There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For great many years doctors pronounced It a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be constitutional disease and there fore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address

It is said that Montana cattle are not doing we'll this season, ow- ing to scarcity of water. Beef from that state is only bringing S3 per hundred in Chicago this season. As almost all the beef cattle from northern Arizona go to Montana, it is not likely that prices will be any better, if as good, next spring as they were tho past. Unless one makes profit they do not care to invest money and squander their time, beside having the worry and annoyance incident to buying, ship ping, driving, gathering and reship- ping to market. If our cattlemen do as we'll next year as they have this, they may consider themselves fortunate.

The following from the London Queen, applies so we'll to some of our fellow-townsman that we can not resist publishing it: Vulgarity marks the man or woman who is given to general backbiting and un- refocting slander--to the glad prop agation of Scandalous stories res- pecting people of whom he or she can know nothing. It gives a cer- tam sense of superiority to be able to thus besmirch the ermine of those who are set in high places and whose moral influence depends on their fair fame. If they are of such base material, what may not be par dOned to the eonfesscdly coarser clay-and are not the lesser fry in their own small way superior to these grander fellows? So think the vulgar minded retailers of scan- dalous stories ofthe great and prom inent. Those, too, who belittle their friends and acqualntances come into the same category.

Says the Florence Tribune The last legislature passed Jaw pro. viding a new method of distribu- ting school money. Hereafter the appropriation of school money will be based on the actual attendance at school, instead of the number of children of school age in district. It is therefore to the interest of our citizens to sec that there is a full attendance of pupils at our school, as tho length of the term depends on a large attendance.
