Genb'emen-YOur delegates to the national az
sOciajlon respectfully report: They attended the
annual meeting of the National Association he ID
in the city OF ST. Louis, held July -, 1882 and
that said meeting was characterized by a fun at
tendance and much earnest work One of the
chief obstacles in the way of the progress of the
National Association is and has been the de-
termined opposition of large number of Chi
cagn merchants aided by the travelling men in
their employ, said merchants having heen suhsl-
discd by the railroads, in cases by means of
annual passes for their entire travelling force,
and sucn Other special TavOrs as are not granted
the merchants of any other city of
the United States. In return for these
special favOrs, certain Wholesale merchants
of the city of Chicago, sent a communication to
the last general convention of the PASSENGER
agents of the United States, demonstrating
against the granting of the concessions asked by
the travelling men, ana expressing their fullest
satisfaction with existing passenger and baggage
rates, so far IA their interests were concerned.
In the face OF such difficulties the National Assoc
citation has made its fight. and the concessions
granted its membership by the Unien Pacific,
New Jersey Central, Canada Southern, and
thirteen other railroads Of less magnitude attest
the fact that sotne progress has been made, and

CONSUMPTION.

1t is said that $4,000 people die an
nually in the United States alone from
this disease. In some sections of the
country one death in every three il
from Consumption. This can be, and
should be avoided; our people arc too
careless about an ordinary cough or
cold. and other symptoms of throat
and lung affections that lead to this
disease. You should arrest it while
it is in the germ. Two or three doses
Of DR.. Dosanko's Cough and Lueg
Syrup will relieve an ordinary cough
or cold. II does not dry up cough
like many preparations on the market
and leave TIE disease behind it, but
acts directly on the throat and bron-
chial tubes, removing all the phlegm
and morbid matter that accum4ates
in the throat and lungs. Ii allays all
irritation, aud renders the voice clear

Editor EXrosIToR:-
Thinking that q few items from
this vicinity would be of interest to
your readers, I will give q little
sketch Of the country and people.
Hvorgreen township is about forty
miles northwest Of Brockway. The
soil is kind of gravelly loan. Near
ly all the land in this soctios Is taken
up by honest and hard working far
mers who arc making themselves
comfortable homes in which TO pass
ihoir golden years. The crops look
favorable for heavy harvest, the
wheat especially, which is looking
splendid. Land is growing worry
fast in value having raised from So
to SIS per acre within the last eigh-
teen months. There has been neat
portable saw mill erected on the
river this spring and it cuts from
10000 20 81, geo feet per day. 1'ho
mill being convenient to the river
the farmers can get their logs cut
into lumber and raft tho same down
the river to Oaes City at light OK
pense and got big price for it.
Robinson 81 Reynolds, tho proprie-
tors, intend to connect a shinglc
machine to tho mill this fall. We
also notice that two of your citizens,
III. S. Wait and hi. Turner have pur-
chased 100 acres Of land between
them in section 81, paying $500 per
aero, where they intend TO settle in
tho future. Come on gentlemen you
are welcome. Mr. Day has lately
built new store on the corner about
one-half mile west Of the mill and
has things in ruRning order. x. ].
Keywerth has built q new black
smith shop and gets lots Of work to
do. The people have made applica-
ton for new postoflioe. We expect
your townsman, Rev. S. G. Belts,
with his paraphernalio about tho 1st
of July to hold great camp meet
ing in the woods. BoANERGEs.

In the absence of telegraphic news,
there is the more ample room for PEN
Gil and scissors. We can at least
furnish our patrons a first class local
and eclectic paper for the present. and
if these features become a little
monotdnous, we can publish a few
chapters from the various
Epistles OF Paul, which would
doubtless be news to many of
our readers. Then there are other
resources. We have a splendid
library of Congressional Records,
furnished by Senators and Represents
tives in Congress during the last fif-
teen years. The most of these are in
their original wrappers and are good as
new-the Records, we mean-and
have never been read. They are
merely held in trust for the antiquar-
ian of the future. Macaulay's New

Offering for sale only the best goods to

until he found himself the sole pro-
