We live in the best part of old Jasper; the only section that is really progressing. This being the fact let us declare it. According to the immutable law of averages, this country must reach a climax. As the older parts of the county have reached the summit of development, it. is our turn to occupy the throne. Our boys, the River Side Regulars, were defeated at Baum’s Bridge Sunday aft<»r- a terriffic. owing to the fact , that our pitcher was indisposed and thus unable to deliver his effective balls. But we wish to say to the Porter county lads, that the next meet will have a different result. When pur boys get a nine that will work in harmony, defeats will be impossible.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure 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 by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, only constitutional cure on the market. It is . taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the bipod 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, Ohio. Sold by Druggists, 75c.
