Our leading druggist. DR.. w. G.. Greg

fact. he states that he has in six months
sold more celery compound than all other
medicines combined There has been a
constant demand for IL.
zone of the noticeable cures that this
medicine has made Is the case of Mr..
Phil Ciinard, who last spring was re-
publican candidate for county treasurer.
Mr. clinard's nerves were all unstrung;
he had no appetite and WAS all run down.
He commenced using Paines celery COM
pound. and today there is not more well
and vigorous citizen in this whole COM
munity than Mr.. Clinard. Another case
that comes. closer is that of the wife OF
the editor of the Ledger. Everyone in
Oakland knows that Mrs. Yeargin was
confined 20 her bed for three whole
months with neuralgia AT times her
pains were awful so much so that her
hands would clinch and Ii took the united
strength of two persons to straighten out
her fingers. DR.. Carney, the family ply
slcian. treated her for months, but all he
could do was to alleviate the pains, not
effecting cure. Along last winter she
commenced using Paine's celery COM
pound.
''She commenced to gain I'm flesh at
once. Her pain all went away; her vital
ity increased weekly, and today there is
not a more healthy woman Ia town than
she. Her neighbours all marvel at her
complete recovery, and ask her the cause
and she has no hesitancy In saying that
IL is all due To Paine's celery compound.
This Is given voluntarily i'm the hopes
that others who are afflicted may he
prohted by using this great medicine.
which today Is without a peer In the

THE OUTLOOK.

One after another the towns in this
section of the state are sending in re-
ports of numerous improvements
new houses, store buildings going up,
here and there a mill, creamery, or
small factory. II these reports came
only from few towns they would be
encouraging. but coming from all di-
rections encouraging" hardly ex-
presses it. The clouds are passing
away and slowly, but surely, sunshine
is returning, and ere long the gloomy
spell which has been upon us for over
two years will be dispelled and gener-
al prosp Gritty will return once more to
our stricken land. The outlook is
most encouraging. Silver remonetiza-
tinn will surely be brought about in
side of three years, and while this
seems long time to wait, the hope
of it is giving new impetus to every
line of trade. The prospects for abund-
ant crops were never better and prices
for all kinds of produce are steadily
advancing. There was never a night
without day, and the dawn is upon
! us, and soon the dense darkness OF the
long and murky night from which we
are just emerging. will pass away and
sunshine and gladness Will once more
reign supreme in the homes and hearts
Of a long suffering people. Keep Il
stiff upper lip, practice industry and
economy and very soon all will be
we'll.
Rathdrum will emerge from this
gloomy spell in far better condi-
ton than many Of is neighbors, and
with numerous Improvements, not
withstanding the awful strain of hard
times, and will be in good shape to
welcome returning prosperity. Stop
and think moment, and note the inn
rprovements that have been made the
past two years, and surely you will
sAind much to feel encouraged over.

JUDGE SIMoNTON has shown that he
does not intend that his order of in
junction forbidding State Constables
from seizing liquor shipped from other
States to cit zens in South Carolina
for personal use shall be disregarded.
Under the decision, that psrt of tt e
Dispeusary law which au!horiz s
constables to seize liquor shipped from
other States or foreign countries is
declared unc institutional and in VIC
lation of the interstate commerce
laws. Judge Simon'on says that he
does not intend th.i his order shall
protect "blin.. tigers but that tue
burden of showing whether or not the
liquor is for private use is on the cor
stables and not the. consignee. It is
clear that whenever constable seizes
liquor, shipped from other states he
must be careful to have some pretty
strong proof that it is not for personal
use, otherwise he Will find himself in
Jail. This is the law of this District,
and if Governor Evans will act like a
sensible man and respect it as the law,
ha will do much towards bringing to
his aid strong moral support in the
suppression of "blind ;jgers." The
truth is the administrator should have
recognized long ago the right ofa citizen
TO order liquor for his own use, and
if it had been done, people would have
quietly acquiesoed in the Dispensary
law.
