Nature Provides.

An antidote to the Coughs and Colds
incident to this severe climate can be
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-
BILE remedy. The busy bee, who roves
from flower to flower, gathering his sweet
store, contributes golden honey, the treas
pours from its bosom a resinous balm.
Combining these, with other simple ma
terials, selected IRON the treasury of ma
rure, 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. 24yl cow

Special Correspondence of the Herald.
Another new building just completed
on West High street.
Mr.. C. NJ. Bush and lady were in town
last Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Frank Smith, of Milledgeville, O.,
was in this place last week, on business.
Mr.. Jesse Campbell, of Washington C.
H., has been visiting friends here for sew
eral days.
Miss Mary Dunton has been visiting her
relative, Mrs. J. N. VanDeman, of Wash
ton, for quite a while.
Miss Rosa Shouts returned home last
Saturday evening, after stay of nearly
two weeks among friends in Jasper.
Our highly esteemed fEfend, Geo. Hem
kle, was in this neighborhood last Sab
bath. We are glad to learn that he is
having degree of success in the grocery
business since he left us.
Mr.. Guthrie, we are informed, intends
soon to close his Office in this place, and
go to St. Louis, thence to New Orleans,
from which place he will probably go
east, returning to Jasper about the first of
August next, when he will again resume
the grain business.
The Sunday School lately organized at
Harmony Chapel is in f1ourishing con-
dition. Mr.. Frank Smith, the esteemed
Superintendent, is great favorite with
the little folks, and is doing all he can to
make the school of special interest to
them.
| Some of the notorious lotteries are still
playing their confidence games on the
public, at least in this vicinity. Several
of our citizens have drawn very fine
| golds( p watches and chains, and some
are lawfully entitled to certificates of gold
mining stock, valued at $500, $1,000, etc.,
and all this from firms they never had
any knowledge of. Some of the notices
may be served bona tide, but we have our
idea of the amount of money a person
could get for the goods, if he were com
PEELED to sell adralorens. ~
A runaway occurred at this place last
Thursday, which will not soon be for
gotten, especially by those who were in
the scene of action. AS Messrs. D. l.
Worthington, Ace Gregg, w. G. Tanzey
and Charles Backenstoe, were returning
to their homes in Washington c. H.,
from Squire Marks residence, where
they had been attending trial, theiI
horses became frightened and ran away
fortunately, those in the most imminent
danger had the presence of mind to lear
from the buggy before the ''upset'' occur
red, thus probably saving their lives. Mr.
Worthington received the most severe
hurts of any; but, we are glad to learn, il
getting all right again. Messrs. Gregg
and Tanzey were also slightly bruised
The whole thing was caused by one sid
of the shafts becoming detached from on
of the buggies while the horse were trav
cling at pretty lively rate. ADoIs.

Before You Buy Examine


A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The re-
suit of these diseases upon the masses of
intelligent and valuable people is most
alarming, making life actually burden
instead of a pleasant existence of enjoy
ment and usefulness as it ought to be.
There is no good reason for this, if you
will only throw aside prejudice and skep-
ticism, take the advice of Druggists and
your friends, and try one bottle of Green's IS
August Flower. Your speedy relief is
certain. Millions of bottles of this medi-
cine have been given away to try its vir-
tues, with satisfactory results in every
case. You can buy a sample bottle for 10
cents TO try. Three doses will relieve the
worst case. Positively sold by all Drug
gists on the Western Continent.

HOW to cure Consumption.

The great number of deaths from this
destroyer of the human race, and its rapid
increase, call with trumpet voice for the
dethronement of its power. The cure
has been discovered and is saving thous-
ands. Genius has invented a detector !;
nature has furnished the remedy. Avail
yourself of it before it is too late. A slight
cold, if neglected, often terminates in con-
sumption. To guard against this sure
and fatal destroyer use the only known
antidote, Coussens' Compound Honey of
Tar. Price only fifty cents bottle. For
sale by F. A. Murray, Druggist.

Tin wedding,

On Saturday evening last, it being the
tenth anniversary of the marriage of Mr..
and Mrs. A. E. Silcott, their friends took
the liberty of making them surprise
visit, in commemoration eff the event.
The affair was very successfully and
pleasantly carried out, and Mr.. and Mrs.
S., at a seasonable hour in the evening
found their spacious residence taken pos
session of and well filed by jolly COM
pany of uninvited, but evidently none
the less welcome guests. Each arrival
was accompanied by rattle of tinware,
and by the time the guests were all ar
rived the pile of household implements of
that class of ware had assumed immense
proportions. Hearty congratulations and
expressions of kind wishes to Mr.. S. and
lady, and real lively and happy social
time were the order. 1t was one of the
pleasantest affairs that has transpired in
Washington society for some time past.

EDS. HERALD:
Please allow us to return our profound
thanks to our numerous friends, who so
kindly and unexpectedly called on us on
Saturday evening last, (the 10th anniver-
sary of our wedding) bearing with them
numerous articles in the shape of tinware,
much of which was quite valuable, and
all of which will be treasured in our
household as souvenirs of past kind re-
membranes. The party was certainly
the most pleasant one weever mingled
with, and we only hope we may be per-
mitted to meet them often.
Yours.
A. E. SILCOTT AND WIFE.

The HITCH an the uum1clpaIItYa
tits to be regretted that there is an un-
pleasantness existing between a portion
of our town council and our excellent
Mayor. There being a vacancy in the
council, the law makes it the duty of the
Mayor, by appointment, with the concur
renee of the council, to fill the vacancy.
AS our readers are aware, a number of
the best business men of our town have
been appointed by the Mayor and prompt
ly rejected by the council and as yet we
have not been able to learn what the OBJ
jections to these men were, but it is
suspected that it is because these gentle
men would not, if in the council, vote to
repeal what is known as the 9 O'Clock
ordinance. Whether this is the reason OF
not, we do not know; but it does appear
to US that there exists a factious opposi-
ton to the Mayor, that has no foundation
except in wilIful determination to battle
him in his efforts to fill the vacancy with
man worthy of the position.
AS if to add further to the difficulties,
councilman j. A. Williams, who was re-
| elected, for some reason best known to
himself refused to take the oath of office
on Monday evening last, in accordance
with the provisions of the law. This
leaves two vacancies in the council,
which, from present indications, cannot
be filled by appointments; but the ques-
ton will have to be settled by the votes OF
the corporation at special election. The
only objection we can see to this mode is
the additional expense it will add to ou1
financial liabilities.
We hope, however, that better state
of feeling may prevail, and that the
Mayor, in the exercise of his appointing
prerogative, may be sustained by ma
jOrity of the council.
