The weather has been all that could be
desired and many farmers in this vicinity
have been sowing wheat and getting ready
to plant corn.
The roads are almost impossible, the
mud in some places being up to the hubs
of wagons rendering travel difficult, con-
sequently farmers from the surrounding
towns, being unable to get to market
without danger of break down.
By the way, We have first class deba-
ting society here which is prospecting finely
and composed of some of our best farm
ers The financial question has thus far
occupied the attention of the society.
Some sharp arguments have been advanced
pro and con, but the decision has always
been in favor of the silver dollar. [
sometimes think, however, that the senti~
ment 10 SO strong in that direction that, a
different conclusion by the referee is
hardly attainable, In addition to the
usual routine debates, the exercises are
lnterspersed with singing, which il partic.
lpated in by some of our best ladies.
There 10 the usual amount of gossip
stirring and, as usual, personalities are

even tenor of the way.

these parts and daily grows in popularity,

"9erman Syrup."

No other medicine in the world was ever
gwen such test of its curative qualities
as Boschee's German Syrup. In three
years two million four hundred thousand
small bottles of this medicine were dis
trlbuted free of charge by druggists in this
country tothose afflicted with consumption,
asthma, Group, severe coughs, pneumonia
and other diseases of the throat and lungs.
giving the American undeniable proof that
German Syrup will cure them. The re-
suit has been that druggists in every town
and village in the United States are re-
commencing them to their customers. Go
to your druggist, and ask what they know
about It. Sample bottles 10 cents.
Regular size IS cents. Three doses will
relieve any case.

DAY last week, found one of the children
suffering from severe cough, and expressed
my opinion that it was case in which
medical assistance should be obtained.

very bad, but said that before calling in a
doctor she intended to try cure that she
had long used in similar cases, and never
found to fail On being pressed to com
municate the prescription, she gravely in-

4 Perfect Toilet SOap.

First among the requisites of the toilet Is good
article OF Soap, bnt to procure it is not always
easy matter Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market made from coarse and deleterious
materials, and their delicate coorlng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive I'M
purltles. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject positively startling and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable ESPECIAL
ly II applied to the head; injuring the hair, irrta
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement of gentlemen who makes the scent
ing OF Soaps his business; be recently declared that
persOns engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven TO ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last obviated, however
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill Of Mr.
b. T. Rabbit, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer. whose immense establishment
Is by iar the greatest Of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest success is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment Mr. Babbttt has succeeded in perfectin& the
composition of the hrest toilet soap ever intro
ne p4 AilslP'I IlsIeulens @Lc the puFest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department of industry.
a.''B. T. Babbitt's Toilet Soap" is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury il designated
and for applications to the delicate skin of infants
children and ladies, it s altogether unequaled in it's
StAOIlIGHb properties MS COdp is HOb ptituLuSus
the Ingredients being OF such absolute purity as to
require no aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers the
absence of artificial perfume the perfection Of
sweetness and this peculiar characteristic of B. T.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders it the most healthful
and agreeable article of the kind manufac-
tured
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children, this Soap is equally appropriate for
gentlemens toilet, and as ii makes heavy lather
it is also of the finest soaps for BARRIERS use.
IL is just being placed upon the market but the
demand for it will soon become general.-N. Y,
