first, and later he will perhaps launch out into a general merchandise store. The band instructor, Otto Braun, of Lowell, was down Tuesday evening to assist the boys in a few difficult pieces.

Come out and help the blind. The Ladies’ Aid held an all day’s session Wednesday at Mrs. Flora McCurtain’s. The principal features of the day was talking and sewing carpet rags. Each one had so much work to perform before they were entitled to their dinner. So, about the eleventh hour o couple of preachers happened in, thinking they might strike some yellow legged chickens, but they got fooled. It was blue-winged goose, and they could not partake until they took a turn in the sewing circle. They got busy with their needles, working at a rapid pace, sticking their fingers about as often as they did. the rags, to get their allotted work done so they could; get at that goose. After they had painfully-worked for some time dinner was announced. The Aid, thinking they had a sufficient amount of work to entitle them to their dinner, they were admitted to the dining room, and such a goose-eating time was never witnessed before. While they were putting away goose to do them for a day or so. Upon going back to their work they found that the product of their labor had disappeared, and would not be found

anywhere. But if they had have known just where to look they could have found it in the pocket of one of the fairer sex’s pinafore. To be concluded.

The Lash of a Fiend would have been about as welcome to A. Cooper of Oswego, N. Y?, as a merciless lung-racking cough that defied all remedies for years. “It was most troublesome at night,” he writes, “nothing helped me till I used Dr. King s New Discovery which cured me completely. I never croup, whooping cough, or hay feknow its matchless merit for stubborn colds, obstinate coughs, sore lungs, lagrippe, asthma, hemorrhage, croup, khooping cough, or hay fever. It relieves quickly and never fails to satisfy. A trial convinces. 50c. SI.OO. Trial bottle free. It’s positively guaranteed by A. F. Long.
