munity to know that J. A. Bishop has re-
duced the price of Winter Wheat Flour
The -four he sells is made at the Moline
Mills, for which he is the exclusive agent
This Mill is admitted to be the best in the
Northwest and the -four is made of selected
Winter Wheat, which accounts for its giving
such universal satisfaction, many persons
claiming that it is even superior to the regular
brands of st. Louis -four. Bishop also sells
the Moline Mills spring and winter wheat
-four mixed, far superior article to any
spring wheat flour, and he sells it at the
same price as cnmmon spring wheat -four,
and delivers it in any part of the city free of
charge.
AS he is agent for this Mill, he is prepared
to sell the flour at wholesale at Mill rates.
He has a very large stock of groceries on
hand, and is selling at very low figures, and
those who want to save money will give him
q call and see for themselves. Bishops es-

EThe Treasurer and Secretary OF the
County Agricultural Society are now ready
to deliver membership tickets for the pres
entyear, and it is hoped the community will
respond readily to their call. Every MEM
bership will cost 81, 90, and the Society will
receive another $1,Oo from the State, up to
two hundred dollars. All those who are
willing to assist the Society by becoming
members and paying in their dollars will
please call on Messrs. J. P. Walton or J. G.
H. Little. The membership money must be
paid in before the State money can be OBJ
tained-the sooner the better. Time will be
necessary to procure the State donation, and
it is important to have it on hand before the
Fair. Membership tickets will be given
which will admit the purchaser, wife and
children under eighteen years Of age, during
the Fair, to go in and come out whenever
they may choose. Should the Fair hold four
days, as is contemplated, it will be more than
one hundred per cent. cheaper than pur-
chasing tickets by the day.

SIR: have used your Pills in my general and
hospital practice ever since you made them, and
cannot hesitate to say they are the best cathartio
we employ. Their regulating action on the liver is
quick and decided, consequently they are an ad-
mirable remedy for arrangements Of that organ.
Indeed, have seldom found u case of bilious dis
ease SO obstinate that it did not readily yield to
them. Fraternally yours, ALONZO BALL, NJ. D.,

that there are no rebels near there, and the

has made no movement in this direction.
There are no regiments east of BoonesbOro,

Information at Head Quarters goes to con.
