In visiting the city of Ashe
Ville, one who knew it in former
davs cannot fail to mark the
wonderful improvement within
the last few years. It has grown
trom a town or a tew nunarea
to a city of thousands; and the
between the old wood
ior a nooier purpose taan to
create and cherish political ani
mosities. You meet to talk of
times that tried men's souls to
add fresh fuel to the friendships
on the altar erected on this spot
thirty years ago to-day; to re
joice together and to mingle
tears in remembrance of brave
comrades who have gone from
this, I trust, to a more peaceful
and better world. Peace broods
over our land. "Grim-visag'd
war hath smoothed his wrinkled
front." These mountains no

and and places of business is
wonderful to contemplate. The
improvement on the streets and
sidewalks is also in marked con
trast with those of a few years
ig5. But it is a great pity that
the police regulations of the city
are so imperfect. No attention
seems to be paid to the rights of
pedestrians on the sidewalks;
L-afcher -the sidewalks seem to

negroes. You often find them

should be placed upon the market It can
not, therefore, be stated too emphatically,
nor repeated too often, that all who are in
need of a genuine Blood-purifier should
be sure and ask for
Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. Tour life, or that of some one
near aud dear to you, may depend on the.
uae of this well-approTed remedy in prefer
ence to any other preparation of similar
name. It is compounded of Honduras sar
saparilla (the variety most rich in curative
nroDerties. stillinjria, mandrake, yellow
dock, and the iodides. The process of man
ufacture is original, skilful, scrupulously
clean, and such as to secure the very best
medicinal qualities of each iDgredieut. This
rAediclne is not boiled nor heated, and is,
therefore, not a decoction ; but it is a com
pound extract, obtained by a method ex
clusively our own, of the best aud most
.powerful alteratives, tonics, and diuretics
known to pharmacy. Tor the last forty
years, Ayer's
Sarsaparilla
has been the standard blood-purifier of the j
world no other approaches it in p. pulai
confidence or universal demand. Its form
ula is approved by the leading physicians
and druggists. Being pure and highly con-
centrated, it is the most economical of any
possible blood medicine. Every purchaser !
of Sarsaparilla shoidd insist upon having t
this preparation and see that each bottli j
bears the well-known name of .
