"a Happy New Year:''

To every reader of the Reporter, we
send greeting--.A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
The old year has gone into the past
full of good deeds and rich in hallowed
memories. Spring. with her violets and
tender blades; Summer, with her flow
ers and Juicy berries; Autumn, in rus
set clad. with symbolic golden sheafs.
tripping among the dead and cracking
leaves; and Old Winter, with his lev
pendants and jewels of glittering frost :
all have "circled round'' to the music
of the spheres in the grand quadrille
of the seasons, and are gone-to be
seated by their partners, while another
glorious quartettc ''comes on, and, In
response to the lusty shout of old Ma
ture, call set, go whirling away adown
the avenue of time, where the DAYS are
mile posts and the months are just way
stations along the great highway-the
highway we all are trudging over, that
leads finally to the inevitable Jordan.
Let us all 90 hand in hand, helping one
another over the rugged paths and slip
perry places, till we reach the grand old
ford where thousands have gone over
before us, and whose footsteps We might
discern in its sands, but for the never
ceasing tide that wipes out alike the
foot-mark5 Of plebian and prince.
The old year is dead. The new year
is just born and as we remember the
deceased, we think how much he has
done for US, and hope very naturally
that the stripping may bear as good a
record. Our nation has been blessed,
and mcrcies have been scattered with
bountiful hand
At home, we have much to be glad
over--more people, a healthy develop
mcnt of our resources, railroads are
showing us the outer world, manufac-
tories are springin@ up in our midst,
and all around and about us is that be-
tokcning a brighter aud moro prosper
Gus future.
Now word for ourselves. The Re
porter, with this number, begins anoth-
er volume. During the year we have
strivcn to make it just such a paper as
our county required and we have the
satisfactory assurance, in the doubling
of our subscription list, that we have
not failed in our endeavors The Re
porter is established and will continue
to improve and keep pace with the de-
velopment of our county. Still we ask
our people to extend us their aid and
help us to swell our list, plcdging our
selves to never let pass an opportunity
whereby, by improving it, we may pre-
sent a better sheet or prove more yal-
liable auxiliary i'll the furtherance of
the manifold interests of our county.

WANTED 70 Be HEARD FROM.

II anybody has ever used the thor
ough and scientific course Of treatment
recommended by the proprietor Of DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy for tho cure Of
catarrh and has not been perfectly
cured, the proprietor, DR.. r. v. Pierce,
would like to hear from that person,
and by addressing him at the Worlds
Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y, such per-
,on. n there be one, will hear Of some
thing to his or her advantage, as the
Doctor Is In earnest when he offers
$500 reward for u case Of catarrl which
he cannot cure, and Is perfectly able
TO a It II he fails In q single case, as
any may ascertain upon Inquiry.
The thorough cour'e Of treatment re-
ferred to and recommended by DR..
Pierce consists In the use Of DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy with DR.. Plerce's
Nasal Douche. which Is the only means
by which the fluid can be carried high
up and applied to all parts Of the nasal
passages and the chambers connected
Herewith, In which ulcers exist and
from which the discharge proceeds. In
addition to this thorough application
of the Remedy, which should always
be used warm, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery should be taken
earnestly as constitutional treatment,
without which few cases can be cured,
as the disease Is always constitutional
and must be treated accordingly. This
treatment has no unpleasant features
about it, and has the advantage Of
never driving the disease to the lungs,
as there Is danger Of doing by the use
of strong, irritating snutfs or poisonous
solutions.
