Purify Your Blood.

Bodily and mental health depend upon
. healthy condition of the blood. The
blood particularly in the spring and
summer months, becomes clogged with
impurities, which poison it and generate
disease. A harmless blood purifier is
necessary to restore healthy tone.
The best purifier and tonic known is

MEMORIAL DAY.

Memorial services were observed III
the park in this city on Wednesday
afternoon. The program, as published
last week, was carried out with but
little variation. The number of PEG.
pie in attendance was large-larger
than on any previous year. Many
were in from the country. Without
individualizing the exercises, it is
enough to say they were good, and re-
ceived with much satisfaction. We
cannot refrain mentioning the decla-
nations of Masters Baker and Dexter.
Superiority in public speaking is high
attainment. 1t is common saying the
Baker boys are born orators. The
military made highly creditable ap-
pearance. The graves Of the dead
soldiers in the cemeteries were liberal
ly decked with flowers. The Ken0sha
High School. Of which Prof. Leach is
the Principal, furnished the program
chiefly for the exercises in the park.
The pleasing Juvenile music was volun-
teered. The exercises of the day
We're appropriate and interesting. and
merit more full description.

There was an agitation in Chicago
last Sunday such as was never wit.
messed before in that city, on subject
of public morals. The occasion for
this was great. The churches, the
schools and the friends of law and
order had been grossly insulted by the
liquor dealers. The Mayor and Com
mon Council had been presented with
a petition a week previous, signed by
about ten thousand persons. including
the principal clergymen, Protestant
and Catholic, in the city, with the lead
ing business men of all professions.
The petition asked that no liquor
saloon should be located within 200
feet of a church or school house. 1t
was received, it is said, by the Council
with derisive laughter. This very
naturally aroused the indignation of
the decent people of Chicago, and the
result was the great uprising last Sun
day. The war against the saloon will
now be carried on more vigorously
than ever before-not against their
legal rights, but against their assumed
rights, which they do not possess. The
saloons violate the Sunday law in de
fance of the authorities. The united
power that will now be brought upon
the over FIVE thousand saloons where
the business of misunderstanding goes
on every day and night in the week
will make things interesting.

BRISTOL VILLAGE.

This place is making steady progress
in its many improvements. The Shot
lift house is ready for the plasterer. This
will be fine structure and pleasant

of Sam Bohanan, and the chimney stack
will be well up in the sir before this

Rev. Mr.. Potter's horse made things
lively on his return home from Pikeville
church last Sunday evening. The horse
took fright just as Mr.. Potter reached
home. and rushed into the dooryard
throwing him out, and then dashed
through the new parsonage dooryard
fence, then down the road, and when
caught just one thill of road cart was
left to tell the tale. The cart is a com.
plete wreck, but horse and man not Sc
riously damaged. The mare is fine
animal, and in the hands of horseman
with constant work would be a prize
worth having. 0 R''
A heavy hail storm passed just south
of this village last Sunday, but the wind

Over so tickets were sold at Is cents
each. Seneca Wing and John Stout
were chosen to do the drawing. Amidst
breathless silence the tickets were drawn
and read until nearly all we're out of the

that there is sometimes luck in even
numbers. The name of the lucky
owner we did not learn, but we believe
he hailed from SHADES Corners.

PROHIBITION AND WOMAN
SUFFRAGE.

The State Prohibition Convention at
Madison having declined to endorse
woman suffrage, a friend requests us
to give the following reasons: The
convention was not called to express
opinions on the question Of woman
suffrage. but it was prohibitory con-
vention. Suffrage and prohibition are
two distinct questions. Not all Pro
hibitionists are woman suffragists; but
MANY are opposed. 1t was, therefore,
believed by majority Of the conven-
tion that prohibition would be stronger
standing alone than by having reforms
attached to it In respect to which there
ere conflicting opinions.

the drink traffic, because they provide
for its continuance and afford no pro-

GREAT RELIGIOUS BODIES
LATELY IN SESSION.

The worlds reformation, especially
that of our own country, ought to be
making good progress. in view Of the
vast moral and religious machinery
now in operation. The great religious
organizations, national in extent, have
been holding their annual meetings
within the past few weeks. The
Methodist General Conference, con-
trolling a vast number of agencies for
outstanding and the elevation of hui
manity, is welding vast power for
good. The Presbyterian General As.
ssmbly, North, and the General AS
sembly, South. both holding the same
articles of faith, have been in session.
one in Philadelphia and the other in
Baltimore. Besides these three great
religious bodies, there have been at
least half dozen other organiza-
tions, each extending through many
states, in session during the same time.
In addition to all these there have
been conventions and associations, hay
ing for their object the moral and edu-
cational improvement of the people.
With these united activities Of various
bodies of talent, all intent OF reform,
it is reasonable to expect great results.
Some disbelieving people say, aWhat
Of all this: will it pay?" tits true the

are not the work of brief periods of

Of humanity have been achieved only

The time is sure to come when the oc-
cupation of the drunkard-maker will
be outlawed, as is that now of the
slave dealer. The public gatherings,
of people of various denominations

the onward movement Of the right and
the Encouragement of the wrong.

G. III. Hackley, formerly of this city,
where he resided during his younger
years, attended the public school here
and received his education, fitting him
for business, moved with his father to
Muskegon. Michigan. There he enter
ed into the lumber trade, and succeed
ed in acquiring large wealth. He now
uses his money wisely, and just as
many other rich men ought to do who
now hoard up their wealth, contribut.
ing nothing for the public good. He
has just given 100000 for the benefit
of the public schools, public library
and reading room, free to all, for
Muskegon. The achievement of re-
putation which such noble deeds will
give for him is worth hundred times
more than all that can be said of a
man, "he is rich"

owe their prosperity to horse corn plant
