what Constitutes Family MedicineY

what Constitutes a Family Medicine
preparation which is adapted to the
relief and cure of ailments to which mem
bers of household is most sub ect, and
which is not only alleged to this, but has
long and unfailingly proved its ability
to do it, assuredly deserves the title of a
reliable Family Medicine. Among time
honored preparations which experience
and the sanction of the medical profess
sion indicate as deserving of popular re-
gard and confidence,is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, medicine adapted to the
eradication of dyspepsia, constipation
and biliousness, the three most freq uent-
ly occurring ailments that vex mankind.
Derived from a botanic parentage, it is
efficient as we'll as pure and wholesome.
1t relieves nervous disquitude and inactiv-
ity of the kidneys, and oounteracts tend
ency to rheumatism. For renewing flag
ging strength and imparting appetite it
can be implicitly relied upon. Fever and
ague, rheumatism and debility are rem
edied bv it.

Since 1878 there have been nine cpl
denies of disentery in different parts of
the country in which Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy was used
with perfect success. Dysentery, when
epidemic, is almost as severe and danger
Gus as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the
best efforts of the most skilled physicians
have failed to check its ravages; this
remedy, however, has cured the most
malignant cases, both of children and
adults. and under the most trying condi-
tions, which proves it to be the best
medicine in the world for bowel com-
plants. For sale by Ireland's Pharmacy.

The Strawberry Crop.

The straw berry season virtually
closed with the picking of Monday,
though there may yet be shipments of
late varieties. When we say that il
has brought good many thousand
dollars into our community, we state
an important commercial fact felt i'll
the arteries of trade. There were one
or two days of glut and bad sales, but
on the whole prices were well sus-
tained and the season a satisfactory
one. When this has not been the case,
it has been where the patches were
poor from drought or inattention.
But few have realized full crops,
but have wound up the season
with more money in hand than
usual. The returns, less expenses
of shipment, have been 6 to
cents per quart, or picking and all ex-
penses paid, from to 5 cents per
quart. At three cents net they pay
better than any other crop. A hun
dred an acre is sure to gOodgrowers al
three cents the quart, clear of expenses
Ever farmer should have two or three
or more acres in strawberries, black
berries, raspberries, and other smad
fruits, we'll cared for; they will bring the
grower more clear money each yeal
than ten times as many acres in whea

near by, building the large and COM
Portable dwelling that has since been
his home.
He married in 1861 Miss Mary Carr,

A Reading correspondent asks the
Philadelphia Times whether it will
bolt against the nominees of the
Chicago Convention if they shall be
free silver advocates on a free silver
platform. The editor answers:
NO;"The Times never bolts. Politi-
cal parties may bolt from their integ-
rity, or from patriotic policy, or from
candidates who would command pub
lie respect. The Times will support
no candidate for President who is not
squarely and unqualifedly for honest
money, and by honest money it means
the gold standard that has been the
accepted standard of value in this
country from the day the Republic
was founded until now, and that is the
accepted standard of value in every
civilized government of the world.
The candidate who is afraid to say thai
he favors the only honest money stan
dard recognized by the world can have
no support from this journal, no mat
ter under what party name he may bC
presented" "

The question, where are the boys?
is one that belongs to ever generation,
but it is more pertinent at this time
than for many years past. No matter
what the church entertainment for
their pleasure or benefit, as for instance
''Children's Day exercises, there are
many of them who steadily keep away
acting towards them as good people
do towards pestilence. They avoid
all restraining influences, and manifest q
leaning wholly to the bad. To look
into our Sunday Schools it would seem
that the boys had almost vanished
from the community, but to go on the
streets at night or the base ball
grounds and hear their wild whOOps to
say nothing of the profanity, they ap-
pear to be very alive, and in consider
able numbers. Boys are expected to
be boys, but life and energy can, and
should be way above depravity. These
latter boys will grow to the condition
some day when they will want bust
ness positions, and will wake up to the
fact that a great mistake has been
made. No body wants an incorrigi-
BILE boy. But for the fact that the
most of them have fathers and mothers
the question of missionary work would
speedily engage the thought of Oul
good people.

The river and Harbor bill which
President Cleveland vetoed apprO-
pirated the enormous sum of S7G, 49,
$40. while the government is running
in debt daily because of the made
quacy of revenue to meet expenses.
Congress paid no respect to the veto,
in the senate only six voting to sustain
the President. It looks as if there
were graf faith' in a future Congress
enacting measures to increase our
revenue, or this large appropriation
would not have laar ressed. A com
parison show Fiftieth Con
gress appropriated S22, 300, 900 to rivers
and harbors; the Fifty-frst Congress,
that was noable for it's prOfigacy, ap
priated s25, 100, 900, and the last Con
gress appropriated $21, 200, 900. 1t il
show however that only S12, 561, $50 o
the amount appropriated would be

A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING.
Miss Emma Hudson Becomes the Wife of
Mr.. Armstrong COlvert.

