have hit heart punctured. It was somewhat sorrowful to note his lamentable Condition as he reached the crossroads—undecided whether to go to the "Bush” or "Hill’’—with his necktie around his coat collar, shoestrings untied and coat tail flapping in the wind, making a sound like a demon on a March night. He started for the "Hills" near Rensselaer, saying, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” The “world" will certainly, D. V., accept this maxim for its proverbial philosophy, at there is a core of truth in it. “When the (tara send out their radiant light. Or oft’ when the moon Is shining bright, Comes a gladsome smile o'er her face. Knowing that Tom, D., and K. will be in the race. We know that Kane is the one that is sweet, Yet D, is the one she will go to meet. And talk of the stars and real good weather If the value of X«0 plus D., Or the value of Y. would be O. plus T. Then Caesar defeats Pomey is not the bane. But to congregate “Amo" and decline the “Kane.”

It will bring rich, red blood, Arm flesh and muscle. That’s what Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea will do. Taken this moDth, keeps you well all summer. 35 cents, Tea or Tablets. A. F. Long.

Miller, late Professor of Chemistry and Botany of the High School of Ypsilanti, Mich., writes from 3327 N. Clark Street, Chicago, 111., as follows: “As several of my friends have spoken to me of the favorable results obtained through the use of Peruna, especially in cases of catarrh, I examined it most thoroughly to learn its contents. “I found it composed of extracts of herbs and barks of most valuable medicinal qualities combined with other ingredients, delicately balanced, calculated to tone up the system, restore the functions and procure health. “/ consider Peruna one of the most skillfully and scientifically prepared medicines, which the public can use with safety and success.” — PßOF.

DunnxJille

Our friend, Elmer Roberts, lost a valuable horse last week. The masquerade ball at the DeArmond hall Saturday evening was a grand success. , 1 s We wish to extend to all of the new citizens of this township our heartiest welcome. Mr. and Mrs. James Whitehead, formerly of Kersey, have moved into the Powers house, lately vacated by Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Payne. Our school captains attended the educational caucus at Wheatfield Saturday. We are glad to say that wherever our school teachers go they always give a good account of themselves. There will be an illustrated lecture at the M. E. church March 18, beginning at Bp. m. Rev. E. Kuonen will, by the aid of the stereopticon, illustrate and explain the manners, customs, etc., of the Swiss republic. Every one is invited to attend. Our versatile friend of San Pierre seems to be a regular perennial spring of distorted information. This he broadcasts, like a Missouri farmer, over hill and dale, expecting, of course, to reap an abundant harvest of bibles. We wish to advise our love-song composing friend of reversible dashboard and lost neck-

tie fame, that he that sows to the wind shall reap a political speech, for you can not expect to gather figs off of willows. Imagine if you can, a vision of lovesickness appearing upon the stage of action, with a boquet of honey suckles upon the lapel of his coat, but minus a necktie. Now draw a mind picture of this same fellow going around, asking the girls if they had his necktie. Now by all that is democratic, what in the world would the girls want with his necktie? Why didn’t he ask the boys where his tie was? Simply because he imagined that his plight would excite a feeling of compassion among the fair sex. Now did it? Why, the girls said that he reminded them of a leap-year proposal, personified, or a first cousin of tather Cupid. The above is a faithful pen-picture of Mr. San Pierre. It is not often that a surprise party of a twofold nature is held, but such a one was launched upou the sea of existence Saturday evening. As Mr. Frank Fisher was seated in his sitting room, talking with Prof. Cannon of San Pierre, who was a guest of the family on that evening, an army of good-natured invaders surprised the sentinel and took the fort, thus capturing the above named. They tore down the flag of comparative silence and exultantly raised the flay of joy. The first cause that actuated the mvasion was the fact that Mr. Fisher had a birthday; the second cause was to surprise Mr. Cannon by holding a reception in his honor. Both of the main characters of this drama were given a surprise that they will not soon forget. The assembled spent the evening in playing games, conversating and in eating the luxuries of life. As the clock began to strike one the crowd dispersed, to meet again in one year. All present had a fine time. To say that Prof. Cannon was visibly impressed, is a tame expression of a fact.

Are You Engaged? Engaged people should remember, that, after marriage, many quarrels can be avoided, by keeping their digestons in good condition with Electric Bitters. S. A. Brown, of Bennetsville, S. C., saya: ’’For years, my wife suffered intensely from dyspepsia, complicated with a torpid liver, until she lost her strength and vigor, and became a mere wreck of her former self. Then she tried Electric Bitters, which helped her at once, and finally made her entirely well. She is now strong and healthy." Long, the druggist, sells and guarantees them, at 60c a bottle.

East Vernon

JrSmith and son Martin, were visiting Mr. and Mrs. Joe Maddox last Sunday.

* Builds up tk* asrstom.** 1 Hon. Joseph H. Ridgeway, Secretary of the American Anti-Treat Society, writes the following letter from tha Grand Central Hotel, St. Paul, Minn.: “ It is with great pleasure that I endorse Peruna as , « an honest medi-,, cine, competent to do all it claims. I have used it several,, /W* Sj* times and know Vt \ fa of nothing that cures so completely, and at,, the same time 1\ / builds up the “ I have rec-,, ommended it to Joseph Ridgeway, a number of my * 11 “ 1 “ ° * friends and always feel that 1 do them a service for 1 know how satisfactory the results, invariably are. I only wish every family had a bottle —it would save much sickness and doctor bills.”—Joseph H. Ridgeway. “ Feel Better Thun for Five Tears.” Mr. James B. Taylor, Roberts, Ind., writes: “I am at the present time entirely well. I can eat anything I ever could. I took five bottles of Peruna, and feel better now than I have for five years. I have doctored with other doctors off and on for fifteen years, so I can recommend your medicine very highly for stomach troubles. I take great pleasure in thanking you for your free advice and Peruna.”—James B. Taylor. “ I Enjoy my Meals as I Used to.” Mr. J. W. Pritchard, Wolf Lake, Ind* writes: “ I am pleased to say that I have been cured of catarrh of the stomach by Peruna. I could hardly eat anything that agreed with me. Before I would get half through my meal my stomach would fill with gas causing me much distress and unpleasant feelings for an hour or two after each meal. But, thanks to your Peruna, I am now completely cured, and can eat anything I want to without any of the distressing symptoms. I can now enjoy my meals as 1 used to do, and it is all due to Dr. Hartman and his wonderful medicine, Peruna. “It has been one year since I was cured, and I am all O. K. yet, so I know I am cured.”—J. W. Pritchard. Dyspepsia is a very common phase of summer catarrh. A remedy that will cure catarrh of one location will cure it anywhere. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. That it is a prompt and permanent cure for catarrh of the stomach the above letters testify. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of y;>ur case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.
