Two new saloons have started up, but we

honest energetic business houses.
There were two surprise parties Monday,
Aug. 18th, one at Mr.. Fosters, it being Mrs.

Summer is Past.


We have just entered upon that most beau
tiful season of the year called Autumn. This
is the time when everybody should prepare
for winter. They should look to their stock
and see that all are in good healthy condition
SO as best to stand the cold winter blasts and
storms; next they should look to their own
health, see that their blood is pure, circula-
tion good so that they will not catch cold
whenever little cold wind chances to strike
them. All the best remedies known to
science for the speedy restoration of health
in man or beast can be procured at all times
at very low prices at Saur's Drug and Medi-
cine Depot, and if these remedies are used
before the system is entirely run down, a
man need not stop his work while taking the
medicine, but can work right along while at
the same time he is regaining his health and
vigor which is SO necessary for winter.

WHAT THE SHAKERs BELIEVE ABOUT DIsEAsEs.--
They have learned from many years experience, that
nine-tenths of all the diseases of mankind arise
from imperfect digestion of food; ior this reason
Shaker Extract Of Roots (Siegel's Syrup and It
operates like charm in all cnses of indigestion
1t is not what we eat that makes us strong, but
that which we digest. This is the doctrine OF the
Mount Lebanon Shakers People who are weak and
languid, tired and feeble often wonder The reason
is that the food eaten does not give strength because
1t is not digested. The Shaker Extract Of Roots
(Siegel's Syrup) will restore the digestion TO o
healthy condition and drive away the headache the
pains in the side and back the distress after eating
and makes the sleep afford rest

stipation resulting from dyspepsia, with the most
satisfactory results" Use Shaker Tar Capsules for
