Each season has it's own peculiar
malady; but with the blood maintained
in a state of uniform vigor and purity
by the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, little
danger need be feared from meteerolo-
gical influences. No other blood med
icine is so safe and effective.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Templeton, of
Hannah, had an adventure during the

They had been visiting at neighbor' S

not reach home, however, until next
morning having spent the night wall
dering about in one OF their own wheat
fields. Both escaped serious injury,
although MI. Templeton was slightly
frost bitten about the face.
A change in one of the leading mer-
camille firms Of our city occurred this
week by which Langdon will lose one
of its most capable business men. We
refer to the change in the firm Of Fos-
sum Hunter & Co., Mr.. Fossum having
disposed of his entire interest in that
firm to Charles Chisholm, and in few
weeks will leave for new fields. Mr..
Fossum has had this move in mind for
some time as he has other interests in
hand that require his personal atten-
ton. The new member of the firm,
Mr.. Chisholm, needs but few words of
introduction to the public as he has
always been closely connected with
Langdon and its business interests
since the town was started, and is per-
sonally known to nearly all of our
readers. He is a capable and thorough
business man and will bring into the
business not only capital but many
years of experience. We predict for
the Langdon Mercantile Company
the name under which the firm will
hereafter be known-a long and sue
cessful career.
