From LaGrippe. jfipyf Dr. Miles* Nervine Restored One of Kentucky's Business Men to Health.

NO DISEASE has ever presented so many peculiarities as LaGrlppo. No disease leaves Its victims so debilitated, useless, sleepless, nerveless, as LaGrippc. 'Mr. D. W. Hilton, state agent of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Kentucky, says: •*In 1889 and *90 I pad two severe attacks of LaGrippe, tho last one attacking my nervous system wiA such severity that my life was despaired of. I had not slept for more than two months except by the use of narcotics that stupefied me, but gave me no rest. I was only conscious of intense mental 'Weakness, agonizing bodily pain and the fact that I was hourly growing weaker. When in thiscondition, 1 commenced using Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. In two days I began to improve and in one month’s time I was cilred, much to the surprise of all who knew of my condition. I have been in excellent health since and have rocommended yiour remedies to many of my friends.'? Louisville, Jar. 22,1895. D. W. Hilton. Dr. Miles’ Nervine Restores Health.

If the republican doctrine is any ways near true we will have good times from now on until the election Of 1896. Aud then the times may change again so that all you need to do to make times good is to hav$ republican office holders. It is said that after the fourth of March, 1897, Cleveland, Olney and Carlisle will form a law partnership* Cleveland to be office adviser, 01ne| to be at the head of the Boston branch, and Carlisle the man foj? arguments. It will be the strongest Jaw firm in the country. 1****gg? 'j ! In a recent decision of law makes it binding on a person who signs any document without first reading it.

Owing to an oversight in making up the premium list for the farmers institute, instead of offering premiums aggregating $20 they are found to amouut to $30 which on account of other expenses of the institute we will not be able to pay.

Adams & Son. Apples and Potatoes. Corn is not the only agricultural product that has broken the crop record this year. Our crop of apples is to succeed 9,000,000 and to s<mPKtiniates it will reach 10,000,000 bushels, or about 3,000,000 more than the largest number ever hore-to-fore produced in a single year. Potatoes too have broken the record this vear. So says the New York Press, an authority ou the subject. The largest crop heretofore was that of 1891, estimated at 225,000,000 bushels. The smallest since 1885 was that °f 1887— a little over 134,000,000 bushels. The crop of 1890 was not much larger. The average for the nine years is 173,000,000 or about 2,000,000 bushels more than last’s crop. This year’s will probably exceed 230,000,000 bushels.

The old theory that the world Is eucumbered with a certain number of superfluous women has been repeat* edly exposed, but there are many people who still cherish it. As a matter of fact, however, women are in the minority in the United States. The male portion of our population numbers 31.067,880 and the female 30,557,370. In some of the states the excess is on the side of the men and others on that of women, but in the West as is natural men predominate. These figures add another element to the problem of the constantly increasing numbers of self*supporting women. Nothing so distressing as a hacking oough. Nothing so foolish as 10 suffer from It. Nothing so dangegpus it allowed to continue. One Minute Cough Cure gives immediate relief. Adams & Son. Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder World’s Fair Highest Modal and Diploma.
