The latest thing in politics is the
revival of the scheme to cut up the
State of Texas and make five States
blossom where only one now blooms.
Texas is certainly too large and I'M
wieldy for one sovereignty, but any
cludes the sending of eight more DEM
ocratic Senators to Washington will be
vigorously opposed by the watchful
State of Rhode Island.

Read and Reflect.

Think how you suffer day after day with
chills and feveEs; think of your misery,
and then think how quickly you can be
cured of chills and fevers by taking few
doses of CUBAN Tonic, the great WEST IN
DIES FEVER and AGUE REMEDY. This is
the best medicine in tho world for chills
and feyers; it cures every time, and never
fails; it cures when quininc and physi-
clans prescriptions fail. 1t will quickly
cure chills and fevers, and gives health.
Thousands have been cured of chiils and
fevers by using this medicine. Get a bot
tie from G. w. McFec, and try it. You
will bless the day you try it.
