Bridging the okoiaojo.

Highway Commissioner w. p. Ross
is doing a good work in bridging the
Okobojo. One bridge is being built
just north of the village, and is proba-
bly, the best natural crossing on the
creek, the first bench sloping gladually y
down to the creek bed, SO that no soft
road will be found, even in the wet
season. Another bridge will be made
lower down. With the finest of roads
to Blunt, the people of the western
and central portions of Potter and
Walworth counties will find the route
via Clifton much the shortest and
best, while the same will prove true
with the people of the eastern portions
of these counties visiting Pierre.

Gems of Thought.

Money and fame are two things that
men work hardest for, and after death
one is worth to them just about as much
as the other.
What unthaukfulness it is to forget
our consultations, and to look only upon
matter of grievance; to think so much
upon two or three crosses as to forget a
hundred Distinguishes. .
There are two little words in our Ian
guage which / always admire-IFy and
Trust. You know not what you can or
cannot effect until yon try; and if you
make your trials in the exercise of trust
in God, mountains of imaginary difficult
ties will vanish as we approach them,
and facilities will be afforded which we
never nticipated.-Samuel Smiles.
A religion which has endured every
possible trial, which has outlived every
vicissitude of human fortunes. and has
never failed to re assert its power un-
broken in the collapse of its old environ
ments, which has pursued consistent
and victorious course through the lapse
of eventful centuries, declares itself by
irresistible evidence TO be thing of
reality and power.-Robertson Smith.

AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which cause

stomach, bowels, and liver. AYERS CATHARTIc
PILLS act directly upon these organs, and are
especially designed to cure the diseases caused
by their arrangement, including Constipation,
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysen-
terry, and a host of other ailments, for all Of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and pleasant
remedy. The extensive use of these PILLS by
eminent physicians in regular practice, shows
Enthusiastically the estimation in which they are
held by the medical profession.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable sub
stances only and are absolutely free from calomel
or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
LAYERS PILLS are invaluable to me, and are
my constant companion. 1 have been severe
