For stomach and liver troubles, and for the cure cf headache caused l>y these derangements, Aver s Pills cannot be equaled. mm When my friends ask me what is the best remedy for disorders of the stomW ach, liver, or bowels, my invariable ? answer is, Ayer's Pills.

Its Harbor the Finest on the Atlantic Coast?Great Shipbuilding Plant Chesapeake aDd Ohio System? Steamship lines whose vessels ply between this city and points?Immense coal shipments. "VV . ? [ \ Newport News is a city of about : 12,000 inhabitants, is situated on a point of land formed by the confluence of the James river and Hampton Roads, twenty miles from capes Charles and Henry, the mouth of the Atlantic coast, has a depth of twentyseven feet at low water, and can acc^mmodite the largest vessels afloat. The climate is good, neither too hot in summer nor too cold in winter to interfere with out door labor. Navigation is aiways possible here. Newport News is the terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway and is in close ahd direct touch with the marts of a western empire and being the natural outlet for the products . of an immense'area of territory ex> tending south, west and northwest, t-V1 and the natural receiving point for distributing supplies over the same territory; is it any wonder that New^ port News stands today foremost in I the line of march for industrial supremacy, material, growth and assured development ? The Chesapeake and pbio Steamship Company runs regular lines of steamers between this port and Europe, and the Furness & Witby i Company and the Barber Transatlantic Line also dispatch several steamers from this port to Europe, not to speak of the numerous "trampsv calling here at all times. The Old Dominion Steamship Company has a daily line of elegant steamers between this port and New York, and the Merchants and Miners Transportation Company to Boston, Providence and Baltimore. The Atlantic Coast Coaling Station at Newport News is constantly growing more popular as a port of call for steamers. The shipment of coal from this port are about 1,2000,000 tons per annum and gives employment to some two hundred men. Being south of the ice line, it is i _ _ L _!! open to iree navigation at an seu&uuD of the year, and its geographical position is so favorable that owners ! study their best interests by ordering iheir vessels to call at Newport News for orders when sent out seeking. The large wharf used for coaling steamers is over 603 feet long, and it has been found necessary to erect a second wharf for the exclusiye use of sailing vessels, giving facilities for loading eight vessels at once. Steam9r3 are served from an elevated wharf, coal being run into bunkers through chutes from which 100 tons per hour can be furnished to each steamer. Electric lights are used at night, thus insuring dispatch at all times in bunkering steamers. The coal furnished at Newport News is well known in the markets of the world as "New River Steam Coal" It is mined in Fayette county, "West Virginia, and gives universal satisfaction alike for steam raising, coke manufacture, and all purposes ' for which coals of this nature are used. The prevailing report of steamship captains and engineers is to the effect the New River coal is superior to the best Cardiff coal, bej ing free from sulphur, low in ash, j and at the same time containing a large per centage of carbon. It is a steaming coal, easy to work, and in combustion leaves a small amount of residue. The United States government, recognizing the superiority of this coal, get their supply for many of their vessels here, and, cruisers and battleships are now a common 6igbt in our harbor. The most important feature of the city is undoubtedly the splendid plant of the Newport News Ship Building and Dry Dock Company, costing nearly live million dollars. o * This enterprise occupies seventy-five acres of ground, located rather mora than a mile to the northwestward from the railway and steamship wharves. The water frontage is one half mile, and the buildings already ia service for various purposes cover six acres, the actual floor space being much greater. The specialty of this admisable undertaking is the eco nomical construction of iron and steel steamships and iron vessels of all kinds, in addition to which contracts are made for repairs. Seventeen iron vessels have already | been constructed, six of which are still undergoing completion, amongst them the Helena, Wilmington and Nashville, United States gunboats The Creole, still on the ways, will be launched on the 11th instant. Work has been commenced on two new battleships, the yard at present em ploying a force of over 2,500 men. While this company was the lowest bidder, still it is understood that tbese contracts were awarded after due investigation and a practical demonstration to the naval department that the facilities afforded by the Newport News Company, its ample capacity and general equipment fully warranted the giving of the contracts. The obtaining of tbese contracts in position with the oldest and best equipped shipyards of the country speak volumes for the claims of this admirable shipyard I and the future of Newport News. Besides this, the fact that this dry dock is the only one to be found in the country where ships of such large capacity can be docked and overhauled. In order to meet the growing requirements of the yard the company has decided upon the construction of another and larger | dry dock. During the past year Messrs. "William and Hugh Caskey, two practical irrm and hrnc<5 WOrtprR. have estab- I lished near the shipyard a brass and iron foundry capable of furnishing any casting needed in modern shipbuilding. AmoDgst the other industries of Newport News are the Warwick Ironworks, which turns out a large number of ice machines, etc.; and ice factory, a knitting mill, several wood working mills and cigar factories. The city is lighted throughout by j electricity. Abundance of pure water is furnished by the Light and Water Company, the capacity of the reservoir being 480,000,000 gallons. An electric railway connects this city with Hampton, Old Point and Buckroe Beach. Three good, substantial [ banks flourish here, as do several hotels, amongst which the Warwick holds first rank. Almost all religious and beneficial and social orders are represented in this thriving city, and the secular education of the vouner people is well provided by the public and private schools. The business of the port of New; port News is continually increasing, | the exports for the year ending June 30tb, 1896, being valued at $14,825,624, and the custom house receipts, | from all sources during the same I period being $207,298,64.

"While I was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rivers Janction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them.

Women as See Heepers and Poultry Raisers. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Farmers wkes and daughters usually care for the poultry on the farm, and why not carry a few colonies of bees aloDg with them. I can truthfully say from ten years experience among the bees that with the movable frame hives and the pure bred Italian bees, we can make it pay a good profit on a very small investment. Let us see the practical part of it. Last year Mr. Paul Mabus and son purchased a colony from me and got from same three prime swarms and some honey. This year they have been able to get 100 pounds of good marketable honey from one stand. For this honey he gets 10 cents per pound, this makes him ten dollars and the mother stand as good as ever. I use the standard Longsroth, with all the latest improvements. It contains twenty-four one pound boxes to the crate. They often fill five of these crates to odo stand. This little box just suits the retail demand. With the pure bred Ital. ian we have no fear of the much dreaded bee moth. They are more easily handled; they make more honey; they are better defenders in every respect. This is the most neglected industry in all our land. Let us read up a little and be convinced. Mr. Mabus has now increased to eighteen stands. This year they have got hundreds of pounds of honey. Think of the beauty of having all this honey on the stands where moths nor wevils do not molest, we can just wait until the consumers call for it, and then it is not to weigh or measure but just blow a little smoke into the surplus boxes, take off and deliver and the work is done.

Once' while thus walking, he was overtaken by a certain carpet-bag Senator from one of the Southern States, who occupied the identical chair that Jefferson Davis had used while a member of the Senate. Walking alone by the side of Wade, he rubbed his back wearily and said: "Wade, these Senate chairs are the most uncomfortable things I ever saw. My back is positively blistered from sitting in mine." Wade looked at him for a moment, and, as he turned away, muttered: "Davis left enough brains in the seat of that chair to blister the backs of two or three such men as you are." , Not Equal to the Occasion.
