Trust what Time has sanctioned.

The maxim that the voice Of the people is
the voice of the divinity, may in some cas-
es, be open to doubt, but the testimony of
honest and enlightened witnesses extending
through a series of years, and all to the same
purport, is worthy Of credence, admits of
no question. Upon such testimony the
reputation Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
as an antidote and cure for many ailments is
based During tho twenty years that 1t has
been before the world, innumerable prepa-
rations intended to,compete with it, have
gone up like rockets, and come down the
extinguished sticks. Meanwhile the pro-
gress of that Incompatible tonic has been
swift and steady-always upward and on
ward like the eagles flight. Its introduce
ton produced a revolution in therapeutics,
and it proved to be one Of those sanitary
revolutions that cannot go backwards. To-
day Hostetter's Bitters is one Of the most
popular remedies in christendom, and COM
mands larger sale than any other medical
preparation, domestic or imported, on this
side of the Atlantic. As cure for dyspep-
STA, bilious disorders, nervous affections
general debility, and as preventive Of cpl.
demic feyers, it takes precedence Of every
other remedy. This fact should teach the
ambitious country dealers who endeavor tC
foist their local abortions on the public in its
stead, how futile their small attempts to ca
| jole the community must necessarily be

ceived and approved.
w. L. Sholner made a report
of the receipts for the present year,
showing that after giving him cred.
it for all proper disbursements,
there still remained in his hands
several hundred dollars.
1t was moved and carried that
the Secretary notify delinquent
stockholders, to come forward i'm.
mediately and pay off the amount
of stock by them subscribed ; and
in the event they failed SO to dc
within thirty days, that suit should
be instituted against them.
The meeting then proceeded to
the election of Directors for the
ensuing year which!resulted us fol-
lows, viz. Fl. F. Dusenberry, ia

ny of the Association.
The Fair this year was COM
plete success, and too much cannot
be said, as to the efficiency Of the

cultural and mechanical resources
of Lincoln county are just in their
inception. and TIE officers of the
Association are determined to de-
velop the same = and by so doing,
will show that Lincoln county can,
and will, stand prominent to any
county in the State, for stock rails
ing and grain growing.
