1.-THE Great Boom"

Eighteen hundred and seventy-nine will long be
remembered as the time when all kinds of busi-
ness and financial prosperity seemed to spring
into new life. Merchants are finding plenty OF
ready customers for their wares, mechanics meet
with ready employment at fair wages, and the
farmers are receiving advanced prices for their
products, and IL is acknowledged by all that in no
part of our country are the evidences Of prosper
ity and comfort so marked as along the entire
line OF the 'Old Reliable" Hannibal q st Joseph
Railroad. And to attain these. results the man.
agement of the Hannibal & st Joseph Railroad
have given their careful thought and attention,
and the rapid growth of business, and increasing
wealth OF the community along the whole line are
evidences that their efforts are fully appreciated.
We are, as usual, running In connection with the
Chicago, Burlington &iQuincy Railroad through
Day Coaches, Reclining Chairs (free.) and Pull

It seems strange that any one will
suffer from the many constitutional de-
rangements brought on by an impure
state of the blood, when GUYsoTT's
YELLOW DOCK AND SA%RsAPARILLA will
restore perfect health and physical or
g%anization. It Is indeed a strengthen
ing cordial, pleasant to take, and has
proven itself to be the best blood puri-
fer ever discovered, effectually curing
Scrofula, Syphilitic disorders, Weakness
of the Kidneys, all Nervous disorders
and Debility. II corrects Indigestion.
It makes the old feel young, and the
young feel gay, and will invariably
drive out of the system the many ills
that human flesh and blood is heir to.
Price of the large quart bottle with full

prove to you its merits as a health re-

Birthday SURPRISES.

Thursday the 18th inst, was a day of
unusual interest at the residence OF Mr..
Joseph Copp. AT about 10 a. m. a party
consisting of men, women and children,
.aggregating about twenty-five, met at the
toll gate, about a mile from said place,
and headed by Rev. H. M. Herman, re-
paired through the 'long lane" to the
house. Mrs. Copp was in the real part
of the house, and consequently was not
cognizant Of what was about to transpire,
but she soon realized the situation by
being informed that the day was tn 50th
anniversary of her birthday, it being Sc
cretly planned by the children. and her
friends to make the surprise. After some
congratulations from the guests, consid-
cradle confusion and anxiety on the part
of Mrs. G. the ladies proceeded to extri-
cate the contents of a large number of
well filled baskets, the gentlemen after
putting their horses in the spacious barn
repaired to the parlor and sitting room.
The ladies then took possession of the
dining room, making it hideous with the
noise of the Gathering Of dishes, and the
scene soon bore a different aspect. The
ladies soon had a good display of edibles
dQTOltly ldI1ueu OH the GdDle, CONSISTING
of turkey, chicken, vegetables, fruits,
fancy cakes, etc. etc., all of which was
duly appreciated by the company, except
some Of the gentlemen, especially the
one at the head of the table, who didn't
relish fruit seasoned with salt, however,
it was only a slight mistake Of the esti-
mable ladies'.
After dinner the ladies repaired to the
spacious parlor and the gentlemen to the
sitting rooms, for the purpose of having
a social talk. There were valuable gifts
presented by the friends and relatives
which were highly appreciated by Mrs.
c., after which a portion Of scripture
was read by the minister present. An
appropriate address and prayer was de-
livered by Rev. H. NJ. Herman, at the
conclusion of which the party was about
to return to their respective homes, when
Rev. H. informed them that he thought
that this anniversary had come to close,
but he had just been requested by the
children to present Mrs. Z. with a pair
of Gold S~pectacles, which he did in a
very appropriate manner, after which
the company, with many congratulations
returned to their homes, and the home
stead resumed usual quietude.
