"IWILL FIGHT IT OUT ON THIS LINE IF 1T TAKES
ALL SUMNER

The bulldog is not an animal to be
admired. yet he possesses one trait that
at least entities him to our respect.
His tenacity of purpose is proverbial.
1t makes him formidable adversary.
A like trait has often enabled man TO
overcome great obstacles and win vic
tory under the most trying circum-
stances. In fact, it is only By tenacity
of purpose and indomitabie w;ilI-power,
that many of LIES battles are brought
to successful termination.
Disease, like mans more material
enemies, is often an obstinate adver-
sary, and it is only by the most de-
tcr1nined persistency in the use Of the
best remedy that victory is attained
over it. While DIR. Pierce's Golden Med
zeal Discovery is guaranteed to benefit
or cure in all diseases for which it is
recommended, yet in ailments of long
standing, which are usually alike slow
IN their inception and progress, the cure

the tramp tramp of Schoiield's troops march

They passed along on tho pike in plain view of

passed by and through the village, we were
