Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the Graphic, Texarkana, Arkansas, has found what he believes to be the best remedy in existence for the flux. His experience is well worth remembering. He says: “Last summer I had a very severe attack of flux. I tried almost every known remedy, none giving relief. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended to me. I purchased a bottle and received almost immediate relief. I concluded to use the medicine and was entirely cured. I take pleasure in recommending this remedy to any person suffering with such, a disease, as in my opinion it is the best medicine in existence.” 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist.

Brommer. who represents Spitznagle & Kennedy on the road, has among his customers at Rensselaer the oldest harness maker iu the State. The gentleman wears the name of Charles Rhoades proudly. Mr. Rhoades was four score on the 27th of last November aud, notwithstanding his' age, he goes to his bench every morning at 6 o'clock and works steadily until 9at night. He retains all his faculties to a remarkable degree, is hale and hearty and genial and the work he turns out is second to none. He began his trade at the age of 15 and has worked at it continuously for sixty-live years. During that time he has not lost to exceed three months’ time. He has lived in Rensselaer thirty-six vears and is known and respected by all. Mrs. Rhoades died three years ago at an advanced age. Mr. Rhoades is certainly entitled to the distinction of being the oldest active harness maker in Boosierdom.

In this calamity we see the downfall of Turkey, the upsetting of Greece, the destruction of China, and the humiliation of Africa.

Pass the pulverized sugar, please.” A party of fellows, who have been working on the gravel roads, came to town last Friday and proceeded to “bowl up” in good style.
