Faith In Farming.

That the residents in some localities in
this county, at least, have an abiding faith
in the future of this section, is strongly evil
denced in the experiences of a gentleman
who recently Travelled through some of
the more prosperous neighborhOods here
abouts endeavoring to purchase farm for
home. In a great many cases he met
with fiat refusal to sell for any considera-
ton; in nearly all the others he found no
anxiety or special desire among the own
ers to dispose of their holdings. The best
figures he obtained anywhere were $40 an
acre for land containing no building what
ever, while where there were improvements
of any value at all $50 was the ruling fig
ure. In some other localities he was offer
ed land at $50 an acre, but there were gen.
orally in such cases disadvantages, to es-
cape which the difference in price asked for
the better lands was only a fair and rea-
sonablc compensation.-Redw Repub-

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure, in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now

Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
