Burd cite says: Only few weeks
ago an Indiana man taught his dog, a
very finely-bred, well-behaved setter,
to chew tobacco. Now the dog comes
into the house by the back door,
never scrapes his feet on the mat,
never goes to Church, is careless at
his meals, gets burs in his tail, goes
with lower grade of dogs, and it is
feared that he is beginning to take an
interest in politics.

.ahfs7f- McMinnville. Feb, 9, 1888.
The mule trade as well as the lum-
Der trade, has been the means of cir
culating many thousand dollars in
this and other counties near by. The
demand for mules is still good, es-
pecially for medium size in good con-
dition, at fair prices. This and the
lumber business, in connection with
our manufacturing interests, have
been the means of circulating enough
money in this county to make money
easy. Our banks show larger deposits
than usual. This is good indication,
and with reasonable good crops the
coming year we may expect even
better times. There is very little
change in produce; however an adj
vance in price of corn and corn meal
is noticed. Eggs are quiet, with a
probability of even lower prices in
the near future. The season is at
hand for an increased prod uction and
lower prices usually follow.

SCROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands Of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which develOpes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general OF all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.

How !: &C. Ca" CURED

BY taking Hoods sarSaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some Of these
cures are really wonderful. II you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
"Every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, sores breaking
out on them In various places. My little boy,
three years old, has been terrible sufferer.
Last spring he was one mass Of sores from head
to feet. Twas advised to use Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, aud we have all taken it. The result
is that all have been cured OF the scrofula,
my little boy being entirely free from sores,
and all four Of my children look bright and
healthy" W. B. ATHERToN, Passaic City, NJ.
