Proceedings of the Circuit Court.
On Monday morning last the
September term of the Circuit Court
for this county commenced with
Associate Judge Edward Stake on
the bench. Mr.. John Shartzer, of
Oakland, was appointed foreman
of the grand jury. The other
members Of the grand jury were
drawn and charged by the court.
The charge, like all Judge Stake
does. was practical and to the point.
If the grand inquest follows the
charge there will be no improper
indictments nor unnecessary expen-
ses piled upon the county. The
docket is the smallest We have had
in long while and the term will
probably not last more than two
weeks.
Under the rules of court no case
can be called for trial on the first
day of the term. The several civil
dockets were called over and judg-
ments entered in uncontested cases.

A Significant Departure.

With the departure Of another year
when review is made of the condition
of affairs, it is only right that some
thought be given to the physical body
which enables everyone to battle with
life's problem and figure for themselves
the profit or loss on the trial balance
sheet. Though the bank account may
be large and each ones material gain be
great, it would not be surprising if it
suddenly dawns upon many that good
health has beer greatly impoverished
by the low condition OF the blood. 1t is
in this state that the Tactic acid in the
vital fluid attacks the fbrous tissues,
particularly the joints, making known
the local manifestations of rheumatism.
Thousands Of people have found in
Hoods Sarsaparilla the great blood puri.
fer, positive and permanent cure for
rheumatism.

Speaking of other days an esteemed
friend the other day said this his recol.
lection went almost, but not quite, back
to the great Washington temperance
movement. His mother, he said, was
one OF the first signers to the pledge that
she would not only never touch iutoxi.
cants, but that she would rear her chill
dren in the earnestness of her own op.
position to the traffic. In her devotion
to the work she took his baby hand in
her own and guided it so that he, too
signed his name to the pledge. When
he was five years old, his mother died.
He has faint recollection of her fond
caresses, her dying prayer and bless
ing-a dear, good, noble woman. Years
later, he found the pledge, card on
which his name was written and learned
its history. So deep was the impression
made, that he lifted his hand to heaven,
$50 help me God," said he, '1'll keep
my mothers pledge!" Since that time,
he has wandered far and wide. He has
been through many scene of temptation
and revelry. But that mothers pledge,
resting close to his manly heart, was
never forgotten. That boy is now one
of Hillsboro's most respected citizens.
He's travelling down the slope toward
the ralley and the shadow. By and by,
he'll gladden. the heart of that noble
mother in heaven with the assurance
that her love and her prayers were not
in vain. Oh what wonders these mothers
can work! God bless them
