A favorite recreation these MOON

self that gentle spring has come.
the following conversation between q
couple of promenaders:
"Isn't it perfectly lovely?"
"Y-e-s," said he, with a shiver.
Then as a fresh gust of wind came,

"Isnt it an early spring? Ifit keeps
on this way picnics and festivals will
soon be ripe, won't they?"

LIVE LONG AND BE HAPPY.

Why should not everyone live out
their full allotted time, enjoy good
health and be happy? Surely there is
no GOOD reason, and yet many will al
low impure blood, weakness of the
kidney 8, imperfect digestion, and urin-
ary troubles to undermine aud break
down their general health, and carry
them to a premature grave. Some seek
relief among mineral poisons, in pill
form, etc, Others resort to extensively
advertised alcoholic beverages and fer
mented LIQUORS, only to feel themselves
for time somewhat better, but after
awhile much worse. Now, why should
this be so? It is well known by the
intelligent portion of our community
that Dr. Guysott's Yellow Dock and
Sarsaparilla will surely remove all
these disorders. The medicine is the
wonderful discovery of an eminent
French physician, and has proven it
self i'm thousands of instances to be the
best vegetable blood purifier known to
medical men. It never fails to effectu-
ally euIe Scrofula. Syphilitic disorders
weakness of the kidneys, all nervous
disorders and debility, and all urinary
and digestive troubles. 1t makes the
old feel full Of youthful vigOr, and the
young energetic and gay, restoring
perfect manhood and wOmanhOOd, es-
pecially when the disease has a ten
Gency to weaken the mind, body and
nervous system. Do not despair. A
single bottle will convince you of its
great merit as health renewer. for it
begins at once to give new life and
new vigor to both body and mind,
never failing to remove all symptoms
be cured by cleansing, renovating, pur-
flying and strengthening the human
system, driving out, as if by magic, the
many ills the flesh is heir to, and build
ing up new health, new vigor, and
new life. Large quart bottle, 81. 90.

The Greatest Remedy Known

The Greatest Remedy Known.
DIR. KINGS New Discovery for
Consumption is certainly the greatest
medical remedy ever placed within the
reach of suffering humanity. Thous-
ands of once hopeless sufferers, now
loudly proclaim their praise for this
wonderful Discovery to which they
owe their lives. Not only does it pos
itiUely cure Consumption, but Coughs,
Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Hay Fever
Hoarseness and all affections of the
Throat, Chest and Lungs yield at once
to its wonderful curative powers as if
by magic. We do not ask you to buy
large bottle until you know what you
are getting. We therefore earnestly
request you to call on your druggist,
E. P. Brainerd & Sons and get trial
bottle for ten cents, which will con-
vince the most skeptical of its won
derful merits, and show you what a
regular one dollar size bottle will do.

S. Z. BENJAMIN:
DEAR SIR have examined the specimens
of penmanship presented by your pupils and
have awarded the premium to II. s. Sturdevant.
have never seen specimens of writing where
the improvement was great in n short course
of six lessons, and where it was very iii fiicult
to decide between them. The specimens OF the
Misses Ford. Gretzinger. Rune and Scarf, are
very fine: while the improvement shown by
Messrs. Rouse. Ford. Boosinger, Wynn, Ken
ward. and many others. is truly wonderful.
When a few hours labor accomplishes the
suits shown in these specimens. it would seem
that many of our young people should avail
themselves of the opportunity to acquire this
beautiful and useful art.
