A fire started last Friday on:the prem ises of Herbert B. Buxton, for the purpose of destroying few brush, caused quite an excitement, and for time it looked as ii nothing short of rain could stop the pro- gress of the flames. The neighbors turned out in force, and the fire was subdued Sat. urday morning, after burning nearly twen- ty-four hours, and burning over an area estimated at five hundred acres. This es- timate is from people we'll acquainted with the locality, and IS probably none too large. The principal damage done was the destruction of fences and sprout land. Had brisk wind started up during the time it is hard telling where the fire would have been stopped, <f $. fs

From Birth 10 the Grave

We carry with US certain physical traits.
as we do certain mental characteristics
Insomuch that psychologists have strlven
to designate by generic titles certain tenn
peraments-as as the bilious, the nervous,
the lymphatic. The individual with a
sallow complexion is set down as bilious,
often rightly so. If the saffron in the
hue of his skin is traceabe to bile in the
blood, its presence in the wrong place in
stead of the liver. will also be evinced by
fur on the tongue, pain beneath the right
ribs and through the right shoulder
blade sick headache, constipation, fiatu-
lence and indigestion. For the relief OF
this very common, but not especially
perilous complaint, there is no more gen.
sl and thorough remedy than Hostetter's s
Stomach Bitters, which is also benefi~
cIent tonic and strength promoter, and a
widely esteemed remedy for and preven'
talive of fever and ague, rheumatism
kidney and bladder troubles.
