This publication has forged to the front with a rapidity and certainty without parallel in magazine history and the ability of its editors to keep up the pace is evidenced in the contents table of the August issue. “Josiar,” said Mrs. Corntossel, 'what is thee ueglijay shirts 1 see advertised in the bargain sales?” “Well, thsv ain't quite so prim and starchy as a b’lled shirt that is to say a reg ular hard b’lled shirt.

Since an arrest for playing ball on the street the numerous evening games in various parts of town have been suspended. You should arrange to attend the grand open air circus and ye olden time Harvest Day to be given here August 2nd and 3rd. The event of the season is announced. Over at \\ arsaw a small silver mine was recently discovered. Wm. Allen was employed in the construction of the sewer system, and while digging some three feet below the surface he uncovered an old tin can. which proved to contain SIOO in silver. The coins bear date ranging from 1870 to 1876. Quite a stir has been started at Ridgeville by the Indianapolis Journal's story of Dr. Hurty, who, according to the Journal, says he saw a man standing on the street at Ridgeville picking open the small-pox postules on another man’s face. The story is denied bv both the Dr. and citizens of Ridgeville. The Same Old Story. J. A. Kelly relates an experience similar to that which has happened in almost every neighborhood in the United States, and has been told and re told by thousands of others. He says: “Last summer I had an attack of dysentery and purchased a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I used according to directions and with entirely satisfactory results. The trouble was controlled much quicker than former attacks when I used other remedies.” Mr. Kelly is a well known citizen of Henderson, S. C. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co, j

See the Walloon ascension and other attractions at Decatur August 2nd and 3rd. Mr. and’Mrs. Frank Christen arrived hWne Tuesday evening from Little Rock, Arkansas, where they have berm for several months. They will make their future home here. The improvements at Jeff Bryson’s home on Fifth street are nearing completion and makes it one of the prettiest as well as most convenient residences in Decatur. Among the additions is a large front porch, which is odd, yet most atractive. There’s nothing in the human dis position that kills as many people as worry. It is the secret cause of the condition of nine-tenths of the sick people, the nervous folk, the insane. It makes men weak, cowardly, it makes women hysterical, and saddest of all it turns the heart away from God and bids it worship the idol of despair. Dr. George Ewing, a practicing physician of Smith’s Grove, Ky„ for over thirty years, writes his personal experience with Foley’s Kidney Cure. “For years I have been greatly bothered with kidney trouble and enlarged postrate gland.' I used everything known to the profession without relief, until I was induced to try Foley's Kidney Cure. After using three bot ties I was entirely relieved and cured. I prescribe it now daily in my practice and heartily recommend its use to all physicians for such troubles, for I can honestly state I have prescribed it in hundreds of cases with perfect success”.

Sam Jones at Rome City, Saturday July 27. Miss Minnie Martin of Montpelier. Ohio, arrived Tuesday afternoon and will be the guest of Miss Grace Peterson and other friends for several days. The hopes of Marion citizens that the Standard Oil Co., would move its headquarters for this field to that city have been crushed. The Standard is building a new 35,000 barrel tank at Montpelier and it is not at all probable that the offices will be changed from Montpelier. A neighbor wh6 takes a paper comes in handy sometimes to people who do not take a paper themselves. A Huntington News Democrat subscriber tells how his neighbor learned of the death of a relative through reading his pa per. The bereaved hired a carriage and attended the funeral. He was unaware of the death until he borrowed the paper. Good Advice. —The most miserable beings in the world are those suffering from dyspepsia and liver com plaint.

Since every bride is said to be beautiful, it is a mystery where all the plain-looking married women come from. “Stretch” is the name of a drink which is very popular in New England. It is composed of a mixture of water, hard cider and whiskey, and three drinks are enough to put a man in shape to be carried home on a stretcher. Portland Review. Anyone living in this community who imagines that those who live in the largest cities have any particular advantage over them in the matter of amusements may be assured that there is one element of enjoyment that is quite as available to people living in the smaller townsand cities as to those whose home is in the metropolis. Reference is made to the circus. There is but one circus that exhibits in New York City the Adam Forepaugh & Sells Brothers’ consolidated shows. This year they exhibited at Madison Square Garden and then went to Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and Boston, where they repeated the enormous success they had made in New York. It was the opinion of all the New York newspapers that this show this year was by far the best circus that had ever been seen in the motropolis. There are countless features in the show, all dt which are exhibited on tour through thecountry precisely the same as they were in New York. Owing to the extraordinary magnitude and magnificence of these consolidated shows, the railroads desiring to give the people living along their line an opportunity to see them, will make low excursion rates to them when they ] exhibit at Van Wert, Ohio, Aug. 2.
