Is Life Worth Liringl

This is question that would be an
swered very differently by different in
joyment, to others life is a burden. To
man or woman who never feels well,
who arises in the morning unrefreshed,
with tired, languid feeling, life is in.
deed burdensome. This is the result OF
a torpid liver, inactive condition of the
kidneys, a foul stomach, &c. This con.
dition can all be quickly changed and
life made happy by the use of the new
remedy-Dr. Hale's Household Tea, the
great blood purifier and nerve tonic. II

ton of the liver and kidneys and makes
a person feel new. 80 cent packages al

Mrs. Carswen.

of Leroy, N. Y, was dying of Neuralgia
OF the Heart. The attending physician
had made his last visit and said there
was no possible chance of her living but
a few hours. Her son had been tele-
graphed for from Rochester to come and
see her die. AT this critical moment an
agent selling DIR. Hale's Household
Ointment called at the house and told
them the lady need not die at that time
If she would follow his directions. He
was so earnest and positive that the
family concluded to try the new remedy
and began applying it at once to the re-
gion about the heart; the pain soon
ceased, and Mrs Carswell rapidly recov-
cred, and is alive and we'll to day, and
she and all her family say DIR. Hale's
Household ointment saved her. This
wonderful medicine can be had at A. @.

There is one way-and only one
way-for our merchants to keep the
trade of this county at home, where
it belongs, and that is to advertise
persistently and judiciously, and let
the people know they have goods
to sell, and that their prices are as
low as those of any other town or
city. Here we have a dozen or
more merchants, large and small,
and not more than three or four use
the columns of a newspaper to let
the people know they are in bust
ness. The most of them "hide their
light under bushel."

RIVER NEws.-A slight rise in
the rivers created quite stir among
the river men the first of the week.
Capt. Aaron Williamson and Pilot
P. G. Holloway, took the Excel to
Cincinnati, Sunday morning.
The Claribell and G. a. Hill have
been crawling over the sand-bars
in their respective trades for several
days.
In the report made public months
ago of the Chief Engineer of the
Army, which included the reports
of the engineers in charge of the
river and harbor improvements
throughout the country, no esti-
mates for continuing the work of
improvement. were given. These
estimates are now given in the re-
port as printed. For completing
the improvement of the Great Kan
awha, w. Va, it is estimated that
100000 will be required, 100000
of which can be profitably expended
in the fiscal year ending June 80,
1892. On the Elk river, w. Va, it
is estimated that $4,000 can be ex-
