THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER. When we tell you that our goods are ot the best quality, we mean it. When we say that one brand of goods is better than another you will find it true. When we say you can buy of us as cheaply as any place, it is the truth. In fact, everything we do or say is said with the intention of meriting your confidence. To do this we must give ypu as good merchandise as any one else and treat you as courteously. We know all these things and it is our disposition to fulfill them to the letter We even go farther and treat you in such a manner that you cannot help but speak well of us. There never was “Two Stores” in any locality that deserved the trade of the people more than ours. Our stocks at Surrey and Parr are convenient to the best farming localities in this country and the class of people we deal with are of the highest standard of.citizenship. Are you one? G. M.

Pain From Inflammatory Rheumatism Would Have Killed Our Son. Dr. Miles* Anti-Pain Pills Saved Him. "We began to use Dr. Miles' Nerve and liver Pills six years ago. My wife had liver trouble and a neighbor gave her some of yow liver pills to try, after which we bought a bottle of them and my wife used them until cued. Since then I have used them and I must say that I have never nsed any pills that gave me the satisfaction these nave. We also use Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills with greatest satisfaction. Three yean ago en son Harry had inflammatory rheumatism. He had suffered so much that I believe if we had not given him Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills which relieved him almost instantly he would have died. lam always glad of the opportunity for praising Dr. miles’ Remedies.*'— James Event, Alton, Ills. 1 was afflicted with neuralgia for years and never found any permanent relief till I began using Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. They are a sure cure for headache end neuralgic pains. Only this morning I recommended them to a friend with a severe headache and in a half how he came into the store smiling. The headache was gone. We use them in the family and find them excellent for the women folks. This high altitude makes them very nervous. Grandma says I should tell Dr. Miles she could not live here were it not for the Anti-Pain Pills that she takes occasionally."—L. B. Morris, Helena, Montana.

The annual estimates of proposed expenditures and tax levies by the six democratic township trustees and two of the republican trustees of this county appear elsewhere in this paper. The Jmblication of these estimates is or the benefit of the people affected, the tax-payers, and it is to your interest to examine them if a citizen of either of these townships.

JyThe carnival promoters announce that they have contracted with the Dixey Carnival Company to exhibit here the week ending Aug. 29. This is a much better company than the other one they were taking of getting. They not only open each day with prayer and close with the doxology, have preacher testimonials, etc., but also have gospel song service every day. At least this what one would infer from the statements of the promoters. A new case filed in Squire Irwin’s court this week is entitled George W. Tanner vs. Thomas Cain, and the suit is for an accounting. It is rumored that the parties ron a “hop ale” stand at Fair Oaks, July 4, and that each one pocketed what* money he took in .over the counter. Tanner claims that Cain sold more ale and got more money than he did, therefore he asks for $25 judgment. The case ia set for trial at 1 p. m., •next Tuesday. "Whe Rt. Rev. H. J. Alderding, D. D., Bishop, of Fort Wayne, will come to Rensselaer to confirm a class of thirty-six on Sunday morning after 10 o’clock high mass, and bless the new Catholic aohool at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. He will also preach on both occaaions.VMeals, ice-cream and lemonade will be served in the school and on the grounds. A literary program will be given in the evening at 8 o’clock in the school hall. Doors open at 7. Admission 10 cents for adults; under 12 years, 5 cents. All are invited to attend.

In referring to the gentleman who sold Miss Monnett of this place oil refinery stock to the amount of $1,250, The Democrat has spoken of him as ex-Treasur-er Richmire of Benton county. As a matter of fact, however, Riohmire was never treasurer of Benton county, but served as clerk for eight years, and we are informed, left the office short in his

accounts. Prominent republicans were on his bond, and the matter was not made public for fear of injuring the party. Our misunderstanding of Richmire’s former official position in Benton grew out of the statements he is alleged to have made here, it being reported that he said he was a former treasurer of that county. ball of the scrub variety seems to have broken loose in Rensselaer, and freak games are of weekly occurrence. Last Friday afternoon the carpenters and lawyers took a turn at it, and the latter were done up to the tune of 23 to 12.'>Ihe lawyers were in the lead to the beginning of the fifth the number played —the score standing 10 to 8 in their favor. Over-confidence then lost them the game. Some of the lawyers’ best players dropped out and a new pitcher, Ray Thompson was put in the box, succeeding A. H. Hopkins. The woodworkers fonnd Ray dead easy, and they made 15 scores that one inning, while the lawyers rolled up but two. The game is said to have been quite interesting and amusing, if not very instructive.

It seems to us that it is not right for the city officers to allow the erection of stands on the street corners during the time of public gatherings, and especialy to allow parties to set up these stands on the public streets without money aud without price. There were several such stands here during the Wallace show, and we are informed that none paid anything except two “foreigners” who were taxed SI.OO for each stand. We have restaurant men here who are in business regularly, pay city taxes, employ labor, etc., and who are entitled to the extra trade public gatherings bring to them. At least, it does not seem right to allow someone to set up a lemonade and lunch stand in oppositidn to them, upon a public street, for a day only, without paying a penny for privilege.

The Democrat calls the attention of its readers this week to its excellent correspondence page. Nine towns are represented therein, which is ( a most excellent showing for this season of the year when news is generally hard to get and everybody is busy. While all have a goodly grist of items, we especially call attention of our Wheatfield readers to the full column of items, from that plaoe, every one which is a genuine news item, and the amount of news therein is greater than that ever printed in any local paper ever published there. Subscribers in that locality will confer a favor by calling their neighbor’s attention to this department and telling them that in addition to news from theif own town and correspondence from all parts of the county, they can get all the county seat and general news in The Democrat for only $1 per year, less than two cents per week.

FOUNTAIN PARK ASSEMBLY, Remington, Indiana, August Ist to 16th inclusive. Superior program of lectures and entertainments this season.

Appellants brief in the case of Harry Clifford vs. Judy & Wood and Samuel P. Hunter, appealed from the Newton circuit court, was filed in the appellate court this week. This case arose over the taking of some potatoes by Gifford from Albert Hann, a tenant of B. J. Gifford, on which Judy held a chattel mortgage. Harry Gifford was arrested on an affidavit sworn to by Hunter, but the case was dismissed before trial on plaintiff learning that Hann would not make affidavit that he owed Gifford nothing, as he is alleged to have previously stated. Gifford sued for $5,000 damages for malicious prosecution, making all three parties defendants, and was awarded judgment for S3OO in the Newton circuit court,- where the case was taken on charge of venue, Defendants appeal and expect a reversal of the judgment. DENTISTRY IN ALL ITS MODERN FEATURES. Life is cold and dark and dreary with the man who fajls. With us the sun shines warm and bright 365 days because we are successful. It is not luck; it is knowing how and being willing to work hard. Our work, our prices and our treatment make our patrons our best friends. Some there are who weep when others succeed and laugh when others fail. We have neither wept nor laughed but kept right on “sawing wood.” We have labored faithfully and hard to give our customers full value for their money and have been rewarded with a generous patronage. Do not get us mixed up with other dentists. We are not connected with any other office or laboratory in the county. We claim to do the best of any office in the state. Make us prove it. J. W. Horton.
