Mr. John Tippis, Colton, 0., says: ‘.Foley’s Honey and Tar cured my little girl of a severe cough and inflamed tonsils.” Holthouse, Callow Ac Co. j Why hello, comrade, still alive, eh. and able to march another decor ation. What a bully constitution you must have.” “Yes, siree.” was the reply; “I’ve got no kick to make on my constitution. It still follows the flag.” Thos. W. Carter of Ashboro, N. C., hail kidney trouble and one bottle of Foley's Kidney Cure effected a per feet cure, and he says there is no remedy that will compare with it. Holt house, Callow & Co. j The postal department of the government is endeavoring to cut off the circulation of fake newspapers at the pound rate which are sent out exclu sively for advertising purposes. It ought to have done so years ago. What two cents will do. It will bring relief to sufferers from asthma or consumption, even in the wor s cases. This is about what one dose of Foley’s Honey and Tar costs. Isn’t it worth a trial? Holthouse, Callow Ac Co. j An exchange says a man was brought into justice court a few days ago in White county, charged with pounding his wife over the head with a door. The justice promptly released him, exclaiming that a man has a jierfect right to adore his wife. Jas. G. Amerthoff. Della, 0., writes; "I had an obstinate sore on my face which everything else failed to heal. After one application of Banner Salve it began to heal and after three applications it was entirely healed leav ing no scar... Holthouse, Callow Ac Co. j An exchange well says that some people are never interested in the paper you are running unless you abuse somebody. Then they want to see how dastardly you can write. After a moment's meditation nine tenths of the readers conclude that the editor is by far the biggest fool and the meanest of the two. “1 am indebted to One Minute Cough Cure for my present good health and my life. I was treated in vain by doctors for lung trouble fol lowing la grippe, I took One Minute < ’ough Cure and recovered my health.” Mr. E. H. Wise, Madison, Ga. Smith, Yager Ac Falk. j The "hobo” no longer makes Kansas the scene of his exploits. A law of the last lesislature makes it a mis demeanor to steal a ride on a train. A few years ago Kansas was a paradise for tramps, but thislawandan avowed purpose of the authorities to compel them to work in the harvest fields, have caused them to leave. A postmaster writes: “I wish to add my testimony to the genuine merit of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. I have tried many remedies but have found your Syrup Pepsin superior to all other laxatives and stomach inedi vines. My wife and I both use it and know it does all that you claim for it. Yours sincerely, C. 0. Kiuue, Alma, Kansas., Dec. 22, 1900. Sold by Smith. Yager it Falk. j An observing farmer is responsible for the following: “If you pass a farm and see a large barn and a small house yon may know that the man is boss, when you see a fine house and a small barn you may understand that the woman has things her own way, and when you see a big barn and nice house you may take it for granted that the man and women are equal and work together in harmony. You can never cum dyspepsia by dieting. What your body needs is plenty of good food properly digested. Then if your stomach will not digest it, Kodol D_, spepsia Cum will.

The piles that annoy you so will be quickly and permanentlv healed if you use DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. Beware of worthless counterfeits, smith, Yager & Falk. j The hen that leaves her nest after a day s sitting because she does not hear the chirp ofchicks is somethin<? like the merchant who quits advertisa ‘ ter first calls have not filled his store with clamoring customers. It is easier to keep well than to get cured. De\\ itt s Little Early Risers taken now and then, will always keep your bowels in perfect order. They never gripe but promote an easy and gentle action. Smith, Y’ager Ac Falk, j An Anderson eccentric died last week and on the day following his death one of his sons dug up §IO,OOO in gold which the old man had buried under a tree in his yard on West Ninth street. The story must be true for the Anderson Herald says so. A Poor Millionaire Lately starved in London because he could not digest his food. Early use of Dr. King's New Life Pills would have saved him. They strengthen the stomach, aid digestion, promote assimilation, improve appetite. Price 25c. Money back if not satisfied Sold by Page Bl ackburn druggist, j An exchange says if farmers would follow these instructions they need never go to the expense of dehorning their cattle. Buy a five cent stick of potash and when the little horns make signs of starting on the calf rub with the caustic stick and that calf will never know that nature intended it should have horns. She Didn't Wear a Mask. But herbeatuty was completely hidden by sores, blotches and pimples till she used Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. Then they vanished as well as all eruptions, fever sores, lioils, ulcers, carbuncles and felons from its use. Infallible for cuts, corns, burns, scalds and piles. Cure guaranteed. 25c at Page Blackburn’s. j The baseball face, the football face, the political face and various other kinds of faces are all familiar faces. The latest face to come under observation is a sheep face. It is described as long drawn down, chin resting on the breast bone, eyes sunken, complexion sallow, turning to a crimson with an imbecile expression when near a sheep. Principally seen on republicans. "I wish to truthfully state to you and the readers of these few lines that your Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is with out question, the best and omly cure for dyspepsia that I have ever come in contact with and I have used many other preparations.” John Beam, Middlesex, Pa. No other preparation equals Kodol Dyspepsia Cure as it contains all the digestants. It will digest all kinds of food and can’t help but do you good. Smith, Yager & Falk. j A. L. Johnson, the Muncie millionaire, is behind the electric trolly line from Muncie to Ft. Wayne. Last night the council granted him a fifty year franchise. The cars used are to be of the latest improved style and propelled by electricity, compressed air or other suitable power. The track is to be of standard guage.

