E. CAUGHMAN, Town Treasurer. A Letter from Virginia. To ibe E Jiu>r of the Disbatch: This letter leaves our little crowd well. Occasionally only has there b -en a rhuifOHtie ache. We are porrv to he-?r of the trouble with smallpox hi home. We bad a delightful trip in the j country last Sunday. A small church j of eb ut. twenty five memberB about I three mues < f? is perved by the pas| tor of toe church here. The drive, I especially at this seasoD, is fine. It j had iau. ed the night before, and the i Tiuiotbv ijliendows and wheat fields * ' were be*o.;fn) to behold. Mountains | are in tit. nit the time. The road is at the; to't and the liitle stream at | our side is clear as crystal. The j springs aDd milk houses, with cattle half knee deep in grass, make a picture. We went out in two buggies. Had attended our Sunday ! school here, preached out there at 11 o'clock, went to Sunday school there in the afternoon and came back here for service at night. But I started to tell about what we eat up here. What do you suppose we had for dinner one day last week? You know who ate grass like an ox? So do we. We had a delicious (?) dish of salad made of the leaves of the following flowers aDd weeds: Dandelion, dock, lamb's quarter, pepper grass and water cress. These all grow wild. I asked Mrs. B when we wouid have rag weeds and dog fennels. Salad out of polk leaves is a delicacy. Weil, one mess in 39 years isn't so bad. You must not take this as indicating the Virginia diet. They live web. Almost every vegetable thrives here. Chickens and eggs are abundant. Fine cows, hogs and sheep are seen on almost every mountain side. Apnleo anri nherrioq are nn their native r ? - ? beatb here. Tbere are almost no peaches though, and no watermelons. Also, in the garden we find no okra. Rhubarb and apple butter are abundant and highly prized. Things are about three weeks later here than with you?I almost said at home. We had three hens and forty-three "biddies" given us yesterday, with more .to follow. So if they have yellow lege, we hope to live well later on. Kind wishes to all. S. C. B. Rural Retreat, Va, May 9,1905. Election in Leesville. The State. Leesville, May 9 ?Yesterday the new town officers were elected as follows: Dr. D. M. Crosson, mayor for third term; councilmen, H. A. Meetze, H. F. Hendrix, J. L. Matthews and E. P. Wet J. L. Kinard, clerk. They were immediately Bworn in and their first act was to institute a strict quarantine against smallpox. The board of health recommended the establishment of a pest house for the care of any case that might appear. Another important act was the granting of a franchise to the Bell telephone for the establishment of an exchange in town. The local service was not giving satisfaction; hence the franchise. How to Ward Of -Old Age. The most successful way of warding off the approach of old age is to maintain a vigorous digestion. This can be done by eating only food suited to your age and occupation, and when any disorder of the stomach appears take a dose of Chamber* Iain's Stomach and Liver Tablets to correct it If you have a weak stomach or are troubled with indigestion, you will find these Tablets to be j ust what you need.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound A great many women suffer with a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which does not seem to yield to ordinary treatment. While the symptoms seem to be similar to those of ordinary indigestion, yet the medicines universally prescribed do not seem to restore the patient's normal condition. Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a derangement of the female organism, and which, while it causes a disturbance similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without a medicine which not only acts as a stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects also. As proof of this theory we call at V^ULXjLKJU. iAJ 1/11C tO/OC U1 :UIO. XVJLCL^ g 1C Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y., who was completely cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after everything else had failed. She writes: " For two years I suffered with dyspepsia which so degenerated my entire system that I was unable to attend to my daily duties. I felt weak and nervous, and nothing that I ate tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures, but nothing seemed to help me. I was advised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial, and was happily surprised to find that it acted like a fine tome, and in a few days I began^to enjoy and properly digest my food. My recovery was rapid, and in five weeks I was a well woman, l have recommended it to many suffering women." No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorseraent.or has such a record of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. i ^ .?
