Capital Business COLLEGE

Waits not for the middle of June to
graduate her students at public COM

with blessings when their course is
finished and duty calls them, and bids
them enter any honorable calling to
honor it with brave hearts, clear
minds and Industrious hands. Messrs.
Walker Cloud, of Junction City, III. G.
Ledbetter, of Round Top, and Miss
Jennie Babcock, of our city, have
graduated in the business course with
credit to themselves ard the college.
Their work has been done thoroughly
and their record with teachers and

lions for the future. The business in
terests of Austin will soon muster
them into service, perhaps.

Neither mental nor physical labor
can be accomplished satisfactorily un-
less the system is in order. When you
feel tired, languid, wearied without
exertion, the mind slow to act, and re-
quiring great mental effort, you can
rest assured that your Liver is not act
ing properly, and that nature requires
assistance to help throw off impuri-
ties. There is no remedy that will ac-
complish this so mildly, and yet effect
ualIy as PRICKLY ASH BITTERs. A
trial will satisfy you of its merits.

This action was taken by Mr.. Nickel
