A Dig in the Ribs,

If on the right side and lower part of the
diaphragm, though playfully meant and
delivered, is calculated to evoke profanity
from chappy whose liver is out of order.
When that region is sore and congested,
pokes seem fiendish. Look al a man s
countenance ere you prod him under the
ribs. If his skin and eyeballs have a sallow
tinge, you may infer also that his tongue is
furred, his breath apt to be sour, that he
has pains not only beneath his ribs. but
also under the right shoulder-blade. Also,
that his bowels are irregular and his diges-
ton impaired. Instead of making jocose
demonstration on his ribs, recommend him
to take, and steadily persist in taking, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. the finest anti
bilious and alternative medicine extant. In
comparable is it, also, for dyspepsia, rheu.
matism, nervousness, kidney trouble, and
fever and ague.

sealskin sacaues.

The best sealskins and the majority of
them come from Alaska. The seals are
caught near shore, and driven to seal pens
on the land. Here they are kept and fed
for time like other cattle until killing
time. They are not allowed to be killed
until they are two years old nor after they
are four. The skins of the baby seals are
too tender, and the old seals are kept for
breeding. When they are killed the skins
are all packed in brine and sent to Lon
don. Ii seems odd that sealskins which
are obtained within the United States have
to be taken out of it and carried over
the long journey from Alaska to England
to be cured and dyed, and then brought
back to the United States again for sale
Such is the fact however. The best, and
about the only place for preparing seal
skins is in London itself, on the banks of
the Thames, and the dirty water of the
Thames is used IN the process. Several
attempts have been made to establish
places in the United States, but they have
all failed. even where the skilled workmen
were brought over from the English estab-
lishment. 1t may be the climate or it
may be the dirty Thames water which
affects the skins peculiarly. Whatever it
is, the same skins cannot be prepared here
anything near as successfully as they can
in London.-Boston Herald.

THE ROSARY OF MY YEARS.

Some reckon their age by years,
Some measure their life by art
But some tell their days by the TOW of their
tears
And their life by the means of their heart.
The dials of earth may show
Inc length, not the depth of years;
rev or many may come, few or many may go ;
But our time is best measured by tears.
All! not by the silver gray
mat creepS through the sunny hair
And not by the scenes we pass on our way
ana not by the burrows the finger of care
On forehead and face have made
NOT SO do we count our years;
Not by the sun of the earth-but the shade
VI our souls-and the fall of our tears
For the young are ofttimes old,
Though their brow be bright and fair,
While their blood beats warm their hearts lie
cold
Ger them the spring time-out winter is there
And the old are oft-times young
When their hair is thin and white:
ana they sing in age as in youth they sung
And they laugh, for their cross was light.
But bead by bead tell
The rosary of my years,
from cross to crown they lead-'tis well
ANA they are blessed with q blessing of tears
Better day of strife
Than century OF sleep:
Give me instead OF a long stream of life
The tempest and tears of the deep.
A thousand joys may foam
On the pillows of all the years;
But never the foam brings the brave bark
1t reaches the heaven through tears

we sat in his parlor. con our way to the
Big Horns hunting, to see in Lower Cali

hold him great who giveth food,
To bird and beast and man,
Who findeth out for human good
The thoughts of natures plan.
Who sees the desert bare and lone,
And with prophetic thought,
BehOlds the cities now unknown
The wonders man has wrought.
he bids the mountain streams come down,
To bless the desert sands;
And all the wealth of labor's crown
Is poured into his hands.
his footsteps go where none had trod,
He rears his lonely home,
And calls the blessing of his God
Upon the seeded loan.
he calls the ships upon the main,
To come at his command,
To bear his hundred-fold of grain,
Where want and famine staEd.
Where once the wierd coyotes cries
Were heard beneath the moon,
He spreads beneath the loving skies
The orange groves in bloom.
Who maketh songs does passing well,
All striving worketh good;
To him my homage / would tell,
Who feeds the multitude
This is the man of noble BIRTH
Who on the desert stretching wide
Or on the brushy mountain side
Finds food for starving earth.

Going to QUIT.

It will be unpleasant news to the cit
liens of this community TO learn that
the old and popular firm Of merchants,
Standiford, Youmans s. Eldred, have
decided to close out their present stock
between now and January 1, 1890. This
firm has, perhaps. more friends in tins
county than any mercantile firm that
ever did business here. They came
here in the early days, and, for a long
time, theirs was the only general store
in the town of Medicine Lodge. and
their southern and western trade was
only bounded by the Red river on the
south, and the Colorado line on the
west. They have sold millions of dol
lars worth of goods, and they have glv-
en- satisfaction under all circumstances.
But now they have decided to make a
change in their business, and while they
will continue their store at Englewood,
they will absolutely close out their Med
icine Lodge stock.
To do this they will commence next
Monday, October It'll, selling at cost,
for cash only. AS we understand it,
this does not mean 80 days credit, OF
any credit. to anybody: but that 1t is
an absolutely cash sale.
They have commenced to close up all
old accounts, and when customer has
not the money, they will accept cattle,
hogs, corn, oats or wheat. OF course
they prefer cash, but it is absolutely
necessary that they collect all outstand-
ing notes and accounts, and to that end
they propose to give everybody chance
to square up.
This firm has been very lenicnt with
its customers, we all know. If you,
dear reader, or your friend, were in
want, and needed a short credit, this
firm accommodated you; if you were
sick, they furnished you provisions il
your crop failed, they.carried you. Now
in these days of prosperity, when you
have raised good crops, when you have
fat stock, and are on your feet, remem-
Der your old friends, square up with
them, and if you want the benefit OF
their closing out sale, drop in and see
| them.

OsEr Street lamps.

We have for some time thought to call
attention to the fact that the streets of
Scotland Neck are not properly lighted.
Several streets in town have not sing
lamp. Our commissioners owe it to the
town to have better lights. Main street
even is not sufficiently lighted, especially
near the cademy.
The people in GAINESVILLE and in Green
wood are entitled.to some light as well
as the middle Of the town, and the mid
die does not get half enough.
Church street ought to have several
lamps. Depot street ought to have more
lamps. Roanoke street ought to have
some lamps. Tax the town to get the
money, and let visitors see our town in
respectable light by night as well as by
day, and let our ladies and others when
going to church be able to see how to
miss mud puddles and so protect their
health.
