Cough Kennedy.
During the early part of October, 1896, I contracted a bad cold, which settled on my lungs and was neglected until I feared that consumption had appeared in an incipient state. I was constantly coughing and trying to expel something which I could not. I became alarmed, and after giving the local doctor a trial bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and the result was immediate improvement, and after I had used three bottles my lungs were restored to their healthy state.—B. 8.

TOWNSHIP SCHOOL NOTES.
Miss Eva Wheeler, teacher at No. 4, h&s been sick this week. The average cost was $10.39 per pupil last year to carry on the schools in Indiana.
Brown's legislative bill to only psy teachers twice the sum of their license grade, 6eems to have been lost in the shuttle.
If one halt of the bill6 introduced in the legislature could become laws, concerning schools, teachers and school officers, there would be a worse tangle than there is in the wilds of Africa.
One legislator now wants to have teachers to teach the causes and remedies for colds, smallpox, and all contageous diseases, and another one wants teachers to be required to see that children are washed, bathed and kept clean.
One legislator thinks that the average G-year-old pupil in the country schools has a vast more knowledge of agriculture than the majority of the teachers, and Senator Gill 6ays that the only practical way to teach agriculture is to put the boy on a farm.
The pupils at No. 2, Frank Stout teacher, have adopted music as a regular study, and they are making wonderful progress and without any interference with the regular studies. Music tends to elevate, ennoble,and is a regular cyclone iu dispersing dullness and relieving a tired brain.

This freezing weather according to advices received from good people and not those who grow wheat beside a steam radiator in Chiicago, will greatly damage the wheat from the fact that it has no snow covering. Of course the chronic bear sits beside a cocktail in Chicago and with the temperature at 99 and says "sell wheat," while the fellow that raises it and knows something about it is buying it ju6t the same and holding it. Minneapolis and St. Louis, two of the best cities in the world to follow, bought wheat all day, while local talent and New York sold it. Buy July wheat on all soft spots and hold it. It will sell at SO cents, and that at no distant time. Corn steady. Provisions somewhat weaker.

The "Old Fiddlers' Contest" was largely attended, but there wa6 a scarcity of fiddlers from our vicinity, although there are a great many about her*-. The hall was full and 822 was taken in. All went quite pleasantly until a little accident caused by crowd jarring the house and causing a post in the store room below 10 break through aboard that had been carelessly placed under it. It was nothing serious, although at the time it caused considerable excitement. The hall is a good substantial building, no one need ever fear to be in there, no odds how great the crowd. There are a few soft heads about here who have made their brags that they would boycott the hall,and they tried it the night of the contest but the few tbey coaxed away were never missed at the hall.
I read in the letters from other places of literary societies being organized and carried on as thev snould be. How much we need one hare. A good literary well conducted is a great credit to a community. Tfce young people aB well as the old can learn so much About 30 years ago literary societies were carried to a great degree, both old and young taking active part. Ben Vaughn was a prominent member and a worthy one. Robert Gilkey was another. Hamilton Grimes and wife were active members Frank and Wm. Bolser, in fact all the girls and boys of that day were great workers for their literary society. Such men as J. M. Simpson, Addison Gilkey, J. L. Truax, Marion Watson, John Ellis, John Copner and others all took delight in making their literary one that would leave its mark of go.od results, long after those members were dead The members met every Tuesday ni^ht of each week. There was much good feeling existing and hand shaking was their greeting as well as pleasant words. No fun-making or slurring each other behind the back. Debates every two weeks was one of the chief attractions. Papers were read. The society opened with singing. Declamations were given in great Btyle. There was plenty of talent but we have the talent now. There are good men here for such work Will White, Flint Lee, Samuel Gilkey and numerous others. Invite all the teachers from country schools as they did then. It will give the young people something to do that will benefit them in after life. It will set them to studying instead of playing useless games that never can be a benefit to them in any manner. Why not organize a literary for three months in the empty school room and close the society with a grand piay. This is written by one who was a member of the society 30 years ago.

Oh, the Pain of Rheumatism!
Rheumatism often causes the most intense suffering. Many have for veara vainly sought relief from this disabling disease, and are to-day worse off than ever. Rheumatism is a blood disease, and Swift's Speci'ic is the only cure, because it is the only remedy which can reach such de«"p-seated diseases.
A few years ago 1 wns taken with Inflammatory Rheumatism, which became so intense that 1 was for weeks unable to walk. I tried several prominent physlcinns and took their treatrticnt faithfully, but was unable to get the slightest relief. In fact, my con. dltion seemed to grow worse, the disease spread over my entire body, and from November to March
I suffered agony. 1 tried many patent medicines, but none relieved me. Upon the advice of a friend I decided to try
8. 8. S. Before allowing me to take it, however, my guardian, who was a chemist, analyzed the remedy, and pronounced it free
ot
potash or mercWf. I felt so much better after taking two bottles, that I continued the remeiiy. and In two months I was cured completely. The euro as permanent, for I have never since had a touch oi Rheumatism though many times exposed to damp and cold weather.
