NATURES CATARRH CURE.
Sensible and Scientific Way to Cure
This DiSagreeable Disease.

In no other way can catarrh be
cured as naturally and quickly as by
the use of Hyomei breathed through
the neat pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit.
In this way all the air that enters
the nasal passages, the throat or the
lungs, is filled with Hyomei's healing
medication, reaching the most remote
air cells of the respiratory organs,
and soothing and healing the irritated
mucous membrane.
So strong is our faith in the power
of Hyomei to cure catarrhal troubles,
that with every dollar outfit We sell,
we give a guarantee to refund the
money unless it cures.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $l.00, extra bottles, if needed,

Taliaferro, is a genial Virginia gentle.
man-sn old Confederate who spent
considerable time with Lee and jack
son in this VALLEY forty-odl years ago
He has been dealing most courteous
ly and literally with our people, aud
the spirit of fairness that he manifests
has been appreciated by those who
have had business relations with him.
He has adjusted damages with John

ner. Henry Reynolds, n. G. Marten,
Wilson Dunmore, Mrs. Josephine
Craven, and perhaps others The
Reformed and Lutheran churches
have not yet concluded negotiations
All of the above named who have had
their claims settled are satisfied with
the amounts awarded them and feel
that Major TaIiaferro has treated them
right. Only a few cases remain to be
adjusted and these have not been set
tied because of inability to see all the
parties interested or for other good
reasons. The intention Of Major
Taliaferro to deal jnstly with the peo-
pie has caused them on their part to
be reasonable in their demands, aud
little friction has occurred The Ma
jor is assisted in his work by Mr..
Bruner and Mr.. Dow, ofthe engineer

To the Public.

Rumors having been circulated
which unexplained might injure the
National Citizens Bank of Charles
Town, we desire to state that the Ma
tional Citizens Bank was never in a
stronger position since it's organiza-
ton than it is today. And after a
prosperous year, it has just added two
thousand dollars to it's surplus fund.-.
A deed of trust was recently given
to the Bank by perfectly solvent
party, to secure all his loans and en-
dorsements at the Bank, which seems
to have been the basis of the false xu-
mors. The lien really protects and
strengthens the Bank, although the
loans were secured prior to the exc
cution of the deed of trust. The said
Bank since it received the deed OF
trust has pot been injured by it, but
on the other hand is in q stronger po-
sition than it was before. Those
loans are now protected by good JEFF
ferson county real estate security.
The funds are all right.
Respectfully.

THE SPEAKERS MACE.
Origin of the Emblem of Authority
Used In Congress.

NJ the right Of the speakers desk
in the hail of the house Of represent
atives in the capitol al Washington
stands a large cylindrical pedestal
made of highly polished green marble.
When the house is called to order
each day, the sergeant at arlnS or n
of his deputies places upon the pedes-
tai the mace, which is the symbol of
authority in he house. When the body
adjOurns he removes it and keeps it in
safety until the house meets again.
This mace is Of very ancient and
honorable origin. Under the old RO-
man republic the magistrates passed
On foo from one place to another adj
ministering justice, trying public Of
Tenders and imposing penalties.
Each of these magistrates was at
tended by a small body Of men known
as l~ictors, whose duty 1t was to make
way for the officers Of the law, pre-
serve order. make arrests and intiict
punishment on condemned citizens.
Each Of these lictOrs carried with
him a bunch of rods tied together
with thongs and having an AK bound
to the outside of it. The thongs were
used for scourging and the AK for
beheading. Sentences imposed by the
magistrates were at once carried out.
Those bundles of rods We're known rs
fasces. When the romans conquered
Britain the use Of the faSces as a sym
Dol was brought with them, and many
other Roman customs remained with
the British people.
While it was no longer used for In
f1icting punishment, it continued to be
used as a symbol by the early English
magistrates. and when an officer ap-
peared carrying the faSceS his au-
thority was immediately accepted by
all. It was. in effect. his badge Of
office.
The English form Of the faSceS vas
slightly changed in that the Az was
placed inside of the bundle of rods.
with the blade protruding from the
t0H.
The great councils of the early
Saycns gradually developed into n
general body. which in the fourteenth
century became Known as the house
Of commons. In all these earlier coun-
ellis the use Of the faSces was con
tinued, but It then came to he known
as the mace. which has remained as
the emblem of Legislative authority In
that body down to the present day.
The house of representatives of the
United States was modelled closely
after the house of commons by the
trainers of our constitution. and the
usage of the mace was borrowed from
the English custom.
The first mace adopted by the house
was destroyed by fire when the Brit
ish burned the capitol in 1914. From
1914 until 1912 a mace of painted wood
did service, but in the latter year the
present mace was made after the model
of the original one.-Cleyeland Plain
Dealer.
