Knowing and Gossiping.

A few things We know, but in our
weakness, idleness, &C., we imagine
great many things. Our neighbors
all become corrupt. Other folks lose
all their capacity for business. We
use big rs and very small us.
(Jones is going to fail in business
shore). Now some real good people
unknowingly get at such foolishnsss.
The causes seem to be imperfect na>
ture, idleness, evil contsminations and
communications. We would bs aur>
prised at ourselves sometimes, but
that long.ago.record about that great
tower, "Babel" reminds us that the
world has always revolved, trembled
and moved. We can't all see ours
selves. Try one week without bad
word for your neighbor and report
result. But in the meantime buy
your goods Of Tom HARRISON.

jackson Tribune d Sun: Capt.
Thomas Clark, who lives about one
mile northwest of Jackson, saw a
large black bear in his yard last MoI
day night, several times. 1t was
light enough to see the bear distinctly,
and he seemed to be making himself
at home about the premises. Capt.
Clark had no gun or dog, and he
thought it best to let the bear have
his own way, and take his own time
for leaving. After prowling .about
the yard and garden for a good part
of the night, bruin left for the Forked
Deer bottom. Captain Clark saw
his tracks about the place next morn
ing, and tried to get pack of hounds
to hunt him up, but failed. The
bear is supposed to be one that has
escaped from some show, possibly
from the band of wandering Turks
that were exhibiting six bears through
this country some weeks ago,

"FOOd Frauds /" Explained.

The article entitled Food Frauds F" circu-
lating through the newspapers and intended
to appear as the views of the press is an adj
vertisement of the Royal Baking Powder
Co. Its object is to divert the attention of
the public from the recent exposure in the
publication OF the certificates of some OF the
leading chemists in the country showing
the presence in the Royal Baking Powder OF
ammonia, drug of disgusting origin and
unfit for use in food. Cleveland's Baking
Powder is made only Of strictly pure grape
cream of tartar, bicarbonate OF soda, and a
little flour to preserve the strength of the
mixture, and IL does not contain ammonia,
lime, alum, or any aduteration whatever.
Were there anything used in its manufac-
ture in the slightest degree Objectionable,
it would be an easy matter TO obtain the
bona hde certificates of chemists to that
effect, and the Royal Company would be
only too glad to publish them over the chem
lists signatures, and not be obliged to resort
to this anonymous and contemplate attack
upon goods known by themselves to be per-
fectly pure. The thousands of families
throughout the country that have used
Cleveland's Baking Powder during the past
fifteen years with such satisfactory results
and perfect assurance of its purity and
wholesomeness will not only not be deceived
by attempted imposition, but will be glad
to know the source OF this attack and the
cause of it, Cleveland Brothers, Albany
