Fitzpatrick; Bth year, Miss Edith Winder.

In all this talk about improving that notorious three miles of baa road in Jordan tp., we have not beard anything about Rensselaer paying for ( art of the improvement. It will not be right for Remington citizens to pay for improving a part of this and then have the county pay for improving the balance and tax our people again tor it. Let Rensselaer and Remington, say, each donate for one mile and the county improve the rest. This is the only equitable way if we are to have it improved on such a plan. Not a cent wanted, unlesi you are cured. If you are sick and ailing, take Hollister’. Rocky Mountain Tea. A great blessing to the human family. Makes you well—keeps you well. 85 cents. Tea or Tablets. A. F. Long.

And it came to pass in the days of Roosevelt that two of the sons of America concluded a trade of international importance! in which two pedigreed pigs were exchanged for a calf of the highstepper rank.

It has caused more wars than any other one thing that God ever created. In the face of all this, a young friend of ours had the nerve to ask a girl to take her home, a distance of twelve miles. When he drove himself around without a buggy she exclaimed, “Eureka." He said, “My dear, it is the style in Russia to walk,” and behold they did walk the entire distance. He exclaimed when about half way to his journey’s end, that if he walked any more bis name would not be Bill Floars.

We saw in a nondescript paper a few days ago a wholesale attack upon the correspondence department of The Jasper County Democrat which was an insult to every scr>be on the staff. We are prepared to say without moral reservation that any man, angel or whatever be is, that advocates the batting of the correspondents, must remember that in a batting tournament, we are able to do a little share. He that advocates this plan of viciousness is a worse enemy to society than a red-handed sprig of anarchy, you don’t like The Democrat, let it alone. You are not compelled to read it. In the face of all the combined attacks of its enemies, The Democrat will live and grow. Long live the Democrat and may its influence spread until all the nations of eanh will rise up and call it blessed.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced It a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured bv F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitlonal cure on market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address: F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. Sold by Druggists, 75c.
