the beautiful and impressive ceremony of decora-
ting the graves of the Confederate dead will take
place. The weather has thus far been propitious
and there is likelihood of an abundance of flow
ers-therefore, let every one who honors the

| THE CoNsTITUTIoNALLY BILIOUS. No two parts
of the human body more strongly sympathize to-
gether than the Stomach and Liver. When one
is deranged the other is generally out of repair.
And at no other period of the year are they so IL
able to become deranged as now, and thus lay the
foundation of disorders which will rob life of its
| pleasures, and perhaps end in death itself. The
stomach now requires an ambitious tonic, the
liver needs toning Immediately and the blood ought
to cleansed and purified. Perhaps you do not re-
alze the force this statement; but nevertheless,
the necessity for observing it does exist Be warn
ed in time, and seek safety and exemption from
disease by using Mishler's Herb Btters every day
regularly. 1t is a certain cure for all diseases
arising from q disordered stomach and liver, and
a reliable protection to all who constitution
ally predisposed to bilious complaints.

TERRIBLE RIOT ON A STEAMER.-CHI-

ten miles above Rock Island. A number
of raftsmen, who took passage on the boat

to occupy the cabin, and on being refused

A HEROIC FIREMAN.-Last Saturday

reversed steam and whistled for breaks
The whistle brought the child's mother tC
the door, who, discovering the danger, ran
at once to the rescue. The fireman, w
Lavenway, seeing that she could not reach
the little one in season, leaped from the
engine, ran with the feetness of a deer anG
snatched the child away just as the forward
wheels were about to crush it. As soon a:
the mother saw that her child was safe she
uttered one loud cry of Joy and sank faint

A CARD.

Mr.. EARIE-Dedr Sir Permit me to
acknowledge with thanks the lavish COM
pliment paid me in recent issue of your
paper-far more to my credit than is due,
for | have done no more than every agent
ought to do that has an interest in his bust
ness and certainly no one deserves encO-
miums for doing their dirty.
When / came to Barton, as agent,
found many things in somewhat of dilap-
idated condition, and my first and greatest
desire was, not only to have the reception
rooms look more tidy, but the freight room
and surroundings Last spring, with the
assistance of Mr.. Jones, we cleared away
some of the dirt and trash that had been
accommodating for years. This spring, I
am happy to say, there is a more whole
some atmosphere, and things in general
look more tidy and in place than hereto
fore.
Permit me to thank the good people of
Barton, Though it may seem to be rather
q late hour for their kind, sympathetic
feelings; their very liberal and generous
assistance, both night and day, during the
weeks of my greatest and most trying af-
Fiction. 1t is true saying, and worthy
of all acceptation, that friends in need
are friends indeed" Many such I have
found in Barton. May the Oliver Of al
good bestow His manifold blessing:
upon all for their ready and willing aid IL
the hour Of affliction.
May you, friend Earle, be favored witt
the continuance of your valuable health,
long life, and all worldly honors.
Yours respectfully, d. B. RUSSELL
