One Great Deed is Enough.
 Watts invented the steam engine; Morse the electric telegraph Whitney the cotton gin, and Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. r., discovered and prepared the Favor ite Remedy" which is worth more than all of them, because it saves life and cures disease. 1t purifes the blood, drives bile from the sys- tenn, cures those dehcate diseases peculiar to women, and is, in short, sheet-anchor in every household. No other medicine equals 1t or can take it's place. Don't spend your money in paying doctors when for One Dollar . bottle you can have the "Favorite Remedy" always on your shelf.

Tho Reason why

all manufacturers of threshing ma
chinery are so anxious to make aSepara-
tor of the vibrator class, is because
it has been proved beyond question
that the principles upon which the ''Vi-
orator is built, the only correct ones.
It may not be generally known, but it
is fact, that the word "Vibrator" is
not to be found in the dictionary, but
was coined and copyrighted by Mich
OILS, Shepard & Co., of Battle Greek,
Mich, for their threshing machinery.
The success of this firm is almost phe-
nomenal, and yet it but illustrates the
fact that true merit will always sue.
coed. By discovering and applying the
true principle of construction, and u.s.
ing only the very best materials in
manufacturing, this firm has risen to
the first position in their line, and the
"Vibrator'' Separators and Engines
are now used all over the world. Any
one intending to buy any threshing
machinery does himself great injustice
if he does not first obtain full informa-
ton from them and carefully examine
the merits of their goods.

a previous meeting providing for is.
suing bonds to the amount of So, 900
for the purpose of building an addi-
ton to the school house was very
largely attended. Objections to is
suing the bonds was raised by those
living on the north of the railroad,
not because they thought the pre-
sent school facilities ample, but be-
cause they believed the building of
a separate school house on the north
side of the track more advisable, as
the children living in that part of
the town experienced considerable
trouble and danger from the con-
stantly moving trains in attending
school on the south side. After a
spirited discussion, however, in
which our most prominent men took
part, the proceedings of the former

to 80. The bonds will now be is
sued and the needed improvements
made without any further delay.

On my arrival home the contrast is marked and
pleasant. Every familiar face greets me with a
kindly smile, every bush and tree invites me to cit
in its refreshing shadow, ripping streams whisper
for me to battle my fervid brow or to quench my
burning thirst.

ments, and in referance to our custom
laws a policy should be pursued which
will bring revenue to the treasury and
will enable the labor and capital EN-.
ployed in our great industries to com.
pete fairly in our own markets with
the labor and capital of foreign pro-
duce. We legislate for the people of
the United States, not for the whole
world, and it is our glory that the
American laboror is more free, intelli-
gent and better paid than his foreign
competitor. Our country cannot be
independent unless its people, with
their abundant natural reso urces, pos
sess the requisite skill at any time to
clothe, arm and equip themselves for
war, and in time of peace to produce
all the necessary implements of labor.
It was the manifest intention of the
founders of the government to provide
for the common defense, not by stand
ing armies alone, but by raising among
the people greater army of artisans,
whose intelligence and skill should pow
erfully contribute to the safety of the
nation. Fortunately for the interests
of commerce there is no longer any
formidable opposition to appropria-
lions for the improvement of our har.
bors and great navigable rivers, pro-
vided that the expenditures for that
purpose are strictly limited to works
Of national Importance. The Alissls-
sippi river, with it's great tributaries,
is Of such vital importance to so many
millions of people, that the safety of
it's navigation requires exceptional
consideration, in order to the nation
the control of its waters. President
Jefferson negotiated the purchase of a
vast territory extending to the Gulf of
Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. The wis.
dom of Congress should be invoked to
devise some plan by which that great
river shall cease to be a terror to those
who dwell upon it's banks and by which
its shipping may safely carry industri-
al products of25,000, 900 of people.
The interests of agriculture, which
is the basis of all our material prosper
ity and in which seven-twelfths of our
population are engaged, as we'll as the
interests of manufactures and COM
