GOY. NORTHEN IN BOSTON.
Ex-Gov. W. J. Northen made a
speech in Boston Monday evening
before the Congregational club on
the negro question. The speech
was fearlessly made, exhaustive in
research and in its presentation it is
unanswerable. Gov. Northen is in
full harmony with the people of the
south on this question. There can
be but one position. The white peo
ple propose to control this section of
the country in a manner that pleases
them, regardless of the expressions
from the north or elsewhere. And
there never was a time when the
white people of the south were more
determined in this matter than now.
We believe that Gov. Northen's hold
utterances will do the north good.
WHEN NATURE
Needs assistance it may be best to
render it promptly, but one should
remember to use even the most per
feet remedies only when needed.
The best and most simple and gentle
remedy is Syrup of Figs, manufact
ured by the California Fig Syrup Cos.
THE DEATHLY CIGARETTE.
The National convention of Char
ities and Corrections has been in
session at Cincinnati this week. The
deadly cigarette .received consider
able attention and statements about
cigarette smoking are interesting.
.. An address was made by George
Torrence of Pontiac, 111., superintend
ent of the Illinois state reformatory,
on “the relation of the cigarette to
crime.”
After reciting his experience with
boys coming to his institution, Mr.
Torrence said:
“I am sure cigarrettes are destroy
ing and making criminals of more ot
them than the saloon.”
In his reformatory now there arc
278 boys. Of sixty-three averaging
j 2 years of age, fifty-eight were cigar
ette smokers. Of 133 averaging 14
years, 125 were cigarette smokers.
Of eithty-two averaging 15 years, sev
enty-three were cigarrette smokers.
This demonstrates that 92 per cent
of the whole number were cigarette
fiends at the time of committing
crime! for which they were committed
to the reformatory he said.
The general discussion developed
a similar experience with others con
nected with reformatories for boys.
The cigarette is an enemy to every
one who smokes it.

Jim GoGHrane Reads Adver
tisements.
Dear Gazette: —You will never
know how much I enjoy reading the
Gazette every week. Some time I
miss it at towns and when I do I
send the P. M., a 2c stamp to pay
for forwarding it. I read everything
in it and when I think of your fre
quent notices to the readers to al
ways trade with people who adver
tise in the Gazette I inadvertently
go to the writing room to send in an
order to Pie Anderson for a bottle
of Wrights Diarrhoea Mixture and
ask him to go to Morris Jacobs and
get me 2 of those re undervests, lar
ger children size that will stretch (I
hope 2 will carry me through the
summer).
I have some of Stafford’s Monarch
shirts and they don’t fade,
wish I was at home to get them laun
dried cheap It costs up here. I
even have to pay 25c every Sunday
for myself. I don’t need any of
Bate’s diamonds because he fixed me
up right before I left home.
lam sorry I could not buy my
r ibrella from Mills but I was in
Princeton, N. J., the day it rained
and I had to give 68c for one and I
have it yet.
One thing I can’t do, that is this,
I can’t drink Mr. Blackburn’s Pepsol
because I prefer Coca Cola. I
spend lots of money (not mine) for
tacks and often wish I could get
them ot Deavours for he sells them
right.
I.ater on you can send me one of
Collier’s mosquito nets at his “don’t
have to pay for” price for a Jersey
mosquito has a national reputation
and I believe all that has been said
about them for two lit on me last
night and the slats fell out of the
bed. If they bite me much I will
need Billy Jordan's Extract of Red
Clover.
Tell Middlebrooks, Gray, Elliott
and Brown that they sell good stufl
and teed their customers well but I
am living high too. No hotels are
too rich for me for“ I don’t like no
cheap man “and don't stop at snide
hotels,
Veal the ice man, is the “hot stufl.”
Tell him to make his arrangements
now and don’t run short during the
Chautauqua. Cash talks so should
I order real soon go to Hightowers
and get me a pistol or gun to shoot
mosquitoes, if you can borrow the
cash to pay for it. Get Turner and
Prout to make the box and have
Maddux and Son to send me anew
hat.
J. G. Smith and Son’s girl don’t
begin to compaie with the girls
here and the buggies here don’t be
gin to comoare with his make.
I have all the insurance I want and
you need not trouble about sending
me any of Dr. Sawyer’s little wide
awake pills. Love to all in town.
Gooil bye. Hold on, put me in a
bottle of Hall’s Hair Renewer, I need
it. Yours,
J. M. Cochran,
Long Branch, N. J.
P. S. Surely Jim and Ben Reeves
haven’t cpiit advertising. I also
miss Joe Reeves' good ads. Every
body ought to know that every body
reads everything in the Gazette.
By the way 1 see where Hunts Or
chestra has had a square meal and
are making sealed bids for others. I
suppose they can now play “The
Swallows Homeward Ely.’’

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity ot the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured ny scientific processes
known to the California Fig Svrup
Cos. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the Califoknia E’ig Svrup Cos.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other; par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Svrup Cos with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken

I have used every conceivable
means to make the Jubilee Concert
tonight a grand success. It cannot
be a success, however, without a lib
eral patronage from the white people.
1 expect to see to it that they be
shown every possible courtesy. They
will be given reserved seats and the
best of order will be observed.
This concert will be entirely novel,
interesting and instructive, and the
program will not be more than an
hour and a half long. “Old darky”
songs of “fo’ do war,” characteristic
negro melodies in negro dialect can
not fail to interest those who, in their
early days, often fell into peaceful
sleep in the big arms of the “black
mammy.”
Besides, the music from the string
ed instruments by the colored lads
can hardly fail to enchant the younger
ones, and the musical critic may sit
with folded arms and a calm face.
Come out and be agreeably surprised.
Admission, 20 cents.
Yours gratefully,
J. H. Torbert.

Almost every man in America has
some digestive trouble. When men
meet, the greeting usually is, “well
how are you?” That develops
health talk. The man who has no
bowel or stomach trouble is almost a
curiosity. The trouble is men take
no care of themselves. They eat as
though they had copper stomachs
and bowels of brass. By and by,
overworked nature rebels. Then
come headaches, nervousness, bad
blood, liver and kidney troubles. Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets furnish help
for constipation and torpid liver,
and sick and bilious headache, diz
ziness, sour stomach, loss of appe
tite, indigestion, or dyspepsia, windy
belchings, heartburn, pain and dis
tress after eating, and kidney de
rangements ol the liver, stomach
and bowels. Accept no substitute.
