most able and intelligent men we have,
and beneath his quiet exterior he carries
as warm heart as can be found, and he
is ever ready to help a neighbor or do
any one kindness. He takes a lively
interest in public affairs. too, and while
not professional politician, he is thor
oughly posted as to the needs of his
people, and he will never let an opportu-
nifty go by where he can benefit the ma
terial or moral prosperity of the county.
He is the man for us, and we are going
to elect him by a rousing majority"
Here the conversation was interrupted,
but Mr.. Barker said that the candidates

years we sought medical aid in vain.

case with great deal OF anxiety, and,
while following strictly the treatment
and advice of leading physicians, ! saw
MY son from day to day grow worse.
His hearing became so badly affected
that he could not hear the ticking of u

May took him TO DIR. Prentice, 10 Dry
AIDES St, and from that day he began TO
improve, and continued to grow better
until he could hear tho same watch six
feet from his ear, or could hear it ticking
in his pocket. His general health has
improved and all bad symptoms have
passed away. His hearing is now SO
acute that he can distinguish the faintest
discord in music, in which he is now
progressing very finely. In short, DR..
Prentice cured my son of his Catarrh
