During the prevalence Of the Grippe
the past seasons it was a noticeable fact
that those who depended upon DR..
Kings New Discovery, not only had a
speedy recovery, but escaped all of the
troublesome after effects of the malady.
This remedy seems to have a peculiar
power in affecting rapid cures not only
in cases of La Grippe, but in all diseases
of Throat, Chest and Lungs. and has
cured eases Of Asthma and Hay Fever
Of long standing. Try it and be con-

'Tis a most bitter lot to the poor
when it SHOWS"
The poets words apply to any kind
of hard and biting weather. In these
days of Joy and festivities in the warm
and well furnished home, let all re-
member that there are the poor about
us Away. Let all remember, too. that
giving to the poor is lending to the
Lord, for the Book says SO. Not the
simple wish that they may be warmed
and fed accomplishes it for the poor,
but the energized effort that seeks to
bring it ObOut. Let us all remember
the poor.

VICE-PREsIDENT STEVENSON in his
address at the Augusta Exposition a
few days ago, speaking to the farmers
wisely said:
your occupation is as old as the hui
man race. In all ages the cultivation
of the earth has been the only condi-
ton upon which human life could be
sustained. The poet Virgil says: "The
farmer may praise large estates, but let
him cultivate a small one"
