other day, and she said: "I'm al
most afraid to be seen talking to you
lest somebody will think am coax

new, you know; l got it in Paris last
summer, and have not worn it in
Washington before, but yeu won't
say anything about it in your paper,
will you? Pm so averse to seeing
my name in print. There was hor-
rid lady reporter here while ago
and asked me some impertinent ques-
tons. / had to answer her politely,

A few minutes after | met the "hor-

me over in the corner and gave me a

Ayers SarsqpaM

Is the only remedy that can be reliedupon,
in all cases, to eradicate the faint of hered-
itary disease and the special corruptions
of the blood. 1t is the only Alternative
that is sufficiently powerful to thoroughly
cleanse the system of Scrofulous and
Mercurial impurities and the pollution
of Contagious Diseases. 1t also neu-
tralizes the poisons left by Diphtheria
and Scarlet Fever, and enables rapid
recuperation from the enfeeblement and
debility caused by these diseases.

Trust Nothing Else

than AYERS SARsAPARILLA. Numerous
crude mixtures are offered to the public
as 'blood purifiers" which only. allure
the patient with the pretense of many
cheap doses, and with which it is folly, to
experiment while disease is steadily be-
coming more deep-seated and difficult OF
cure. Some of these mixtures do much
lasting harm. Bear in mind that the only
medicine that can radically purify the
yitiated blood Is

The extraordinary popularity of
Ayers Cherry Pectoral is the natural
result of its use by intelligent people
for over forty years, 1t has indispu-
tably proven itself the very best
known specific for all colds, coughs
and pulmonary complaints.

RoBus7 Health

Is not always enjoyed by those who seem
to possess it. The faint of corrupted
blood may be secretly undermining the
constitution. In time, the poison will GER
tainly show its effects, and with all the more
virulence the longer it has been allowed
to permeate the system. Each pimple, sly,
boz, skin disorder and sense Of unnatural
lassitude, or languor, is one of Natures
warnings Of the consequences Of neglect.

Farmers are busy husking corn,
they are little late, yet the major
ity Of them took time to 90 to the
election.
Messrs. Eds. as l am sometimes a
little of, you will please excuse me
if my mind should happene to run
in different direction from the
topics of the day. l desire to speak
few words in regard to public
roads. Why not have good roads
in Monroe county as well as in adj
joining counties? The creek road
in Center township, from Wolf Pen
run via Leonard Jackson's to the
residence of George Norris, is a dis
grace to n civilized community
Perhaps the next excuse will be,
"We are not able to make so many
new roads," Yes, you are. Make
new roads while you are digging
paths along the creek banks, SO that
a horse may be led along.
Gov. Foreaker seems to he & little
down on the Irish Democrats-well,
we suppose on Democrats of all
kinds. Perhaps the Governor only
spoke his mind. Let us say few
words on the subject of mind-speak-
ing: 1t is a vice which has a thou
sand forms and gradations. The
man who speaks his mind generally
has a wretchedly poor mind to
speak. He is obsequious before SUI
periors, and tyranical to those be-
meath him. We have no right to
speak our mind so as to give pain
OF cause embarrassment. We are
as liable as the rest of mankind, and
after we have flung the poisoned
dart, may discover that it was aimed
at the wrong victim. To speak kind
ly of others, and to refer rather to
their excellencies than defects, are
tokens of refined and gentle ma
ture.
We forgot to say that we have
not noticed any tobacco merchants
on our creek yet. We have some
very fine crops of the weed. There
were about S,400 sticks of tobacco
raised ON the farm of Mr.. Stephen
Dougherty.
Mr.. William Early, an old citi-
zen, is quite i'll at present.

The election is over and the pco-
pie of the 18th Congressional Dis
trict will reap the reward of their
folly. The Prohibition vote here
was principally from the Democrat
ic party, and strange to say, they
voted Kelly, nearly to man. This
accounts for the way briggs was
scratched here. This demonstrates
two facts: namely, That there is no
consistency in. the party and that
they do not act from principle. I'd,
That the leaders of the movement
were directly controlled by the prof
it they derived from their candidate
for their support. / am surprised
that Democrats at this day and age,
can be so easily duped by the false
pretences of Republicans. Warner
was scratched by five Democrats in
Sunsberry, but received eight Repub-
lican votes, which put him three
votes ahead Of the ticket in this
township.
