Happiness.

The foundation of all happiness Is health.
A man with an imperfect digestion may be a
millionaire, may be the husband of an angel
and the father Of half dozen cherubs, and
vet be miserable if he be troubled with dys-
pepsia, or any Of the disorders arising from
imperfect digestion or a sluggish liver Dr..
Pierce's Pleasant purgative Pellets are the
safest and surest remedy for these morbid

BOiIs and CarbunCIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after a comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr.. c. X. Murray, Of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was af-
flieted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, Of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause Of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one Of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations Of a scrofulous taint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfgured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla a fair
trial, - avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect a cure but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.

FIRE Last Friday morning, at
about one o'clock, the dwelling on
Thomas Carlisle's farm, two miles
east of Milford, was consumed by fire,
and William Hopkins, the colored
tenant, with five year old daughter,
were burned to death. The fire issup-
posed to have had its origin from
smouldering Goals, in an open fire
place; as the family had had fire
there the evening previous, as the eve
ming was very cool. Three other chil-
dren and his housekeeper, with her
baby, escaped 10y jumping out the sec
ond story window. Neighbors saved
the large barn and other outbuildings.
The loss on buildings and personal
property will amount TO about 81 600.
The bodies were both consumed with
the exception Of three or four ribs and
n few inches of the back bone of the
larger body.

Iohn H. Bennett, of Milford Neck, says he
got 200 bushels to the ton, from the use OF

William Allen, of Milford Neck, tells me
that his father raised 36I bushels of wheat on

1885. seeded nearly seven acres of land
with one and one-half bushels Of wheat to
the acre, and 500 pounds Of high grade
phosphate to the acre. got 63 bushels OF
wheat Last fall seeded the same land

used it have got big crops. Mr.. Edward
Short also used the Diamond Soluble Bone
last fall in very light land and raised IS
bushels of wheat to the acre. Nothing has
eoualled the Diamond Soluble Bone in this
section. W. L. HALL
Mr.. David Mills, of Cedar Creek hundred,
says that he gave fair competition in 1885,
between the Diamond Soluble Bone and

than the Diamond Soluble Roue-four kinds
In all-and the Diamond beat the others
from two to seven bushels per ton and made
the best grass to follow. Since then Mr.

four-ffths Of human diseases have their
source in Impure Blood, a medicine
which restores that fluid from a de-

near being a universal cure as any that

The profits of gardening, whether it be
fruit culture, Horticulture or vegetable gar
dening, not only in direct money returns,
but also in health, happiness and beautiful
surroundings are, taken altogether, greater
than those of plain farming and greater than
those of most other pursuits. The taste for
and the practice of gardening has been fat
less in this country than in Europe. Indeed,
most of our commercial gardeners are Of Eu-
ropean birth and training. But now garden
ing is rapidly increasing in America, as
shown, for example, by the marked success
of ''The American Garden" of New York,
now acknowledged to be the foremost
monthly horticultural periodical in the world.
So great has been its success, and so earnest
the response on the part of tile public to its
every improvement, that it has outgrown its
price Isl ,oo) and after January Ist. it is pro
posed to make it $500 magazine in cost as
it has been in quality for some time. 1t is
announced, however, that all who wish can
still subscribe at the present price, for as
many years as desired.
