storm set in here yesterday afternoon caus-
ing the most extensive food known in
these parts since the year 1911. Along the

and meadows are completely flooded and
the damage must be unprecedentIy great,
Houses aud barns are nearly submerged and
the streets and highways are completely
lost to sight.
At Middlebrook bridge was completely
undermined, and this caused the smashing

Railroad. In consequence of this disaster a
number of twelve Founders were precipitated
into the food, and number of cars con-
tanning cattle, sheep, and hogs, We're piled
into it one on another in ruinous confusion.
Many of the animals were saved from the

Ayers Cathartic Pills.

Are the most perfect purgative which we are
able to produce, or which we think has ever yet
/ been made by anybody. Their effects have album
dantly shown to the community how much they
excel the ordinary medicines in use. They are
safe and pleasant to take, but powerful to cure.
Their penetrating properties stimulate the vital
activities of the body remove the Instructions of
its organs, purify the blood aud expcl disease
| They purge out the foul humors which broed and
grow distempcr, stimulate sluggish or dsordcred
organs into their natural action, and impart a
healthy tone, with strength, to the whole system.
Not only do they the every day complaints of
everybody, but also formidable and dangerous dis
eases While they produce powerful effects, they
are at the same time, in diminished doses, the
safest and best physic that can b. employed for
| children. Being sugar coated, they are pleasant
to take and, being purely vegetable are free from
any risk of harm. Cures have been made which
surpass belief, were they not subsaniated by men
of such exalted position and character as to forbid
the suspicion of untruth. Many eminent clergy
men aud physicians have lent their names to GER
tify to the public the reliability of our remedies
vile others have sent us the assurance of their con-
vieton that our Preparations contribute immensely
to the relief of our afflicted suffering fellow men,
The agent below named is pleased to furnish
gratis our American Almanac, containing direc-
tions for the use and certificates of their cures of
the following complaints
Costivencss, Bilious Complaints, rheumatism,
Dropsy Heartburn Headache arising from foul
stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Morbid Inaotion of
the Bowels and Pain arising therefrom Fatulency,
Loss of Appetite, and all diseases which require
an evacuant medicine They Also by purifying
the blood and stimulating the system, cure many
complaints which it would not be supposed they
could reach, such as Deafness, Partial Blindness.
Neuralgia and Nervous Irrtabity, Derangements
of the lliver and Kidneys Gout, and other Kindred
complaints arising from a low state of the body,
or obstruction of its functions.
DO not be put of by unprncipled dealers with
other preparations which they make more profit
on: Demand AYERS, and take no others The
sick want the best aid there is for them and they
should have it.

they pushed on, and the effect of this bold
