five or six miles east Of town. 1t seems
that the bear uses mostly around the
Messer old mill, near Mr.. p. w. Messer's
plantation, and every morning his tracks
can be seen where he has been the night
before in the corn fields. Several hunt
ing parties have gone out after him, but
none have been so fortunate as to find
him. From the reports of the citizens of
that community there is no doubt that
the bear is actually there, and it Is to be
hoped that some one will succeed in kill
ing or capturing him. Some seem to
think there is pair of them, but whether
or not any one has seen either we are not
able to say.

A NEW DISCOVERY by the SHAKERS

For more than hundred years the Mount
Lebanon Shakers have studied the cultiva-
ton Of medicinal plants and sought to ex-
tract from them their healing essences.
Their labor has not been spent in vain.
They have made discovery that will prove
a blessing to mankind. 1t consists Of cor
dial that causes immediate relief in cases OF
indigestion. The importance of this dis
cOvcry will be apparent when we realize
that nearly nine-tcnths of our suffering are
caused by dyspepsia or Indigestion. Nearly
every person you meet has this digestive
trouble in some of its varied forms-sck
headache, distress after eating, pain and
fullness in the chest after eating, palpita-
ton Of the heart, etc, are but symptoms of
indigestion. TO relieve these suilerings has
been the study of the Shakers, and they
Digestive Cordial has such an immediate
and salutary effect is that it causes the food
eaten to be digested, for it Is undigested
food that causes the distress. The Cordial
causes the food to be digested before there
is time for it to ferment and sour on the
stomach. When the food is so digested it
gives strength and vigor to the feeble body
makes one feel bright and cheerful, and
makes one gain in flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt in its
action that the very first dose will have a
perceptibly favorable result. 1t gives i'm
mediate relief.
Every druggist has been sent a supply of
our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books, and
a copy may be had for the asking. 1t tells
all about the Cordial as well as Laxol, the
new castor oil.
Try twenty-five cent bottle of Digestive
Cordial and see what it will do for you.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

The national contest has been waged with
unabatel interest since the respective candI-
dates for President hayc been nominated. In
no other contest since the memorable cam
paign of Abraham Lincoln, has there been
such intense interest manifested by the people
as in the one now about closing. There is
every reason to predict that the Republican
party, battling for the preservation Of public
credit and protection to home industries, has
already won a glorious victory Evidences
of the decentralization and collapse of the
silver movement is accumulating on all sides,
aud with the close of the polls ON the even
ing of November Bird the greatest victory

Hcan party. So far AS the election OF
Mckinley and Hobart is concerned, all that
remains is the counting Of the votes. This is
as certain a, the sun will rise tomorrow
morning.
