We venture to say there is no village
in Maine of her size that can boast of
more good horses and colts than the
good old town of No. Arson, and that
this is due in great degree to its being
the home of that noted stallion and
getter of speed, st. Croix, Jr., 2.148;
noue will deny.
While in No. Arson recently we had a
look at this beautiful specimen of horse
flesh, our first glimpse of him since the
season he made his record, 1894. We
but somewhat darker in color and much
heavier, looking to weigh fully 100 lbs.
Like numerous others in this vicinity
we had heard much concerning this
horses savage disposition, and many
rumors concerning the manner of caring
for him in the stable, but what was our
surprise to find him kind and gentle in
and about his stall, where he seems to
be quite pet with his owner and his
handler, they feeding him apples and
the like from their hands as one would
an old family standby.
Many of these ugly rumors came
about, no doubt, from his being with
drawn from the track last season and
kept in the stud, but when one reflects
the large amount his services command,
and that last season he served IS mares,
one can but commend the business
judgment of his owner.
This season he will again be kept in
the stud, anddrom present bookings it
looks as if last seasons big business
would be beaten. Among the mares
already bred to him since '96 are Maggie
Middleton, recently purchased at Fair
view Farm by Henry Washburne.
While it is we'll known that many of
ST. Croix's get have proven extremely
fast, the best recommendation the
horse has is the fact that our people
breed to him year after year, and you
will find many man with several St.
Croix colts of different ages-and they
are all good ones, too.

Food, undigested. is poison. Digested
it is life and strength. Millions of US
suffer from Indigestion, but we often
don't know it. We think it is something
else. Even doctors often mistake the
symptoms.
Pale, thin people, who are overworked
who need strength. who seem in want
of proper food, should take Shaker
Digestive Cordial. 1t is astonishing
what food ,oW do, when properly
digested.
1t will make you strong, revive you,
refresh you, sustain you, make you fat,
restore your color, make muscle, brain
fibre, courage, energy, increase your
power to throw off disease and keep you
healthy and happy.
Indigestion does just the opposite, but
indigestion can be cured and prevented
with Shaker Digestive Cordial.

Dasey, from New York yesterday, con-
signed to the agent of the Central of
Georgia railroad. The ties are subject
to the order of Warren, Jones &c Gratz. of
Chicago. There were 25, 900 bundles in
the cargo, which will be distributed
throughout this section.
Warren, Jones & Crate are members
OF the trust which monopolizes the tie
business this year. In order to control
the business of the season The trust sent
Mr.. Gratz to Europe some time ago to
make purchase of large cargo of ties
from European manufacturers. The
cargo received here is supposed TO b
part of the large import. -
