These words ought to rouse the whple town and send forth every man with his rake and shovel to put his premises in apple pie order. This is the season of the year when the refuse matter collected in alleys, streets and back yards during the cold months begins to decompose and spread disease. To render the air pure as possible and, increase the chances for health, a general cleaning up is imperative. Where it is not done of own accord the secretary ol the board of health has a right to order it done. It is always best however, for people to do these thiugs voluntarily. The woman who must have dimples or die has only to invest in the dimple producing machine, which an English paper says has been invented and patented by a woman with an eye for beauty and with a speculative turn of mind. She, of all others, ought to be rewarded with one or more of these fetching marks of beauty, providing she can endure the torture of her own device. Which is a kind of mask arranged with screws and wooden points that press upon the cheek or chin where dimples ought to be. This is worn at night but just iiow long it must be anplied to produce the desired impression is not said.

Ihe best way to baud up a town is to stand by every man in the place who does right. Whenever a man is doing wefl do not tear him down. All residents should be partners, not opponents. In all kinds ot livelihood the more business your rival does the more you will do. Every business man who treats his customers honestly, courteously and fairly will get his share, and the more business that can be secured by united efforts, the better it will be tor all. When a town ceases to grow it begins to die, and the more people try to kill each other in their business the more readily will utter ruin come to all. Stand together for the advancement of every citizen. If a man shows ability to prosper, do not pull him back through jealousy or weigh him down through cold indifference. Persons who sympathize with the afflicted will rejoice with D. E. Carr of 1233 Harrison St,, Kansas City. He is an old sutlerer from inflammatory rheumatism, but has not heretofore been troubled in this climate. Last winter he went up into Wisconsin, and in consequence has bad another attack. “It came upon me again very acute and severe,” he said My joints swelled aud became inflamed; sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent request of my mother-in-law I tried Chamberlain’s Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and ease the pain, and to my agreeable surprise it did both. I have used three fifty-cent bottles and believe it to be the finest thing for rheumatism, pains and swelliugs extant. For sale by J. B. Adams & Son, Petersburg, E. Dillon, Otwell. * A Remedy for the Grip. A remedy recommended lor patients afflicted with the grip, is Kemp’s Balsam which is especially adapted to diseases oi the throat and lungs.

Richardson, George Kinman, trustees; John F. Thomas, treasurer; George B. DeTar, clerk. An exchange has heard of three of the stingiest men on record. The first will not drink as much water as he wants unless it comes from a neighbor’s well. The second forbids any of his family writing anything but a small hand, as it is a waste of ink to make large letters. The third stops the clock at night, to save the ware and tear of the machinery. All of them refuse to take a newspaper, on the ground that it is sutffi a terrible strain on their spectacles to read. Last week, William Powell, of south Boon, was Hoke Smithed in a terrible manner. Mr. Powell was a good and faithful soldier, doing his whole duty while in the army. He drew $12 a month under the republican administration, but last week he was Hoke Smithed front $12 a month under the new law. to $24 a month under the old law, and he was aliow$1,700 back pay. That is the way that the democratic party through its represenative, H«>ke Smith, proposes to deal with the dcserviug veterans who fought in defense of their flag and country. Will the Boonville Standard, Rockport Journal and Petersburg Press tell their readers about the above case, where an undeserving pensioner has been reduced. Let’s hear front you gentlemen on the above case, put up or shut up. Hurrah for Hoke Smith.— Boonville Enquirer. There is not a newspaper office in the country but has some kiud of experience more or less varied, with the man who is taking so many papers that he iust thought he would come in and stop his home paper for a while, tie is reading a paper published in New York and another one that comes from Boston, each of which is stretching its columns to help along the fellow who cannot afford to take his home paper. Yes sir these papers are loaded with leaders showing up the superior qualities of the community in which the fellow resides who is taking so many papers that he must drop the advocate of his home and its industries. The same fellow who cannot take his homc|paper, is the one wheu he gets taken in on some snide scheme, that the home paper has exposed a dozen times, rushes in and asks that his name be withheld as having taken the first premium as therehampion sucker of the state. The same fellow, when he gets into some disreputable scrape, dont want a word said about it, but when be wants a free puff, he has no hesitancy in asking the home paper to give it, and he will stop whatever work he may be doing to borrow a paper and read it.
