An antidote to the Coughs and Colds
incident to this severe climate can be
found in Coussens' Compound Honey of
Tar. Its undoubted efficacy warrants us
in endeavoring to extend the usefulness
of the greatest Cough Medicine of the age.
Genius, Nature and Science have joined
hands in the production of this invalua-
ble remedy. The busy bee, who roves
from flower to flower, gathering his sweet
store, contributes golden honey, the treas
ure of his industry; while the lofty Pine
pours from its bosom a resinous balm.
Combining these, with other simple ma
terials, selected from the treasury of ma
ture, skillful hands have prepared Cous-
sens Compound Honey of Tar, which
bears the palm as a cure for Coughs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Group, and all diseas-
es of the Throat and Lungs. Price 90
cents bottle, 24yI cow

Spring gdeld Daily Repubnc.
The remarkably early Spring enabling
farmers to prepare for planting very
large Spring crop, together with the mag
niffcent prospect for wheat and grass,
and the satisfactory adjustment of
the financial question by Congress, all
combined to Justify the impression that,
during the season of 1873, the most boun-
tiful crops would reward the efforts of
the farmer aud through this influence
business woule be revived, labor and cap
ital would ind pvofitable employment,
and that during the last half of the pres
ent wear, we would e1nerienee a return
of more prosperous times In fact. 40
general was this belief, thai bnsiness was
stimulated Investments were Neinor co,,,
tenplated, labor found ready en7nIov-
ment, capital was unlocked, and the com
munfty assumed a more cheerful appear-
ance, until reports emanating from the
more southern territory, indicated that
the wheat crop was injured by rust and
fly. These reports, which had some real
foundation, produced quite general i'm
preston that the crop was In peril, And
it had its tenn porary influence to retarC
business. In fact, the community were
almost ready to put on mourning for thC
loss of this important crop.
So much depends upon our wheat crop
that any unfayorable reports, which gaiI
ANYTHING like a general circulation
(whether they be true or not,) affect di
rectlv andfmmediately the business Of tn
country, and almost every individual
but we are pleased to note that recent re
ports furnish ample assurance that tn
scare was premsture and the crop Will b
much better than anticipated, even in 10
calities where it was supposed to be mos
seriously damaged, which damage wa
confined to a small territory, while in tn
most ofthe territory the crop is said T.
have sustained very little damage and TN
yield will very nearly, if not quite, NEE
former expectations; and these ,recen
and favorable reports have had the de
sired effect to revive business, and 1t 1
now almost certain that our expectation

Jefersonville is a neat, well located

Mr., c. w. Hyer, Of our town, has con-

climbed, as it is to be picket fence, ant
the pickets are to have slant ofabout 4;
