Salvation Oil is the greatest pain destroyer
of the age. 1t speedily annihilates pain,
whether from a cut, bruise, scald, burn, FROST
olte, or from q wound of any other kind.
In making an argument with u political op-
pOnent 1t is quite sufficient to point out any
supposed or real errors. without assuming
that because that opponent expresses opinions
! he arrogates ANYTHING to himself.
MI. Ed. Markham was hurt, last Wednes.
day. by q stone splinter. He was standing

Register:-''Thst's all very nice. we admit,
but there has always been fodder IN the rack
at which the Intelligencer stands" Yc.. Just
about enough to pay off with Monday nj .hts,
md for q good many years the present own
ers of the Register ate their share of thai
fodder with regularity and dispatch.
1t is quite wonderful what a boo,u the
election of Cleveland has given to many lines
OF business. Now, here are the hens, laying
such eggs as were never seen be fore. Mrs.
james Roberts sent US four, the other day,
THAT weighed IA ounces, and measured 6
inches In circumference the long way. We
feel satisfied that If Cleveland is reelected
these same hens will be enabled to lay eggs
measuring II inches around.
We saw a prominent farmer the other day
carrying water through Mr.. Henry Hainkel's
shop and store to watsi his team. A public
watering trough wor l have been q great
convenience to him, as it would be to every
farmer who comes to town. The lot wealth
er Is on US, when il is most needed, and as
the water will cost not ng to the city, we
hope the council Will 1T its meeting next
Monday night, provide Tor the hydrant and
trough.
Holden Enterprise: -. I'VE have been favor
ed with a catalogue OF y tssa College. 1t is
q pamphlet of forty p,ges and was printed
by the Odessa Democrat. !. is a good lob and
speaks well for our contemporaries job-of1ce
and the taste of the designing printer. There
10 one thing about it that is of more value to
US than the appearance of the job, and that
10, 1t was done at home. The paper that
gives the institution many dollars worth of
free advertising is given the work. Every
college in the state of Missouri should do the
same thing. Even if a few of them should
get an inferior job. the catalogues should all
bear the imprint of the home paper. 1t is
Justice"
