TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERS will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively net injurious.

A SURPRISE.

Mrs. ]. II. Woolley was the victim of a
little conspiracy, last Friday afternoon,
which took her completely by surprise.
Detained by a visitor in one part of the
house and then summoned TO the parlor
by caller, she was astonished TO find it
filled with ladies, seated, with wraps laid
aside as if prepared to stay, who proved to
be her sister officers of the Missionary and
Aid society. An errand to the kitchen
shortly after; showed that they had made
provision for an elegant banquet, and as
neighbors or friends dropped in till the
house was full, this appeared to have been
wise forethought. Mr.. Woolley came
home to tea, and was just in time to be
present when Mrs. w. R. Santley, in be-
halt of the ladies associated with Mrs.
Woolley as officers of the society, present
ed her, as a slight momento oftheir appre-
citation of her services as their president
for the last two years, a handsome toilet
set, large cushion, and bottles covered
with blue satin, decorated with fine lace
and hand. painting. Mrs. Woolley did not
make any speech at that time, but Just be-
fore the company rose from the table after
refreshments, fittingly expressed her ap-
probation of the spirit which prompted
the happy occasion. At the annual meet
ing, three weeks ago, Mrs. Woolley was
reelected President. The rebuilding and
furnishing of the church in the last two
years have imposed heavy burdens upon
the society, and great deal of unrequited
labor has been done VIII ch cannot be eth
er fully appreciated or suitably rewarded
But an occasional hint of recognition of
faithful service does not come amiss mid
much that is disheartening in unpaid
labor that carries along all benevolent and
much of the other work for humanity and
the support of christian enterprises.

church last Sunday eve.
The two or three weeks past has been a
busy time for the ice harvesters. Dave
Fisher has had % 20 80 men at work, fill

grounds, and many private houses are fill

quality of ice is rather better than that of
former seasons.
Two business blocks on Penfield avenue
F. d. Browns Bakery building, and j.
S. Crawford's grocery store, fell victims to
the fire fiend, last Tuesday evening, al
quarter past 10 o'c'ock. The alarm was
given almost Immediately, but before any
thing could be done, the whole structure
was one mass of flames. Not man was
able to enter the bakery to fight the de-
stroying element. As soon as il was found
that the fire could not be brought under
control, all hands fell to saving iae goods
from Crawford's grocery store, and the
whole of a large stock of groceries was
carried to plsce of safety in an incredibly
short space of time. Mr.. c. has used the
upper story of the building and a wing ad-
joining as living apartments, and every
thing was saved from these, even TO doors,
blinds, and window sash. Several other
buildings caught fire several times, but
were saved by the almost super-human
efforts of citizens with buckets of water
and wet blankets. Although the origin
of the fire is unknown, it is supposed to
have started in Browns bake room from
Bell stove in which fire is usually kept
during the night. Brown is quite fully
insured, having about $500 on building,
and $500 on stock and tools. . Mr.. c. has
