Heurv Ashbaucher of Marion, visit rt | his mother here a few days last week. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin convinces you of its merit the first dose ,ou take. Smith, Yager & Falk, j David Studabaker attended to business of an important nature at Fort Wayne last Friday. If Banner Salve doesn’t cure your piles, your money will be refunded. It is the most healing medicine. Holthouse, Callow & Co. j Letters at post office are for Tom Daniels, E. I. Gire, Wm. Glassett, Jermiah Seman, Bell Austuly, Dan Foss. Chapped hands, cracked lips and roughness of the skin cured quickly bv Banner Salve, the most healing ointment in the world. Holthouse, Callow A, Co. j Doctors are now reaping an unusual harvest of grip patients. Might as well be out of existence as out of fashion. It is fashionable to have the grip in season. Save doctors’bills by giving Folev's Honey and Tar to infants and children in time to prevent pneumonia or croup, which are fatal to so many thousands of babes. Holthouse, Callow & Co. j The Christian Scientists have attempted to persuade woman that their love of dress is imaginary and that rags are as good as fine raiment. Here, however, the system broke down. The most soothing, healing and antiseptic application ever devised is DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, it relieves at once and cures piles, sores, wvema and skin diseases. Beware of imitations. Smith, Yager & Falk. ts Low Rate of Interest. Money loaned at five per cent, interest, payable annually or semi-an-nually, at option of borrower, with privilege of partial payments at any interest paying time. No delay in making loans. F. M. Schirmeyer, Decatur, Ind. 9tf Kokomo has a cemetery sexton who has lieen thirty-four years in continuous service, in which time he dug 3,677 graves. He has not dug his own yet, Ithough, being 70 years old, he may reasonably expect it will be necessary ere long. Tried five doctors. Mrs. Frances L. Sales of Missouri Valiev, la., writes: “I had severe kidney Trouble for years, had tried five doctors without benefit, but three bottles of Foley’s Kidney Cure cured me.” Holthouse, Callow A Co. j Marconi stands in with Tesla as to the possibility of communicating with “other worlds than ours.” In an interview in London he said he did not consider communication with Mars impossible, provided the planet is inhabited. The matter of distance could be overcome. Pepsin preparations often fail to relieve indigestion because they can digest only albuminous foods. There is one preparation that digests all classes of food, ami that is Kodol Dvspepsia Cure. It cures the worst cases of indigestion and gives instant relief, for it digests what you eat. Smith, Yager <fc Falk. ts Winchester has three aged sisters, all of whom are now quite ill, having been seized with illness about the same time Mrs. Sarah Fox, aged eighty three; Mrs. Mary Boltz, who will be eighty-one, and Elizabeth Waltz, who will be eighty-two in February, They have another sister in the west who is eighty-five years old.

John Meibers was at Fort Wayne the latter part of last week looking after business. The groat and only Mephisto, Porter J. White, opera bouse, Wednesday, Feb,, (5. Quality and not quantity makes DeWitts Little Early Kisers such valuable little liver pills. Smith, Yager & Falk. t s J. K. Niblick made a business trip last week through the gas belt in the interests of his upholstering establishment. Such little pills as DeWitt’s Little Early Risers are very easily taken, and they are wonderfully effective in cleansing the liver and bowels. Smith. Yager & Falk ts Indian medicine men in the southwest, years ago tested the salt experiment for prolonging life. They also gave pepper a trial. They decided that pepper was the better of the two. After LaGrippe What? Usually a hacking cough and a general feeling of weakness. Foley's Honey and Tar is guaranteed to cure the “grippe cough” and make you strong and well. Holthouse, Callow & Co. j It has been estimated that in Indiana there is one physician to every 111 inhabitants. The relative number of physicians to the population is said to be greater in this state than in any other. LaGrippe coughs often continue for months and sometimes lead to fatal results alter the patient is supposed to have passed the danger point. Foley’s Honey and Tar affords positive protection from these coughs. Holthouse, Callow & Co. j Notice. All people owing the firm of DeVilbiss & Archbold are hereby notified to call at the office of Dr. Roy Archbold and settle same as soon as possible, either by cash or note. Miss Fanny DeVilbiss. 43tf

“Two Married Men” was the attraction at Bosse’s opera house Monday night and the show which was certainly above the average was greeted with a fair sized audience. They went from here to FortJWayne where appeared Tuesday night. Lingering LaGrippe Cough. G.

She tried a bottle of Foley’s Honey and Tar and it gave immediate relief.” Price 25c. and 50c. Holthouse, Callow & Co. j Marshall Willis traded 80 acres of land in Paulding county for 100 acres in Arkansas, and when he went to his new place found that another occupied it and that the deed he held was an old one and worthless. The sharpers disposed of the Paulding county farm, and Willis is out all around. This season there is a large death rate among children from croup and lung troubles. Prompt action will save the little ones life from these terrible diseases. We know of nothing so certain as One Minute Cough Cure. It can also to relied upon for grippe for all throat and lung troubles of adults. Pleasant to take, Smith, Yager & Falk. ts Paris is said to to the cleanest city in the world. Every morning 2,000 male and 600 female scavengers, divided into 149 brigades, turn out to perform the toilet of the capital. The men work from four in the morning till four in the evening, less two hours off for meals, or ten hours a day. The woman are engaged in the morning only. Bismarck's Iron Nerve Was the result of his splendid health. Indomitable will and tremendous energy are not found where stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels are out of order. If you want these qualities and the success they bring, use Dr. King’s New Life Pills. They develop every power of brain and body. Only 25c. at Page Blackburn’s drug store. MCMI is the accepted Roman numeration of the first year of the new century, though it looks rather odd in type.

