Virgin
ia Railway Company has issued an ar
tistic booklet, beautifully designed in
colors. illustrated and descriptive of
the various lines of travel controlled by
that company. Conspicuous among
which, are the Rappahannock line OF
steamers and the line plying on the
Potomac river.

him for his offensive language and
gratuitous insults. The man did not
resent the slap. Mr. Pearson was a

The Immortal Six Hundred held it's
annual meeting Saturday. This organ
ization consists of the survivors of six
hundred Confederate officers who were
prisoners and for retaliation were ex-
posed to the fire of the Southern guns
at Morris Island for forty-two days,
and then endured great hardships on a
prison ship for sixty-five days. There
were present only about twenty-five

| Several venerable cotton-headed ne.
groes were in the line of march with
their former masters. They elected
much applause, for it was known that
they too had served in the days that

US, AND OTHERS.

Rockingham county, Va, possibly
with a single exception the finest and
best of of all our counties not en-
bracing city, is justly Growing over
the condition of her finances. She
finds that a county levy of seven
cents will be sufficient for all neces
sary expenses the coming year Just
think of il, ye Tidewster counties
counties where fish, oysters, truck
and great business enterprises abound
and where labor is more than twice
as high as in the Shenandoah Valley!
Rockingham and her sister counties
depend practically upon farming,
stock-raising and timber getting.
Time was when every other farm in
that big county was mortgsged;
fences were of worm, and shackly;
what buildings were left by the ruth
less Sheridan were in decay for want
of paint, and tumbling down. Today
she looks as though great Ian dscape
gardener, with Tatanic hands, had
remoulded her rolling acres, marked
her divisions with modern fences and
embellished even the sheep cote.
What has wrought this transforma-
ton is conspiracy of things. Pluck,
perseverance and patriotism on the
part of the people; fair assessment,
fertilizer and fertility, as applied to
the land. Her people have learned
to be industrious-not idling-and
they have pulled together for the
common veal. Farm lands are as
sessed at $40 per acre, and the State,
as we'll as the county, gets homes;
tax returns. They do not "crop"
one field this year, and another the
next while the first rests in a vain
hope that it may recuperste, but they
crop them all and give back to nature
from commercial stores something
that has been drawn from it. Tc
some of our farmers it is like pulling
eye-teeth to pillow in a clover sod
Up there grass turned in brings
many fold its value in subsequen,
crops. 1t is no excuse in com parison
to say that her soil is naturally rich.
This is true, but it was once depleted
and man has assisted nature in re.
covering what was once lost.
Our people may learn lessons from
our mountain brothers, not the least
being that county affairs should
be conducted by business men and
men who have the peoples interest
at heart. Rockingham has not been
free of political strife; in fact, few
counties have known more bitter
feuds. But through it all in later
years good men have been at the head
of affairs, the people long since find
ing that it is poor policy to "bite of
your nose to spite your face"

A HIGH official of the United Sons
of Confederate Veterans suggests
that the organization be made fra.
ternal relief one, and that insurance
be paid members. We, for one, pro-
test. Let it be "fraternap', of course;
let it subscribe TO INDECENT veterans
and homeless matrons, but it is not
such body of invalids itself, or alto
gether in dire need, individually or
collectively. There are no grounds
for such move, and should wisdom
fall short and it resolve into bene-
fetal organization its days will be as
a tale that is told. 1t was founded
upon sentiment, it is propagated by
love. Become mercenary and grasp

vanish.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT says that
