Stop That Cough

The wonderful results and immense sale
of HALE's Couch CORDIAL the past season,
ought to convince the most skeptical; still
we are going to continue the same liberal
offer that we have hitherto, viz: Any per-
son suffering with cold, cough or sore
throat, who will call at Tabor & Sons or
any other drug store and purchase bottle
of HALE's COUGH CORDIAL. use one-half
of it, and if they then conclude that 1t is
doing them no good, they can return the
balance and receive back their money. =
Who would not test this medicine on such
liberal terms? No medicine ever sold in
this vicinity that produced such wonderful
results. All we ask is that you will try it.

A Gard to the Public.

ED. But LETIN:-It is, perhaps, due to
myself to explain to the public why have
engaged in trade-in limited way-whilc
holding the position of Postmaster. l re-
ceive stated salary and Il small amount
for clerk hire (about half enough to pay
one clerk), but no allowance whatever for
rent or other expenses. For the purpose
of giving the public nice. roomy Post
office building, one that would reflect credit
upon the city, and be source of reason
able pride to our citizens, rented the
building now occupied by me, at cost of
>ight hun,Ired dol'"rs per annum, every
penny of which comes out of my salary
as Postmaster Of course l could not af-
ford to pay such rent from my salary
without adopting some means to make it
up, at least in part. Believing that could
depend upon the public to help me out IN
the venture by patronizing ME in the pur-
chase of such classes of goods as were
suitable tor such a place, l rented the
building and put in a small stock, taking
all the risks myself. have thus far been
grat,fed by the generous patronage ex-
tended the store, and believe the public
will continue to aid me in that way in
giving them nice Post-office building.

Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1875-12-17

THE DONATION hearty and liberal
manner in which our citizens seconded
the motion for donation to Mrs. NJ. H.
Sanford, last Tuesday evening, is charac-
teristic of them, and the proceeds will ma
terially assist the worthy recipient. The
Masonic Hall was thrown open and filled
with numerous company Of ladies AID
gentlemen, who, after depositing their DO
nations with the committee in charge,
spent pleasant hour or two in social con-
verse games, &c. At the same time the
lovers of the dance, to the number of 100
couples, were having most happy time
at Leytze's Hall, the proceeds of the en-
tertainment going to swell the fund for
Mrs. SanfOrds benefit. The whole affair
was we'll managed, thoroughly enjoyable.
and productive of most gratifying results.
One of the most noticeable donations wss
one of $112, mainly contributed by the
Postal clerks on the Ill. Central Railroad,
associates of the late Mr.. Sanford. The
credit of originating and working up this
handsome contribution belongs to Fred
Dettmer, head clerk, and clerk Jas. Glib
son, of Waterloo. Among the donations
other than cash, was handsome new $65

Parsccs, md their Dead.


The Parsees. are so-called Trevor
shippers. There.are about 10000 of
them in India. One of the most Gu
rious things about their customs, is
the way they dispose of their dead
people. The Hindoos burn their de-
ceased relatives and we bury ours,
but those people do neither. What
then? Why, out on some hill they
build a Tower of Silence. Acrossits
circular wall, near the top, they put
a big CRATE like a yhaffie iron. On
this they place the corpses of their
friends and leave them exposed to
vultures, or until decomposed, when
the bones are burned and the ashes
thrown into well or elsewhere
The reason Of thisis, they say thatno
violence should be done to man by
himself or others, and therefore no
harm should be done to earth, air or
water, by burning the dead. They
have deep walls to catch the water
from this Tower of Silence, and the
birds eat the flesh and the fire con-
sumcs the bones.

A Time of II.

As an old man and his four sons
were hunting the wilds of Cooke
county, Texas, a large cougar jumped
out of tree and knocked the father
down. Asst retained its hold on
him after he fell, the boys dared not
shoot; but fortunately the old man
held the beast by the throat with one
hand and by one Of its fore legs with
the other. The boys satheredrond,
and three caught hold Of the cougar
while the fourth emptiedboth barrels
Of his gun into its back, breaking its
spine. 1t was then dispatched with
out difficulty.

Silent Men.

Washington never made speech.
In the zenith of his fame he once at
tempted it, failed, and gave it up
confused and abashed. In framing
the Constitution ofthe United States,
the labor was almost wholly perform
ed in Committee of the Whole, of
which George Washington was the
chairman. He made but two speech
es during the Convention, of a very
few words each. The Convention,
however acknowledged the master
spirit, and historians affirm that had
it not been for his personal populari-
ty, and the thirty words of his first
speech, pronouncing it the best that
could be united upon, the Constitu-
ton would have been rcjcctedby the
people. Thomas Jefferson never did
make a speech. He couldn't do it
Napoleon, whose executive ability is
almost without a parallel, said that
his greatest difficulty was in finding
men of deeds rather than Of words.
When asked how he maintained his
influence over his superior in age
and experience when COMMANDMENTS
chief of an army in Italy, he said,
by reserve. The greasaess Of man is
not measured by the length, Of his
Speeches and their number.
