Stop That Cough

Many persons hesitate TO try remedy
for disease, on account of the expense,
connected with the uncertainty of its ben
efttng them; while, at the same time, had
they confidence in that remedy, the ex-
pense would be the least objection. With
this fact in view, we make the following
proposition: Any person suffering with
cold, cough or sore throat, that will call
atP Tabor & Sons store and purchase a
bottle of Uale's Cough Cordial, use one
half o. It, and if they then conclude that
it is doing them no good, they can return
the bottle and receive back their money.
No medicine ever sold in this vicinity,
that produced such magical results. Don't
fail to try it. Orange Williams, Proprie-
tor, GAINESVILLE, Wis. 11m6

BrRNs.-Monday next, January 25th,
is the anniversary of the birth of Robert
Burns. There ought to be enough admir-
ers of the genial Scottish bard in Indepen
dence to meet together for an appropriate
celebration of his natal day. In the per-
son of Mr.. Jas. Young, of Westburg, we
might have very acceptable poet for
such an occasion, one whose muse has
the unmistakable Burns flavor; and surely
it would not be hard to find an orator
whom such theme would kindle into an
eloquence at once electric and cOnta
gious. OF course these suggestions are
too late for adoption this year, but we
throw them out for future considera-
ton.

A PAuPER's COFFIN. There is an ire
concilable difference of opinion between
the Board of Supervisors and one of our
undertakers regarding the proper charge
to be made for paupers' collins. The man
of collins recently furnished one of those
indispensable receptacles to the trustees of
Westburg township for the reception of
the remains of some poor person in that
locality, and made out his bill, which was
endorsed by the trustees, at SIG. When
the account came before the Board, they
deemed the charge too much to pay tor
the funeral trappings of "pauper whom
nobody owns" and so cut dowr the bill
to $12. The undertaken, not satisfied
with this depreciation of his wares, has
taken steps to sue the county, and thus by
authority fix the rate at which an impe
Cunious wretch can afford to be buried.
We understand that the papers are ready
for service, and that the trial will prob
ably he some time next week.

IT seems to us that our City Fathers
might exercise little iudicious liberality
in appropriating money enough to pay the
Street Commissioner for clearing the side
walks in the residence portion of the city.
after snow storms. The expenditure could
hardly be very heavy, and it is not proba-
BILE that the most grasping taxpayer
would grumble thereat. The Street Com
missioner is supplied with the tools to do
the work speedily and the whole job
would scarcely occupy more time than a
day, with one man and horse after each
considerable fall of snow What Mr..
Backus does in that direction now is pure
ly gratuitous, and therefore is not widely
extended.
