1t is worth remembering that nobody
enjoys the incest surroundings if in
bad health. There are miserable people
about to-day with one foot in the
grave, when bottle of Parker's Ginger
Tonic would do them more good than
all the doctors and medicines they have
ever tried. See adyt. 2lm1

Does farming pay? VIM. I. Jackson
of the town of Mineral Point, boasts
of having cleared 5000 off of ninety
six acres of ground the past year. This
would be equal to an income of eight
per cent on $4,000. Mr.. Jackson's
farm is one mile north of the city of
Mineral Point. We have some misgiv-
ing about aiding in giving publicity to
such facts as the above, for fear every
one not farmer already will be
tempted to become tiller of the soil.
