At this season nearly every one needs s good medicine to purify, vitalize, and enrich the blood, and we ask you to. try Hood's n . , I j ar Sarsaparllla. It strengthens r eCU Hal and builds up the system, creates an appetite, and tones the digestion, while it eradicates disease. The peculiar combination, proportion, and preparation of the vegetable remedies nsed give to Hood's SarsapariUa pecut t5plf lar curative powers. No IWyll other medicine has such arccord of wonderful cures. If you hare made up your mind to buy Hood's Sarsaparllla do not be induced to take any other instead.

When a man has his business in perfect working order, and knows that, just then, a little more or a little less 'effort on his part will be an swered by increased or decreased profits, it is hard for him to believe it wise foe him to leave his duties for an Hour, even though he is over worked,: Bat one of ', the" highest duties a man owes himself is to give his. brain an occasional jreat. There Is a good deal more in life than, simply adding to one's bank account. There is more honor in being a goo4 citizen than in simply growing rich. It is poor policy to be thoroughly posted in all that concerns your business and be out of all knowledge of the great world. A man wants to forget his business occasionally. He ought never to carry his cares beyond his store door. A night's respite from business cares, will send you back to them with renewed strength and a clearer head. Do not imagine your business will go the dogs if you leave for a day or two. If you have been thorough with your men it you have faithful-' and interested employees the machine will jog along smoothly enough until you return. -We are all apt to flatter ourselves that we are doing what no other person -coald do; but, not in-1 frequently, something happens to show us that we are not nearly as in dispensable as we imagined in fact, that a division of labor in our busi ness would be vastly to its advan tage. Our subordinates, if left in charge occasionally, will have a chance to carry out some. ideas of their own, and these in a majority of cases, are decided improvements. I The man who repulses suggestions of those under him dves his men no credit for knowing anything be yond the steady routine of their em ployment loses much that would be of assistance to him, fajls into a rut and stays there, much to hia detri ment. The man who cannot learn something from contact with other men, whether employees or outsiders is not a healthy man. Business is a master that soon makesabject slaves of us if we will; but, with a well established trade, one should be master of his business. With probity, indastry and economy almost any man, by well directed effort, may be prosperous. What ever progress is made without this foundation is deceptive. ( Adapted from Ma her' s "Practical Hints." A good fitory is told on an old darkey whoi visited a neighbor of his and took a seat close to a box in which a fat opossum was confined. After staying an hour, he arose, bade the family good-night, and started out. Some one remarked : "Lor ! Ung' Jerry, dar's a, 'possum tail swingin' right under your coat." It was there. He had stolen his neigh bor's animal. As he pulled him out, his face wore a look of blank amaze ment. "Well, well, well,y he re marked, "who ebber- seed de like o' dat ! Ef dat 'possum didn't go and crope right up under my coat-tail while I was settin' dar by dat box. Lookee 'ere, Mr. 'Possum, ef you take me for a 'simmon tree, you's badly orf d$ track, sho's you born ! You jes' clam up under somebody else's coat-tail nex' time." As he went out the door, he was heard to remark in an undertone, "I wish some folks would keep dair 'possums boxed up a little better when I goes to see 'em. Exchange Its Success Assured. , At Bellevue hospital comparative examinations of the sputa of patients inoculated for . the phthisis with Koch's lymph have been begun. In the case of one patients before inoc ulation three bacili jwere founds in the field of examination. - After the third injection fifteen to twenty-Eve bacili were present. The sputa had increased to double the; quantity before injection ;?After the fifth in- iection" the f sputa i 'diminished m quantity and contained from five tot an haoil!' - Th man' a na-noral cnn. ! dition was improved and his appetite, good, .In another case of phthisis fifty bacili were found after the first jnjecuon, ou to iug.aiterine raw fl nr t - . y and forty to sixty arter the i sixth; i1111;;, - . -U iUtelhe il Mr. Cliffe,'lthey all an- jection the sputa Is diminished in swered. apantity, the inoculated pa - "What do you mean by calling me tients have increase in weight since h prclaimed.

