Holthouse, Callow A Co. d A Tennessee authority has ruled that “Jewhillikins” is swearing. May be it is: but any full-grown man who wastes time with such a word while there are so many others which fits the requirements better, can I be bad enough to do much wrong with it.

Small, sugar coated, don’ gripe or cause nausea. Page Blackburn. The eventful year of 1898 is now within a few weeks of simply being a memory, vet few people seem to realize the’fact. In the matter of history making the year 1898 will probably lead all other years in the last decade of the closing century. No Humbug. Foley’s Honey and Tar does notelaim to preform miracles. It does not claim to cure all eases of consumption or asthma but it does claim to give comfort and relief in advanced stages of these diseases and to usually cure early stages. It is certainly worth trying by those afflicted or threatened with these dread diseases. Holthouse, Callow & Co. d The President receives an average of 1,700 letters a day.

A fire is lighted underneath, and the tar slowly drips into the barrels placed to receive it.

Don’t throw your old white shirts and white cotton socks away any more. Save them up and sell them for smokeless powder. The discovery has been made that these castaway things are the very best things from which to manufacture the smokeless powder of commerce, and there are not enough of them to supply the demand. Albert Musser says that he will have no difficulty in proving his innocence of the charge of robbery on which the Madison county grand jury indicted him. He claims that he did not rob the Chinaman at Alexandria. He says that the only crime they can convict him on in that case is plain assault and battery.
