The railroad petitions have been cir
culated briskly this week, notwith.
standing the extremely cold weather,
and the canvasserS are meeting with
excellent success. The reports as we
go to press are that the town is favor
able to the proposition by vote of
two thirds of the voters competent to
vote upon the question, it being re-
quired that those whose names can be
counted on the proposition shall be
residents of the town who have been
assessed for real or personal property
in 1884 The number of persons resi-
dent in the town who have been thus
assessed is about five hundred. The
canvassers report about three hundred
and fifty names subscribed to the va
rious copies of the petitions in circu-
lation. Such practical unanimity is
gratifying to those under whose aus
pieces the matter has been undertaken.
as it shows that the large majority of
the persons who have carefully exam
ined into the question concur in its
advisability.

Something for the Baby.

What terrible affection about the
house is a cross, crying baby! A
young man on the very edge of matri-
mony might easily be frightened from
his purpose by having too much OF
that sort of music at the homes of his
married friends. Yet babies cry
commonly only when they are sick.
One teaspoonful of Parker tonic Civ
en- the little one, will bring rest and
sleep to the baby and all the house.
Only so cents, at druggists.

Meanest Sneak in Town.

Malarial gases sneaked up through
the poorly constructed drains and
made baby very sick with malarial
fever. Baby would have eied but for
timely use of Browns Iron Bitters.
There is nothing meaner in its way of
coming, nor worse in its effects, than
this malaria from the underground re-
gions. Mrs. Mcdonald, of New Ha'
ven, Conn, says: "For six years
suffered from the effects of malaria,
but Browns Iron Bitters cured me
entirely" Try it when malaria steals
in and undermines your constitution.
It will give relief.

Wars dread alarms, carry terror to
the hearts of peace loving citizens,
but it is safe to say that the number
of lives annually sacrificed to liver
complaint, in its various forms,
greatly exceed those of the most de-
structive battles. Geo. L. Martinez,
of Nicaragua, writes: During my
last visit to New York was presented
with half dozen bottles of Mishler' S
Herb Bitters, and l cheerfully testify
that less than two bottles cured me of
liver complaint of five years standing.
