Our contemporary says this week "This
thing of people whipping little children near
ly to death for trihing ~offenses is becoming al.
together too frequent in this quiet burg, and
about the best way to punish the guilty par.
ties is to put heavy fines upon them and make
them work on the rock pile" If there have
been cases of inhumane whipping of children
we thoroughly agree with this conclusion,
and we desire to add, that there are some
other phases of the children question which
deserve and should receive attention. A
paragraph written before this, and which may
be found elsewhere, will convey our meaning
more fully. Unless something is done In the
matter we shall feel it to be our duty soon to
speak even more plainly.

Pale. Poor, Puny, and Pallid.

Considering all the ills that attack
little children, it is a wonder that any
of the poor little youngsters live to
grow up.
There are children who are truly
objects of pity. They seem almost
bloodless. Their checks are thin and
pinched; their eyes are hollow; and
their skin is tightly drawn over their
foreheads. There is nothing hearty
about them. They do not enjoy
their lives. They arc suffering from
the debility that leads to marasmus'
Poor thingsl
Do good deed for the pale, poor,
punv, pallid child. Hand its mother
a bottle Of Byoun's Iron Biffe,s.
Here is life even for the most deli
cate, the most debilitated; for the
child almost given upfor dead, Iron
in the blood is what the child needs
to bring it up. The little digestive
apparatus will recover. The pale
checks will fill out. The weary
eroan of the child will be exchange,e
Tor themerry prattle of infantile glad
ness. Your druggist will tell YOU
what wonders Bro5on'S IRON Bitter
has done for very sick children. IL

"IIaying been severely afflicted for about two years

or twenty times per night, and at times 1t wouldseem
impossible for me TO ride down to the depot on my

seem to take my life. Having failed to obtain relief
from my doctor, ! finally consulted our druggist, Dr.
Merrymsn, Of Brunswick, and requested him to fur
nish me with the most reliable and speedy cure for
such sickness, for | was suffering too much for

4 Nfnndamus for Mills.

Auditor Osborne, of Mills county was
in The city yesterday interviewing Judge
Loufbourow concerning a %mandamus, di-
recting the county board of supervisors
to levy "a tax to meet the $4,000 juds-
ment in the swamp land cases, which
have been carried to the United States
supreme court by the railways and de-
cided against the county. The county
supervisors did not feel positive about
their authority to levy the tax, and
hence a mandamus was issued. Mills
county is in pretty good trim financially,
there being only So, 200 of debt to wipe
out, and this Judgment, which will soon
be paid off, when the county will be out
of debt.
