John Gibson has received lot of new goods
during the past week. A subscription has
been made by our citizens to put down stone
sidewalk from the U. P. church to the hotel
in Americas. It will be built as soon as the
roads will allow. A series of meetings will be
commenced Mt the church, by our Methodist
brethren, on Friday evening, Jan. 22d., to con-
tinue until their Quarterly Meeting, which will
be on Saturday and Sunday, 10Th and 3Oth. The
continued wet and cold weather this winter
will undoubtedly rid US of the chinch bug and
other troublesome insects and bring us
bountiful harvest next summer. Many fields
of fall wheat in this vicinity are looking very
web and promise good crops, though a great
many others were destroyed by the grasshop-
pers in the fall. r.

TAxEs.-The penalty Of ten per cent. for the
nOn-payment of taxes took effect by law on
the 10th. As that day came. on sunday the
County Treasurer Of Lyon county, ont Of re-
gard for theintereSt OF tax payers, and in con-
siderstiou of the horrible condition of the
roads and streams, took the responsibility OF
retaining the books Of his office, and receiving
taxes without the penalty during Monday the
18th. The whole amount Of tax paid thus far
on the levy Of 1888 is about $s5s 600 1.-THE larg-
est payment ever inside in this county on any
single levy, prior 10 the addition OF the penal

We venture that few counties in the State
can make as good a showing In regard TO the

A POOR MEMORY.

there are various reasons why some per
sons have poor memory.
They may have overworkcd their brain.
and exhausted the energies Of the nervous
system. A majority Of the people tax their
minds 70 the utmost, aud instead Of rein
Tigorating themselves after exhaustion.
continue their labors until their systems are
derahged b., excessive mental application.
and the brain loses the power Of receiving
or retaining the impression made upon it.
Many have disqualified themselves for Ia
Dor BY overcharging their brains With more
than they can do. 1t requires great pres
ence of mind, much frmness and decision Of
character for an ardent and enthusiastic
person to take rest when work presses upon
him. and opportunities for labor multiply,
and he..frequently continues in business ill
sickness entirely disables him from pursuing
his calling.
Inactivity of mind IS another fruitful
source Of poor memory However strong
and vigorous the mind may be- originally,
unless exercised it is Ike gold and silver
laid away in a napkin, which soon becomes
tarnished, though if used daily, they would
be bright for years.
Irregularity Of life is another reason for
poor memory. IF persons are subject to ex-
tremes, sometimes getting up early and
sometimes late in the morning; if they in
dulge in excesses of any kind, or trife with
their organization so as to impair its power
they cannot expect to have clear ideas on
any subject-especially good memory. It
is important to live Systematically and me-
thodieally if we would wish to preserve the
brain 10 good condition.
Dissipation spoils the memory. When
the nervous system is over stimulated with
alcohol, tobacco, opium, or by anything that
exeites the brain, the result is unfortunate.
1t may increase the brilisncy for a time, but
soon the constitution becomes affected By
the over stimulation, and the mind viii be
more dull and oLtuse than
ever