Page Blackburn. ts Young men, there is one thing you cannot do. You cannot make a success in hfe unless you work. Better men than you have tried it and failed. Y’ou can’t loaf around street corners, saloons, tell fool stories, smoke, drink and sponge on someone else without making a complete failure of life. You must learn a trade or get into some honest business. If you don’t you will be a chronic loafer, despised by all, producing nothing, simply making yourself a burden to your parents or the state. There is no place in the world for loafers. Cure Your Dyepepelu. The foul breath of a dysjieptic person is enough to drive away all their friends. And to know that it can so easily be cured makes it all the more intolerable. Bailev's Laxative Tablets bring quick relief, followed by a permanent cure, if persisted in. Try them today and you will feel like a new person. They are chocolate coat ed and one is taken after each meal. They aid digestion, by assisting na tore in extracting all the nourishment from the food. Your food does not do you any good unless digested. I ndigested food decays and poisons the system. Price 25 cts. Made by Lakeside Med. Co., Chicago. Sold by Page Blackburn.

Come early and avoid the rush. G. W. Archbold Ac Son. 16-4 Science has found that rheumatism is caused by uric acid in the blood This poison should be excreted bv the kidneys. Foley’s Kidney Cure always makes them well. Holthouse. Callow Ac Co. j A Weight on the Mind Is often made heavier by over rich food. Dyspepsia finds no place in the family where Fox’s “Forex” Crackers are used as an article of diet. These crackers have the fresh wheaty flavor so much appreciated by people of cultivated palates. 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.

Schirmeyer, Decatur, Ind. 9tf A neighboring exchange tells of a man who purchased six large cucumbers. and a dime’s worth of limburger cheese, and, repairing to a liquid refreshment dispensary, ate the entire outfit, topping it off with three glasses of beer. The man was still alive at last reports.

