' There was a Reason and a time when many people might hesitate to visit a dentist. What their friends told was sufficient to keep them away. Progress In dentistry has reduced pain to such a minimum that fear of pain is absolutely useless to think about. Lack of attention your teeth need, is a continual invitation to many things which in later life are not to be desired. One proof that my operations are the satisfactory kind—my patrons are delighted to make statements that cause friends to come in and want the same kind of honest work. DR. J. W. HORTON

Press Roberts from Newton county was in town Monday, and seems to have turned his attention to potato raising. He has some potatoes that he says he will not sell until he gets SI.OO per bushel for them. Press should keep in mind the fact that these are prosperity times, minus the prosperity, and that SI.OO a bushel is purty blamed high for his or anybody else’s old potatoes. Raising the market price by schemes of this kind is a favorite one with republicans, but we didn’t think Press would resort to it to get SI.OO a bushel for his potatoes. We would be pleased to chronicle the fact that he has amended his resolution, and will turn some potatoes on the market at less than SI.OO a bushel.
