The grand jury made the following rec

the accounts of the road supervisors of this

Mr. j. J. Singleton qualified and was ad-
mitted 10 the bar of Jefferson.
Eleanor Nelson, daughter of c. \. and
Eleanor Coleman, aged four months, died
on Thursday morning last. Christian pa
rents bereayed as these are find genuine con-
ISOLATION in the words OF the Master who
babe his disciples Suffer little children TO
come unto me, and the expressions of hu-
man sympathy as the following are very
grateful
Twas such a tiny hOwer,
So pure and white
God gave the little life
To make home bright.
Or ere the petals opened,
He saw it best
To pluck the tender blossom,
And fold il 20 his breast.
No mystery about it. When the Shakers Of
fered some time ago 70 give away bottle Of
their Digestive Cordial TO any one who might
call at their New York office, there was great
rush and a great many people thought they
were crazy.
Subsequent events prove il to have been q
very clever advertising transaction toralthough
they gave away thousands of bottles, It paid,
as nearly every one that took a free bottle
came back for more and paid for II with pleas
ure, saying they had derived better results
from its use than from any other medicine
they had ever used.
There is nothing SO uniformly successful in
the treatment of stomach troubles as the Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial, and what IS better than
all, il relieves at once
LANOL. the new form of Castor oil, is so
palatable that children lick the spoon clean.
