Your stomach of course. Why? Because
if it is out of order you are one OF the most
miserable creatures living. Give 1t fair,

smoke in the morning. Don't drink in the

wait until your stomach is through with

soon to introduce pure spring water into
the houses of the town. Already the COM
pany has made heavy expenditures. Thirty
six hundred yards Of piping conduct fresh
water from springs west of town, and
it will be forced to a stand pipe and thence
distributed. No great reservoir to be filled
and become stagnant and the abiding place
of filth, and frogs, and fish, and reptiles,
but water pure and fresh daily from the
springs. We trust the public-spirited gen

enterprise may have success commensurate
