SENATOR BROWN ON TRUSTS.
Senator Joseph E. Brown has writ
ten the following letter to Mr. J. J.
Holloway: of Carroll county:
1 have this day received your letter
accompanied by the resolutions pass
ed by the Clem Farmers’ Alliance, de
nouncing the bagging trust and ask
ing legislation for its prevention, etc.
Very soon after 1 received the letter
1 carried it to the Senate and intro
duced it as a memorial of your Alli
ance and had it referred to the finance
committee.
There are probably half a dozen
bills now pending in the two houses
to suppress trusts. There are Impor
tant differences of opinion existing
among the senators anil representa
tives as to the extent of the powers
of congress over the question where
the exerciso of power would conflict
with state jurisdiction. The question
is being carefully examined, but we
are getting so far along in the present
session that I fear it is very doubtful
whether there will be any chance to
get effective legislation during this
session. Indeed, the disposition of
senators and representatives now
seems to run more in the direction of
making political speeches to affect tlie
pending campaign than in the direc
tion of legislation of the character
mentioned.
I shall very cordially give my sup
port to any measure for the snppres-
sion of trusts of this character, which
can be constitutionally passed, and
promise to be at all effective.
1 trust by auother year the farmers
may be able to fortify themselves
thoroughly against exactions of this
character.

The Proposal by Letter.
New Y'ork Letter.
One of my girl friend's opinion is
that a man wiio proposes by letter
is a fool. It is so much more easy to
refuse him thau it is if lie is standing
face to face with the lady of his
choice. “If a woman is a coquette,”
we are told, “it is ten to one that
she does refuse him (when he pro
poses by letter), for she thinks lie
will be sure to ask her again if she
does not make her refusal too posi
tive.” I agree with that. I do not
think 1 could ever bring myself to
accept a written offer. To mo it
suggests lack of passion or lack of
courage; either that tlie man did
not think the woman worth the
time and trouble necessary to get
her, or else his courage not being
equal to the occasion, ho took refuge
after saying “Y'es.”
“Miss Maud, 1 ' he said, “I have
come in this evening to ask you a
question, and I have brought a ring
with me. Now, before you try it on
I want to tell you that if you feel in
clined to be a sister to me I will have
to take it back, as my father objects
to my sisters wearing such largo dia
monds.” And Mand said she would
keep the ring.

tlie wind rushed through the hull and

getting into his buggy he drove

The True Method
Of curing habitual constipation, and
liver and kidney ills, is to avoid tlie
use of the bitter drastic liver medi
cines and cathartics, and to take only
the pleasant liquid fruit reireily, 8yr-
up of Figs. It eleauses as well as
strengthens the system, and dees not
leave tlie bowels costive, so that regu
lar habits may bo formed, and the in
valid permanently restored to health.
It acts promptly and effectively; it is
easilv taken, and perfectly harmless.

where it met tlie gaze of a hungry and
cudless calf, as it were, for when he
arose tlie next morning his pants
were missing, and looking out he
saw one prong of them lying off to
itself and the other a shapeless mass
not far away. Just picture his troub
led countenance when he thought of
being without breeches at the house of
a widow with no sons, with no
males whatever on the place.
But mustering up the courage of
a Scott he communicated his embar
rassing position to the inmates of the
house, and the good heart and com
mon sense of the young lady over
ruled what is so often called modesty,
and she kindly sent him a large bon
net and tho ever comfortable “moth

and the lust seen of this unfortunate
young man lie was whipping up “Sor-

passed a resolution inwardly that he

Dyspepsia
Makes the lives of many people
miserable, anil often leads to self-de
struction. We know of no remedy
for dyspepsia more successful than
Hood's Sarsaparilla. It acts gently,
yet surely and efficiently, tones the
stomach and other organs, removes
the faint feeling, creates a good ap
petite, cures headache, and refreshes
the burdened imind. Give Hood's
Sarsaparilla a fair trial. It will do
you good.

Supporting Local Papers.
The people of Radford will not look
in the direction of advertising the
town. They will even attempt to
cripple tlicir town paper by patron]
izing offices of other towns with tliV-ir
job work and so forth. Stiff every
one expects tho Democrat to boom
Radford for all it’s worth.—Radford
(Vu.) Democrat.
YVe have seen many cases of this
kind, and some business men seem to
bo incapable of appreciating die fact
that every good looul paper does its
town ten times as much good ns it is
ever paid for. Mon having largo in
terests in a town and deeply concern
ed as to its progress often try to see
how little they can do for their own
local papers. The papers of the
South are to-day doing far more for
the good of their country than they
receive credit for. Day after day and
week after week they are telling of
its advantages of soil, climate and
minerals and of its progress. The
facts which they give are widely pub
lished iu other papers, and tlms the
good work is carried far beyond
their immediate circle of readers.
Tlie Manufacturers’ Record has often
noted with admiration the great work
that Southern papers are doing, and
regretted to see how poorly in many
cases they are supported by the people
whose interests «tliey are serving.—

a good wife the first time, is it
not natural that ho should try to
consolo himself with a second?
If he has made a mistake for tho

to tho fair sox iu general if he

his first error? I knew a man
