A Young Lady's Life Saved.

Dr. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent physician, of Panama, Colombia, in a recent letter states: “Last March I had as a patient a young lady sixteen years of age, who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Everything I prescribed for her proved ineffectual and she was growing worse every hour. Her parents were sure she would die. She had become so weak that she could not turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a studv for me, but I thought of Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last resort prescribed it. The most wonderful result was effected. Within eight hours she was feeling much better; inside of three days she was upon her feet and at the end of one week was entirely, well.” For sale by Long.

Nelson Morris.

ALthe fat stock show in Chicago last fall Nelson Morris made a speech, and in the speech he said. “I have had the honor of acting as one of the judges at ‘The Queen's fat stock show in London, England, but never before in my life have I seen such fat stock as I see here now.” These cattle were fed Acm Food. Acme Food causes stock to digest more and Better the grain they eat. 80 per cent of the prize winners at the fat stock show in Chicago were fed Acme Food.

Does It Pay?

Save the Corn Fodder. In view of the fact that coarse fodder for horses and cattle is going to be very scarce and a high price, it behooves the farmers to save the corn stalks by cutting up their corn. An immense amount of excellent fodder can thus be had, which usually goes to waste, and the farmer by so doing can winter his stock cheaply and well. He can also, in many instances, sell his hay, or much of it, at the high prices it is sure to bring. In Jasper county hundreds of thousands of tons of corn fodder can be saved this season if the farmers will but do so, and, in addition to the ready saving it will be to them, they will tind that next season the price of cattle will be very high, by reason of the scarcity of coarse feed now, and if they can cut up feiiough corn , fodder to .winter through the stock they now have and perhaps buy a few head more at the low prices prevailing this fall for feeders, the returns will be much greater. With the facilities now had for cutting up corn it would seem that every farmer should make an effort to save this fodder to feed through the winter And it would also seem that at least one farmer in every neighborhood could make a good investment by buying a corn cutter and binder and cutting for his neighbors at so much per acre. In addition to cutting his own crop he ought to get nearly enough work to pay for the cutter in this one season. Farmers who are interested in saving their corn stalks for fodder should give this matter their attention at once, and" if they cannot induce some one of their number to purchase a machine, let a half-dozen of them go together and buy one. A sample corn binder may be seen at Chas. A Roberts’ carriage store on North Front street, we believe the only one on exhibition in the county.

Surprised the Preacher.

As Rev. Ed Meads was spending a few days out of town, it was thought a good time to plan a series of surprises for him. Consequently on Saturday evening, at the home of Jasper Kenton, over one hundred members and friends of the Parr, Vaughn and Rensselaer Free Baptist churches met, and as he was driven from the train to the house and found the throng, and it gradually dawned upon him that the gathering was in his honor, he was surprised No. 1. Later, as Rev. Ferguson told him to stand forth, and with some very appropriate and touching remarks, presented him with a twenty dollar gold piece, a five dollar gold piece and three silver dollars, in all S2B, as a token of esteem by his different congregations and outside friends, his surprise and appreciation could only be expressed by tears. The evening was a most delightful one. A fine program was rendered and refreshment served. All were glad to be there. *#

A Cure for Cholera Infantum.

“Last May,” says Mrs Curtis Baker, of Bookwalter, Ohio, "an infant child of our neighbor’s was suffering from cholera infantum. The doctor had given up all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoet Remedy to the house, telling them I fell sure it would do good if used according to directions. In two day’s time the child had fully recovered, and is now (nearly a year since) a vigorous, healthy girl. I have recommended this Remedy frequently and have never known it to fail in any single instance.” For sale bv Long. We are able to make you Farm Loan* at a very low rate of interest.
