Newspaper Page Text2 TOWN WELL NAMED Bridgewater, \ irginia, and i its Long Bridge. Tilt: OLD AM) MODERN I The Prettiest Small Town in the Great and Picturesque Shenandoah Valley- Friday evening, after the horse show, I boarded the train for this place. As it is only eight rniDs, I was soon grasping the hands of friends who gave me such a hearty , welcome as to make me feel that I wis again at home. Here it was that over four years of my early married life were :p tit,surrounded by many near and dear relatives on both sides, nearly all of whom have gone to their reward; but there are children and grandchil dren of these, with now and then the familiar face of an old-time friend, enough to make me feel at home. Tins place enjoys the reputation of being the p ettiest small town in the valley. It is situated on the north side of the North river, the Noith.South and Middle rivers coming togeihef not many miles below this, forming the Shenan doah, which traverses the whole of the eastern side f the county. The Harrisonburgh and Warm Sp-ing turnpike runs through li re. Along this the old town extends fir a mile, shaded by beautiful maple treer. in some places the limbs from the two sides interlap ping, thus making it a verit ible paradise for the summer loafer A majority of the old houses are built even with the sidewalks, hut the modern buildings have done a..ay with this style and have small yards in front. There are now several new streets, with mod ern houses. Here is a splendid college be longing to the Ounkards, a Ger man Baptist sect, the best agri cultural people of this section. They have a campus of ten acres, beautifully situated, with all the necessary buildings for a well equipped school. It has a good patronage, representing several states. This people, when I left here, did not believe in higher edu cation, but now they have many fine schools and as fine professors as can be found. Many are mov ing here to educate their children. In a mile along the river are four fine water powers, three of which are utilized, a woollen factory and flouring mill at one, a mill at another; the third furnishes the power for an electric plant; the fourth has not been utilized, the old mill having been washed away. The town is lighted by arc lights, but the council have put a little more work upon each than they are able to do; consequently each o le is so busy with its own work as not tobe able to contribute much to the general effect. There are four denominations which have church buildings. The Methodists and Presbyterians pre dominate. There is also preach ing every Sunday night at the col iege chapel. There is a very prosperous bank here, with home capital and run upon the Witharn system. It was started on a small capital, but has increased every year. I learn its stock will bring $1.75 and none to sell. Over the river here is the longest one span wooden bridge in the United Slates, if not in the world. Many bridge builders said it was an impossibility, but at last a com mon carpenter, who once lived , always kecp on hand > Ther* i~. no kind of pain 'or actio, internal or exter nal, that Pain-Killer will 'not relievo. ► : 1-OOK OUT FOR IMITATIONS AND SUB STITUTES.

What to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Roct. the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain is the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it. or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won derful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

Just as the south entrance of the bridge is left we find the old homestead of my former friend u mi present Georgia neighbor, Mr. G urge R. Gibbons. This is a beau tiful and produc ive place. It has been subdivided, and is now the home of several prosperous farm ers. Tne old house and surround ings are almost as they were wb< u the former occupants left them in 1868 for their Georgia homes. We have had a few mornings so coo! as to make me long for old Georgia. There was frost on the morning of the 23d. J. C. H. Bridgewater, Ya., October 1, 1904 When the horse picks up a nail in his foot what does the driver do? Does he whip the limping, lagging animal and force him along? Not unless he wants to ruin the horse At the first sign of lameness he jumps down, examines the foot and carefully removes the cause ot the lameness. What is called “weak stomach” is like the lameness of the horse, only to be cured by removing the caust of the troub’e. If you stimulate the stomach with “whisky medicines” you keep it going, but every day the condition is growing worse. A few doses sometimes of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will put the disordered stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition in perfect condition. Ninety-eight times in every hundred “Golden Medical Discovery will cure the worst ailments originating in dis eases of the stomach. It always helps. It almost always cures. To cure constipation use Dr. Pierce’s Pleasants Pellets. They’re sure. One of Many. 11. B. Tinsdale, of Sumxnerton, S. G., suffered for twenty years with the Piles. Specialists were employed and many remedies used but relief and permanent good was found only in use of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. This is only one of the many, many cures that have been effected by this wonderful remedy. In buying Witch Hazel Salve it is only necessary to see that you get the genuine DeWitt's, made by E. G. DeWitt and Cos. in Chicago, and a cure is certain. De- Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve cures all kinds of piles, cuts, bums, bruises, lez “ilia, tetter, ringworm, skin dis eas s, etc. Sold by Greene Drug Cos.

They owe it to their children, Yet it is no unusual sight to see a mother, with babe in arms, coughing violently and ex hibiting all the symptoms of a con sumptive tendency. And why should this dangerous condition exist, dan gerous alike to mother and child, " hen Dr. Bosehee's German Svrup would put a stop to it at once? No mother should he without this old and tried remedy in the houst—for its timely use will promptly cure any lung, throat or bronchial trouble in herself or her children. The w orst cough or cold can be speedily cured by German Syrup; so can hoarseness and congestion of the bronchial tubes. It makes expectoration easy, and gives instant relief and refreshing rest to the cough racked consumptive.

Thad Pickett, pretcher and political ic'ormer, spoke in Marietta a few da*s ago The Marietta Journal gives the follovv ; ing account; Rev. Thad Pickett, who ‘‘walk ed“ several times for congress as an independent in the I ninth district, moved into the sev- I enth district, and is at it again. He represents no pirty, no prin ciple. nor any thing, nor any <#ie, but himself. He just simply wants to go to congress, but never will. He spoke here Friday. And we heard that speech. It was Sound! Sound! Win- ! Wind! It was devoid of any semiment, principle or argument that would commend him as worthy to repre sent the people in congress. It lacked all the essentials of making votes. It appealed to no intelligent conviction or elevating principle, and did not inspire ap plause except when Watson’s “name” was mentioned, and that was very feeble, as there were not over fifty people present. His remarks consisted of criti cism and ridicule of Parker, Cleve lind and the democratic party, and he said there was no difference be tween the parties, and that Bryan had fallen down and worshipped the golden calf because he pre ferred peace to silver agitation. Pickett didn’t have a word of condemnation of Roosevelt, social equality, the republican party, its extravagance, militarism and impe rialism, but seemed to be pleased at the thought tnat Roosevelt might be elected and Parker defeated. He didn’t advance a single prop osition or principle that he would seek to carry out if elected, or what it was possible to do as bush whacking independent in a body of congressmen composed of crats and republicans. He advanced the strange propo sitioa that if a man took part in a democratic; prim try he was not bound to support the notnineeun ] rss he was sworn or took an oath to abide the result, but that such ; ill plied goai faith and fairnes- j was no more than a man taking off j his coat and going to bed at night, and yet be is a preacher of right eousnes! If the managers of the election | had demanded an “oath” as a requisite to vote, the voters would have considered it an insult, an impeachment of their honor and manhood, Yet this seducer of political virtue would have these men to do this thing, vote for an independent who is without a party, and stands for nothing under the sun but an undying ambition to go to congress! Alas, and “What did the Wog gle bug say?” • Can you Eat? J. B. Taylor a prominent merchant of Chriesman, Texas, says: “I could not eat because of a weak stomach, 1 lost all strength and ran down in weight. All that money could do was done, hut all hope of recovery vanish ed. Hearing of some wonderful cures effected by use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, 1 concluded to try it. The first bottle benefitted me, and after taking four bottles, 1 am fully restored to my usual strength, weight and health.’’ Kodol Dyspepsia Cure di gests what vou eat' ami cures.
