Each side will no doubt put in good licks this week, though neither has announced its program. The drys will have several public meetings, However. So far there have been no serious conflicts and opinion as to the result seems to htnge on whether you ask a “wet” or a "dry.” i. n .i. i "'i Two more weeks of legislature and they ought to be real busy ones if the promises are to be kept.

Adams county is proud of her showing in the district spelling contest. Two firsts and one alternate is certainly taking her share, and only proves that Adams gets what she goes alter.

Both the contestants who will represent us at that time and place, Marion Michaels and Clara Gilbert, reside in Monroe township. We congratulate them, as well as their teacher and Superintendent Opliger. LIFE SAVED AT DEATH'S DOOR. “I never relt so near my grave,” writes W. R. Patterson, of Wellington, Tex., as when a frightful cough and lung trouble pulled me down to 100 pounds, in spite of doctor’s treatment for two years. My father, mother and two sisters died of consumption, and that I am alive today is due solely to Dr. King’s New Discovery, which completely cured me. Now I weigh 187 pounds and have been well and strong for years.” Quick, safe, sure, it’s the best remedy on earth for coughs, colds, lagr-ppe, asthma, croup, and ail throat and lung troubles. 50c and >I.OO.
