Judge Peebles on Duties of Mafiis
trates.
We learn from Madison Herald of
last week that among many good
Ideas Judge Peebles tried to ernpha
size and impress upon the minds of
the Magistrates in 'the conduct of
Rockingham court, was that a mag
istrate should take in writing theev
dence of material witnesses, both in
misdemeanors as well as felonies,
have them subscribe and swear to the
same, enclose the eyidence with the
other papers In the case and then
when the Solicitor reached the case
he would be greatly helped in the
preparation of the same, besides such
care on the trial magistrate's part
will facilitate the business of Court,
save the county expense, and Judge
Peebles emphasized the further fact
that no magistrate should send 5 or
6 witnesses tocourt to prove the same
facts when the law only requires two
witnesses to establish any one mate
rial fact, and again, the J udge said
when any defendant desires to go on
the witness stand in a nr-'gl strafe's
court and testify regarding the occur
rence. It Is the duty of the Justice to
caution the defendant, tell him his
rights in the premises and how the
law does not require any man to in
criminate himself. AH magistrates
should profit by the Judge's sugges
tions. Death of Mr. Nicholas T. Green. ?
Nicholas Thos. Green was bern
Nov. 22nd. 1843, and died at his home
near Stem In Granyllle county, March
14th, 1906. He professed religion un
der the ministry of the Rev. J. B.
Martin during the year 1884, but did
not then nor at any future time con
nect himself with the church, still he
claimed to have a hope of eternal sal
vation and oftlmes In his latter days
expressed himself as prepared and
willing to die. He was a quiet in
offensive man, tender loving husband,
kind affectionate father and obliging
neighbor. Several years ago he was
stricken with paralysis and during
the remaining years of his life he had
oftrepeated strokes till the end came.
He never murmured nor complained
but bore his afflictions patiently. He
leaves a wife, four sons, two daugh
ters, two grand children, several
brothers and a large circle of friends
to mourn their loss. May God's
grace comfort and sustain them In
their sad bereavement. The writer
preached his funeral at his late home
on the 16th Instant, after which we
laid his mortal remains to rest in the
home cemetery there to await the
resurrection morn. The large gath
ering present at his burial attested
the love and esteem in which he was
held. Thus one by one we are pass
ing away and God grant that these
oftrepeated occurances may awaken
us all to greater diligence in Gods
service so that when the end comes
we may be ready to go.

Clears the Complexion.
Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup stimulates the
liver and thorougly cleanese the system and
clears the complexion of pimples and bio U li
es It is the best laxative for women and
children as it Is mild and pleasant, and
does not gripe or sicken. Orino is much
superior to pills, aperient waters and all Or
dinary cathartics as it does not irritate the
stomach and bowels. J. G. Hall.

Dear Sir: But few of the men who
sell the hundred different paints
In the market know much about
them. All Devoe agents have a state
chemists certificate telling just what
Its made of; they know a good deal,
not only about Devoe but the rest;
we see that they do. We buy every
paint has any sale, and aualyze It.
When we know what a paint is
maae of, we know how it will act;we
know how far It goes, and bow long
it wears.
Devoe la the standard; call It 100.
The best Is about 75; the worstabout
25; the rest are between.
But the men, who sell them, don't
know any better, They know what
the maker tells them. That is they
know that he tells them.. They don't
know whether he tells the truth or
' The business; is opt' conducted, on
knowledge; the less they know, 'the
more comfortable they are.

vorite Prescription " :
A remedy which invariably acts as a uter
ine invigorator makes for normal ac
tivity of the entire reproductive system. "
Be continues "In Helonias we have a medica
ment which more fully answers the above
purposes than any other drug with which I am
acquainted. In the treatment of diseases pe
culiar to women It is seldom that a case Is
seen which does not present some indication
for this remedial agent." Dr. Fyfe further
says: "The following are among the leading
Indications for Helonias (Unicorn root). Pain
or aching In the back, with leucorrhcea;
atonic (weak) conditions of the reproductive
organs of women, mental depression and ir
ritability, associated with chronic diseases of
the reproductive organs of women, constant
sensation of heat In the region of the kid
neys; monorrhagia (flooding), due to a weak
ened condition of the reproductive system;
amenorrhea (suppressed or absent monthly
periods ). arising from or accompanying an
abnormal condition of the digestive organs
and anaemic (thin blood) habit; dragging
sensations in the extreme lower part of the
abdomen." ....
If more or less of the above symptoms
are present, no invalid woman can do
better than take Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, oAe of the leadingingredi
ents of which is Unicorn root, or Helonias,
and the medical properties of which it
most faithfully represents.
Of Golden Seal root, another prominent
Ingredient of "Favorite Prescription,"
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben
nett Medical College, Chicago, says:
"It is an important remedy In disorders of
the womb. In all catarrhal conditions
and general enfeeblement. It Is useful."
Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of
Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root :
"In relation to its general effects on the
system, there it no medicine in use about which
there is such general unanimity of opinion. It
Is universally regarded as the tonic useful In
all debilitated states."
Prof. Bartholow, M. D., of Jefferson
Medical College, says of Golden Seal :
"Valuable in uterine hemorrhage, menor
rhagia (flooding) and congestive dysmenor
rhuia (painful menstruation)."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription faith
fully represents all the above named in
gredients and cures the diseases for which
they are recommended.
A SEVERE COLD
Brought on Summer Catarrh.
Pe-ru-na Cured.
MISS BLANCHE MYERS.
Miss Blanche Myers, 3120 Penn street,
Kansas City, Mo., has the following to
say of Peruna:
"During each of the past four seasons
I have caught a severe cold, v Zvn sud
denly chilled after an evening party,
and catarrh for several weeks would be
the result One bottle of Peruns cured
me, and I shall not dread colds any
more as 1 did. "BLANCHE M YERS.
Summer eolds, though not as frequent
as winter colds, very often prove more
dangerous. At the first symptoms of
catching cold Peruna should be taken.
It is sure to stop the cold at once, and
save needless suffering, and perhaps
catarrh.
Peruna as an internal, eystemic rem
edy acts promptly on the inflamed mu
cous membranes wherever the cold has
settled. It strikes at the root of the
matter, and thus cures promptly and
permanently.
