There is no danger from whooping cough when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given, It liquifies the tough tenacious mucus and aids in its expectoration. It also lessens the severity and frequency of the paroxysms of coughing and insures a speedy recovery. There is not the least danger in giving it to children or babies, as it contains no injurious substance. 50 cent bottles for sale by V. L. Early. March.

M. could not for the life of him percieve any fun in such ribald jesting and burlesque, and he threatens annihilation to the guilty parties if they should venture within the corporate limits of Emporia. There is a sympathy for the postmasters among the people at home which should go a long ways in influencing public opinion. No man who carries within his breast the element of an evil disposition can under the circumstances through which Mr. Markle has passed obtain friends of that character who will go to such length as has he. The citizens of Emporia are all good people confessedly so, and we know of no spectre that could rise up in the path of auy of them.

The dear little life in 'vhicli so much love was centered succumbed to the illness at. 11 o'clock Sunday night. Thus cruel death invaded another household and the loss will make the hitherto happy home a lonely one because they loved him but it is a bright consolation for them to know that, he was dev id of sin which will stand to Lynns credit, in the Book of the Recording Angel. The face was as serene as if he were sleeping.

*A11 of our small breeders, as well as large ones, should be very careful in booking their mares this season. If you have a very ordinary mare, breed to an ordinary horse. If you have a number one animal as to breeding and Individual-. ity, a record mare, or a producer of a 2:30 performer, breed to the best in the country, no matter what the fee is. Too much carelessness has been the rule during the'past decade. If you have a weak or diseased mare, or one that has heredi-: tary defects, don't dont breed them atr all. This country is too much overstockled with this kind of stock already. It has been acknowledged for a long time that the offspring inherit weakened con stitutions and many ominous defects. Stop aud reason in your own mind and think well before you act.
