Virginia Robinson, (colored) in
charge of Sheriff Hurst and Deputy

Mr. .las. H. Fritz butchered on
Tuesday last a porker,13 months old,

A Pit* Baked.—A young pet dog
belonging to Mr. W. W. Johnson
was unknowinglv roasted alive last
we«k by Mrs. Johnson. The dog
had gotten into the moderately
waim oven to take a nap. The
door was afterwards closed and a hot
tire built. Several hours later the
oven was opened and the well cooked
dog discovered.
During the past week our town
presented qul»e a lively and citified
appearance. Alt the stores were
constantly filled with cuslomers.pur
chasing their Xmas supplies. Our
merchants well deserve the pation
age of iheir neighbors for many rea
sons—they keep a large assortment
of goods and sell them low. They
are both obliging and accommoda
ting.
The members of theCitizen's Fire
Company will rattle otf a No. 8 cook
iug stove, -The Farmer Gill,” com
plete with G3 pieces, purchased at
the tin and stove establishment of
Jno. W. Russell, some time during
the holidays, and are now soliciting
chances f»r the same. Invaluable
services were reudered by this Com
pany not loug since in the preserva
tion of propei tv in oar town, and we
trust that their project will meet with
success and their treasury be replen
ished ten limes the pi ice of the stove
thev propose to rattle. Anexcellent
opportunity is now afforded some one
to procure r. good stove for a mere
tritie, ami at the same time assist in
building up and holding together an
organization of which our town
should justlv feel proud.
Interesting to Ladies.—Our lady
readers can hardly fail to have their
attention called this week to the la
test combination of improvements in
that most useful ot all domestic im
plements the “Sewingmachine.” As
we understand it, a machine b r
family use should meet first of all
th?se requirements: It should be
simple in its mechanism; it should
run easily; it should do a wide
range of work; it should be light,
handsome anil durable. 1 hese con
ditions the heeler A ilson, new
No. 9, certainly meets. It is even
acknowledged by its competitors to
be the best machine now in the mar- j
ket. Husbands will have noexcuse j
for not giving his wife a satisfeclory j
Xmas present if he calls on the
Wheeler <fc Wilson Agency, Rink
building.

The Verdict Unanimous.
W. D. Suit, druggist.B;ppus, Inch,
testifies: ”1 can recommend, Elec
tric Bitters as the very best remedy.
Every bottle sold has given relief in
eveiv case. One man took six ln*f
ties, and was cured of rheumatis :i
ot 10 years’ standing.” Abraham
Hare, druggist, liellville, Ohio,
atfirms: “The best selling medicine
I have ever handled iu JO years ex
perience is Electrictric Bitters.”
Thousands of others have added
their testimony, so that the verdict
is unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure all iPseases of the Liver,
Kidneys or Blood. Only a halt dol

The Wayne county Xetcs says:
W. II. Gurley and associates who

view, one up Tug on the West Vir

Martin county,'Ky., to tap the Chat

of these routes is put in competition
with the other, and the one that ex

The case of the Winchester Re
peating Arms Company of New Ha
ven, as s ated by its Secretary to
our correspondent in New Haven, is
a strikingiliustration ofthe effect of
the tariff upon American industries.
This company makes both ammuni
tion and arms. It cannot export
ammunition because it is forced to
puv a duty equivalent to 73 per cent,
upon the lead that enters into this
product. It can and docs export
anus because the value of the mate
rial is relatively so small and work
manship and invention count for so
much tliar foreign com pet i ors arc
battled. The labor employed in
making arms is skilled anil the
wages it recieves are correspondingly
high, vet "cheap” foreign labor is
unable to cope with iis product in
forigu markets. Plainly here is a
case where tic tariff is shown t<» Ik*
unnecessary to secure good wage
Equally tte wages of labor in rna. -
iu<r ammunition would be advanced
by°the abolition of the tariff on le d,
because the market would beextead
ed. production woglu increase, an<»
there would be a greater demand for
labor. At the same time the eon
sumer would be benefited.—A*.

