CATARRH..-Without assuming TO
write ous a, thesis Of this universal all.
ment, facts warrant our saying that 1t
seems to US there never wasa season when
it was so prevalent as the present.
The above is preliminary to the fol-
loving, viz: Thai Messrs Hood Il Co /,
of Lowell. believe that the best way to
treat Catarrh, and the only way to get
permanent relief, is through the blood.
A cons itutional di ease requires con-
stirutional remedy. Hoods Sarsaparilla
is blood purifier aud cons i'utional
medicine that can be relied upon; and has
cured numerous cases Of Cs'arrh in its
various forms. We think this claim a
reasonable one and gladly give i, room in
our columns.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition 10 carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how a watch case is made, or the vast diff.
ference in Inequality of them. InaSouD
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces.
sarythickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira.
BILE, because gold is 3 soft metal and canno.
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold ID
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Ratch Case ,.x " NAM
which saves the WASTE of need 3 q
less gold, and INCREASES the soLrDITY and
STRENGTH Of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

w Ambition ATKINSON, in compllans

EE Auditor ATKINSON, in compliance
with law, will add thousands of dollars
to the tax duplicate between this and
next Spring. Returns OF taxpayers in
all parts Of the county show very little
in the way Of credits, when 1t is shown
by the County Recorders books that
they have many thousands loaned on
mortgages. A very bad feature about
the matter is, the parties have, in nearly
every instance, sworn to. their returns.
Another class of. taxpayers ~ho make
tia point to he "absent" when The AS.
sessor is making his rounds should be
hunted down and compelled to make re-
Turn of their property aud credits for
taxation. A healthy stirring up will be
had and the people, who return their
property honestly and pay taxes on what
they hsve. are determined that it shall
be done.
