Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Stiller are the proud and happy parents of a new daughter, since last Saturday. Miss Eva Brown wields the birch and tene hwa the young ideas in room No. 3, during the illness of her sister, Miss Clara. -; . Hon. Fred Hoover started for Indianapolis last week, after a short visit At home. He expects to go to Washington sometime in the near future. The annual spring migratibn to Pa* koto is beginning to materialize, several parties having taken their departure last week and others ready to fall into line this week. The Rev. Nebeker, of Battle Ground, preached for the jrethern of the M. E. church at this place last Sunday. He will fill the unexpired time trom now until conference and till it ably. Hon. Will Cumback will lecture here on to-morrow (Tuesday) evening, his topic being the “Invisible Some People’ 1 . Mr. Cumback,s well known reputation leads us to expect a literary treat. We were surprised to read the item in The Republican of last week, Concerning our worthy young Superintendent, as we had supposed that his smiles were all for one of Remington’s iair daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob May have suffered another bereavement in the death of their son, Elmer, a lad of iilteen years old. It will be remembered that they buried their daughter Jessie a few weeks ago. Scarlet fever being the disease in both cases. They have the sincere sympathy of the entire community. Remingtonian.

Letter From Little Rock, Ark.

Front a Jasper. County School Ma'am. M* Editor: —The Republican ns regularly and its contents are perused with pleasure, as we are always glad to hear from home. 1 understand that you have had an extreme winter. We have also had an unusual winter for this latitude, As for snow, we have had some since the ltith of January, not a flake before, but cannot complain of such blockades as you report, I think at no limo the depth of snow would have measured over four inches, perhaps not that. The principal causes of unpleasant winters here, are the sudden changes. One day may be liky spring, and but. very little, if any fire is needed to make one comfortrble. The next may )>e so cold, the wind so searching, that it seems utterly impossible to keep warm, These changes, aided by the vast amount of rain that falls dutK ing this season of th&year, causes a great deal of sickness, such as diphtheria, pneumonia, rheumatism etc. Although the thermometer never gets to 86 degrees below zero, it goes so much higher in the summer here, than there, that I think the two extremes are equal, and we suffer fully as much with cold.

We were down to the State House to-day, and looked in on the Legislature in session; first, we went into the Hall of Representatives, where we found an assembly composed of ninety-five members, seven of whom - were colored. 1 also learned that twelve were Republicans. From there we went into the Senate Chamber. This body was composed of twenty-three members, one of whom was a Republican. Judging from the short time we were in they seemed very enthusiastic. The principal question in the Representative Hall, during our stay, was the State debt. This state, like most of the southern states, is greatly involved in debt, which accounts for—the- inferior -public buildings^ —bad streets, and no sidewalks, which are some of the things ihut attract the attention of tl»e northerner on his first arrival in the Capital, especially if its a muddy time. Our school, Philander Smith College, is progressing finely, under the supervision of Prof. T. Mason. Our present enrollment is nearly two hundred, .here are only four teachers as yet, but we hope the time is not far distant, when we shall have additions to both building and faculty, which are very necessary to accommodate the growth, and to securo the success ot the school. Tnis is a good work; one that needs and ought to be done; but it is made very hard, by the prejudice of the people.

Valparaiso Messenger. * “When the robins nest again” will be the signal for the usual campaign of swindlers and dead beats. Every year the list of these fellows and their schemes grows larger UDtil to enumerate them all would require columns of space. There are a few old staml-bys-the lightning rod man, the roof painter, the cloth peddler, the Bohemian Oats fiend, the .patent wagon-tongue rogue, the “best-gate-ever-manufac-tured” swindler, and, hundreds of others are of common occurrence -and it is a very backward spring when they do not begin operations about the middle of March or the first of April. The people have been warned time and again of these swindlers but it is all the same and new nibble the bait just as voraciously as did those of the year before. Already the lightning rod man has made his appearance in some localities and is, as usual, rodding buildings for all they are worth. At Shelbyville, says a reoent dispatch, several gangs have lately been working and a new gang has lately come in. Only a few days ago a prominent farmer near the town, named John Walker, was caught for S2OB, and Mr. Walker was glad to compromise for $155. This is too old to warn people against. They who bite now do it after repeated warnings. But there is a new swindle in this part of the ceuntry to which we desire to call attention. This new gang are selling the “Great South American Cuban Corn”. The swindle is being worked in several ways, and is said to be about as slick as the Bohemian Oats business. Just what this new swindle is we cannot say but farmers will do well not to give thp Cuban Com business a trial. Foe several years past Stanley Bay. a machinist employed in the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad shops at Holster ville, Pa., had been complaining of excessive pains in the stomach. Physicians’ prescriptions did him no good, and some time ago he was compelled to quit work, and since that he has been confined to the house. As a last resort he took a dote of warm medicine. Directly afterward he was relieved of twenty-five crabs of the water species and a milk snake thirteen inches in length. He is improving rapidly, and the doctors are discussing the crabs and the situation. Bay says that about two yean ago he drank from a well in the dark) and probably swaUrwod tfeo srtbt MMI •ukb thru, . . ...... •

Relief from Malarial Poison. For six months past I have been affected with a very serious caso of typhoid malaria, which I contracted on my orange grove in noEthwhstern Florida I tried several remedies, but everything failed me. Two weeks ago I purchased a bottle of Swift’s Specific, which has proved a sure cure for this dreadful malady. I had almost given up hope of ever being well again, for I had tried so many remedies, all of which had failed to do any good. Wonld to God that all the afflicted people residing in the malarious counties of Georgia, Florida and Alabama would read this and try the S. S. S. instead of dosing themselves with quinine and mineral remedies, I feel it my duty to suffering human* ity to write this certificate, for it may be the nieaus of many of my old friends trying this great remedy as I have done. So strong is my faith in it that in every case where the directions are followed I will guarantee a sure cure or forfeit one hundred dollars. Chas. D. Barker, Publisher, Editorial Room Temperance Advocate, Atlanta, Ga.

It is a Wonderful Remedy. For many years my blood was in a bad condition, manifesting its character by a scrofulous breaking out on both of my ankles, which caused me considerable suffering as well as great annoyance, Seeing the name of Rev. Jesse H. Campbell, of Columbus Ga. attached to a certificate concerning a cure by Swift’s Specific* I wrote to him about this remedy His reply was that “it is a wonderful remedy.’’ I tried it and found the action very much as described in the directions. I used about one dozen bottles; observing a steady and almost daily improvement from the start. I - was entirely cured of this disagree - able and distressing disease. That has been nearly a year aj*o, and I find tio signs of the disease returning) and am ready to testify with Rev. Mr. Campbell that Swift’s Specific “i$ a wonderful remedy.' R.M.R.
