more than q hundred feet from the
ground, where it will float every day

TO catch the eye of visitors entering
the town from any direction and a
constant reminder to the children who
will daily assemble beneath it of the
glory and majesty of their country.
May the love Of it grow with their

strength until it shall become part
of their very being 80 that they will
sooner part with life than suffer it to
be dishoDored.

Medal Contest" system. He furnish
es books of declamatiOns. and classes
of not less than six persons under
twenty-one years of age are formed
and trained and, with competent judy
es appointed, the contest Is given pub
licly, the winner receiving a silver
medal. When contests enough have
been given so that six or more persons
hold silver medals, they then are
formed in class and compete for a
gold medal, Six or more holding gold
medals can then compete for a dia-
mond medal. He furnishes the med
ais free. The plan Is being adopted
all over the country, and creates a
great interest in all towns where these
classes are formed. There Is a class in
training now IN this city, under the
auspices Of ladies especially interested
in temperance work, and a contest
will be given in the near future.

Perhaps the readers OF the REGISTER
would like to know in what respect
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is bet
ter than any other. We will tell you.
When this remedy is taken as directed
as soon as cold has been contracted,
and before it has become settled in the
lsystem, it will counteract the effect of
the cold and greatly lessen its severity,
lif not effectually cure the cold in two
days time and it is the only remedy
that will do this. 1t acts in perfect
harmony with nature and aids nature
in relieving the lungs, opening the Sc
lcretions, liquefying the mucus and
Icausipg its expulsion from the air cells
of the lungs and restoring the system
to a strong and healthy condition. No
other remedy in the market possesses
these remarkable properties. No oth
er will cure cold so quickly or leave
the system in so sound q condition

The REGISTER, in common with
every other business enterprise in lola
end in the COUNTY. is directly and
vitality interested in having the far
mers secure the largest possible re-
turns for their produce. 1t is on this
account that We do not feel it necessary
to apologize for what might otherwise
be considered unwarrsnted meddling
+ with other peoples business, in the
, Isunnastinpa v,,oHa olsouharo aopaarn-
ing the storing of corn. However
2 cheaply farmer may get what he has
, to buy he cannot prosper unless he re-
ceives fair price for what he has to
sell, This is q self-evident truth, aud
for this reason it seems to Us the first
, concern of the farmers should be &c
secure a profitable return f1r their
produce. 1t seems to US that the plan
I referred to is a step in this direction
and for this reason We respectfully
urge it upon the attention of those
most interested.
The general feeling among cattle
> men that there is money TO be made
; during the lext year or two In theiI
business is resulting in a very percep-
tible stiffening in the price of stock
+ cattle. Young cattle are especially in
demand. one lot of yearling steers that
we heard of having sold at auction the
other day for sic head. This activity
. in the stock market has had the effec,
: also of stren2thing the price of corn &c
: no smnll degree. Feeders are paying
II and Is cents q bushel, and one man
z told us the other day that be expected
o to pay 20 cents for several hundred
: bushels that he needed TO see him

that we are on the up grade.
One night last week half dozen OF
. the boys at Geneva concluded they
wanted some honey AMI go went tc
one Of the neighbours hives and helped

honey, confessed their theft and beg

j, The owner consented, but some Of the
other good people hearing of it, con
clnded the boys ought TO be punished
b and so had them arraigned before
1 Justice McQuigg. They plead guilty
: and contributed a dollar each TO the
school fund.
