You Have NO Excuse.

Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint? Is there
any reason why you should go on from
day to day complaining with sour stomach,
sick head ache, habitual costiveness, pal
pitation Of the heart, heart burn, water
barsh, gnawing and burning pains at the
pit of the stomach, yellow skin, coated
tongue and disagreeable taste in the mouth,
coming up of food after eating, low spir-
its, etc? No! 1t is positively your own
fault if you do. Go to your druggist and
get a bottle of GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER
for 70 cents, your cure is certain, but if
you doubt this, get sample bottle for 10
cents and try it. Two doses will relieve
you. 1eOw1y

supposedC9se Of Dro1vninq.

On Christmas night, two men named
johnson and Hall, while crossing the iron
bridge over Paint Creek between Milli-
kan's Mill and town, saw, or claimed to
have seen man evidently very drunk,
stagger off the bridge, and fall into the
creek, and afterwards heard him cry for
help. The creek was very high. The
men went to several houses in the neigh
bOrhood, to get help to rescue him, but did
not succeed in awakening any one, the
hour being late. One of them then came
up town for help, but no one seems to
have credited their story. Next morning
John Frazier was missing and is still moi
found, and it is thought he may have been
the man they saw fall. The creek has
been dragged, and search is now being
made, but no body has been found vet.

means of education furnished to the peo-
pie at large.
The wonder to us Is that an intelligent
editor who believes the doctrine that
"the great proportion Of violations OF
law are due 10 poverty" can fail to de-
nounce over and again and at all times
the monopolies that have created and are
increasing the poverty Of the mass of the
people. Can any one fail to see that
the monopoly of the soil which was made
for all, was the first great cause of the
slavery and poverty ofthe people? Is any
one so blind as not to know that there is
no poverty, to speak of, in neighborhoods
which chance to be uncursed by this
monopoly Does not every one know,
on the other hand, tnat there is great
poverty wherever this monopoly exists2
Can any one fail to perceive that the
chartered monopolies Of the country
produce povertyi
DO they not enjoy special privileges
and thus give to the strongest and the
richest extraordinary advantages over
the masses? Can any one fail to see
that great National Banking institution
that monopolizes the currency, the busi-
ness life-blood of the country, secures
wonderful profits to the great capital
lists, and tavors the large dealers in
breaking down competition and thus
plundering the peoplef Is it not patent
to every one who has eyes to see, that
our system Of taxation is the offspring OF
selfishness and was designed with the
special object of making the poor con-
tribute large proportion of the revenue
of the country, which revenue is largely
expended In still further enriching the
monopolists:
Milllonaires are made by every large
expenditure OF city, State or National
funds in public improvements. Is it not
evident to every one who is not fool,
that our extravagant social life which is
sustained by high salaries to officials, is
maintained by the rich for the sake OF
profit to themselves at The expense OF
the impoverishment of othersf Is it not
known that families of moderate means
emulate those of large resources in their
social habits, and by so doing they break,
and by breaking competition is dimin-
ished, ,and larger profits are secured to the
wealthy dealers?
These are some of the leading causes
of poverty.

aN, FOE MAMIE AND .sB~ EoR BEN.

~N' for Mamie and "B" for Ben;
I see them now as saw them then,
On the bark of the Oak-tree wed,N
SIZE waist-deep in the clover white,
And the liquid gold of the June sunlight
swept over her sweet young head.
And stood carving the letters twain,
That time and tempests have all in vain
Striyen to blur and blot;
They live in the oak trees dusty grain,
Stamped as their memory on my brains
Changing and fading not.
Oil the VOWS that vowed that day,
Their broken shafts in my bosom stay
Wounding it hour byaour.
Could be false to one 30 truer
Dared be cruel, MY love, to you,
Mamie, my lily fiowera
Ere the snow had whitened those letters twain
In the old church porch you hid yourpain,
AS my bride and passed by;
Your eyes were brave, but your cheek grew
white,
The cheek should have pillowed that hight
Where 1t never more may lie.
Little Mamie, you are at rest,
The buttercups grow over your breast,
Close by the graveyard gate;
But ah l live to rue the day
God tempted my steps from love away,
And mine is the sadder fate.
For I'd give the rest Of my life tonight
To see you sit in the clover white,
The sun on your locks Of gold,
And carve once more, as carved them then.

On the bark OF the oak old.

At least halt of the players at Monaco
are women, who seem to grow even
more excited over their gains or losses
than the men, and, otherwise, than
would be expected OF females, they are
very quiet, showing only by their faces
what their feelings are. Of course che

some OF them flush, sharing the win
nings of some poor tool who has had u
run-of-luck; others impecunious and
looking out with greedy eyes for some
one'to whom they can attach themselves,
and yet others who have come OH alone
or otherwise from Paris or London to try
their luck. There are some very old
women at the table who seem almost too
feeble to get there alone, Tut their eyes
sparkle as they win and note the
chances, and they handle the little tool
which is used for manipulating the coin
on the taUle, as deftly as the younger
ones. 1t is a noticeable fact That very
few professional gamblers other than
those connected with the bank are to be
seen at this place, and also that the bank
is able to pay such enormous sums OF
money for rent, servants, musicians,
