A distinguished Methodist Minister
and prominent Temperance Lecturer
once remarked that go where ne
would. from one end OF the country
to the other, he hardly ever failed 10
fiud Plantation Bitters, and while he
condemned tho practice Of using
these Bitters too freely, he could not
conscientiously say that he would
discard them from the Switchboard, for
he himself had experienced benefi-
cial results from their use. and that.
from . long aud close observation, he
was convinced that when used mod
erately, and AZ medicine exclusive
ly, they were all that was recon-
mended. At the same time he
warned his hearers not to pull the
cork too often, for they were far too
pleasant tonic to trifle with.

not, and it cannot until the road shall have

Very well, then turn in and, with us, urge
the people ofRock Island and Davenport TO
put up their money and build it. They have
decided they want it built by way of Moline.
Now let them show their sincerity by putting
