We print the county levy in this
issue of the MESSENGER. The tax
rate is the same as that of last year,
s1.00 on the $4,000. In the levy is
included $4,000 to pay the cost of the
new assessment. Had il not been for
this unusual expense and the heavy
costs of the Davis cutting case, the tax
rate would have been considerably less.
In the levy everything is made as clear
as possible and if there is anything you
do not understand and wish to inquire
into, the books of the Commissioners
are open for your inspection, and DIR.
Bishop will take pleasure in giving
you any information you desire.

with an uncommonly severe attack of
diarrhoea, Mr.. w. b. Guinnip, of
Atco, Pa, received through the mail a
sample bottle of Chamberlain Collie,

most effective remedies | ever used. 1t
gave me almost immediate relief. 1t
has no superior and think no equal.
No bad effects follow the use of this
remedy. 1t is pleasant TO take when
reduced with water and sweetened.
Children like it. II never fails. 1t is
the most perfect remedy ever produced
for bowel complaints" For sale at
