NO WORK DONE.

There has scarcely been any work done
mt all on many of the farms in this section.
The constant rains have made it impossl-
bic for the farmers TO do anything towards
their crops. Even gardens have not been
planted or prepared.
There will be more preparation for
raising stock in this section this year than
usual. and from the large quantity that has
been sold here this year it would seem that
the business would be quite profitable.

PROTECT YOUR HEALTH.

Cold and moisture combined have a
torporising effect upon the bodily organs.
and the digestive and secretive processes
are apt to be more tardily performed in
winter than in the fall; the same is true,
also, of the excretory functions. The
bowels are often sluggish, and the pores
of the skin throw off but little waste mat
ter at this season; the system, therefore,
requires opening up little, and also
purifying and regulating, and the safest,
surest and most thorough tonic and alter
ative that can be used for these purposes
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Persons
who wish to escape the rheumatic twinges
and dyspeptic agonies, the painful dis
turbances of the bowels, the bilious at
tacks, and the nervous visitations, so
common at this time of the year, will do
well to reinforce their systems with this
renowned vegetable stomachic and invig-

LOUISVILLE.

Miss Sadie Shepherds death has
brought universal mourning to the entire
community. Her bright, winning man.
ner, musical talent, honest, conscientious
work done for the Master to whom she
always looked for help and strength,
had won for her place in the affections
of her associates, which anyone might
envy. Surely her life, though short, had
not been in vain. Being but twenty
years of age it seemed hard to be de-
prived of the association of one who
was so useful to our community. For
the last five years she had been closely
identified with all the interests of the
church, and especially the Sunday School,
for the best interests of which no sacri-
flee of time and labor seemed too great,
and her absence casts a gloom over the
school which will be hard to lift But
the thought comforts us that she is now
reaping the reward of those blessed
truths of the Gospel which she so earn
estly endeavored to impress upon the
hearts of her pupils; that the hands that
accompanied with music here our songs
of worship will now touch more wonder
full chords to the praise of the Master
whom she worshipped; that our loss is
her gain, and that though We may not
have her presence with us we shall be
blessed in her memory.
