They cure constipation and sick headache just as sure as you take them. Page Blackburn. Girls, don’t assume a free and easy slangy way of talking to men to obtain popularity by being considered a “jolly girl.” They may appear to be amused, but in their hearts they do not approve; femininity is woman's chief charm to a man. Why is it that when a young lady pins a bouquet on the lapel of a young man's coat she usually turns her head to one side and tilts up her chin to look at it? The young man who doesn't tumble is so slow that he would be run over by a hearse.

The report that every husband who now kisses his wife must put a revenue stamp on her cheek, is not a fact. The government requires stamps to be used where profit wil] insure, and makes no vain revenue laws. Stamps are only used when a man kisses other men’s wives.

The doctors now say that he has completely recovered from his lethargy. Goal enough to take.- The finest of loaf sugar is used in the mantii facture of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the l oots used in its preparation give it a flavor similar tothat of maple syrup, making it very pleasant to take'. As a medicine for the cure of coughs, colds, lagrippe, croup and whooping cough it is unequaled by any other. It always cures, and cures quickly. For sale by Holthouse Callow & Co. s Greenville, Ohio, has a sensible idea. The citv police will, beginning with September 1, order all young girls who are in the habit of walking the street until late, to go home and stay there. The habit has Irecome entirely too strong and is a matter of much conversation among the people who come into the city. The practice should be stopped, even if severe measures have to be adopted. An exchange says of a man who pays for his paper in advance that he has never b j en sick a dav in his life, never had corns on his toes, or the toothache, his potatoes never rot. his oats never rust, the weasel never kills his chickens, the frost never kills his beans, his babies never cry at night and his wife never scolds, and he succeeds in serving three terms on the school board without being cussed.

The new Fair Store for tinware. About as small a piece of business as anything that has transpired during the war, was the sending of the 161st Indiana to Jacksonville, thus assuring them of being retained for garrison dutv in Cuba, while the National Guards and first volunteers must return to their homes. It is not very encouraging to the boys who have been drilling and spending their time for years in order to lie able to better do their duty when called upon. General Fitzhugh Lee gives it as his opinion that in course of a few years Cuba’s population will consist principally of Americans and that annexation to the United States is simply a question of time. He favors a military government until order can be restoied and life and property made secure. Then, and not till then, can civil government be of avail. General Lee understands the Cuban situation thoroughly. Chronic Diarrhoea Cured.- This is to certify that I have had chronic diarrhoea every since the war. I got so weak I could hardly walk or do anything. One bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured me sound well. J. R. Gibbs, Fincastle, Va.

Both Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Shaver are prominent farmers and reside near'Fincastle, Va. They procured the remedy from Mr. W. E. Casper, a druggist of that place, who is well acquainted with them and will vouch for the truth of their statements. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. s The rural free mail delivery in Delaware county is giving satisfaction. The Muncie Herald says: “The service which is said to be purely experimental, is proving of great benefit and the country folk cheerfully recommend it already as being satisfactory.

The new Fair Store for chinaware. Ten nillion Wheelman. It is stated by competent authorty that there are ten million people in America who are bicycle riders.

Three times as much in a 50 cent bottle. We sell it and guarantee it to give satisfaction or money refundal. Page Blackburn druggist. A few days ago a Whitley county farmer was boasting of his corn crop and the rapid growth it was making. He said he was out looking at a field and walked across it between two rows. When he turned around to go home he was unable to go back the same way. The corn had “shot out so rapidly that they interlocked completely blockading the way. Os course we didn’t say so to him, but we thought that Blanco’s reputation was in danger. During the first half of this year the Indiana G. A. R. has gained 343 new members. There were taken in by transfer 125 and by reinstatement 482, making a total gain of 950 members. There has been a loss by death of 292 members, by honorable discharge 17, by transfer 376 and by suspension 722, making a total loss of 1,296. During the six months there were organizal four new posts, while nine posts surrenderal their charters. This 'is a total loss of five posts ; There are at present in Indiana 4:>7 posts with a total membership of 18,166. The Newport News papers speak very complimentarily of the 160th Reg. One paper says: The men of the Indiana regiment are as gentlemanly and well behaved as any soldiers that ever passed through. Polite and courteous at all times, they have won the respect of all who have been thrown in contact with them, and the police officers speak in the highest terms of the boys from the west. It is a pleasure to have such soldiers as are in General Grant’s brigade encamped in the city, and it is hoped that the war department will see fit to send more of the same kind here. Beats the Klondike. Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville, Tex., has found a more valuable discovery than has yet bam made in the Klondike. For years he suffered untold agony from consumption, accompainal'by hemorrages; and was absolutely cural by Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption.cough and colds. He declares that gold isof little value in comparison with the marvelous cure: would have it,even if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle. Asthma, bronchitis and all throat and lung as-

sections are positively cured by Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption. Trial bottles free at Page Blackburn’s drug store. Regular sizesocents and SI.OO. Guaranteed or price refunded. Dr. M. F. Parrish of Monroe, was a business caller in town last Saturday. While here he made this office a pleasant call and renewed his subscription to the Democrat for another year. Keeps Folks Well. It is better to keep well than to get well,although when one is sick it is desirable to get well. When considered that eight-tenths of the ailments that afflict the American people are caused by constipation, we shall realize why it is that Baxter’s Mandrake Bitters “keeps folks well,” or if sick, enables them to get well. Baxters Mandrake Bitters cures constipation. Price 25 cents per bottle. Why not step in and get a bottle and by using it be assured of good health through the trying hot months. We sell it and guarantee it to give satisfaction or money refunded.- Page Blackburn, druggist.

Scrofula, a Vile Inheritance. Scrofula is the most obstinate of blood troubles, and is often the result of an inherited taint in the blood. S. S. S. is the only remedy which goes deep enough to reach Scrofula; it forces out every trace of the disease, and cures the worst cases. My son, Charlie, was afflicted from infancy with Scrofula, and he suffered so that it was impossible to dress him for three years. His head and body were a F > mass of sores, and his I g eyesight also became Ea affected. No treatment V it-A gs was spared that we A Jj 3r thought would relieve \ iff J /J? him. out he grew worse'.' V until his condition wasjffifc/y indeed pitiable. I badjyjg g \ almost despaired of ins ever being cured, when W J , by the advice of a friend VT_7 we gave him 8. S. S. P 1 (Swift’s Specific). Ade- V ' * cided improvement was the result, and after he had taken a dozen bottles, no one who knew of his former dreadful condition would have recognized him. All the sores on bis body have healed, his skin is perfectly clear and smooth, and he has been restored to perfect health. Mrs. S. S. Mabry. 360 Elm St.. Macon, Ga. For real blood troubles it is a waste of time to expect a cure from the doctors. Blood diseases are beyond their skill. Swift’s Specific, S.S. S.'S. Blood reaches all deep-seated eases which other remedies have no effect upon. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed purely vegetable, and contains no potash, mercury, or other mineral.
