TnE NORMAL SCHOOL.

Bloomsbury ought to be and we trust it is We
ry greatly interested in the rebuilding of the
Normal School boarding hall. There is no en-
terprise which has given our place so much eclat
and aided in our general development so much
~ that has done. Its conspicuous position and
beauty commanded the attention of every
uasser.by and received favorable consideration,
It's destruction was great calamity, but not an
unmitigated one because its rebuilding will cause
to be expended here, within the next few months
at least $4,000. All this will circulate among
Ms here, and what our citizens may give in the
erection of the new building will come back to
II EN- at once, with other money coming from
lhe Insurance Companies and from the State
Nor should it be forgotten that during the last
wear the money brought into this town by the
school has been more than $4,000. 1t is not
hard to see why Bloomsbury is improving, why
new buildings are in process of erection ana OLD
ones being repaired and rei'ted'
II is that which has kept us employed while
other towns have stagnated. Let every one put
hi. shoulder to the wheel and urge with hl'
means his voice and influence the pushing for

There is no expenditure of money which viii

he has found "Grc the old established organs Of

class Of iOnrnals.' II MI Stewarts judgment is Of
value, there IS no difficulty In deciding which paper
It is for the interest Of business mon to advertise in
The COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT, upon which this paper IS
partially founded was established in 1885, and the
COLUMBIAN now enjoys u wider circulation and
greater prosperity than It did. II goes regular

play that makes them attractive to It's patrons thus
chsurng greater certainty that they Will peruse
them. While It's circulati0nis undoubtedly much the

COLUMBIAN are no higher than those OF other papers

HELP TO MOTHERS NURSING INFANTs.-
1t is conceded fact that mothers who have
the care, anxiety and draught of nursing in
fants are weak and need the aid of some
strengthening tonic to make up the nour-
shment required for the growth of the
child. Ale, porter,and lager beer have often
been recommended. OF late, since physicians
have become aware that Port Grape Wine
produced by Alfred Speer, of Passaic, n. j.,
is strictly pure thay have prescribed it in
stead of ale and porter. This wine is prin-
cipally sought for by mothers who have nur-
sing in iants as the best supply medium to be
found. The wine is rich in body and not in
toxicating but gently stimulating. Druggists
generally keep it, and sell it for dollar a
bottle - Enga,fcr.
