superb nutriment. There are thous-
ands Of men and women to-day who
have been enabled to keep vigorously
at work, who must have given up but
for Paine's celery compound.
Nervous affections are a warning to
busy people
At the earliest sign Of reduced nerve
force, inability to sleep, languor, or a
gloomy habit Of mind every one should
look Immediately to the nutrition of
their nervous system and to the purity
Of their blood. Paine's celery compound
will attend to both Of these urgent needs
more thoroughly and more speedily
than anything else in the world. Paines
celery compound is not to be confound-
ed with the common preparations, the
sarsaparillas and nervines. Being the
discovery of a man of science, Prof
Edward z. Phelps, NJ. D., LII. D., Of
Dartmouth College, it has the support
OF the best physicians; they prescribe it
universally; and the many sick persons
made we'll by its use proves that that
support is merited
To the great majority of business
months of complete inactivity, is out
of the question at this season, even
when their brains demand a complete
rest and their nerves ache and threaten
them with prostration. Now, there are
hundreds Of business men and hard
worked professional men in this city
in just this condition What are they
to do? Those who are tired out, run
down" and debilitated at this trying
season will do we'll to read some of the
and convincing state
ments from the men and women who
have been cured by Paine's celery
compound.
Nervous weakness vanishes before
Paine's celery compound as mist before
the strong, health-giving rays of the
sun. Convince yourself of the fact at
once, if your health is at all impaired.

A CARD.

To the Public:-The Horseshoers'
Union is making fight against me be-
cause l do not belong to that organiza-
ton. The public should be in possess
sion of both sides of the controversy
in order to form an intelligent opinion.
l am paying more than union wages 10
men who work for me, but the union
asks me to raise the price of work to
from 81 so to 50. My trade is almost
exclusively from the country, and my
customers certainly would not pass
shops where work can be done more
cheaply, to come to me. A Fulton
horseshoer has been taken In, without
being required TO raise the price OF
work. and I asked the same privilege
as simple justice. If agree to the de-
mands of the union. it will not be long
until | am forced out of business.

Rev. Zephaniah Meek, D. D., is a
household name all over the South.
Since 1867 he owned and edited the
Central Methodist" the leading paper
of the Methodist Episcopal Church in
the South. He represented his State
at the General Conference.
He was one of the Kentucky Com
missioners at the Chicago Columbian
Exposition. During his ministry in
the South he has built and dedicated
five chapels. He writes from Catletts-
burg. Ky, where his home is as fol-
lows:
q have used several bottles Of Paine's
celery compound forneryous trouble, re-
sulting from overWork. and with imme-
diate effect. as well as permanent bene-
fit. 1t is the best nerve tonic that
have ever tried. It has also been used
in my family with great benefit.
Tired-out. half sick men and women
need something more than mere
rest. They need a positive, Unmistak-
able nerve food; they must have a re-
serve of nerve force to draw from, be-
fore their heads will cease to ache and
their nerves cease to tremble with neu-
ralgia.
1t is estimated that there are over
ten million nerve fbres in the body.

Headaches, neuralgia, rheumatism, and
other forms Of nervousness and debil-

nervous system. Paine's celery COM

dition. 1t builds up the nervous sys-

PRACTlCING LAW.
The Judge Says II Is Absolutely Devoid
of Amusement.

The Judge Says II Is Absolutely Devoid
of Amusement.
"There's no more fun in the practice
of law" observed tho judge as he soft
ly brushed away the film Of soft ashes
from the live end of his cigar. Thirty
years ago, when we used to impeach all
the witnesses on the other side and have
two or three fights every noon recess, it
was worth while to be in the profess
sion.
II read in my old home paper yester
day that Bill Traynor was dead. There
was character. Did ever tell you the
story about him?
"Bill once sat on q jury in one of my
first cases. 1t was an assault and bat
terry case The trouble came up over the
attempt to build fence across high
WAY. There were two defendants and
four prosecuting witnesses. The trial
was held at the home of the justice of
the peace, IA clapboard little house right
out in cornfield We couldn't find II
men in the township, so we agreed to a
jury of SIX The Justices wife stood i'll
the doorway during the trial and die
tated all the rulings.
"They didn't make any case against
us-my partner and l appeared for the
defense--but we knew the jurymen
wanted their fees, and they wouldn't
get any if the defendants won. So we
were not very hopeful.
1.-THE six jurymen went out into the
cornfieId to deliberate. They were gone
about two hours and then brought III a
verdict of guilty and fined each of the
defendants So and costs. The jury was
about to be discharged when my partner
jumped up and said to one Of the jury
men: Say, who are you? l don't re-
member seeing you before. Then the
foreman spoke up and said: That's all
right. Bill Traynor couldn't wait. He
went off home, and we got Joe here to
take his place.
"Thats fact. Bill had put in a
substitute on the jury after they got out
in the cornfeld. The justice said it was
all right anyway, so long as there was
majority of the jury present, but
