AN OLD SORE months of diligent and faithful use of external remedies that the place remains as defiant, angry and offensive as ever. Every chronic sore, no matter on what part of the body it comes, is an evidence of some previous constitutional or organic trouble, and that the dregs of these diseases remain in the system; or, itmaj'be that some long hidden poison perhaps Cancer has come to the surface and begun its destructive work. The blood must be purified before the sore will fill up with healthy flesh and the skin regains its natural color. - It is through the circulation that the acrid, corroding fluids are carried to the sore or ulcer and keep it irritated and inflamed. S. S.

Mide by Standard Oil Company BLACK-DRAUGHT THE ORIGINAL LIVER MEDICINE A sallow complexion, dizziness, biliousness and a coated tongue are common indications of liver and kidney diseases. Stomach and bowel troubles, severe as they are, give immediate warning by pain, ut liver and kidney troubles, though less painful at the start, are much harder to cure. Thedford's LHack-Praught never fails to bene fit diseased liver and weakened kid neys. It stirs up the torpid liver to throw off the germs of fever and ague. It is a certain preventive or cholera and Bright's disease of the kidneys. With kidneys re inforced by Thedford's Black -Draught thousands of persons have dwelt immune in the midst of yel low fever. Many families live in perfect health and have no other doctor than Thedford's Black Draught. It is always on hand for use in an emergency and saves many expensive calls of a doctor. Mullins, S.

Very respectfully, (MISS) MAGGIE HICKS. Oxford, N. C, 11. F. D. No. 3. Died, at her residence, in Granville county, N. C, Marcn 17th, 1863, Mrs. Sarah J. Crews, consort of Mr. James Crews, in the 73rd year of her age. In many respects Mrs. Crews was a lady of extraordinary character. She governed and reared up her children by the pure principles of Christianity "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." She saw all of them ac ceptable and useful members of the church of the living God. She was much beloved by all who knew her, for her many superior excellencies of heart. In early life she experienced religion, and united in church fellow- snip with the Methodist Episcopal church, and during her long life was a living demonstration of the truth of our glorious Christianity. She gave diligence to add to her faith. virtue, and all the rich cluster of christian graces. No one of them was neglected, nor was any culti vated to the exclusion of others. She read and thought much, and it was ever pleasant and profitable to con- verse with her upon the great princi- pies of religion. She was not a chris tian in word, nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth. No trivial excuse ever kept her from the house of Goa. Her great excellency was found In her almost unbounded kindness to the suffering and the poor often wao euc oecu """uu.y seeK- mg tne uesxixute tnat sne mignt re lieve their suffering; many hearts have been cheered by her timely pres ents. She never spoke of her munifi cence her many deeds of charity. Thus she lived well, and she died well. She discharged with christian fidelity the duties of every relation of life: as wife, mother, sister, friend, neighbor and mistress. When she was stricken down with her last sickness, she was convinced that her days were numbered; but she was ready her house was in order. Her mind in her last days was almost entirely occupied with divine things. Day and night were the songs of Zion sung around her sick couch; her favorite song, "O sing to me of heaven," was often sung for her. Great was her peace. Her faith was simple, grand, unwavering, until a glorious entrance was ministered to her abundantly Into the everlast ing kingdom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus ennst.

I see that your correspondent from Stovali said in the Public Led ger that people from that section were going to Henderson to sell to bacco because Oxford had closed her bar-rooms This is'a strauge thing. It seems from this that there are people who think they must drink and get drunk every time they carry a load of tobacco to market. They seem to think that the market where whiskey is sold is the best market. . As low as tobacco is now, I would think they would rather patronize a market where they would not be tempted to worse than waste a large part of what little they get for their tobacco. Many a man sells a load of tobacco and then goes to drinking, gambling and carousing all night long, spending his money and dis turbing those who want to rest. Many a man in this way fools away nearly half of what he gets for his tobacco. His family at home are in rliiAMi"l ill I "r.lu 'T.imtk lit 1u rinci fi,i f l. . ...... ...

A drinking man ought never to sell to bacco in a market where there are bar-rooms. He will be sure to waste a good part of his money. The men about Stovali are instrik lg contrast with two farmers I heard talking recently They said they liked to sell tobacco in Oxford now; they could get as good prices there as anywhere else, and then they said we can lie down and rest at night and not be disturbed by runken men. They declared that closing the bar-rooms had made Ox- ord a much more desirable market to patronize. These men are right. Open bar-rooms are a curse to the people of towns, cities and country. They ought all to be closed and never opened again. It would make better markets and better people. J. A. STItADLEY. swim in shackles. It isn't a question of his winning a race, but a question of being able only to keep anoat. The man who is suffering from malnutrition is like the fettered swimmer. His stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutri tion are diseased. It is not a question with him of winning in the race for busi ness but of simply keeping up under any circumstances. Whenever disease affects the stomach it is affecting also the blood and the health of every or gan of the body. For blood is only food converted into nutrition and nutri tion is the life of the body and every organ of it. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri tion. It purifies the blood and enables the perfect nutrition of the body which means perfect health. "For six long years I suffered with indiges tion and my liver and kidneys, which baffled the lest doctors in our country," writes E. I. Ran sell, Esq.. of Woolsey, Prince Wiliiarii Co., Va. " I suffered with my stomach and back for a long time, and after taking a ' cart-load ' of medicine from three doctors I grew so bad I could hardly do a day's work. Would have death-like pains in the side, and blind spells. I began taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets.' Before I had taken halt" of the second bottle I began to feel relieved. I got six more bottles and used them, and am happy to say I owe my life to Dr. Pierce."
