Some of the dis plays are magnificent. He has laid in such a varied stock that all tastes and desires can be satisfied. As I sat in one of the stores in my native town, which had the largest display, I ha ’e seen and j watched the crowd of eager pres- , ent seekers. I could not help con trasting the present with the time when I was a boy, fifty years ago. and was one among the eager look ers anc! admirers. I thought Are these chiloren, with the pres, ent surroundings, any happier than we were? I think not. For then we were pleased and satisfied with what we had. This display can do no more. The inventive genius for the gratification and amuse ment of children has kept abreast j with other departments. The water supply is getting to be a serious problem in parts of this county. Many farmers rely entirely on cisterns,.most of which are dry. Some are driving their stock to water and hauling for other purposes. There are being a great many wells bored, getting a fine supply of water at from 150 to 200 feet, most of which is pumped by windmills There was a slight rainfall one day recently, but the thermometer fell to 22, cov ering everything with ice. I saw a locust post which has been in the grcund for over twenty five years, having been first used *y the great-grandfather of the person who now owns the place. There is a macadamized road from Staunton to Winchester, over which many an old soldier of Bar*- tow has marched, which was built nearly sixty-five years ago, posted at the line with square black locust, nearly all of which are in good con dition. This shows the durability of the wood. I was told this incident of our civil war by a person who was an eye-witness to the fact. There were living in this county, be fore the war, two brothers by the name of Morris#. One went to Maryland. enlisted on dif ferent sides, the iMaryland brother driving a team in the quartermas ter’s department, the other belong- to Mosby’s command. During a raid of Mosby’s, near Berryville, Va., the driver brother was cap tured. He, with other prisoners was sent up the river to Staunton, passing by the Morriss home. The Mosby brother got permission to stop with his brother and visit their mother and other relatives, he being responsible for his safe de livery to the authorities. After spending a few days at home, the brothers were seen marching up the pike, one guarding the other, and turned hjm over to the provost guard at Staunton. 4;rip Quickly Knocked Out. “Some weeks ago during the severe winter both mv wife and myself con tracted severe colds which speedily de veloped into theworst kind of lagrippe with alt its miserable symptoms,’’ says Mr. J.

Let’s stick to business, and keep both our dignity and our manhood, fearing nothing, but expecting the just and fair treatment due us as an integral and co- ual part of this great union. A Certain Cure for Crup. When a child shows symptoms of croup there is no time to experiment with new remedies, no matter how highly they may be recommended. There is one preparation that can be depended upon. It has been in use for many years and has never been known to fail, viz; Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy. Mr. M. F. Compton of Market Texas, says of it, "I have used Cham berlan’s Cough remedy in severe cases of croup with my children, and can truthfully say it always gives prompt relief.

A severe cold or attack of la grippe is like a tire, the sooner you combat it the better your chances are to over power it. Hut few mothers in this age are willing to do the necessary work required to give a good old fashioned reliable treatment such as would be administered by their grandmothers, backed by Boscliee's German Syurp, which was always liberally used in connection with the home treatment of colds and is still in greater household favor than any known remedy. But even withou the application of the old-fashioned aids German Syrup will cure a severe cold in quick time. It will cure colds in children or grown people. It re lieves the congested organs, aliays the irritation, and effectively stops the cough. Any child will take it. It is invaluable in a household of children.
