Teachers of Audrain and Adjacent
Counties, Attention.!

At the request of several of the promi-
nent teachers of this county, a Normal
Institute will be held in this city at the
public school building commencing August
7 and continuing two weeks n as much
longer as in the judgment of the teachers
would be practicable. In conducting the
institute the undersigned will be assisted
by Profs. H.. A. Gass, b. P. Gentry and
other well known teachers. The object
is to help on the cause of popular educa-
ton and not to make money, as every
dollar contributed after the few necessary
expenses are deducted will be devoted to
the public school library fund of this city.
Only the ordinary English branches and
vocal music will be taught. A course of
lectures by popular speakers will be among
the attractive features of the institute.
County Commissioner Hill will hold an
examination at the close of the session
and school officers desiring to engage
teachers would do well to communicate
their wishes to the institute. Let every
teacher in this county at least become q
member of the institute and thus show his
willingness to improve and do better work
in III school room.
Fee for membership: Gentlemen, 50;
ladies', 81. Board reasonable, Please

The discovery Of a great remedy is fire.
quently a matter of accident. This, how
ever, is not the case with Taraxine, now
widely known and approved as an almost
infallible remedy for Liver Complaint, and
diseases of the Kidneys and Bowels. The
best physicians have for many years used
various preparations of dandelion root in
these diseases, but with only Indifferent
success. After a long series of expert
ments, a combination, with the active
principle of the Dandelion as a basis, ant
other approved remedies to highten its
potency has been effected, and the desired
specific for these diseases has been fount
in the production-Taraxine.

Dear Winnie has passed over the river
and we trust she is now basklng in the
smiles of a loving Savior. o, We would
comfort you, dear sorrowing ones that
are left behind, if we could, but we know
by sad experience, that words are useless.
We can only point you to the Divine One
whom WINNIE chose years ago to be
her friend and comforter. Having been
| closely associated with this dear departed
one for several years as schoolmate we
know something of her gentle nature
| United with this spirit were Christian
graces rarely surpassed; this should give
| real comfort:
Those lovely brown eyes Winnie,
Have closed on earth forever.
Thou vert bound to us by ties Of love
That not cen death could sever.
Thy gentle ways were much admired
By those who knew thee well,
And twas with strangely saddened heart.
We said to thee farewell.
We know thou wilt be missed at home
by sister and by brother,
But who can soothe the aching heart.
OF husband, father, mother,
~rfs God who tOok thy darling one
Sale home to heaven to dwell.
