Through the Ottumwa Democrat of
last week, and by announcement from
the pulpit in this city yesterday, we
learn that Judge Maxwell and the
temperance candidate for governor,
Hon. Elias Jessup, are to be here to
address the people next Saturday.
We should have made mention of
this before now, had We not expect
cd that the friends of the cause would
hand in notice for publication. Our
known liberality in noticing meet
ings generally, it would seem to us,
should preclude the necessity of any
one being driven to the pulpit to adj
veltise such a meeting. We,take the
liberty to announce the meeting now
upon our own responsibility, feeling
certain that the COURIER is not an OBJ
jectionable medium, in the opinion of
our temperance friends, but that they,
singularly enough, must have forgot
ten to avail themselves Of our col
umns.

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.
pAlNin the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure |;
sometimes the pain is in the left side
the patientisrarely able tolie onthe left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently
extends to the top of the shoulder, and
is sometimes mistaken for rheuma-
tism in the arm. The stomach is affect
ed with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costivc,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accompan-
led with a dull, heavy sensation in the
back part. There is generally a con-
siderable loss Of memory, accompan-
led with painful sensation of having
left undone something which ought to
have been done. A slight, dry cough
| is sometimes an attendant. The pa
tient complains Of WEAKNESS and de-
bility he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains Of a
prickly sensation ofthe skin /; his spir-
its are low: and although he is salts
fed that exercise would be beneficial
to him, yet he can scarcely summon
up fortitude enough to try it. In fact,
he distrusts every remedy. Several OF
the abovesymptoms attendthe disease,
but cases have occurred where few of
them existed, yet examination of the
body, afterdcath, has shown the LIvRn
to have been extensively derangcd

The question now is, what are you
going to do about our County Fair
which is 80 near at hand. There is
not mechanic, artisan or farmer in
the city or county, but could contrib
ute something to the show and add
to the interest and success of the Fair
if they would make the attempt. In
Mahaska, not nearly SO wealthy as
Wapcllo, in Van Buren,, still behind
Mahaska county, they always have
successful fairs because the people in
the country and the towns act to-
gether and each contribute to the
success that always follows their ef-
forts. Van Buren, county has just
concluded the most successful fair
they ever had, not only in products
but in a financial way. There were
over l45O entries, and on Thursday
the attendance was about 5000 peo'
|ple. On the last day, yesterday, the
attendance, we are assured, was very
close to 5000 people, which in Q
county where there are no large
towns is pretty good. The receipts
were over 5000. There is no earth
ly reason why we should not have
successful fair, and we will if eacl
individual will do what he can to
ward that end.

Application will be made to the
next term of the Circuit Court to va
cate the town plat OF Ashland in this
county, and also all the streets and
alleys, except perhaps those on which
the main roads run. Twenty years
ago Ashland was a thriving town,
had several dry goods stores and
groceries, a bank, a seminary, fine
brick hotel, and the men who pro-
jectcd it thought Ottumwa and Agen-
cy City would be nowhere by the side
of it in a few years. But alas for hui
man foresight, the b. & NJ. Railroad
was built leaving Ashland about two
miles off the main line, and from tina.
date its decline has been slow but
sure. Its houses became deserted,
have gradually rotted down or been
removed to other places, and now its
owners think it would make better
farm lands than anything else, and
after the sitting of the next Circuit
Court we presume that the town
which Ping built will be numbered
with the things of the past.
