It is an original product, evolved after years of experiment and research. It is the most of pure soap for the least money. It stands approved to-day by a second generation of Ivory Soap users.

Their teams were frightened and ran away but no damage resulted. The boys were able to be in town this morning. This part of the country is having altogether too much rain and it was rather adding insult to injury to follow yesterday’s big rain with another big one today. Much of the corn south and southwest of town is almost drowned out, and the weeds are getting a start that is quite discouraging to farmers. The several days tropical weather just past, resulted in a tropical storm Monday afternoon. The wind blew “great guns” and the rain came down in sheets and torrents. It was the heaviest fall of water while it lasted, for the year, and perhaps for several years; and came in fact, much faster than the sewers could carry it off, with the result of water backed into various cellars.

The torpedo is a small marble covered with a substance similar to brimstone, jand when thrown on some hard object produces the “crack” so , joyous to the heart of the youthful American patriot The torpedo will continue to shoot every time it is thrown until the brimstone is all removed. It is a simple thing j but has yielded its inventor a neat i fortune. Lieut. J. L. Knowlton, who is in : charge of the U.
