The sale of Syrup of Figs is
simply immense. Everyone is tax
ing it, and admit that it is the best
medicine ever used. Children cry
for it on account Of its pleasant
taste, and grown people who have
used it once never take anything
else. Unlike other remedies for
biliousness and constipation it
never loses its power to act, and it
always leaves the organs on which
it acts stronger than before. Besides
one feels fresh and bright and
realizes that it is Natures own true
laxative. Geo. j. Lewis is agent
for Kctchum.

the very grateful intelligence that
their son had carried off the hon
ors Of his school-Hammond Hall

afforded the members of the COM

Most heavy are the sorrows which
are being laid upon Secretary Bay
ard. The pride of his home a few
nights since, draped in glittering
robes and with the sheen of The
evenings triumphs in her eyes babe
The family good night on retiring,
and when the dawn came she was
still and cold and the sparkle Of
her eyes had changed to the stony
stare Of death. Now the woman
whom he in his youth chose from
all the world to walk By his side
the woman that has been his other
self during all the years through
which fame and position have been
crowding upon him, the mother Of
his children and the presiding gen
Jus of Lis home, has turned her
face to the wall. How empty must
this worlds honOrs seem to the
stricken man They are like dead
sea apples to his lips. Surely he
needs the sympathy of his country
men as much rs does the humblest
mourner who ever stood desolate
amid the wreck of his hopes, and
covering in the desolation that
death has made in his home.-Salt
Lake Tribune.

Engineers from the International Rail
road were at the Somerset Hotel last
week. They are looking for a route from
Lake Megantic through by the chain of
Ponds, and through the valley of Dead
River to connect with the Maine Central,
either via Kingfcld and the Franklin and
Megantic railroad to Pennington, or via.
North Arson and the Somerset Railroad
to Oakland. The proper thing for the
Somerset railroad to do is to be ON the
alert to secure this linc-as it can with
due diligence in Il spirit of liberaltv and
concession; as it might have secured the
line via New Portland to kingileld but
for its obstructive tactics in the guise of
friendship to the people of those towns.