Mr. Thos. L. Roberts, B. <fc O.
agent at this place, and Miss Agnes
Myers of Sharpsburg, Md., were
! married in the Lutheran Church of
the latter place, on Wednesday, De
cember 14th, by Rev. Mr. Jones.
! The ceremony was witnessed by a
multitude of friends. A contribu
tor to the Spirit says:
•‘Promptly at 12:30 the wedding
party arrived and inarched lip the
aisle, preceded by two ushers, while
the beautiful strains of the Wed
ding March were rendered. Rev.
Mr. Jones officiated in his usual
pleasant manner, and Messrs -
i Seibert, C. J. Roberts, J. M. Siiug
ert and 1'. W. Brown acted as ush
ers. After the wedding the bride
and groom received the congratula
tions of their many lriends, drove
to the residence of the bride’s pa
rents to bid them adieu, and left on
the 2:110 p. m., train for a prolonged

The Grand Jurv of the Roane
County Circuit Court adjourned
after a four days’ inquiry into the
murder of Rev. Ryan and the lynch
ing of Duff and Coon. Judge Flem
ing, in his address to the jury, se
vere * criticized the sensational
statwaents made by Detective Bur
nett a id others, through the papers,
that the lynching of Duff and Coon
had been done for political purpos
es, and that the lynching party had
been composed altogether of demo
cracts, while the victims had all
been Republicans. The Judge, wlo
is himself a Republican, said the
statements were false and malicious,
and were an insult to the dignity
and integrity of the people of Roane
County. The juiy indicted Perry
Drake and Dan. Cunningham for
the murder of Rev. Ryan, but found
no indictments against the alleged
lynchers. The attorneys who were
present said they waited four days
for Burnett and his alleged testiuio
| uv against responsible citizens, but
neither Burnett nor Cunningham
presented themselves or their charg
es.

At a meeting of the State execu
1 tive committee of the prohibition
! part)' of West Virginia, just held in
I Grafton, it was decided to enter the
* campaign in this State next year
with a full ticket in the field. This
action was unanimous. A repre
j seutative will be sent to the uation
! al convention, and nominations will
be made for State, congressional,
legislative and local officers. Steps
are to be taken at once to perfect
; the organization of the party
throughout the State.
The Monroe Watchman says:—
Could anything be more supreme
ly foolish than the action of this
committee of the so called Prohibi
tion party V Instead of leaving the
prohibition question to be settled
• upon its merits by the people of the
i State irrespective of party, they se
riously endanger the very cause
j they profess to champion by rush
j ing into the political arena with a
party organized to capture the otli
1 ces, without the slightest hope of so
! doing. In this movement the hand
of the ambitions or revengeful dera
agogue may plainly be seen. The
I real i ends of Prohibition would do
j well to throttle this demonstration
j at the outset.

Rev. R. M. Pickens, President of the
Methodist Protestant Church of South
Carolina, writes from Greenville:
“ About four years ago I was attacked
with what the physicians pronounced (
neuralgic rheumatism, accompanied with i
erysipelas. My appetite failed me entirely,
and I had an intermitting pulse and very
irregular pulsations of the heart. A ter
rible pain soon came into my chest and
shoulders, and I bees me so helpless that I
could attend to no business at all. The
pains were movable, and would sometimes
pass from one part of my body to another.
Finally the erysipelas broke out on my left
hand and arm, and produced much swell
ing. I was for eighteen months afflicted
in this way. and of course used a great
many kinds of medicines, but nothing gave
me relief. Friends finally persuaded me
to try Swift's Specific I noticed a decided
improvement while taking the first bottle.
1 continued its use until 1 had taken about
one dozen bottles, when I found myself
sound and well again, with no sign of dis
ease left except a stiffness in my hand, a
result of the erysipelas. While taking
the medicine I gained on an avtrage two
pounds of flesh per week. I think S. S S.
a valuable medicine, and I frequently
recommend it to my friends."
