A very interesting program has been prepared for the occasion, and it is hoped the citizens wjll all attend the entertainment. If a very old soldier of the late war were to marry a very young woman she would, should life continue to a go.ni old age. draw a pension until 2010. A similar thing happened to a w oman who married a soldier of the war of 1^12. She is stiii living and drawing a pension as a widow. It is said that a young and abandoned woman of Marion in one instance, at leigd. sought to turn the head of a foolish old man in the soldiers’ home with a view to marriage and pension. If you arc on a railroad track and an engine w histles get off at once—don’t stop to look around. The action requires time, brief enough to be sun-, but if a train is running at even a low- rate it covers ground in remarkably short time. For instance, if it i > going thirty,miles an hour it'advatices forty-four feet a second, and it it is going sixty mi.es, as is often the ca-e. it covers eighty-eight feet per second. That lackward look may cause your death. In view of the fact that so many of our people walk on railway tracks the alaive from an exchange would not be a bad thing to commit to memory, and if this is impossible cut it out and stick in your hat.

In June, 1SW, Mr. Evans, then Sdlcstu&u for the Wheeling Drug company, recomended Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. At this time my foot and litub were swollen to more than double their normal size and it seemed to me my leg would burst, but soou after I began using the Pain Balm the swelling began to decrease, the pain to leave* and now 1 consider that I am entirely cured, For sale by J.
