The contract for the work provided that the street was not to be torn up for more than two squares at a time, but the con tractor or the sub-contractor tore it up for the entire length, and the coming of the cold weather renders it impossible to complete the work until spring. There fore every time a resident on the street who goes out and looks at the condition in which the street is left will feel called upon to use a big, big

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hail's Cat&yrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Ad* dress
