Catarrh Means Danger,

Because ii unchecked it may lead direct
~ to consumption. Catarrh is caused
by impure blood. This fact is fully
established. Therefore, it is useless to
try to cure catarrh by outward appli-

cure catarrh is to purify the blood.

purifier, cures catarrh by it power to

A Family Reunion.

A family reunion in honor of the 74th
pirthday OF Mr.. John Austin was given
at his residence last Thursday eveninx
The affair was gotten up in the shane of
asurprise and wasa splendid success in
every way He was Unloading bav
while the guests were assembling and
everything was arranged without his
knowledge 80 he wac agreeably surprised
ON coming into the house covered with
hayseeds. He was soon made aware Of
the cause OF the surprise After peitak
ing OF the bounteous repast prepared By
the relatives and friends, singing, speech
making and music was in order. Mr..
George Austin was master OF ceremonies
and made neat little speech. Each
member OF the company was requested
to contribute something for the enter
tainment and amusement OF the
assembl ed guests. Mrs, Harriet Jacobs
made few appropriate remarks and
referred with pride to the unity and
good will OF each member OF 40 large a
family. John Brown sang a song in the
Scotch dialect which was little under
stood but we'll received. Abe Gudmun-
sen tangled song in the Danish
language which was not comprehended
but much enjoyed just the same Each
one took their little part to the best of
their ability. That which was not
instructive was amusing 80 nothing was
lost. Mr.. Austin made few remarks,
saying that while he was not in favor
OF surprises in general he was
much in favor OF family reunions
and that there should be more OF them
in every family as they had a tendency
to strengthen the bonds OF love and
union that should exist in every family.
There were OF Mr. Austin's children
present besides quite number OF
grand children and sons and daughters
in-law. The party broke up at a late
2 hour all wishing linn many happy re-
turns OF the day and promised to meet
again on March 20, to celebrate the
10th birthday and 5oth wedding day
the late Mrs. Austin.
