much for him, and it threw him instead,
and injured him badly.
L.'W. Kicker, who had his head cut
in recent accident OH G.. II. & l. Ry, is
around all right, but complains of the
cut botl,ering him good deal.
j. A. Haak's mill has been shut down
for a week past. He has given his
boiler thorough overhauling and had
it cut off inches.
S. l.. Bachant expects to go to De-
troit, next week, to buy general stock
of boots and shoes. Will also, buy more
groceries and dry goods. He is bound
to make his store at this point the very
best in this county, and try and keep
in stock almost any thing any one may
need. All should look over his stock
and you will be convinced that he will

Mullin & Mckinley will start their
mill, next week, and will rush business

Lee McGinlcy Is getting lumber on
hand preparatory to building a hotel
and boarding house. He has bought
two lots from G. w. Joiner d Son, on

building as soon as weather will per-

Joiner & Son have now a large stock

A Sad Sight to Behold"

Some four v eelis since man, or rath-
er a walking skeleton came into CRIT
TENToN's Patent Medicine Depot, No.
Sixth avenue, New York, completely
exhausted, just riding from Fourteenth
street, near Ninth avenue. He took
chair, and after regaining sufficient
strength, informed Mr.. &. that he had
beeh given up by his physicians to die,
from wat they termed to be II severe
case of Consumption-one lung being
entirely gone, and the other more or
less affected. He says, "NIr Crittenton,
will your article, which l have seen adj
vertised (mcaning HALE's HONEY OF
HOREHoUND AND TAR), cure, or give
me relief" / gravely informed him
that it was very bad case, and one
which l was afraid had run too long;
but advised him to try one bottle, as it
certainly could do him no harm, and
see the effect; explaining, at the same
time, that HONEY OF HoREIToUND
soothed and scattered oil Limitations and
inflammations, and the TAR Balm
;cleansed and cleared the throat and air
passages leading to the lungs, and that
the additional ingredients Kept the or
gans cool, moist and in healthy action.
He took my advice, bought u bottle and
came into the store, with light step
and smiling countenance; stated that
he used the first bottle, found so IN uch
relief that he felt encouraged, and ut
different times since he sent for seven
more bottles, which he had used, and
believed himself permanently cured;
said he should recommend 1t to all of
his friends and acquaintahces, which,
as he said, were many, as he was man
of wealth and influence. The price Of
Hdle's Honey Of H0rehO,md and Tar Is
only fifty cents bottle. Thus you will
see this gentleman was cured for $4,
after paying hundreds of dollars to
physicians. Sold at all drug stores at
30 cents and 81. Large size much the
cheapest to buy. Depot, CYittenton's,
