Two Poiuted Questions Answered. What is tbe use of waking a better article thau your competitor if you cannot get a belter price for it ? Alts.—As there is oo difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much greater m the aggregate. How can you get the public to know your make is the best? Ans.—If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and me only the better one. This explains the large sale ou Chamber-1 Iain’s Cough Remedy. The people have j been using it for years and have found that j it can always be detruded upon. They tuay . occasionally take up with some fashionable j novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, j but are certain to return to the one remedy j that they know to be reltable.aud for coughs, i colds and croups there is nothing equal to Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. For sale by J. R. Adams & Son. d Hake Their Wants Known. Tbe fifth biennial report of the Southern hospital for the insane at Evausvilie has been filed with the governor. A feature of the report ts a plea for additional accotumo- j daliotis for the insane of the southern district. The board of trustees point to the fact that 810 applications for admission, 155 of which are helieved to be urgent cases, are now on file and that uone of them can be acted upon fur lack of room. It is also cited that many of tbe county jails are holding insane. At present there are 584 patients in the institution, of which 287 are nieu and 257 women. The tmard of trustees ask appropriations from the general ariwmbly as follows: New addition for women. $40,«UU; cottages for con sum ptives, §12,000; two detention hospitals (cottages), $46,000; boiler and boiler house, $14,000; laundry. $10,000; assembly room, $10,000; dairy farm, $12,000. For maintenance $00,000 is asked if the new wing is not built and $110,060 in the event that the additional accommodations are provided. The trustees asks $6,000 for repairs.

Millions Given A way. It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The proprietors of Dr. King’s New Dtsoovery for consumption, coughs and col ls, hare given away over ten million trial bolt lee of this great medicine aud have the satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma, bronchitis, hoarseness and all diseases of the throat, eliest and lungs are surely cured by it. Call on J. K. Adams & Son, drug* gists, and get a trial bottle free, regular sise 50 cents and $1.00. Every bottle guaranteed or price refunded.

We mean he ean cure himself right away by taking Electric Hitters. This medicine tones up the whole system, acts as a stimulant to the liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures constipation, head* ache. fainting spells, sleeplessness and melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a mild laxative and restores the' system to its natural vigor.

William Wells, a young colored man who came to this city from Ayrshire, Pike county, a week or so ago and took employment in Cabei & Company's Ko. 4 mine, was badly injured Friday afternoon. Weils had prepared a "shot” to knock down the coal. He had lighted a “,-quib” but it seeius that the "squib” was not long enough to give hitu time to get away. Before he could get at a safe distance the powder exploded. Wells was thrown a distance of thirty feet. He was picked up unconscious. On examination it was found that his left leg was broken above the knee and that he was badly lacerated aud bruised by the pieces of flying coal. Young Wells was taken to the home of his sister. Mrs. Malry, who lives in the old fair grounds. Today he was getting along fairly well.—Washington Gaxette.
