Mr.. Jody Kirby is having his
bathing pool put in prime order for
the coming season. He has had it
drained off and the bottom cleaned
and gravelled and the walls plank
ed. Besides this he has put up a
long row of bath rooms, 25 IN num-
Der, each room is provided with
door and window and rack for cloth
ing. When the heated season sets
in the pool will be much sought for
and the ladies and gentlemen will
spend many happy hours in splash
ing around in the waves. If Mr.
Kirby will only provide means to
get the people out and away from
there every half hour during the
day and night and put up a couple
of arc lights there he will make big
money out of the enterprise.

We have another patent medicine
man in town. We do not know
what the last arrival will offer,
whether liver pads or medicine
to take out the wheels in the
heads" of those who dose them
selves on any and every kind of
medicine that is offered them by
these street vendors. Our advise
to the afflicted, is to goto regular
practlcing physician, have him
diagnose your case and prescribe,
and not take a patent stuff you
know not what it contains or who
is giving it to you. There are more
men who die annually; hurried to
their grave by the use of patent
medicine than any other agency.
