Is Life
Worth Liying7

That depends upon the
Liver, for if the Liver is
inactive the whole sys-
tenn is out Of order-the
breath is bad, digestion
poor, head dull or aching,
energy and hopefulness
gone, the spirits are de-
pressed, a heavy weight
exists after eating, with
general dependency and
the blues. The Liver is
the housekeeper of the
health; and a harmless,
simple remedy that acts
like Nature, does not
constipate afterwards or
require constant taking,
does not interfere with
business or pleasure dur
ing its use, makes Sim
mons Liver Regulator a
medical perfection.

Going Out of Business.

The Farmers and Traders Bank is
closing up its affairs preparatory to going
out of business. Depositors are being
paid their dues as rapidly as they can be
called into the bank, and the vice-presi-
dent, w. S. Farmer, expects to have them
all paid in full in a few days at the far
therest and the institution ready to close.
1t is evident that the directors of the
bank do not consider it profitable to run
it longer in the face Of the present hard
times, but we understand that it is
their intention to reopen the bank when
business will warrant it.
The honorable and business like man
ner in which the bank is settling up its
affairs is fresh evidence of its stability,
and is such as will react to its credit
should 1t resume business.

not turn with deep interest to the recollec-

He was driving him on the track at the
time. The colt was in high spirits, and
in a sudden fit of p%layfulness whirled
and upset the sulky, throwing out Mr..
Burgess and getting away. The colt
succeeded in detaching himself from the
sulky and going through three wire
fences before he was ready to quit his
Jun. Mr.. Burgess was not hurt and the
colt but little scratched. The sulky did
not come out of the scrape as well
