found deep snow, and drifting so it
was impossible to travel No mail, not
any thing like vehicle passed along the

McCormic made their way to their shops.
George Nansant and few men from the
village made quick steps from their
homes to the store of George /. Smith
where they enjoyed hot stove. The
storm ragged furiously to what might be
called blizzard, until Tuesday night
when the wind abated some. Two
sleighs passed during the day, one being

An obseryant metropolitan barber says
that he can tell ones physical condition
by the state of the hair
The Bible tells us that with his hair
gone Samson lost his strength. The Ro-
mans considered badness a serious
affection and Julius Caesar was never
quite satisfied with himself because his
poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book
and one can readily trace in IFS various
expressions, lines, changes and complex
ion the state Of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and
yet has pallid brightness, the face upon
whose cheeks nature paints rose of sim
gular beauty and flush, more marked in
contrast with the alabaster appearance of
the forehead and nose and lower part of
the face, is one of those whom the skilled
physician will tell you will some day
dread the funereal month of March, be-
cause it is then that consumption reaps
its richest harvest. Consumption they
tell us is caused by this that and the
other thing, by microbes in the air, by
heterogeneous in the blood, by deficient
nutrition, by a thousand and one things,
but, whatever the cause, decay begins
with Il cough and the remedy that will
etfectually stop the cause of that cough
cures the disease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of wasting
To stop it effectually, remedy must be
used that will search out the cause, re-
move that and then heal the lung and do
away with the cough. This is the power
special to itself, possessed alone by War
ner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy. This is no new-fangled notion
of narcotic and poisons, but an old-fash-
Toned preparation of balsams roots and
herds, such as was used by our ancestors
many years ago, the formula of which
has been secured exclusively by the
present manufacturers at great trouble
and expense. 1t is not a mere cold dry
err. 1t is a system-searcher and upbuild-
er and a consumption expellant Where
others fail, it wins, because it gets at the
constitutional cause and removes 1t from
the system.
J. w. Hensaw of Greensboro, Pa, on
Jan Is, 1883, reported that "he had de-
rived more more real benefit for the
length of time, from Warmers Log Cabin
Cough and Consumption remedy than he
had for years from the best physicians.
If you have cough, night sweats,
positive assurance in your own mind
that you, oh-you, have no consumption"
and yet lose flesh, appetite. courage, as
your lungs waste away, you may know
that soon the funereal month of March
will claim you, unless promptly and
faithfully you use the article named. If
other remedies have failed try this one
thoroughly If others are offered, insist
the more ON trying this unequaIed pre-
paration.
Some persons are prone to consump-
ton and they should never allow the dis
ease to become seated.

Another new fad for social gatherings
has been discovered or invented. 1t con-
tains as much hilarity as the donkey
party. The new thing is called pig
party. Every body at u party is required
to draw, with Il pencil ON white paper,
two pigs. The drawing must be made
without taking the pencil off the paper.
The second drawing must be made with
the eyes blindfolded, after which the
paper must be signed. The fun comes
when comparison ofthe drawings takes
place, and the prize in competition is
given to the draughtsman Of the best
pig. The person who makes the worst
drawing is called the pig.
