ET Most of the farmers whom we have
spoken to upon the subject think the
present growing wheat crop in Hawkins
county an unusual fine one; though &C.
casiOnally we meet with prophet OF
evil, who says wheat does not look any
better than the last years crop did the
middle of May.
Corn is coming up splendidly. A large
crop has been put out. The ground has
been, as general thing, well prepared,
and if the season is favorable an unusual
amount of this grain will be raised. Oats
are also said to be looking well. Gardens
have never presented a more promising
appearance, and altogether, we are not
looking for a famine, in this the one
hundredth year of the Independence of
Uncle Sam.

The Importance of Good Habits

The Importance of Good Habits
Good habits tend to prOlong life. The laws of
Nature are in perfect harmony with those of Ma
lures God. Habits OF life should be regular The
animal functions should be regularly performed,
sleep should not be put off until qntimely hours,
unnecessary and depraved excitements should be
avoided. The observance of hygenic rules will
not, however, always rescue q naturally delicate
constitution from wreck. When this is the case
wise discretion should be exercised in selecting
tpnic to be used. Hostetter's Bitters, on account
of the purity Of their alchoc basis the powerfully
invigoratng properties of the vegetable elements
which they contain, and their Alternative efficacy,
are precisely the article required to create energy
in and restore regularity to the feeble SYSTEM and
thus preserve it from destruction. For those dis

Unlimited Remedial Resources.
MoRRIsrowN, MAY 90, 1876.

People some time suppose that Dr.
Pierce's Family Medicines represent
the entire extent Of his resources for
curing diseases. This is an error. Ex-
pereince proved that while the Golden
Medical Discovery, Favorite Prescrip-
ton, Pleasant Purgative Pellets, Com
pound Extract of Smart-Weed, and DIR.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy. would, if faith
fully used, cure a large variety of chronic
complaints, there would be here and
there case which, from its severity, or
from its complication with other disor-
ders, would resist their action. These
exceptional cases required a thorough
examination into their symptoms, to
ascertain the exact nature and extent
of the disease or diseases under which
the patient was laboring, and the use of
specific remedies to meet and overcome
the same. This led to the establishment
of the Worlds Dispensary, at Buffalo,
N. Y, with its Faculty of Physicians
and Surgeons, each of whom il skilled
in the treatment of chronic disorders in
general and those belonging to bis own
special department in particular. To
one is assigned diseases of the throat and
lungs; to another, diseases of the kid
neys and urogenital Organs; to another,
diseases of the digestive system; to
another, diseases of the nervous system;
and to another, diseases of the eye and
ear. Thus the highest degree of per
lection in medicine and surgery is at
tanned. The establishment of this in
stitution enables the Doctor to meet a
long-felt want in the treatment of the
more severe chronic affections BY a
careful consideration of the symptoms
as given in writing, he successfully
treats thousands of cases at their homes.
Other visit the Dispensary in person.
The amplest resources for the treatment
of lingering affections are thus placed at
the disposal of every patient, and those
on whom the proprietary medicines do
not have the desired effect can procure
more thorough and efficient course by a
personal application to the proprietor of
the Worlds Dispensary.

On Thursday morning last, Mr.. II. L.
Bevans, one of the oldest citizens of
the Minnesota, died at the Finney farm,
In Goodhue township, of chronic all
ment with which he had been afflicted
several years. His funeral took place
on Sunday afternoon, from the Metho
dist Episcopal church in this city, the
remains being inferred in Oakwood GEM
etery. The funeral service at the
church was largely attended and was
solemn and imposing ceremony. The
sermon, by Rev. Chauncey Hobart, was
both appropriate and interesting. Rev.
Mr.. Spaight, also, made some very af-
fecting remarks on the occasion. Mr..
Bevans come to this State originally as
early as l849 or 1850 and established
himself in business in St. Paul. He re-
moved to Red Wing in 1853, we be-
lieve, and was in business here several
years, having for a partner Mr.. Geo. w.
Parker. He afterward went to farming
in Pierce county, Wis.,, on account of
his failing health, but not receiving the
benefit hoped for, he removed thence to
Texas about year ago, remaining
there until August last. Since his re-
turn here he has made his home in
Goodhue township in this county where
his decease occurred. He was An en-
| terprising, public-spirited man, very
generally respected and esteemed by all
who knew him, and his death is truly
public loss. He was 81 years of age
and leaves widow but no children.