Lutz was among the Decatur democrats who attended the inaugural ball of the Berne Club last Friday evening. , DeWitt, la. Pepsin Syrup Co. Gents: I cannot recommend Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin too highly. It has been a great benefit to me. Very truly, Ray Buckley. j English capitalists will erect a big factory in Louisiana to make paper out of “bagasse,” heretofore a wasted product of sugar cane.

They also cure disorders of the stomach, biliousness and headache. j The legislature is in session but nothing much has been accomplished as yet. It seems that most of the time to date has been devoted to a wrangle over the appropriations for pay of members and railroad passes. To the Deaf. A rich lady cured of her deafness and noises in the head by Dr. Nicholson’s Artificial Ear Drums, gave 810,000 to his Institute, so that deaf people unable to procure Ear Drums, may have them free. Address No. 261(5 The Nicholson Institute, 780 Eighth Avenue New York. 14yl There may have been a time when a man’s church membership or lodge connection was somewhat of an indication of his character, but such is not the case today. The best index today is to know personally whether or not he pays his honest debts and deals fairly with his fellowmen. Window Cliffs, Tenn., May 10, ’9B. I had been suffering a long time with liver and kidney trouble, and was unable to move myself in my bed. Finally I procured two bottles of Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm. As I finished the second I beba me able to go about my work as usual. I gladly recommend it. W. T. Marra. Sold by Holthouse, Callow & Co. j The grip, as has been observed before, is no respecter of person. It goes with the aristocrats as readily as with the plebeians. The grip can never become fashionable. It is not expensive, like appendicits. It does not show a line of ancestors who live well, like the gout. It is not interesting. It is simply a misery-working nuisance. It Saved His Leg. P. A. Danforth of Lagrange. Ga., suffered intensely for six months with a frightful running sore on his leg, but writes that Bucklen's Arnica Salve wholly cured it in ten days. For ulcers, wounds, burns, toils, pain or piles it's the tost salve in the world. Cure guaranteed. Only 25c. Sold by Page Bluckburn, druggist. There was recently exhibited in Paris a set of bed hangings manufactured in Madagascar from the silken threads produced by a species of large spider called the halabe. The threads are finer than those of the silkworm, and they can be spun and woven easily. The silk is of a brilliant, golden color. Each spider yields from 300 to 400 yards of thread at a time, and after ten days' rest is able to furnish as much more.

Mrs. Tom Thumb is now GO years of age, but is still bright and active. She is, however, Mrs. Tom Thumb no longer, having married again. Her present husband is Count Magri, who it is said was her first lover, and was thrown over by her for the sake of General Tom Thumb, whom she married in 1863. She was known on the stage as Lavina Warren, tint her real name was Miss Bump, and she was born in Middleborough, in Massachusetts. 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 years that she could not turn over in tod Talone. After using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully improved and able to do her own work.” This supreme remedy for female diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headache, backache, fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working med icine is a godsend to weak, sickly run down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents. Sold by Page Blackburn, druggist.

Wm. D. Hoffman, Trustee. 39m6 The automobile people will join hands with bible interests in order to bring about good roads in the country. The merited reputation of c iring piles, sores and skin diseases acquired by DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, has led to the making of worthless counterfeits. Be sure to get only DeWitt’s Salve. Smith, Yager <& Falk. ts Paulding has four cases of small pox, three at the homeof County Surveyor W. J. Johnson. The schools have been closed and the congregating of.people in public places is prohibited. J. A. Lambert, of Rachel, N. C., writes: “I heartily endorse Foley’s Kidney Cure. It does what you ciaim it to do, and there is nothing equal to it, and I thank you for the good it has done me.” Accept no substitute. Holthouse Callow & Co. j The Plymouth Democrat knocks the “13” superstition sky high by an assertion that a “13 club,” still in existence there, had its conception three years ago in a “13” feast and not a member has since died. When threatened by pneumonia or any other lung trouble, prompt relief is necessary, as it is dangerous to delay. We would suggest that One Minute Cough Cure to taken as soon as indications of having taken cold are noticed. It cures quickly and its early use prevents consumption. Smith, Yager It Falk. ts The dead sea, for thousands of years a forsaken solitude in the midst of the desert, and whose waves have been for centuries undisturbed, is now to be crossed by a line of motor-boats. A shorter route will thus to found between Jerusalem and Herak, the ancient capital of Moab.

The Mother’s Favorite. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the mother’s favorite. It is pleasant and safe for children to take and always cures. It is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough, aud is the best medicine for these diseases.
