Hope Springs Eternal.

In the human breast, Despite re-
peated disappomtments, the divine
spark rekindleS after each, Though
there may not be a silver lining to
every cloud, the yapors which OBJ.
scure the sky oft watt aside and
disclose the splendor Of the MONDAY
sun, Thus is hope justified, In.
valids who seek the aid from Hos
letters Stomach Bittters in the
hope Of something better than d
mere modification Of the evils from
which they suffer will find that II
iustides their expectation, Chills
and fever, rheumatism, dyspepsia,
liver and kidney trouble, nervous
ness and debility are thoroughly,
not partly rcmedied by the Bitters,
Loss of flesh, appetite and sleep are
counteracted by this helpful tonic
as by no other medicinal agent, and
to the old, indrm and conyalescent
it affords speedily appreciable bene'
fit, A wine glass full three times a
day,

have the money and they have
voted enough of it to build the road
from Fort Smith to Texarkana for
that purpose, There is not the
shadow Of a lingering doubt that
they intend to build the road next

ports over exports suggests great pos
sibilities to potato producers. Isn't

In peach production Georgia and
Texas are far in the lead, with more
than 100000 bushels each. and
eleven other States show a larger
prod duction than that Of New Jersey
or Delaware, which play so important
a part in the commercial supply.
New York State leads in the produc-
tion of pears, closely followed by CAL
fornia; no other State having pro.
duction half so large. Nearly half

prunes, or 1902, 573 Of the total Of

ana, California, Michigan, Ohio,
Kansas and Virginia, in the order
named; and California raises virtual
ly all of the apricots, or go, 94l BUSH
