There is laughter for the laughable, music for the musical and much to commend and patronize in the performance of “A Breezy Time.’ When your sweetheart gets smart and commences to tell you all he knows just ask him to write the following dictation and see the result thereof: “As Hugh Hughes was hewing a yule-long from a yew tree, a man dressed in clothes of a dark hue came up to Hugh and said: ’Have you seen my ewes? If you will wait until I hew this yew, I will go anywhere in Europe with you to look for your ewes.” Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a slave was made free. He says: “My wife has been so helpless for five vears that she could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully improved and able to do her own work.” This supremo remedy for female diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headache, fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents. Sold by Page Blackburn druggist. Where the Honey Goes.

An exchangs says don’t try to cross the tracks in front of the fast trains. They are moving at the rate of a mile a mninte An ordinary horse takes fully a half a minute in pulling a vehicle across the track, unless the animal is urgedjat the top of his speed. Even then a train a quarter of a mile distance from you approaching the crossing would be onto you crushing your rig, and if not killing you, you will have a narrow escape. A Wonderful Cure of Diarrhoea. A prominent Virginia editor had almost given up, but was brought back to perfect health by Chamberlain’s Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. From the Times Hillstille, Y’a. I suffered with diarrhoea for a long time and thought I was past being cured. I had spent much time and money and suffered so much misery that I had almost decided to give lip all hopes of recovery and await the result, but noticing the advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and also some testimonials stating how some wonderful cures had been wrought by this remedy, I decided to try it. After taking a few doses I was entirely well of that trouble, and I wish to say further to my readers and fellow sufferers that lam a hale hearty man to-day and feel as well as I ever did in my life. -().
