After a careful reading of the Greencastle Water Works com pane's charter, we fail to find any | rule whereby the citizens of Greenj castle may be compelled to asscin- | ole on the streets and w ith wide • open mouths breathe awav the accumulation rtf dust us it accumulates each day on the streets. If this plan suits the “convenience’’ of the Greencnstlc Water Works co.n puny, the company might as well try to enforce it as to sav what hours their customers may sprinkle away the dust. Greencastle people' are rather lartre lunged and there is plenty of good lime stone dust in the city, so by all means let’s j have a dust breathing contest each day. It might be hard on the dust i but perhaps it would suit that ex ceedingly fastidious and delectable convenience ot the Water Works' company. Let’s breathe Yr.

Ai the time the Greencastle Water Works ordinance was before the city council the first ward was represented by two democrats, Jacob Ixutlitr and 1). L. Peters, both since deceased. Mr. Ratliff opposed the ordinance, fighting it hard and persistently. Mr. Peters favored it and voted for it. There was a time in the history of its passage when there was doubt as to what would be the outcome; but three votes could be mustered for it, and it looked as if it would fail in toto. Who furnished the fourtli vote? A democrat. Mr. Peters, and the records show this fact. We have nothing to say against Mr. Peters' official life, as tie is dead, but we do make the statement that republicans were not wholly responsible for our water works charter. The citizens of Greencastle should not take a mere political buncombe statement of democratic newspapers as a fact. Facts and democracy do not consist. They should determine their rights by making a test case, and we believe they will explode a very gauzy

VVorthloH* >1 a tori i'll. It has been suggested by a water consumer that the new rules of the Gn cncastle Water Works company show a very shrewd move not apparent at first glance, it costs no little sum for a water renter to prepare for the service. The first year he takes water, in addition to his rental, he has to pay tor his pipes, excavation, fixtures, etc. When the citizens of Greencastle first contracted for the water service they were told that they would he given four hours of sprinkling privilege, but they were not told that they would he compelled to take such privilege at the hours the company might dictate. They are now ordered to use their hose at certain inconvenient hours. If the Greencastle Water Works company wanted tc play fair, why didn’t it incorporate these rules in its charter or state to an applicant that they would at this time make such a rule 9 Had they done so, they are smart enough to know that a majority of the people who have contracted in the past years would not now he customers of the company. The result of the above adroit move is that many citizens who do not propose to abide by present rules have a lot of worthless material, pipes, hose and nozzles on hands that they would not have hut for the present arbitrary rule of the company. This point is well taken and there is no element of fairness in the company’s move. A good question to lire at the company, its representatives and its right and left bowers—the democratic papers—is, “why wasn’t the hour rule made at the beginning?”
“Now that house cleaning is upon us, I know that with Hood’s Sarsaparilla to help, we’ll pass through that trial all right.” Mrs. Helen Hiscef.d, Tully, New York. “I take flood’s Sarsajmrilla every spring, and it is tneonly medicine I use through the year. It enables me to do my house cleaning and farm work ail through the summer. It helped me very much for palpitation of the heart. I think Hood's Sar•apariila is the medicine for everyone, and all who take it will never be without it hav* also used Hood's Pills and they are the best I over tried.” Mrs. F. H. Andrews, South Vr’jodsto»k, Conn.

The least exertion would tire me out. ■ Going up one fl : lit of stairs would make my bean k; beat at a terrible rate. I was induced to take | Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and now, after taking lese lhar K two bottles, the pains and aches have all left me. 1 I have only had a slight headache once since, W Hood’s Sarsaparilla gave me a good appetite, and I ■ can now do a hard day’s work.” Miss Elsie

“ My nerves were in such a condition the closing of a door was sufficient to throw me iuto a spell of trembling wuich would last for hours. This was after a severe attack of the grip, w hich shattered my health. 1 could not sleep, my food distressed me, and I had darting pains through my shoulders and back. At the suggestion of a friend I tried Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Af.er taking one bottle, my food no longer distressed me, and my nerves were quieted. Have taken three bottles and I am cured. The asthma trouble, from which I have not been free for years, has entirely disappeared. Hood’s Sarsn^arilia has done wonders for me, and I am glad to recomraed it highly.” Mrs. Lucinda HustelL, North Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
“My health has been poor for a good many yean before I began to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Finally 1 decided to take Hood’s and can honestly say that It has done me more good than any and all uthai treatments. 1 was troubled with dyspepsia, food distressed me, and 1 bad but little appetite, wu weak and nervoua. In fact my trouble bordered on nervous prostration, from which I had previously suffered. I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla last summer and it did me ever so much good. It does not seem as though I am the same person. My appetite is greatly improved, 1 am less nervous, have more strength and a can eat heartily without distress Such a condition was unknown to me before takini; Hood’s Sarsaparilla.” Mrs. Q. C.

A PLEASANT OCCASION.
The Presbyterian I.inlies Receive the
llembesR of Miseioiinry Societies. Greencastle is becoming quite famous
for its elegant social functions. As there are all sorts and conditions of men. so are there all sorts of receptions; and the ladies of the Presbyterian church may feel that the charming courtesy extended by them to the various missionary societiesof the churches wilt always he gratefully remembered by those entertained. The Presbyterian church was made a vision of lovliness by the profuse use of (lowers ar-ti-tically arranged. A most cordial welcome was extended to all, each comer being decorated with dowers. After “we and our neighbors” had indulged in a social chat, the president, Mrs. Root, called the house to order, and “Coronation” was sung by the congregation of nearly two hundred

It is the standard spring medicine and blood purifier and it possesses peculiar merit which others try in vain to reach. It really makes the weak strong. Do not neglect to purify your blood this spring. Take Hood’s Sarsaparilla now. Hood's Pills become the favorite cathartic with every one who tries them. 25c per box.

entertainment was over. Another delightful social followed in which refreshments were served. The ice cream was delicious; the cake, if made from the recipes in the cook book compiled by the Presbyterian ladies should make it the most famous book extant.
