Keard at the Hotel.

A visitor to our city relates what he in the dining room of his hotel one evening this week. A gentleman accompanied by his wife daughter and an older lady had taken their places, and after giving their orders for the coming meal, the gentleman proceeded to talk over his daya’s business, after thie manner. “Times are pretty good with me, for to-day I took in a team of horses, wagon, harness, cultivator, harrow, corn planter and mower for fourteen dollars.” "Well,” spoke up the daughter, “you don’t need to kick about hard times when you can buy a whole outfit for $14.” The visitor manifested surprise at the statement he had overheard, and made inquiry outside if it could be true. He was assured thal instances of that sort were every day occurances, and that since the last election there were the best opportunities ever known for persons starting in life to buy anything they needed for so few dollars in cash. The stranger scratched his head as if meditating. and even was heard to inquire wny farmers would part with their good implements so cheaply. A wag standing by, spoke up, “you come here and borrow ten dollars of that shark for six months and see if it don’t clean up an 80 acre farm to pay it off.” 4s the stranger turned to go out he was heard to mutter something about understanding now what was meant by such a gooddollar a few months since.

It acts quickly thus preventing serious complications and bad effects in which this disease often leaves the patient. A. F. Long.
