When citizens of adjoining coun-
ties move over to good old Benton
we always try to do a good part by
them, and, if possible, elevate them
to public Office and use our utmost
endeavor to make them feel con-
tented and at home. The latest ez-
ample of this kind is that Of Mr..
VIII Rogers, who recently moved
from Huntingdon to Holiday. He
has been given the position Of road
overseer, and our correspondent at
the latter place speaks Of him in
the highest terms, and says he sis
the right man in the right place"
The man who paints his yard
fence, whitewashes his barn and
out-houses, cleans up his premises.
and keeps the weeds and trash from
accommodating in his yard and gar
den is a great benefactor. But a
slight neglect in these various small
matters would soon result in aeon
dition not easily eradicated, and
never without great damage, and,
we might add, a great danger, as it
now seems practically certain that
cholera will be epidemic this year
in the United States. All public
and private places should be kept
in good condition from sanitary
standpoint.
Efforts are being made, and pa
per will probably be circulated to
secure the necessary funds to build
a good andsubstantial fence around
the Camden Cemetery. The gate
is almost demolished, and the fence
is rapidly going to decay, exposing
the graves of our dead and the work
of loving hands to the degradation
of stock, which, unless the matter
is speedily attended to, great dis
truction will soon result. This is {
commendable move in which we are
! all more or less interested, an(
should enlist the hearty supper
and cooperation Of every either
of the town and community.
Mr.. Samuel Lockhart, one of tn,

on the top of your head. Then take a
sponge and q basin of hot water-just
as hot as you can bear 1t. Pass the hot
wet sponge slowly and steadily over the
face and forehead for eight or ten min

be borne. BY that time you face will
look and feel as II 1t were parboiled.
But do not worry.
Then battle the back of the meek rs
you have done the face, carrying the
sponge each time we'll up the back of the
head.
Keep this up for some length Of time;
then, without looking at yourself in the
glass-because that would be sure to dis
quiet you-dry your face and neck softly
n go and lie down fiat on your back.
Close our eyes and think just Of one
thing-how heavy you are on the couch
and how easily it supports you. That Is
really an important part OF the cure.
