A hard old customer was Badger.
He never was known to attend church,
and was considered the wickedest man
in the small town in which he lived.
One night his old COW was prowling
about the house seeking what she
might devour. and stuck her head in
the swill-barrel. BY the time the bar
rel was empty her head was so far in
that she could not withdraw it, and
she made blind rush to free herself
from the incumbrance. As luck
would have it, she struck bee-line for
the house, and directly tor the front
door. The old man was sitting inside
telling his family oil about great
murder trial. when the COW gave a
frightful below, which was prolonged
by the empty barrel into an unearth-
ly roar. At the same time the front
door crashed from its hinges, and the
COW, with her uncommon head-gear,
bolted into the room. "Qld wicked
ness" gave one agonized look at the
frightful demon which confronted
him; each separate and individual
hair stood on end; a shivering feeling
crawled up and down his back; his
eyes protruded from his head; alto.

How TO GET RID OF WARrs.--
Warts are very troublesome and dis
figuring. The following is a perfect
cure, for even the largest, without
leaving any scar, and has been tested
by many Take a small piece of beef,
steep it all night in vinegar, cut as
much from il as will cover the wart,
and tie il on; il the excresence is on
the forehead, fasten the beef on with
strip of sticking plaster. II may be
removed in the day and put on every
night. In one fortnight the wart will
die and peef of. The same prescrip
tion will cure corns.

Liver is King.

The Liver is the imperial organ of the
whole human system, as it controls the life,
health and happiness of man. When it is
disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of
ailments are the natural result. The diges-

and blood, the action of the brain and ner-
vous system, are all Immediately connected
with the workings OF the Liver. 1t has
been successfully proved that Green's Au-

Cuban chill tonic, the great West Indies

and physicians prescriptions fail to cure.
Thousands of bottles have been given away
and not a single failure. 1t cures chills
and fevers quicker than anything else on
earth, and the cure is complete and perma-

ness. 1t gives health to the poor, pale, sick
sufferer. 1t gives an appetite and purities

medicine in the world. 1t should be in
every family in this town and county, be-

Mr.. EDITOR: I have never seen any
thing in your paper about the home OF
Thomas Jefferson, and as I have just made
a visit there thought would try and give
you some idea Of what I saw. 1 am little
girl of ten years of age, and Of course can
not give as correct an account as an older
person.
The name is Monticello, and Mr.. Wheel
er showed us around and told Us about every
thing that was in the house; he showed us
the death bed of Mr.. Jefferson, and also the
chair in which Mr.. jefferson rode thousands
of miles before there were any trains. And
we went out in the yard and saw all Of
Charlottesville, it was a beautiful view.
| And we saw the print of Col. Tarleton,
horses hoof on the porch floor, made when
he was pursuing Mr.. Jefferson. We next
entered the large hall, in which was the big
clock and ladder made by Mr.. jefferson 5
own hands From the breast of the Ameri-
can Eagle, which was surrounded by thir-
teen stars, hung an old chandelier, around
the wall about two thirds of the way runs
a small picture gallery, which serves also to
connect the two wings Of the house, just
back of the hall is the drawing room, which
is a beautiful room, has an iniaid floor and
two large mirrors, which came from The
" old countrie." From here we entered the
dining room, which was connected with the
tea room by glass doors, next We went uF
stairs, the steps are so narrow that we had
to 90 single file, the chambers up stairs are
small and low pitched, and in them were
inches in the walls for the beds, 50 that viii
the heavy curtains the fsshion of that day
must have been very warm; We went NJ
some more steps, only to peep in dark
: gloomy chambers, though there was on
large circular room which was used as
? music and dancing room, we also went oi
] the root, where the view was lovely, higl
e mountains enclosed the undertaking valley;
l and amid the green trees nestled the littl
