This plan has many and peculiar
advantages. As soon as you are
known to be in the habit Of taking
Intoxicating liquors, no matter how
small the quantity. men will begin to
suspect you, and in short time cease
to trust you. and then if you have
not already accumulated property,
you cannot. So, you will have more
time, you can drink more, go down
faster and faster, and in a few years
die q pauper.

On last Sunday morning three Of
our young men, named respectively
Frank Solar, Willis Witter, Albert
Fontaine, took a boat and looked
about the river for Mr., Ferguson,
when on crossing the river their boat
was swaluped in the middle of the
stream. All of the boys could swim

they thought best to swim back to the
boat and try and save it, which they
did. A large crowd of people along
the shores believed the boys drowning
as the boat was invisible, and it Great

soon saddled pier and came out all

if we were nearly drowned. Of course
not.

Fl. FL. Compton, is not recovering
very fast from the effects of the blow
he received on his head at the Rablin
House fire. His son Chas. informs
us he is but little better. It is rumor-
ed that he is gaining physically, but
mentally is about the same, rather
deranged. 1t will prove a serious
matter for Mr.. Compton. We fear he
will never thoroughly recover. The
best physicians are being employed
and all that is possible is being done
for him,
In selecting Col. j. A. Watrous for

Hungerford's Journal comes to cur
table this week as full of interesting
matter as usual. He has considerable
about summer resorts near Ashland
and Bayfield, on the Central railroad.
We thought Bro. Hungerford was
going to leave this state but it would
seem he has changed his mind, and we

done the same; therefore | wish that
everybody may learn to value this
true medicine
