1t is prepared from Sarsaparilla, Yellow
Dock, Cherry Bark, Pipsissewa, Mandrake,
Dandclon, and other well-known vegetable
remedies. The combination, proportion. and
preparation are peculiar to Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and effect the most remarkable cures where
other medicines fail. t-@s1-
1t cures Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Boils. Pimples,
Humors. Dyspepsia, Eilousness, Sick Headache.
Indigestion, General Debility, ;tarrh, Rheu.
natism, Kidney and Liver Complaints, dispels
that tired feeling, creates an appetite. and
builds up the whole system. The
"GooD NAME At HOME"
won by Hoods Sarsaparilla Is unequalled in the
history of medicines. Such is its popularity in
Lowell, Mass, where 1t is made, that whole
neighborhoods are taking 1t at the same time.
This success Is extending all over the country.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the only medicine OF
which can truly be said, 100 Doses One Dollar"
which is an unanswerable argument as to
strength and economy. Other preparations will
average to last not over week, while a bottle
of Hoods Sarsaparilla contains 100 doses and
will last month. Hence, for economy as well
as for health and strength, buy Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Send for {. book containing statements OF
many remarkable cures.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is sold by all druggists.

GONE HOME.

We regret to announce the death Of
Mrs. SARAH PoPE, wife Of RoBERr POPE,
which occurred on Friday morning the
l6' b inst.
Though Q sufferer from heart disease
for many years she VAS never known to
murmur or complain. She vas oil that
q true CHRISTIAN woman could be in the
duties OF wife. mother. neighbor, irierd.
She was one Of those pure natures free
from guile, and all through life preserv.
ed the serenity Of her nature and the pu-
rity of her character. she was con-
scientious, consistent member Of the N !.
e. Church and died in the faith Of which
she bad been q living ornament, The
esteem 10 which she was held was ,es,i.
ded by the large number who attended
her funeral on last Sunday. Her funeral
services were conducted by Rev. W. H.
SrAurFER, who seemed to feek kdeeply
every word he uttered.
Her remains we're inferred amid the
tears OF relatives aud friends, and the
profound sympathy OF all assembled
there. Her husband and four children
survive her. Her example will shine
aud be, On influence long after the clay
has mouldered to dust. Her friends and
neighbors oil will deplore her, but her
family so sadly tereft must drsin TO the
dregs the bitterest cup. We can only
offer our sympathy to the bereaved fam
lily. In this dark hour no word can be
spoken to break the pang Of grief; bu'
We can weep with those who weep when
the darkness OF an unspeakable calamity
wrings the very innermost heart With
grief they can 6nd no words to express
the agony in which there Is no solace
May the God Of all consolation bear up
the broken hearted family.

A POPULAR UNDERTAKER.

"Huckleberry Finn" Mark Twain's
hero, describes, in the Century, this in
cident: 'r't -'-
Towards the middle of the day the
undertaken came with his man, and they
set the coffin in the middle Of the room,
on a couple of chairs, and then set all our
chairs in rows, and borrowed more from
neighbors, till the hall, and the parlor,
and the dining. room was full. see the
coffin.lid was the way it was before, but
l dasn't 90 look under it with folks |
around.
Then the people begun to flock in, and
the beats and the girls took seats in the
front row at the head of the coffin, and
for half an hour the people filed around
slow in single rank; and it was all very
still and solemn, only the girls and the
beats holding handkerchiefs to their eyes
and keeping their heads bent and sobbing
little.
They had borrowed melodeon--a sick
one-and when everything was ready,
young woman set down and worked it;
and it was pretty skreeky and colicky,
and everybody joined in and sung. The
Reverend Hobson opened up, slow and
solemn, and begun to talk; and straight
of the most outrageous row busted out in
the cellar that body ever heard; it was
only one dog, but he made most power
full racket, and he kept it up right along;
the parson had to stand there and wait;
you couldn't hear yourself think. 1t was
right down awkward, and nobody didn't
seem to know what to do. But pretty
soon you see the long-legged undertaken
make sign to the preacher as much as
to say, Don't you worry-just depend
on me-" Then he stopped down and be.
gun to glide along the wall, just his
shoulders showing over the peoples
heads. So he glided along, and the pow
WOW and racket getting more and mor'
outrageous all the time; and at last
when he had gone around two sides
the room, he disappears down cellar
Then in about two seconds we heard
} whack, and the dog he finished up wit
the most amazing howl or two, and the
everything was dead still, and the pal
son begun his solumn talk where he lei
off. In minute or two here comes TIL
undertaker's back and shoulders glidin
along the wall again; and so he glide
and glideel around three sides OF tn
room, and. then rose up, and shaded HI
mouth with his hands, and stretched h
, neck out towards the preacher, over tt
, peoples heads. and says, in kind
coarse whisper, ''He had rat" The
he dropped down and giided along tt
wall to his place. You see it wa.' gre
satisfaction to tho people. because nj
urally they wanted to know. A lit
thing like that doesn't cost nothing, a
it's just the little things that ma ke'
man to be looked up to and liked. The
warn't no more popular man in to-
. than that undert aker was. ...

How TO KEEP A Town SMALL. Horace
Greeley said: 'If you want town to
thrive don't erect any more buildings
than you can conveniently occupy your
self. If you should have an empty build
ing and any one should want to rent IT.,
ask three times the value of it. Demand
Shylock prices for every foot Of ground
that God has given you the stewardship
over. Turn cold shoulder to every me-
chanic and business man who seeks to
make home with you. Look at every
newcomer with scowl. Run down
your workmen. Go abroad for your sup
plies. Fail to advertise in or support
your home paper. Wrap yourself with a
coat of impervious selfshness. There is
no better way to kill your town"
