The audience that gathered in the Cong. church en Wednesday evening, the 24th, had the exquisite pleasure of listeningt class lecture, by Mir. Wm. l. Marshall of Fitchburg, Mass. His lecture was on The Yellowstone National Park, with great variety of views of the geysers, cascades, canon, lake and river views which were too beautiful for pen to de- scribe. With all the magnificent views on the screen, accompanied with the scholarly de- scription, and refined manners of the speaker, we were truly thankful for ''an evening in wonderland"

There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad- vice of Druggists and your friends, and try one bottle cf Greens August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try Its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case. You can buy sample bottle for ten cents to try. Three doses will relieve the worst case: Sold by all A. s. Wright 6 O., of Lttchfeld
