tea SPENCER AND PERUNA. Query as to Whether Republican States man Prefers Parana to Corn Juice. If by any chance sundry copies of New York newspapers should float into the mountain district "where two distinguished gentle men are seeking election to Con cress, the eroose of Soencer Black- 1 f ' J1J 1 1 T J A. 'he moonshiner may balance of power He caresmoth itig for tariff or rate bills and in surance legislation so long as he is permitted to transform white and yellow grain into liquid corn. He will support the .candidate who can offer the greatest protec tion against minions who creep into the hills and valleys to de stroy the outfits that brew. But Spencer B has ruined himself. He has come forth brazenly in a display advertisement to tell of the greatness and joy in a drink of Peruna. He is right there, top of column next to reading matter, handsome ana debonnaire, in frock cqat, posing beautifully for the artist, while his silk hat roats upon his magnificent physique. "I cheerfully join my friend, Senator Pritchard," he says, "in commending Pe-iu-na as a very effective remedy for coughs, colds and catarrhal troubles. Many of friends have used it with excel lent results," -v a . mi Ut course tnev nave, inat is the popular drink in dry towns. The endorsment has a double meaning, for does not Spencer B speak of Jeter C. as his friend? Have we forgotten the exciting moment in Washington when the jurist refused to shake the proffer- ed hand of the Congressman? Perhaps they have made up. Pe runa might have been the touch of nature that made the whole world kin But if moonshiners annot read what Spencer B. says it is Dick HackettTs place to read it from the hustings. The idea ef a man from the mountains saying that there is a greater drink than Noith Carolina corn liquor is beyond and above us, and when the men holding bal ance of power realize the full ex tent and meaning of the adver tisement they will rush to the polls and Spencer B. will be un happy ever afterward.

N He admired the horse, wanted it, but had neither the ability nor the experience to get him. He therefore tried to draw one. When his labors were complete, he looked first at the genuine article, then at the miserable imitation, and after long, deep study wrote THIS IS A HORSE, realizing his failure and inability to reproduce the genuine, and he knew without This is a Horse written below, no one would recognize what he had tried to make. Would-be competitors have tried for years to imitate Grape Tobacco. They make bla k plugs of similar size, but of less weight, and put in it all sorts of various concoctions, mixtures and kinds of Tobacco, but all failed (to get the business) and finally hitiipon the small boy s plan, and printed on the tag "SOMEBODY'S SUN CURED." They all advertise and tell you that SOMEBODY S SUN CURED tag is valuable Of course it is (it cost about 15 cents per thousand) but how aboutthe miserable imitation of Urape TODacco tne rag is on s oomeuouy OUu vuim mnr makps c-ood Tobacco than does THIS 13 A HORSE makes a valuable genuine horse. more makes good Tobacco than does THIS MORAL : CHEW GRAPE TOBACCO MADE IN RICHMOND (TOUCHER'S We are now occupying our new Store rooms, just two doors north from our old stand, we shall be glad to meet, at all times, our friends from the surrounding counties.
