For several year?," says John Park, Ueaver CreeK, Minn., "during the

ci.iii'd was rheumatic gout. I was treated by some of our best physicians, and obtained but little, if any relief, and used mauy so-called cures withoot benefit During the winter of 1887, when my feet were so swollen and inflamed that I could not wear my boots. I commenced using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The first application reduced the swelling and inflammation, and the use of one fifty cent bottle so completely relieved me, that I discontinued my canes and was able to get around all right and wear my boots." 50 cent bottles for sale by V.

•Among the horses making the season Hancock county this year, there is none more deserving than Fleetwood, a young horse owned by John Wray. He is of good size, weighing 1,160, and splendid action having trotted a mile in 2:30 last fall. He is a grand son of old Blue Bull and has many of the characteristics of that famous horse. He breeds large well formed colts, all showing speed, this is the class of horses for farmers to breed, for if you do not get a race horse vou will get a good roadster, and one large enough to do any kind of work. We understand John will make the season with this norse at his barn on West Mrin street in Greenfield. See him before you breed. 16t2

A Little Girl's Experieuce In A Lightlioutie.

Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keepers of the Gov. Light house at Sand Beach Mich, and are blessed with a daughter, four years old. Last April she. was taken dowu with Measles, followed with a dreadful Cough and turning into a Fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit treated her' but in vain, she grew worse rapidly, until she was a mere "handful of bones". Then she tried Dr. King's New Discovery and atter the use of two and a half bot ties, was completely cured. They say Dr. King's New Discovery is worth its weight iu gold, yet you may get a trial bottle free at M. C. Quigle's Drug Store.

At Fortville last week, when I was there, the town was almost depopulated on account of the Democratic State Con-vention-iu session at Indianapolis.

Chas. Da"is was preparing to move to the city. He is engaged with It. W. Furnas, the ice-cream man.

Haskell & Cook Bros, ve one of the nieest and most extensive hardware and implement stores in the county. They are doing an immense business. They have sold tons of fence wire and 1 housands of other things to tedious too mention. See their locals in this issue.

One prominent business man of Fortvilje informed me that news paper 'puffs' don't amount to a dam in his business from any source, that he could do his own puffing. V'hile one man may have an opinion like the above, one hundred would have a contrary opinion.

Springer Bros, had enlarged their store room to almost double its former proportions. I am pleased to notice the advancement of these very energetic and deserving young men. They are self made and in very worthy. th« large business they are securing. The town will have to

make rapid strides or they will out grow it. The same may also be said of our very agreeable friends Brewster & Thomas. Their finely equipped drug store bears every evidence, that they are not ''playing store" but are conducting a strictly busiuetjs enterprise to wiiicli they are adding many new features every day. I know ol: no firm in all my rounds that apply more genuine, motive power "Co" their bu^mes?.* than they. As to wall papers "don't mention it." and they have sold over 700 pounds of I'ratts iood for stock which is becoming highly popular. If you call at their srore and don't see what yon want, call for it and I'll guarantee they have it.

Jo*. Hills & Co. too had made some de-* cidci improvements iu their large store rooms, that are of much importance and adds much to the general appearance of their large store.

I am pleased to announce, to our Fortville friends and readers geuerally, that they well now c?ee their town nicely represented in our columns from one of the brightest of their young citizens.

WhiteM Sou are the wagon makers and have iif$re business thau they can handle. They sold a wagou to Thos. Chappel last week, also one to a gentlemen at Lawrence. Consult their ad in this paper for particulars concerning their business-

Farmers ana business men generally, speak in high terms of the advantages afforded them by the Fortville Bank. They also speak iu high terms of the proprietor, Mr. McConnell. They consider him quite a gentlemen and are, much pleased with his fair aud equitable manner of doing business.

There is quite a jolly crowd of horsemen at Roberts & Walkers now. Jos. Eakes is chairman of the assembly with T. M. Cottrell speaker of the house. They have some horses that show wonder ful speed, so they say.

Thomas Gardener is in the fruit tree business now. He buys his stock direct from one of the leading nurseries in the East. Mr. Gardener is well and favorably known in his vicinity and the people entertain no fears iu cuying of him, they know that they are running no risk. Mr. Gardener will guarantee all *tock handled by him to be true to name, and prices knocked clear out. See him if you desire anything in the fruit or ornamental line.

Chas. Hiday informed me that he is now tngaged in the brick-yards of his brothey-in-iaw, Jerry Gwinn, in Brightwood.

Will A. West, the popular young tinner has taken to wife, Miss Daisy Chotlrick of Fortville. This is spoken of as altogether a desirable match, as Will is a nice young man and Daisy a popular young lady.

At Willow Branch, the fine new blacksmith and wagon shop was progressing nicely under the management of J. S. Orr, mechanic and Asa James, brick mason. Mr. James is a fine workman in brick aud stone and makes a specialty of cistern building.

McDougal & Co. are having au excellent trade. They sell the paints and put them on, likewise wall paper. They talk of building a business room in Willow Branch.

Dr. Hammer was returning from visiting a patient. The doctor has a good practice, also a nice drug and notion store, lie and several other merchants in the town including A. ii. Thomas at the de pot have aline qaality of "castile soap" for ."-a cheap. 1l is manufactured from pure vegetable oils.

I accepted the kind invitation genial store keeper of Willow Branc^-^T' LJ. Thomas to sojourn at his home over night. Mr. T. has a nice home, a pleasant hospitable wile and two bright little boy

p.

1 was very pleasantly entertained

by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas whose kindness I will long remember. Mr. Thomas enjoys the confidence of all the peojde of his vicinity aud they accord him a liberal patronage of wnich he is fully deserving. He handles large quantities of Warrington flour which he says is very popular among his customers.

Dr. B. H. Cook informed me that the of Hall at Wilkinson would dedicate their Hall on Tuesday night, May 17.

It is needless to ask if Win. Kenyou is pushing his business. He is one of the greatest hustlers iu onr dominion. His wagons are meeting with a ready sale. He lias added light aud heavy harness to his business. He sells buggies, carriages Buckeye binders and mowers, binder twine, dusters, whips etc. See his ad iu another column. He and liis son-in law W. Bridges make a strong firm.

E. B. Byrkett now has a more commodious business room. Mr. Byrkett is awake to the interest of his customers aud believers in inviting them to come his way. During the past years he has proven himself to be not only capable in the management of all the details of his business but has also given evidence of his honorable methods. He is now better prepared than ever to accommodate his large following of customers.

J. H. Pennington is now alone iu the drug store his former partner, Mr. Wilson is now in a store at Indianapolis. Mr. P. has a nice little store.

P. K. May sells Deering farm machinery. He also s-lls one of the finest lines of hardware and implements to be found anywhere. He has a nice ad in this paper concerning the Deering binder and mower. Its victorious conflicts have proclaimed it king of the grain field and the peer of all other reaping machines. He also sells the reliable Deering twine. I met M. V. Walker in my rounds, lie is owner of Bill Terry by Tasco. See hoss notes.

The recent cool wet weather has worked a wonderful transformation in the growing wheat all over the county, and fields that looked barren a few weeks ago, now look green and beautiful, bidding fair to produce a good crop.

Coming through Maxwell I was pleased to learn that our young friend J. H. Mugg was again able to be at his post of duty after a long and severe illness.

Mellis Jackson is having an excellent trade that is growing every day he is a hustler and will secure business.

J. F. Gant post-master and storekeeper also is doing nicely and it is pleasure to announce the fact.

Card racks are now in demand at. the various stores for the deposit of the various candidates cards, announcing that Jones or Smith is candidate subject to the nominating convention to be held sometime in the future.
