In the opinion of Bour- guignon, a French jurist, "its origin loses itself in the night of time. Blackstone speaks of it as "a trial that hath been used time out of mind." Reeves thinks it was intro duced into England by the Nor mans, who themselves obtained it from northern Europe. It is certain that the Scandinavians had an es tablished jury system more than a thousand years ago. The Normans on their arrival in England found prevailing there the ordeal of hot irons, wtucli enforced tho oarrying of a pound of heated metal by the accused for a given distanoc, and the ordeal of hot water, in which by way of variation a stone had to be withdrawn from a pitclier of boiling water. No attempt at reform . in this direction was made by IVilliam the Conqueror. When you have a cold ect a bottle of (liam)ierliiin't Couth Remedy.

Ser vice, safety and satisfaction are guar anteed at The Bank of Union. Who could ask for more from any bank? If this is not sufficient for any one hesitating about the matter, then the record of this bank, and the good it has done, should be remembered. If these things are taken into account. and properly appreciated, the result is a ioregone conclusion. 1 here are . good many new banks snrinein up all over the country which tend to divide tip the deposits, but The Bank of Union is not making any fight on these and never will under its present management. It prefers to appeal to the people and the busi ness interests and stand upon its own merits. Its policy is to build up and not to destroy any legitimate enterprise. Those who have done business with this bank are best able to testify and say whether it merits the confidence of depositors: and every one is cordially invited to see and know for himself. Farmers selling cotton are specially invited to become depositors at The Bank of Union and, after leaving their money with this institution, they can bo home feeling easy, satisfied and able to sleep when night comes.
