disease.-They have learned from
many years experience, that nine-tenths
of all the diseases of mankind arise from
imperfect digestion of food; for this rea-
son they have spent years of labor in pre-
pairing the Shaker Extract Of roots (Sie-
gels Syrup and it operates like a charm
in all cases 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 it is not digested. The Shaker
Extract of Roots (Siegers Syrup will re-
store the digestion to healthy condition
and drive away the headache, the pains
in the side and back, the distress after
eating and make the sleep afford rest.

Just at this time of year, there is gen.
orally relaxation in business affairs. 1t
is little too early for spring trade, and
little too late for winter trade. This
however does not affect the Grocery and
Provision business like some other
branches of trade The only thing out of
the ordinary course of affairs at this time
of year is that with the increased eXpen-
ses of living through severe winter,
men must economize, and live carefully.
In order to do this, great care should be
taken to purchase only the best goods,
where you can get them at the most rea-
sonable rates. That being the case, you
want to buy your Groceries and Provis-
ions at the great store of the veteran
merchant, D. D. DUNCAN, on Main Street,
next door to First National Bank.

When the workmen from Ashland first
came here to talk Nail Mill, many persons
seemed to be of the opinion that the
scheme was a wild impracticable one,
which would never be carried out. But
the prospect begins to look more like busi-
ness. Mr.. T. M. Jones, who has taken an
active interest in the matter, has been at
work getting options on land, to be sold
out in lots, for the purpose of raising the
necessary funds. A part of the grounds
of D. D. DUNCAN, Owen Davis, the Jo
Humphfres farm,) and J. Fl. Bum. have
been optioned. Mr.. Jones has been to
Ashland and had an interview with the
men. The terms upon which they propose
to come here have already been given in
this paper They use the same argument
against Jackson, however, that Jackson
does against them-that Of not wanting to
invest money with entire strangers.
They evinced an interest to have MIR.
Jones hold the balance of power between
themselves and the Jackson stockholders.
1t seems to be the desire of all that there
shall be good, practical business men in
charge of the affair, that the enterprise
may be success from the start. Mr..
Jones has secured the services OF sur
veyor, and the lots will be staked off at
once. One of the lots we believe, has
large brick house upon it, the Owen
Davis resldence) and after the lets shall
have been sold, the choice of this one will
be decided by chance. Altogether, it
looks as though the Nail Mill can be easily
planted here, if our citizens so desire.
At the first meeting at the Court House,
a committee of nine, was appointed to
work the matter up, on this committee
being some of our best business men.
Messrs. T. NJ Jones, r. Fl. Jones and e. w.
Brown, have. we understand been the
special committee in securing options.

MRS. NANCY REAS0NER GONE !
ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN OF JACKSON
COUNTY DIES In KANSAS

All the older citizens of this cOmmu-
nifty will remember DR.. J, S. Reasoner
and family who moved here from Liberty
Township, and resided here for number
of years. The family all went west from
here, all of them but one, we believe, To-
eating in Kansas. Here the DR.. died last
winter and their son Milton died last
November. On Monday we received
from T. B. Dickson, a son-in-law of de-
ceased, Kansas paper containing the
following notice of the death of Mrs.
Reasoner:
"Died, at Reserve, Brown County. Kan
sas, on February 23d, 1886, Mrs. Nancy
Reasoner, relict of the late DR.. Reasoner,
in the SD year of her age.
Mrs. Reasoner was the mother of the
Mr.. Jacob Reasoner, of Reserve, and Mrs.
T. B. Dickson, of this city. She left
Judge Dickason's and went to make her
home with her son at Reserve last July.
| The infrmities of old age were heavily
burthened by the death of her husband in
December of the previous winter, and the
| death of her son, Milton ReaSoner, last
November, put crushing sorrow upon
her. She was troubled with disease OF
the heart and was unable to lie down du-
ring the last three months, and had to
| take her rest and sleep sitting up in a
chair. She was buried at Hamlin, Thurs,
day, Rev. j. f. Wells, of this city, per
| forming the ministerial duties"
Mrs. Reasoner was the mother of Mrs
Hezekiah Brill, of Liberty Township
this County, and grandmother of Mrs
Robert Swan, of the Telephone Exchange
| in this place.

Jimmy Kimberling has been east for
some days, laying in a stock of Spring

they open out their stock. There are

and KimberlIngs will be apt to keep up
fully with the times.

Nehemiah had gone to Jerusalem to
assist the people in their efforts to rebuild
the city, and had met with many dis
couragements. A persistent attempt to
intimidate him and frighten him from
his duty was made by Sanballat and 9TH
ers, as they pretended to think he was
about to set up new kingdom and rebel
against existing powers. Various at
tempts were made to entrap him and get
him outside, but he kept on with his
work, turning aside all the appeals and
schemes of hatred.
The captives who returned from Baby
Ion were forty-twO thousand, three hun
dred and sixty, with seven thousand
three hundred and seven serving people
Ezra stood upon a raised platform in the
street, that all the people might hear him,
where he opened the Book and read the
Law. Then Ezra blessed the Lord the
Great God, and all the people shouted
"Amen." They stood with the palms of
the hands turned upward, as indicating
their submission to and earnestness for
the King of Kings. The day was made a
time of general thanksgiving and doing
good. The work of Nehemiah is fine
illustration of Christian duty. Seeing
the distress of his own people, and their
danger, he left his own position and
rourneyed afar, for the purpose of building
up again the fallen fortunes of his people
Thoroughly unselfsh. trusting in the
Lord, he had that self-confidence which
made him a safe, successful, glorious
worker. His was as much a missionary
spirit as spirit of loyalty to the unfortu-
nate people he befriended. Let the exam
pie of Nehemiah be emulated by every
Sabbath school scholar. An earnest desire
and purpose to assist our fellows, to build
them up. to point them to the earnest
worship of the true God, is sweet privi-
lege vouchsafed to all. Let us all strive
to improve it.
