This same-company is the manufacturer of Gold Dust, that well known article which the coal black twins have -done so much to advertise.

Cottolene is claimed tg be clean and pure Irom its origin to its completion, and is said to make food nutritious, delicious and healthful.

The Parham Bros.Supply Company last week bought at auction in a lump, the entire stock of goods of C. J. Hunt at South Boston, Va. This firm failed in business and made an assignment on the 24th of December. The 'stock inventoried 13,000, and is one of the cleanest, fiiif st stocks of goods to be found anywhere.

After making a personal inspection of the goods Messrs. Parham Bros, took advantage of the opportunity and bought the entire stock. They can well afford to sell them at cos't for they were bought considerably under the original factory cost. Without the removal of a' thing Messrs. Parham Bros, could easily, have disposed of these goods, profitably at South Boston, but they preferred to bring them to Henderson and give their trade the benefits of this great sacrifice sale.

Messrs. Hunt Co. had only beefl engaged in business three years and carried the largest and finest stock of goods in South Boston. Tin? last fall tliey bought 13,000 worth cf new g6ods, so it is not old. shopworn goods Messrs.

Our Druggist, Mr. W. W. Parker, Gives Some Suggestions We Vouch for His Sincerity. During the past few there has been a great deal of eteknesa of one kind and another in Henderson, largely ia-dnced by the recent r.nseasonable weather In speaking of this to Mr.

Parker, our leading druggist, the other day, he said: "Yes, there has been, and ia, a lot of sickness in the town, and while most people get over the acute stage rather quickly, it leaves the blood impoverished, and it is hard to regain lost vitality. The patient's strength ia depleted, the system generally demoralized and relapses are continually feared. "Theone thing to aid recOTery is to give the patient a blood building and strength restoring ton ic.one that will give strength to every organ in the body. truthfully," continued Mr. Parker, "I don't believe there is another remedy in the country -equal to our delicious cod liver oil preparation Vino), for making rich red blood, and up strength.

I say this from an' intimate knowledge of almost every medicine on the market, and after duly considering what Vinol is, and has done. Vinol contains every one of the bodybuilding, medicinal elements of cod liver oil, without one drop of oil to retard its work, and this with organic iron, which is a needful constituent for the blood, dissolved in a delicious tablewine, makes Vinol. It acts directly on the stomach, creates a healthy appetite, and enables the digestive organs to obtain tbe necessary elements to make' rich, red blood, healthy flesh and muscle tissue, and create strength, and you know what you are taking." Said Mr. Parker: "Such letters as this prove the value of Vinol after sickness:" Mr. Edgar A.

Howe, of Concord, N.H., writes that after being-confined to his bed for thirteen weeks with the grippe he was weak emaciated, all tonics seemed of no avail, but Vinol restored, in a marvelous manner, his strength, flesh and appetite. Mrs. C. II. Wardwell, of Lynn, writes that the measles left her little daughter with a cough and in ayery bad condition, but Vinol cured the cough and made her well.

Mr. John Emerson, of writes that after grippe, at seventy years of age, Vinol built up his strength and gave him new life. Mr. James Stuart, of Pittsburg, writes that after a severe fever he was weak and emaciated, but Vinol bnilthim up, made him strong and well. might go on quoting from hundreds of such letters," continued Mr.
