of his article at Fort Fairfield.
The Augusta Age says:-"'Never in
the history of Augusta has there been
more drunkenness on the streets of Au-
gusta than for the past week. The po-
lice have been conspicuous by their alb
sence at the time when needed, and
gangs of intoxicated 1oafers have hung
around on the street corners on both
sides of the street until after midnight.
The police have seemingly been content
with giving al. occasional kind invita-.
tfon to "move on" without seeing that
the advice was needed for more than a
dozen yards"

FOR MEN MUST WORK
The Many Uncomplaining but
Weary Toilers.
They Go Without Rest to Make
Sure of Happiness for Others.
Overweight Nerves Work Half Fed and
Cry Out With Pain.

For eight out of every ten who ever take
a vacation there remains behind some
hard-working. uncomplaining toiler. who
is only too happy if he can provide rest
and change for those dear to him,
And 1t is lucky if, in many cases, this
self-denial does not get to be regarded as a
duty, and the thought of rest for ones
self thing impossible.
The number of such overweight men,
who simply toll right.on without so much
as two weeks respite a year, is sur
prisingly large
Grateful wives and children should see,
then. that these cheerful and unselfish
fathers and brothers do not work them
selves to DEATH" Signs of failing strength
and nervous weakness, that none so quick

firmly combated. A thorough feeding of

celery compound soon does away with
every form of nervous debility and ex-
baustion. The great nerve and brain in

plies rich material for the repair of all the
nerve tissues. II makes the thin, used-up
blood again capable of feeding the system,
and purifies it of all humors that work
harm to the body.
There are countless men so absorbed in
business that they disregard the indica-
tons OF nervous weakness and think that
their neuralgia, headaches and rheums-
tism are trifes. 1t is the duty of those
members of the household who see this
gradual decline from health to insist on a
building up of the rundown" system
and strengthening of the nerves and
brain by vigorous tonic like Paine's
celery compound.
In every city in this country there are
homes that have escaped sickness and
misfortune because some prudent me IN Der
has known the value of Paine's celery
compound for strengthening nerves and

The success OF the Horse Show Associations
first annual exhibition which opens on the
2Sth inst, in The Mechanics Pavilion, seems
TO be already assured. The president, Henry
j. Croker, stated yesterday that nothing
seemed lacking to make the show one of the
finest In the world. well worthy of a famous
horse breeding country like California.
The entries, which closed last Saturday, are
44o in number, but the catalogue will not be
gotten out until ten days before the opening of
the exhibition. President CrocSer states that
all the ia classes are well filled with horses
which include some of the best In the State.
An interesting feature of the show will be the
exhibition OF wOrld-renowned horses outside
entries. These animals have never been placed
on exhibition before, as their owners have not

He has found out this year. A friend III

his knowledge and consent. as he did
not wish to appear as the owner of it.
The amount was about 5000. and the as
SCISSORS taxed the Deering man upon it
as 30 much money at interest. He never
thought about that mortgage as the
source of his increased tax, but this
year the mortgage was transferred to the
owners mother. The tax amounted to
about SO year.
