We have had a few snow storms that, melted ns fust, as they fell. Our roads are reasonably fair for the season. Batch Marton, while at Hamlet struck Jacob Stryker on the head with a shovel, fracturing his skull. The prosecution in this, like all other cases, is extremely tame. Comment is unnecessary. A painful accident happened in Illinois last Friday between parties : formerly residents of this town. Roy Willhelm, aged 15 years, was cleaning : his shot gun which was loaded. The I gnu accidentally went off and shot his । mother in the bowels. She lived but ! a few minutes after the accident.

I IWe all join in wishing the newly ! married couple a happy consort Jacob Strifling is still jubilating •over his baby. It is probably the first Jake ever had. We trust be may tone down by the time of the next recur rence, as blessings are liable to continue. We have in our town one 7th day meat shop, and two first day meat I shops. The result is quite lucrative to | the Advent, as on that day he has a l monopoly of the trade. John C. Larrew is still confined to ' his sick chamber. A good hatter would do well in this ) place, as there is none in this county j and probably none nearer than Chicago. TEEGAROEN.

Watt», druggist and physician, Humboldt, Neb,, who suffered with heart disease for four years, trying every remedy and all treatments known to himself and fellow-practitioners; believes that heart disease is curable. He writes: “I wish to tell what your valuable medicine has done for me. For four years I had heart disease of the very worst kind. Sev- I eral physicians I consulted, said it was Rheumatism of the Heart.

It was almost unendurable; with shortness of breath, palpitations, severe pains, unable to sleep, especially on the left side. No pen can d®scril my sufferings, particularly ■during the last "months of those four weary years. I finally tried

DR. j. H. WATTS,

Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, and was surprised at the result. It put new life into and made a new man of me. 1 have not had a symptom of trouble since and 1 am satisfied your medicine has cured me for I have now enjoyed, since taking it Three Years of Splendid Health. I might add that I am a druggist and have sold and recommended your Heart Cure, for 1 know what it has done for me and only wish I could state more clearly my sufferI ing t hen and the good health I now enjoy.