JANUARYS 8, Melange of Dots. . " It is said that virtue is not td be considered- in the light of mere inno csnce, or abstaining from harm, but as-the exertion of our' faculties in doing good. . .. .... '.,; It is said how much trouble he avoids who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does, or thinks, but what he' does luinself, that it may just and pure. i It is said that the" chief thing - to be done for those who are in trouble is to enable them "to stand on their own feet, to be braveahd strong to see the- sun Bhining :-throngh:thel clouds, and thus to receive the edu cation which such experiences are able to give. True, friendship, in calamity will spare no pains and leave no means untried to further these results. , - It said that life is a flower of which love is the honey. , It is said that the bread of life is love ; the salt of life is work. It is said that the Creator never gave man a sweeter proof of His love than to place woman here with him. It isaaid carve your name on hearts and not on marble. v.. - It is said that ixoct will suffer no gsod work to fall to the ground fruit: less. . : . - It is said nothing divinedies; all good is essentially, reproduc tive. It is said that music is one of the mosi beautiful presents God has gtven. It is said 5 that temperance and labor are the two best physicians of man. It is said that to love' and be loved is the greatest happiness in, exis- tence. It is said that a handful of good life is better than a bushel of learn ing. It is said that failures are with noble minds the stepping stones to success. ' It is said it you wish, success - m life make perseverence your bosom friend. It is said that each days account ought to leave the balance of some thing done. It is said that the pleasure of da iug good is the only one that does ' not wear oat, It is said tha' the way to make ourselves admired is to be what we affect to bo thought. It is said that a duty is no sooner divined than from that moment it becomes binding on us. It is said that a disinclination to begin a work through fear of failure is a mark of weakness. v-'-J!--'! It is said that we may not .all be great, but goodness is an attainment possible to the. lowest. : It is said that negligence is the rust of the soul that corrodes through all her best resolves. ' Philander Tit For Tat. It is never wise to intrude one's prejudices upon the general public, since there is everywhere some one capable of taking such prejudices and turning them to ridicule! No where is this more true than in the case of strangers in country, towns, for nowhere does ready wit; find ex pression more freefy than under such circumstances. It is related that there formerly lived in Boston a lawyer named Rat cliffe, who was famous for his skep ticism and hatred of religious things One time this Mr. Batcliffe had occa sion to go to St. Albans, Ft.-to take testimony in a law case in which he was engaged. "He amused' himsel during the proceedings by continually alluding to the town as "Albans,?- in stead of St. Albans. 'Presently one of the locaHawyers asked, Why ,do yoa call this place Albans'?" . - "Because I don t like saints," said Mr; Ratcliffe. "Oh 1" 1 . . JNothing more was said on the sub ject, bu byand-bf, the woik being I conipietwu, tue dosiuu Mawjcr juoo take his departure. " j Good-bgentletoen,"- he .said to three or four St Albans men who ""Whv. we don't like rats one of the St. Albans men . ruih Vvmpanivii. ? Butcherincr on the Farm. i The principal reasons why every farmer should- cure his own pork meat are the satisfactipn of knowing the health cdndiiion of the animals slaughtered the advantage .of hav ing the lard,! 'sausage and such other accompaniments of the - butchering j)nt up in a" clean 'ind " satisfactory- manner, the great saving and econ omy of money in providing the meat supply for the 5 famlly, etc. A cor respondent in The; -Omaha Herald expresses the -opinions of experi enced farmers by sayjng : ; ; :-4 Every- farmer should provide him self with a complete butchering out fit, large barrel for scalding and a scaffold for hanging the hogs, con- ftructed in such a manner as to be aken apart and put away in the dry until neeaea again, I A good, tight,- Veil-built smoke house should be on every farm, large (enough to accommodate the entire putchering work, meat blocks for cutting up, tables for lard, etc., poxes for salting down the meat tintil ready to hang jap and a good fnrnace suitable for rendering. Ven tilation is necessary and should be protected by fine wire screen so as to exclude flies. The butchering work should never be brought into thevdwelling. - - liendering lard, making sausage, etc., is a work of itself, and should be provided with a suitable place, and a good roomy meat house is the most suitable. hen a farmer gets properly fixed to provide his own meat supply, carrying every detail pf the wdrk, he has then accomplished one of the greatest systems of saving to be acquired on the farm. , Parting of the Ways. Wilkins and Watkins were college fhums and close friends. They had been, hard students and had taken o out-door exercise. When they .ook hands . and said good-bye, at the end of their college career, they trere in impaired health. Both had dyspepsia, liver troubles and trouble some coughs. Wilkins nad plenty 'of money, and decided to travel - for his health. Watkins was poor. ' I mut go to work for my Jiving:," said he, "but I'll try the remedy that Robinson talks-Bo much about Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery." In T leas'-than' two years, Wilkins came home in his .conin. Watkins, now in the prime of life, is a bank president, rich ' and respected, and weighs 200 pounds. "The 'Golden Medical Discovery saved my life at a critical time," he often says. "Oh if poor Wilkins had only tried it !" For weak lungs, spitting of blood, all lingering coughs, and consumption in its ear)y. stages, it is an unequaled remedy. Good Maxims. Attend carefully to the details of yourbusiness."

A Bible Three Centuries -; .Old. - - KMr3.: Barbara Miller, who resides at No. 419 E.ast Sixty-first street has in ' her possession a very old Bible. It is a" German Catholic Bible, and was printed in 1543. The ancient volume is 18 inches long," 9 inches wide and '6 inches thick.''.,- The leaves are yellow -with age, tand wojald not bear 'handling. The . type used, in printing the Bible was madeof wood.'

Why notj open a tobacco market? ; You have the warehouses. .It is a good time to open them.Jas the present is the largest and best crop of tobacco, from - all I have - seen and heard throughout the fine tobacco belt, both in Virginia and North Carolina,' that we have had for years, or probably will havej for ten years to come, and from my? experience i&nd that has been considerable) there is not much danger in dealing in tobacco when the quality is good, no matter how large the crops,- but take care when, the crop is large and of poor quality. Boydton isjiow more favorably sit uated, having the railroad, and near the center of the finest tobacco region n the world. You have the bank and bhe money at least to begin with. All you need is the! enterprise, and you can;make it a good tobacco mar ket if you will only go in with a vim. Half a doien such men as W. P. Webb would soon build up the mar ket. Ihen vou would draw men with capital from 'other places to help you, not only to sustain your market, but to build up your town and double the value of vour real es tate, as well as that for miles around I tell you that I have travelled West, East, South and North,, and I verily believe old Mecklenburg-is as good as anywhere else, and the day is near at hand when'she will come to the front, and her lands go up like a sky-rocket. I am so well satisfied of this fact, that but for my advanced age I would double the price of - my land, and confidently expect there would be nouiifficulty in getting . If I was 20 years jounger, I would laugh at .the man who would offer me less than $20 per acre. Andl there is the Buffalo Lit hia Springs, I etter than a gold min, not only helping its own people, but daily sending , out its healing waters all over the world. The fact is, Meck lenburg is not appreciated by her own people. It is high time she was, and that she would let the outside world know where and what she is. Then other people will come in and help build up the waste places, less'favorably situated. Well I don't know but you may consign this to the waste basket, 1 will stop by wishing the News and all the peo ple of our glorious old county the best 8uccess,so mote itbe. Hax..
