In this changeable climate of ours
every one should remember that WIS
TANIs BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY has
proved itself to be q positive cure for
Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, and
all lung diseases. It has saved the
lives Of many even after all hope had
fled. Many of our most intelligent
families would as soon be without
woolen clothing in winter, as to not
have Wistar's Balsam always on hand,
for it never fails to immediately re-
lieve all soreness of throat and lungs.
A single dose taken at bed time will
gently warm the blood, cause refresh
ing siumber, and by morning an or
dinary cough or cold will be gone.
Ask your druggist and your friends
regarding the merits of Wistar's Bal
sam, and be wise in time. Price of

Correspondence, a

Correspondence.
A union revival among our churches
Is now the chief item of conversation
in our midst, and for the time all other
matters of public interest seems to be
lost in the general whirlpool of relie-
ious zeal. For three weeks one of the
three churches has been the scene of
large attendance twice each day. The
Rev. Edison Edmonds, of Kingsville
has occupied the pulpit the largest part
of the time during the last two weeks.
He is a very forciable speaker. and has
done much to inspire healthy senti-
ment in our midst. The meetings were
opened by Rev. Henry Delano, of
GAINESVILLE, who delivered three very
able discourses. We are informed that
he will again be among us this week.
For several days many ladies have
been circulating petitions in our midst,
asking our Legislature for local OPP
ton law, similar to that now in opera
ton in Pennsylvania. We have yet
to learn of a single individual who has
refused to sign the petition. This is
raising the temperance question in
somewhat different form than that
which has been presented generally to
the people of this State and at present
ought to provoke a general discussion
among the different journals of this
State, which would necessarily bring
out many new thoughts upon the sub
ject, and give the people chance to
express their views upon the subject to
our lawmakers at Columbus.
Last Friday night 'tBennetts & Bry-
ants famous Australian. Ministries"
were advertised to hold forth at Buck
eye Hall, but they failed to put in an
appearance. AT last reports they were
about returning, to Australia or Van
Dieman's Land, We hope it is true,
as all ministries ought to be booked for
the latter place, instead of going about
swindling civilized communities. 80.
Our friend, the Garrettsville Journal,
says the past two weeks have been
tough on local news. We hardly know
whether our friend refers to the fact
that there is much mud, and no one
dare to attempt to reach town, except
on a pressing necessity for physician,
or the further fact that our people are
unusually quiet. He has, forgotten
that there have been several tramps in
town during the last week begging for
bread. -.f,f. MEMO.
