Mars Moons.

When the telegraph announced the
discovery by prof. Hall that our neigh
boring planet had two satellites, and
the dispatch was read the next morn
ing at ten thousand American break
fast tables. what think you was the
effect up ON the hearers? Some coll
ouuv similar to the following was sure
to occur; MARS has two moons, hey!
Pass me the milk, Kitty. Strange,
isn't it that astronomers never saw
them before. Another chop please.
[ wonder what they'll discover next1
These corn cakes are excellent.
What's the latest from Europe"
We have become so accustomed to
startling discoveries and announce
ments, that we take them as a mat

in flaming eolors to make herself seen.
The virtues of DR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Pur-
gative Pellets have been tested in ten
thousands households, whose inmates
will tell you that they consider the
discovery and introduction of these
remedies of far greater importance
to the world than the moons of Mars

4 GENTLE HINT

In our style of climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature,-rain wind and
sunshine often intermingled in single
day,-it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from US by neglected colds, half the
deaths resulting directly from this cause.
A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept
about your home for immediate use will
prevent serious sickness, large doctor s
bill. and perhaps death, by the use of
three or four doses. For curing Con
sumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia,
Severe Coughs. Group or any disease OF
the Throat or Lungs. its success is simply
wonderful, as your druggist will tell you.
Germaa Syrup is now sold in every town
and village on this continent. Sample
bottles for trial. 10c.; regular size, rs
Sold positively by all druggists.

FROM J. A. TYNEs, WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C,-My wife had
suffered for ten or twelve years with a
kind of dry letter, which kept the scalp
covered with dandruff, and caused her
hair to fall out and get very thin and
turned grey, but after using London
Hair Color Restorer," the letter was
cured and the grey hair restored to it's
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. By
telling of the effect it had on the head
of my wife have induced number
to try it, and l want you to send me a
dozen bottles by express. / enclose
postofice order for SO to pay for it.

claims for 1t superiority over all remedies ever
offered to the public for the SAFE. CERTAIN,
SPEEDY, and PERMANENT cure of Ague and
Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or
long standing. He refers to the entire Western
and Southern country to bear him testimony TO the
truth OF the assertion that in whatever Will
it fail to If he directions strictly followed
and carried out. In great many cases single
dose has been Sufficient for cure, ana wnole
families have been cured by single bottle, with
perfect restoration of the general health IL is,
however prudent, and in every case more certain to
cure, II its use is continued in smaller doses ioI
week or two after the disease has been checked,
more especially in difficult and tong standing
cases. Usually this medicine will not require any
aid to keep the bowels in good order. should the
patient, however require cathartic medicine AFTER
having taken three or four doses OF the Tonic,
single dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY
