That clothes, clothes and nothing but
clothes, should absorb the thought of
the greater portionof the feminine world
at the present time must be evident to
all. II we pass group Of ladies on
the street, in any city or town within
knowledge, nine times out of ten we
shall catch remark about their dress,
past, present and prospective on every
fair day hey throng the dry goods
stores, and stand in mute, admiring
crowds before windows where the last
fashions are gorgeously displayed, and
when they return home they are beset
by breathless circle Of friends, eager
to hear if there is yet any news con-
corning the coming shape for spring
bonnets. No sooner are two ladies in
troduced than each sweeps the other
from Kead to foot with . glance as keen
and scrutinizing a. II she were taking
an inventory of her belongings for an
auction catalogue, no one turns her
back upon smiling friends, but they in
stantly pause to sean her in silence,
while she yanishes slowly In perspec-
tive; no conversation is so absorbing
that the female participants do not i'm
prove every diversion between eager
rbapsodieser earnest areanept TO as
certain whesher their neig ghtov's collar
is real or imitation, and her bonnet
home made or Partisan. In short, all
the interest Of their lives, all their trials
and perplexities, cluster about the i'm
mortal question = /" What shall 1 wear?"
whose answer must be decided upon at
least twice each day. atsl .a-l

There is no pain which the Centaur Liniment
will not relieve, no swelling it will not subiue
and no lameness which it will not cure. This is
strong Language, but 1t is true. Where the part
is not gone, its effects are marvellous. 1t has
produced more cures OF rheumatism, neuralgia,
lock-jaw, palsy, sprains, swellings, caked-
breasts, scalds. burns, salt rhuem, ear-ache
&c, upon the human frame, and OF. strains,
SPAWN, gals, &c, upon animals in one year
than have all other pretended remedies since
the world began. 1t is a counter-irritant, an
ail-healing pain relieyer. Cripples throw away
their crutches, the lame walk, poisonous bites
are rendered harmless and the wounded are
healed without a scar. 1t Is no humbug. The
ecipe is published around each bottle. 1t is
selling as no article ever before sold, and it sells
because it does just what it pretends to do
Those who now suffer from rheumatism, pain
or swelling, deserve to. suffer if they will not
use Centaur Liniment More than 1000 certii-
Gates of remarkable cures, including frozen
limbs, chronic rheumatism, gout running tu-
mors, &c, have been receiyei We will send
q circular containing certificates, the recipe,
Sc, gratis, to any one requestingit- One bot
tie of the yellow wrapper Centaur Liniment is
worth one hundred dollars for spawned or
sweenied horses and mules, or for screw-worm
in sheep. Stock owners this Liniment is
worth your attention. No family should be
without Centaur Liniment. j. Z. Rose & Co

Accident.

Tuesday eyeningof last week Delano
Price was returning home from Oxford
when he got bewildered in a strip OF
woods, and lost his course. 1t being
very dark he could not see where he
was going, and walked directly off a
precipice Of rock twenty-six feet high.
His thigh was broken in the fall. This
happened about mile east of Oxford,
near Jonathan Wright's house. He
laid about two hours before he got help.
DIR. Woods was called in and treated
the case i'm a skillful m amer. The pa
tient is in a fair way to recover.

Minstrel Troupe.

Last week we were visited by a tray
cling minstrel troupe, the st. James
Combination (so-called). They put up
the finest stands of bills ever seen in
the town outside of circus and prom
ised one Of our citizens to bring a fine
troupe of 13 performers direct from the
st. James Theatre, Boston, but they
failed in every respect to do so, and the
consequence was they had hardly
money enough to pay their board bill.
If the outside expense had not been
borne by other parties we would have
had enough old clothes, &C., about town
to start a minstrel show. A good troupe
is always welcomed by our citizens, but
those that do not do as they agree to do
will have to take the consequences.

ADVANCE PAYMENT.

The credit system i'm the newspaper
business scatters small sums of money,
aggregating a large amount to each
publisher, over vast extent of country,
rendering collection from tardy debtors
next to impossible and is therefore pro-
ductive of great loss to publishers.
Paper, ink, labor and all other sources
of expenditures in newspaper offices
require cash.
Better papers can be published when
paid for i'm advance than when the pro-
prietors are pressed for money to meet
the daily demands made upon them.
There is little doubt that law OF
Congress will, in few months, require
postage to be paid on all papers sent
through the mails, and that it must be
paid in advance by the publishers.
In view of the foregoing, and other
considerations which it is not deemed
necessary to enumerate, the under
signed, publishers of the Holmes Coun-
ty REPUBLICAN and Holmes County Far
aaer, agree to adopt the pay-in-advance
system, to send no papers from their
respective Offices from and after the
FIRST DAY OF JULY NEXT,
unless the same be paid for in advance.

Clean the Streets.

The question of cholera is no longer
one of possibilities. 1t actually exists
in Cincinnati, Memphis and Nashville,
in the latter city to degree which has
already reached the proportions of an
epidemic. We see no reason to believe
that it is the worst, virulent form of
Asiatic cholera, but that it is cholera of
dangerous type, the death reports of
Memphis and Nashville clearly show.
Just how far the plague is to spread be-
fore the summer is over is of course
only a matter of conjecture. Much,
very much indeed, will depend upon
the precautions which are instituted.
we should see to it, that our town is
kept In good order, free from filth and
garbage. Some of the streets and al
leys need cleaning badly. Let every
family see that their prmeises are kept
clean and healthfnl.

AGreat Horror Done Away with.

House cleaning is a great horror to
nine men cut of every ten. When that
time comes the linen folks" as a rule,
give the domestic hearth a'wide BERTH
Oceans of suds-the product of tons of
soap-fairly food every part Of the
house. The women, from the mistress
down, labor as they never worked be-
fore, and what with the discomf fort, the
smell of suds and the dampness, and
not unfrequently sickness, the product
of colds and OverwOrk, matters are gen.
orally disagreeable. The simple use of
SapOlio instead of soap does away with
all this discomfort. 1t lightens the Ia
Dor hundred per cent, because it re-
moves dirt, grease, stains and spots,
with hardly any labor, with but little
water, and in one tenth the usual time.
