What Your Great Grandmother Did.


She hetcheled the fax and carded the
wool, and wove the linen, and spun the tow,
and made the clothes for her husband and
ten children. She made butter and cheese,
she dipped tallow candles, to light the house
at night, and she cooked all the food for her
household by an open fire place and a brick
oven. Yes; and when she was forty years of
age, she was already an old lady whose best
days were over, Her shoulders were bent and
her joints enlarged by hard work, and she
wore spectacleS and cap.
Her great Granddaughter, with all the
modern conveniences for comfort, refinement
and luxury, may be as charming and attract
i've at forty-five as at twenty. Especially is
this true if she preserves her health by the
use of DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescription,
which wards off all female ailments and ir-
Irregularities, cures them if they already exist,
keeps the life current healthful and vigorous,
and enables the woman of middle age to re-
tain the freshness of sirlhood upon brow and
cheek, the light of youth in her eyes, and
its elasticity in her step.
Go to your drug store, pay dollar, get a
bottle and try it-try a second, third il nes.
essary Before the third ones been taken
you'll know that there's remedy to help you.
Then you'll keep on and cure'n come.
But if you shouldn't feel the help, should
be disappointed in the results - you'll find
a guarantee printed on the bottle-wrapper
that'n get your money back for you.

Gentleman Hugh and his daughter, little

within about half a mile OF his house.
Here he met a man, md the two sat,
each in his own wagon, and conversed
for several m nutes. Mrs. Hebron, hear
ing her husband talking loud, went out
to see what was the matter. Before she
reached the place the man with whom
Hebron was talking drove off before she
was near enough to recognize him and
her husband was found to be SO helpless
that she had to have help to get him
home. He never arose from the stupor,
but died about 8 o'clock. At first it was
thought that his death was not from
natural causes and there was talk Of a
,coroner's inquest, but subsequent events
relieve all suspicion and point to heart
trouble as the cause. The funeral took
place ON the Tuesday following at the
