Use 1t i'm TiHse.

Catarrh starts in the nasal pas
sages, affecting eyes, ears and throat,
and is in fact, the great enemy of the
mucous membrane. Neglected colds
in the head almost invariably pre-
cede catarrh, causing an excessive
flow Of mucous, and if the mucous
discharge becomes interrupted the
disagreeable results Of calarrh will
follow, such as bad breath, severe
pain across forehead and about the
ewes, q roaring and buzzing sound in
the ears and oftentimes a very often
siye discharge. Ely's Cream Balm
is the acknowledged cure for these
troubles.

MEMORIALDAY IN KENT,

Memorial day was celebrated with un- usual services, this year. The morning dawned fairly bright and clear, but un- usually cold for the season. Some said
 there was frost at day light, but rising
 not trace behind. AS early as the dawn appeared. so soon the citizens
 (some of them) of Kent, were astir,
 making ready for the coming festivities.
 For they knew, though a great feast was
 before them, so also was vast amount
 of work. By o'clock the teams came
 streaming in. For the first hour or two
 it was only an occasional scout, as it were to spy out the land, the advance guard of mighty host on the way. By o'clock they came pouring in from the north. south, east and west, and con- tinued till the sun indicated high noon.
 Every barn, shed, and hitching post was occupied. But Kent is big hearted, it's streets are as broad as the peoples hearts and all were provided for, though an occasional timid horse imagined an army | with banners and band was terrible thing and began to govern himself ac- cording to his fears. The old veterans and the sons of veterans with their I friends and relatives living north of l Kent and on the line of the Housatonic railroad arrived on the 10.30 train and l were met at the depot by the receIt on
 committee, which consisted of Rev 1 Messrs Wright and Bielby. B. 6. Pratt
 and C. F. Coester, George Hopson being unable to attend on account of sicknf
