claim their praise for this wonderful

lives. Not only does it positively cure
Consumption, but Coughs, Colds, Asth-
ma, Bronchitis, Hay Fever, Hoarseness,
and all affections of the Throat, Chest
and Lungs yield at once to it's wonder
full curative powers as if by magic. We
do not ask you to buy until you know
what you are getting. We therefore
earnestly request that you call on your
druggist, Smale Brothers, and get trial
bottle free Of charge, which will con-
vince the most skeptical of its wonder
full merits, and show you what a regular
one dollar sized bottle will do. For sale

CITY AND COUNTY.
g Ring Out the Old, Ring In the New. y

Ere the next issue Of the BULLETIN
reaches the homes Of its readers through
out the county, another year will
have been plucked from the cycle of
Time, and consigned to the dark shadow
of Oblivion. The Old Year, with its
sunshine and shadow, its hallowed rem
iniscences, and bitter recollections,
shall have been buried forever from our
sight, though many OF the changes it has
brought to us, and the dark shadows it
has cast over us, are indelibly traced on
memory's tablets beyond the power of
any course of events to efface.
We are standing to-day, just where
we were year ago, and our thoughts
are much the same. The memories of
the unveiled past, come crowding over
US, and we find ourselves unconsciously
trying to pierce with our minds eye,
the mystic veil of the future. We
have much to regret, much that it gives
us pain to remember. We see where
we have erred, and we determine to
avoid the mistake in the future. Thus
we find ourselves forming good resolu-
tons for our guidance hereafter, and
whether they are kept or not, we are
better for them.
Closely following upon the obsequies
of the Old, comes with joy and laugh
ter, and merriment, the New, and the
pains and heart aches of the past are
forgotten. May the actions we have to
regret during the past year, be lessened
in the year to come, and the recollec-
tons that shall give us pleasure, and
happiness, be multiplied unto us forev-
err more. 1t is our wish that next
years retrospect may bring sweeter
and brighter hopes, and that
all patrons of the BULLETIN, of what
ever station may enjoy with glad hearts
1 HAPPY New YEAR.

Christmas Wedding Bells.

At the residence Of the bride s
parents, at Traer, Iowa, on Wednes-
day evening, January 1st, 1879" is the
reading of an invitation that came to us
one day this week, together with the
cards Of Mr.. H. H. Bissell and Miss Et-
tie Connell The groom is the son of
Dr. E. NJ. Bissell, Of Independence, and
was formerly resident here. He has
established himself in the dentistry
business at Traer, and now is going to
take unto himself partner for life.
We offer good wishes to the contracting
parties.
On Christmas Eve, at the residence
of the parents of the groom, Mr.. Elwood
d. Wilson was united in marriage to
Miss Amanda j. Kline. Dell is we'll
and favorably known to nearly if not
quite all our readers, as is also the
bride, hence, anything we can say in the
line of compliment is not needed.
The friends and acquaintance of the
couple throughout the city made them
present of handsome set Of furni-
ture, consisting of center table, fold
ing chair, rocking chair, mirror, ETC., and
the members of the band, of which Mr..
Wilson is the leader, contributed fine
sofa to the collection. The fellow work
men Of the groom in J. w. McCarthy's
cigar mandatory, also gave him
handsome silver pickle castor. These
elegant presents the welded pair receive
as well for the expression they contain
of the esteem in which they are held
here, as for their intrinsic value, and
that they will prove themselves worthy
of that esteem we have no doubt. We
offer congratulations, and wish them
prosperous journey through life.
BY the notice in another column, it
will be seen that two more young people
have united for "weal or woe" and de-
cided to launch their bark on the sea of
matrimony. We refer to the nuptials
of Mr.. W. R. Fisher, of Morse station,
on the B., c. r. & N. R. R., and Miss
Artie S. Williams, of this city, which
took place at Morse, on Christmas day.
Will is an old Independence boy, form
erly an employee in this office, and it
does our heart good to be able to chroni-
Gle the good step he has taken. Miss
Williams, the bride, is also we'll known
to Independence people, among whom
there are many warm admirers of her
quiet, modest manners and womanly de-
pertinent. Will is in the employ of the
r. R. Co., at Morse, and doing we'll