The number of admissions to the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo has passed the two million mark, and the management have hopes that the figures will reach ten millions before the show goes out of business on the 31st of October. Huntington capitalists have organized a knitting mill company with a capitalization of §30.000. A building 150x50 of brick, two stories high, will be erected, and thev will engage in the manufacture of hosiery and all kinds of knit goods. The mill will employ from 50 to 100 hands. “Old fools are the worst fools,” is an old adage, all being “syntaxed” in the superlative degree. But the Chi cago Record Herald instinutes degrees of comparison when it declared that “an old man babbling of love is not half so ridiculous as an old woman who limps because her shoes are too small.” Articles have been signed for a fistic bout to be pulled off at Muncie, between George Monroe, of New York, and Gus Bezeuah, of Cincinnati. The men are to meet before the interurban club on the night of Thursday, July 18. The men are to weigh in at 116 pounds and will go twenty rounds for a decision. You are born intb the world- see a small portion of the earth and sky; learn a few truths; have a few thoughts and feelings; an inspiration; an ambition; a joy; a disappointment. The curtain falls and a few follow the body to the tomb while the world knows not that you lived or died. A brief span of time and the marble epitaph will too lie beneath the sod. Bees broke up a funeral at the Salem graveyard east of Kokomo theother day. With undertaker Dimmitt, of Kokomo, in charge a child was hieing buried. As the body was being lowered thousands of bees attacked the mourners at the graveside. The at teudants He«l panic-stricken and it was not until after dark the sexton could return and fill the grave. Many persons are puzzled to understand what the terms “fourpenny,” “sixpenny” and “tenpenny” means as applied to nails. “Fourpenny" nails or "sixpenny" means six pounds to the thousand and so on. It is an old English term and meant at first “tenpounds" nails (the "thousand” being understood), but the old English clipped it to "ten pun,” and from that it degenerated until "penny" was substituted for "pounds." A grandmother at twenty-six is the unique distinction of Airs. Mary Campbell, who lives in the mountain district of western North Carolina, and is about as far from civilization as one can get in this part of the world. Mrs. Campliell married when eleven years old. She was the mother of a daughter when but twelve, and her eldest child now has liecome a mother. Mrs. Campbell has had nine children. Hon. Wm. Cumback, well known to Decatur citizens, has re-married. Mr. Cumback is seventy two years of age. The bride is about twenty five years his junior, and for the past six teen years has lieen the principal of the school at the Knightstown Soldiers’ and Saliors Orphans’ Home, where Mr. Cumback met her. She has high scholastic and literary attainments, and is a devout member of the Methodist church. Heartburn. When the quantity of food taken is too large or the quality too rich heartburn is likely to follow, and especially so if the digestion has been weakened by constipation. Eat slowly and not too freely of easily digested food. Masticate the food thoroughly. Let six hours elapse lie tween meals and when you feel a fullness and weight in the region of the stomach after eating, indicating that you have eaten too much, take one of , Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets and the heartburn may lie avoided.

Smith, Yager A; Falk. j While standing at a window at his place of residence Saturday night above his printing office, Editor Sharp of the Wabash Star, was shot at by some unkown person.

Coroner Morgan rendered a verdict in the accidental killing of the Mosher children at Huntington,by a Wabash passenger train. In part it reads: "Was an act of carelessness on the part of the father of the children in inducing them to take this route after they had protested to him of his danger, and in that they could have gone byway of a street. The Marion Tribune says “prosecute the spitters.” What would be the matter with est ablishing a spittoon route along the public streets and engage a public spittoon cleaner. Great gobs of threshed out tobaccoand pools of juicv spittal as pavement “frescoing" are abhorred by the ladies. It is truly annoving to ladies whose skirts are soiled by tobacco spittal. A man who nas evidently been there and knows whereof he speaks, asserts that men never have as much difficulty in getting the matrimonial consent of girls as is claimed in novels, and is never as happy after marriage as the novels picture him. We can have sympathy for the wife of such a man, and yet hesitate about marrying his widow. An Indiana editor says if his town had about sixteen funerals it would lie a better town, supplementary add ing, “but there is a law against murder, and the croakeis outlive the hustlers.” The undertaker had better get out his embalming material and commence on that editor, lest he become mortified and deposit a stench in town that would kill off the hustlers.

I think you need a little sand in your system.” Bluffton has a preacher who is a be liever in advertising and has arranged for space in local papers in which to set forth reasons why people should attend services at his cnurch. It will depend upon him whether they become regular attendants or not. An advertisement is intended merely to attract people to one's place of busi ness.

Ray Center, N. D.. March 21. 1898. For years I have been troubled with inflammatory rheumatism, and last winter was confined to my bed helpless. I began taking Dr. J. H. Me Lean’s Liver and Kidney Balm and applied locally the Yolcanic Oil Lini ment and was completely cured. J. Allison. For sale by Holthouse, Cal low & Co. j One of the richest men whom we know, speaking of wealth in its largest and best sense, is a man who onlv owns a little 40 acre farm. He has health, a wife and children of whom any man might be proud, keeps a little fine stock and poultry, farms his land well and gets the best crops. He is a reader and thinker, and his life is broad and useful. He could not be happier had he 1,000 acres. Harrison County Democrat. White Man Turned Yellow. Great consternation was felt by the friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexington, Ky., when they saw he was turning yellow. His skin slowly changed color, also his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His malady was yellow jaundice. He was treated by the best doctors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful stomach and liver rem edy and he writes: "After taking two bottles I was wholly cured.” A trial proves its matchless merit for all stomach, liver and kidney troubles.
