CENTRAL HOTEL.

This convenient house, under it's
present management, is becoming one
of the most popular places on the road
and is furnishing the best of everything
the ma.ket affords at one dollar per
day. To see the smile of the stewart
Perkins, alone is worth the money.

AT the beginning Of the present century only
the rich could afford to have furniture other
than few rough chairs, a table and rough
hewn bedsiead or two; llIt American ingenuity
skill, and machinery have reyolutioniled the
furniture trade SO that now handsome ar
ticlcs in this line are so cheap that scarcely
any family is too poot to have a supply.
Especially Is this the case IN this goo9ly land,
flowing with mush and milk, and grain to
spare. The furniture stpre IS now a necessity
in every town and city. Rosehurg can claim
Sieve one that is credit TO any city aad what
you cannot find init you need not look
for elsewhere. He can supply you with any
thing in the way bf furniture sor re-
pair anything in that line. His shop is one
door west Of the McClaIIen House,

burg for the past ten years. He carries on the
business Of cabinet making and is one Of the
leading business men in his line. He makes a
speciality Of the undertaking department and
keeps stock Of cofins and caskets on hand.
At the dawn Of the life of the new citizen, Mr..
Benedict meets him with the comforting
cradle, and all through life makes his home
comfortable with nice furniture and at its
close carefully lays him away in a handsome

sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or n%eighboring organs.

present. tlatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeable itch
