RRCovERED..-Mr. Charles GrOf, who has
been ill at bis home in this Place has now
fully recovered and is out.
1t is said that great dissatisfaction exists
among the farmers in Jefferson and Buckeyes
town districts, this county, who claim that
their lands have been assessed at too high
figure. The farmers of Buckeystown district
held largely attended meeting in Buckeyes
town last Friday, and after discussion of
the proper valuation to be placed upon lands
adopted the following:
"Resolved, That the assessors of Frederick
county be urged to have uniformity of yalu
alton in the different districts of Frederick
county; that while there can be no control OF
the assessments in other counties ofthe State
yet in justice to the people in our own coun.
ty there should be the fullest and most per.
feet understanding among the assessors, SO
that the lands of the same grade be not diff:
crently valued in different districts of the
county, Valley Register.
In recent letter to the manufacturers Mr..
w. F. Benjamin, editor of the Spectator,
Rushford, N. Y. says: ut may be pleas.
ure to you to know the high esteem in which
Chamberlain's medicines are held by the poo
pie of our state, where they must be best
known. An aunt Of mine. who resides at
Dexter, Iowa, WAS about to visit me few
years since, and before leaving home wrote
me, asking If they were sold here, stating if
they were not she would bring a quantity
with her, as she did not like to be without
them" The medicines referred to are Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, famous for its cures
of colds and Group; Chamberlains Pain Balm
for rheumatism, lame back, pains IN the side
and chest and Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoca Remedy for bowel complaints.
These medicines have been in constant use
in Iowa for almost quarter Of century.
The people have learned that they are artc
les of great worth and merit, and uneoualed
by any other. They are for sale here by DR..
