THE 99-CENT RACKET STORE Is not going out of business but going into business on a larger scale than before. We are not only going to sell you goods the same as before, but we will give you better values for the same money. Our trade demands that we carry goods which run higher than our regular limit which was 99 cents and less, and to satisfy that class and to keep their trade, we hare concluded to handle anything that we can sell that we know is a bargain and to sell the same the way we buy it—for less money than you can possibly buy the same class of goods elsewhere. We have the finest line of LACES AND EMBROIDERY ever brought to town, and prices right fWe also carry a nice line line of Corsets Shirt Waists Muslin Underwear Hosiery Ribbons and in fact most everything the ladies want.

“THE VOICE OF NATURE.” [As interpreted by the Deacon,] I love to breathe the morning air With balmy odors freighted. When everything seems fresh and fair, As If but just created. Its healthful draught inspires my soul With sweetly solemn feeling— Ho, John! get up and feed them pigs, And stop their coudemned squealing. Above the rising sun the clouds Fly just like golden fleeces— The wav wool lately has gone up Beats nature all to pieces. Ten cents a pound, and how much highe r 'Twill go there is no telling; It makes me shiver when I think How near I was to selling! The diamond dewdrops gem the grass— I'm under a mistake, or That grass will cut at least as much As two tons t,o the acre. The clover, wooed by droning bees, Is lush with lacent honey; There is no sweeter scent to me, Except the scent of money. Along the tinkling meadow brook The fllmy mist is creeping, While whispering winds through yonder wood Unseen are eoftly sleeping, I pitied Widow Brown’s hard lot— She suffered many woes, sure; But her wood lot was very cheap— I got it by foreclosure. The happy birds, in tuneful notes. Discourse melodious praises. Speaking of notes, I wonder why Jake Thompson never pays his. If Jacob beats me out of that 'Twill shake my faith in heaven 1 Jus think of twenty-five per cent Reduced to paltry seven! The lowing cows the milkers call, The milk-white iambs are jumping, I’ll bring the milk cans 'round behind The barn and go to pumping 1 For “stolen waters are most sweet." Made into factory cheeses; As cows decline my shorthorn pump Its dainty yield increases! The sound must be quite lost and dead That cannot find in Natur' Sufficient cause to glorify The bounteous Creator! The clouds, the sky, the dew-spread grass, The singing birds, the zephyr— Hello, what beast has broke in there? 'Tis Jone’s pesky heifer!

The well will be suuk quite a depth yet before it is abandoned. It is understood other wells will be sunk in other localities before the enterprise is given overyk-Montieello Herald. Tendency of the Times. The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure, It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dungerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has Been observed that this remedy counteracts -any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great pre valence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until It is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest, then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as Soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For Sale by A. F. Loug.
