tons of weather that lumberman is

A MATTER OF OPINION.

A gentleman was greatly surprised
and pleased the other day at the reply
a lady gave to the question: "Do
you plant..Vick's Seeds" Her answer
was: III always plant Vick's seeds in
the front yard, but We get cheap seeds
in the back yard, which l know is a
mistake"
1t pays to plant good seeds, aud We
advise our friends who are thinking
of doing anything in this line to send
10 cents for Vick's Floral Guide for
1896. This amount may be deducted
from the first order. James Vick's
Sons, Rochester, N. Y, are the pio-
neers in this line.

In recent editorial the Salem,
Oregon, Independent says: "Time
and agaia have we seen Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy tried and never with
out the most satisfactory results.
Whenever we see person afflicted
with hoarseness, with cough or cold,
we invariably advise them to get
ChamberIain's Cough Remedy; aud
when they do, they never regret il.
1t always does the work, and does il
WELL" For sale at J. S. Guonard's

AS we go to press we understand
there is a movement on foot to build a
plank road through Grants canal bot
tom from the corner of HIPS store to
some point near Judge F. F. Montgom-
ery's residence. Whoever originated
the movement should get the thanks of
the town people and surrounding coun-
try, who have to get their freight at the
Providence landing. As it is now, the
road to the landing is perfectly impass-
able, and it is almost impossible to get
to and from it with a wagon without
Sailing. 1t is serious impeachment to
business and 10 travel. Hacks find it
almost impossible TO take passengers to
the boats, and one night this week one
of them broke down in the deep mud,
and the passengers, consisting of sew
eral ladies and gentlemen, had to walk
to town through the mud the best they
could. A plank road through Grants
Canal bottom would remedy all this.
The distance cannot be over $50 yards
and it would not cost very much.
When it is taken into consideration that
it would be a great benefit to the town
that merchants could haul their freight
easily, and that people living below
town and around the lake would also
be benefited, 1t would be nothing but
right for the town authorities and the
Police Jury to contribute to or build
the road. 1t is the best move made in
town this year. SO let us all pull togeth.
er and build the road, and when we
enjoy its advantages once, we will
wonder how We got along without 1t SC
long.

Among the fruit aud flower novel;
ties which 1896 brings US, we notice
that the enterprising and reliable firm
of James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. T.,
are already calling attention TO three,
which seem 10 have won great favor
where known. They are the DOUBLE
SWEET PEA, the only one in the
world true TO name, "Bride of Mag
ara" the early LEADER TOMATO"
the earliest of all the early tomato
family and sure 10 become a great
favorite, and the alrt ady famous black
berry, the "RATHBUN,"
From the praise and compliments
given SO abundantly to the "Bride of
Niagara" this sweet pea must be
more than charming and from the
encomiums lavished on both the new
tomato aud this new blackberry, it is
pretty certain no garden desiring to
have the first and best Of everything,
can be without these three new corners.
BY the way, readers, are any OF you
so far behind the times as not TO know
"VICK's FLORAL GUIDE" II any of
you have never seen it, send 10 cents
TO this firm at Rochester, N. Y, and
get copy. You can deduct this from
the first order for seeds aud the pleas
ure and information their Guide will
give you will certainly induce YOU TO
keep up the acquaintance.

Fox, Judge Knox and George Steffee went

he had no doubt but that oil would be
found in Clarion county. Whereupon Mr..
Steffee made the remark that he would
agree 20 drink all the oil the county ever
produced. When Clarion county vas at
