are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote v1g-
orous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and
have obtained a worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are so
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely Withstand OF
evade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger
GUS diseases that have baffied the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. BY their aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not infiamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions

these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

THE GOSPEL MEETINGS series OF
meetings held during the past week by
the evangelists, Graves and Leland, have
excited a remarkable degree of interest
among all classes of our citizens, and
have been success in one particular al
least, the numbers who have attended
them. The Opera House, the largest
room in the city, has been nightly crow d
ed with audiences drawn together by Il
variety of influences. The stores have
been closed each evening during the
week, and members of the various de
nominations have worked together witt
much zeal and energy for the reclamation
of the unconverted. We are not able te
give the number of conversions, though
it will not fall short of 100, among them
a large proportion Of young persons ane
children. The closing meeting on Wed
nesday evening, was probably the larges
indoor gathering ever held in our city
the number within the walls of the Oper.
House being stated at 1850. On this &C
casion, Mr. Graves stood at the door af
ter the close of the services, and sheOl
hands with each person as they passed
out, at the same time receiving the free
will offerings of the people, which wer'
enclosed in envelopes, and must hav'
amounted to quite handsome sum. =

possible loss, and giving to our citizens

AT THE meeting Of the City Council
last Monday, the bonds of four new sa-
looms were presented for approval, the
applications having previously been filed
with Mr.. Durham, the acting Mayor.
Discussion Immediately arose as to the
approval of the bonds, which Mr.. Dur
ham Immediately cut short by the posi-.
tive announcement, that while he held
the position of Mayor he should refuse to
grant another saloon license. This de.
cided position of the acting Mayor will
meet with the warm endorsement of the
greater and best portion of our citizens
While many believe that We haye toe
many saloons already, there are but few
who will not assent to Mr.. Durham's re
mark that we have enough. 1t is but
justice to the Council to say that ma
jority of Its members sustain Mr.. Dur

THE following appears in the Rock
ford Qll) correspondence of the Inter-
Ocean,:
Your correspondent saw a remarkable
old lady last Tuesday, at Belvidere.
She is the widow OF the celebrated John
Plane, of that place, who lived to be 106
years of age. Mrs. Plane is now "a
years of ago. She is the mother of TWEEN
ty-three children, and to-day enjoys her
complete intellectual and physical health
Her eyesight is good, and she requires no
aid from spectacles, while her black hair
has in it not even sprinkling of gray.
The venerable lady above referred to,
is the mother of r. r. Plane, and the
grandmother of John Plane, two of our
we'll knawn citizens. Mrs. Plane recent
ly had her photograph taken, and seated
by her side was one of her descendants
of the fourth generation. She has great
granddaughter here nearly fourteen years
of age. The above paragraph is incor-
rect in one particular The name of Mrs.
Planes husband was Purling Plane, not
John.
