When this was read to the crowd as
sembled on the square, there was wild
burst of shouts and a general stampede
for all the loose goods boxes, barrels,
hogsheads, etc., to be found around
town, and in a few minutes two big
bonfres were ablaze on the square,
quantity of fireworks were let off, the
cannon was resurrected and fired a
number of times, and the boys had a
good time generally for couple of
hours. A goodly number of ladies
made their appearance upon the square,
and now and then stray Republican

uneasily through the crowd.

We call the attention of our readers
to the Enterprise Meat Choppers ad.
vertised in our present issue. The de-
mand for these Choppers has attained
such immense proportions that the
manufacturers have been compelled to
largely increase their facilities for maxi
ing them, and we are assured that they
are now being turned out at the rate of
2, 500 per week, $50 hands being
steadily employed on them.
There can be no boubt as to the ex.
cellence OF these Choppers, as they
have been tested by the editors Of near.
ly 100 agricultural papers, who have
given them a hearty endorsement.
cordially recommend them oall our
subscribers as by far the best machine
of the kind ever introduced to public
favor.

CLUBS.

The very small margin of profit on
the STANDARD at one dollar per an.
mum will compel us to adopt strict
ly cash in advance system for the new
year. We ask our friends everywhere
to go to work at once and raise clubs
for us, For every club of five subscri>
bers, with the cash in advance, we
will send an extra copy one year free.
This will pay the raisers of the clubs a
very handsome commission, and there
is not neighborhood IN Warren or
adjoining counties where one or more
clubs cannot be raised. If you are
already subscriber and your own
subscription is paid up, go to work and
get us six more subscribers, send us
$500, and retain the other dollar for
your work. We have a number of
subscribers in Texas who can raise
clubs there for us, with little work.

On last Tuesday our telephone Office
was changed from the room over Me-

Jennings drug store, and a line run to
the depot and a telephone Office estab-
lished there, ALI day Wednesday and
Thursday as the election news was re.
ceiceived at the depot, it was tele-
phoned up town, and consequently
there was a considerable crowd at
Jennings pretty much all of both
days, that being headquarters for
news. The new telephone box placed
in the drug store is much better in
strument than the old one, and the line
to the depot will be source of much
convenience.

An Easy Cure for HIccOugh.

HiccOugh is cOnvulsive contraction OF
the diaphragm. 1t is only necessary to al
low an exceedingly long and at the end
forcible expiration to follow a long quiet in
spiration. The slow inspiration, especially
when it is chiefly performed by the wall OF
the chest, prevents the phrenic nerve from
being too powerfully irritated, while the
long expiration gives this nerve time to re-
cover from its over-irritation. A remedy
which the writer has tested many times
without failure can always be used upon

How to Boil Water.
New York Times,


l must tell you the old story of how the
late Charles Delmonico used to talk about
the new hot-water cure He said the Del
monicOs were the first to recommend it to
guests who complained of having no appe-
tite. "Take cup of hot water and lemon
and you will feel better" was the formula
adopted; and the cup of hot water and
lemon was simply little hot water with
a drop of lemon juice in it to take away
the insipidity. For this antibilious remedy
the caterers charged the price of their best
liquors-twenty-fv cents or mOre-and it
certainly was a wiser way to spend small
change than in alcohol. "Few people know
how to cook water" Charles used to
affirm. "The secret is in putting good,
fresh water into a neat kettle, already quite
warm, and setting the water to boiling
quickly, and then taking it right off for
use in tea, coffee, or other drinks, before it
is spoiled. To let it steam and simmer and
evaporate until the good water is in the
atmosphere, and the lime, and iron, and
dregs only left in the kettle-bah that is
what makes great many people sick, and
is worse than no water at ALL" Every lady
who reads this valuable recipe should never
forget how to cook water.
