Rensselaer Republican, Volume 14, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 July 1882 — Out of Sorts. [ARTICLE]

Out of Sorts.

Mmy persons cunaplmn of not feeling well; and, though not absolut'dy sick or in pain, are perpetually in a state’of discomfort caused by the digestive organs no properly performing their wo<k. To correct the disordered condition of the stomach and restore health, take a half tablespoonful of Sim mods liver regulator after each meal. Try this purely v.-gctable cathartic, tonic and alterative and it will convince you that no one can lake it and remain long unwell. Mr. 11. S. Travis, of Benton county, Republican candidate for the nomination for State Senator, was in town Saturday and paid us a call. Mr. Travis is a gentleman of ability and would, if elected, make this district a good representative in the Senate. He is a hard working Republican and never “flies the track.”— Kentland Gazette. “ -hat, never?" “No, never.” “Oh, not never?” ‘•Well, hardly ever.'’ Ask T. K Harman, of Fowler, how it was in 1878, for instance. Rev. 8. Campbell delivered but one sermon Sunday, ipsteadof two, as some mildly erring brother authorized us to announce. The reverend gentleman’s venerable age and “often infirmities” will not allow him to preach more than one sermon upon the same day. Mr. Campbell is a very superior preacher and it is to be hoped that he will soon favor Rensselaer with another visit. He took the early train Monday morning for Grant Park, 111., where he delivered the Fourth ot July oration. The Odd Fellows’ installation exercises last evening passed off in a very pleasant and successful manner. The address of Grand Lecturer McQuiddy was of a very instructive and interesting character. Judge Hammond made an excellent welcoming address, the Choral Society discoursed sweet music, the ice-cream and cake were of transcendent excellence, the lemonade was a trifle sour, and the ladies were more than a trifle sweet..

For increasing the physical and mental strength, and augmenting the faculty of endurance nothing acts so so like a eharm as Brown’s Iron Bitters. The Blue Ribbon folks had no music last Saturday evening and the meeting was thereby shorn of one of its chief attractions. The choir, it was officially stated, was engaged in the patriotic and praiseworthy business of practicing for the ever glorious Fourth. Judge Haley, for some reason, did not show up and Dr. Washburn made the opening address. Fannie Clark gave a declamation which, unlike most childish efforts of the kind, was really worth listening to. Rev. Samuel Campbell then took the floor and made one of tlie most valuable and interesting temperance addressed we have ever listened to. Fannie Wood gaye a declamation, and remarks were made by Messrs. C. J. Brown and E. C. Nowels. Owing to the lateness of the hour the election of officers was postponed for one week. * If any doubt exists as to The Republican’s position towards Dr. Maxwell, it may as well be at once dispelled. We have never at any time doubted of Dr. Maxwell’s eminent fitness for the position of State Senator, nor of his intellectual and moral excellence, but we confess there was a time, a few weeks since, when we were half convinced that there was a spirit of opposition towards him in some parts of the district which would render his nomination undesirable. The more, however, the true source and nature of that opposition becomes apparent, the more are we convinced that it is entirely selfish and factious in its character, and undeserving of serious consideration. Dr. Maxwell is our choice for the position of State Senator first, last and all the time, and we expect to see him nominated, • and fell perfectly certain of his election. Dr. Maxwell is by far the most capable man yet named for that position, and we doubt if he has a superior in the district.
