unsurpassed in anemia, general debility, in
digestion, want of appetite, lack of energy,
retention and non-retention of urine.
Female weakness of all kinds, impure
blood, malaria, chills and fevers, and, in fact,
all cases requiring an Iron Tonic, unhesita
tingly recommend it as the best
DR.. VIM. M. Hines, of Freedom, Carroll

SO years, says: 81 have no hesitation in re-
commencing to the profession and intelligent
public Schroeder's Iron Tonic"
DR.. E. f. Shorb, of Littlestown, Adams

years, and says: II have been selling con-
siderable quantity of your Iron Tonic and

gained good reputation as tonic, and its
sales are increasing daily. have also used
it in my practice in nervous debility, weak

DRY GOODS.

Our preparations for the spring and summer
of 1885 surpass all previous efforts for the
accommodation of our very large trade. just
received from New York and Philadelphia
manufacturers and headquarters piles of New
Goods at New Prices. Having bought our
goods in large lots for cash. we will sell them
in many instances lower than the same goods
can be bought elsewhere. There being a
break in prices of Dress Goods, we can sell
these goods from to 10 cents per yard lower
than the same goods could be bought month
ago. We mean to do business; we shall always
have what the people want at the peoples
prices Big prices will not do in these hard
times, for no one can afford to waste their
money. 1t shall be our aim to give you every
dollars worth every time, for if there is virtue
in good goods at low prices we mean to be
masters of the situation-the live pioneers
who dive down to rock bottom. 1t will be
impossible for US to give you quotations, but
when you visit our store we will give you
prices that are stern and stubborn facts, that
will level your head on genuine bargains.

Barn Burned.

The barn of Mrs. Rebecca Haines-
situated on the north bank of IIaines'
mi dam half mile East of Rising
Sun, WAS discovered to be on fire
about $50 o'clock Wednesday night,
which was entirely consumed with n
large quantity of hay and straw. two
carriages, two wagons and all the
farming implements and machinery
belonging to the farmer, John A.
Kean. The barn only. was insured
for $1,000, not one-hall the actual loss,
and no insurance whatever on the con-
tents which consisted of, a reaper and
mower, wheat drill, corn shelter, horse
fork and tackle, grain fan, and a mum
Der of other farm implements, being
mostly new. The loss will fall heav-
lily on Mr.. Kean, which cannot be re-
placed under $500.
The barn was large double deck
er and was huilt in 1915 by Edwin
Haines who then owned the property.
The origin of the fire Is hot known.
None of the family had been about
the barn during the day or evening,
as the cows were all MIXED outside
and fortunately the horses were also
out in pasture.