Mr.. Armstrong Colvert, of Attica,
Indiana, was married to Miss Emma
Hudson, to-day, Wednesday, June 10, at
the home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. A. L. Hudson, on Mt. YER
non street.
The decorations were a feature of
the ceremony and were tastefully ar
ranged in most every conceivable
place. Asparagus, and ivy and palms
predominated. In the parlor bay win
dow, before which the bride and
groom were married, was a beautiful
bank of palms, begOnias, and aspara-
gus branches The effect was lovely.
On the right of this the mantel piece
was strewn from top to bottom with
clusters of field daisies and elder bios
SONS through which was wound rich
display of oak leaves.
Asparagus branches were festOOned
| everywhere: on the chandeliers, Ovel
the doorways, on pictures, about the
piano, and in the hallway it was twined
and intertwined throughout the beau
| tiful bannister, clear to the second
story. Through this was run sprays
| of ivy with elder blossoms. At the
| base were banked palms and evergreenS
| and June roses. This same beautiful
effect was carried throughout the sit
| ting room and dining room and made
up a scene of decorations that was
particularly pleasing to the eye.
At one o'clock the bride, hand
sOmely attired i'll white satin en- traine
with veil and carrying white roses
entered the parlOr on the arm of he
father who gave her away. She wa
accompanied by her maid of homo
Miss Lida Lord who wore white organ
die and carried pink roses. The groom
attended by the best man Mr.. Carwil
COlvert of Indiana, met the bride a
the alter where the ceremony was pei
formed by Rev. Mr.. Stengle pastor G
the Asbury Methodist Church. Tn
wedding march was impressively exc
cuted by Mrs. Charles B. Trewin
schOolmate of the bride. The present
were numerous and costly. Refresh
ments were served by Caterer Geo. II
Dick.
The bride and groom accOmpanie
by several friends left Clayton at fOu
o'clock for an extended trip thrOug
the North after which they will go
Indiana where they will make the
home.

Mad Dog Scare.

Smyrna had a mad dog scare Sun
day morning previous the hour for
Church services, which proved to be
more or less exciting to the residents
of Mt Vernon street. A dog affected
with rabbies came bOlting down Union
and turning the corner at Mt. Vernon
took the side walk. 1t was at a time
that many residents were sitting out
on their front porches watching the
children going to the M. E. Church to
take part in the Children's Day ser
vices Mr.. L. w. Counselman was
the first to notice the frOth-mOuth ed
animal but had not taken especial
notice till it rushed up and bit the
round of the chair on which he was
seated. Mr.. Counselman kicked the
animal away at several risks of being
bitten, but it jumped up and started pell
nell down Mt Vernon street. Mr..
COunselman began to apprehend some
danger, for the pavements were fairly
filled with Sunday School scholars,
who would hardly have had time to
escape if the dog should have made an
attack. As fortune would have it the
animal rushed on down the street to
the Methodist Church. At this point
there were several boys standing out
in front. The animal jumped at "Iz"
Meredith but a sharp kick sent the dog
away. At the far end of the par
sonage it ran itself into an electric
light pole. The dog keeled over and
had a genuine fit. By this time the
boys were after the animal and were
stOning it to death. The dog was
probably dead when John Wick came
up and put a few revolver bullets
through its head
Where the dog came from nobody
knew, but suffice it to be said that oul
Town Council should take some actor
toward exterminating these hal
starved, worthlesss ours which rul
our streets. They not only run tn,
danger of being affected with the rab
bies, but are more or less of a public
nuisance. On Pearl street there il
quite number of them and quite fre
quently the rest and peace of Herring
Hill' disturbed by their nightl
howls. Smyrna has entirely too man,
dogs and our Town Council would re
ceive the praise of the citizens if the
should enfore the "DOg Ordinance" t
the letter.

Farewell lines from one of the
Seniors.
Farewell dear school-house,
The home of my youth
love you, adore you
Indeed it's the truth.
Many laugh
I've had within thy walls.
Many a skip
I've enjoyed in thy halls.
But now comes the saddest
Day of the year,
The day when we leave
Our sweet memories here.
And yet we cannot
Stay here all way
I can almost
Hear you say.
So we will just give pull
To the dear old bell
And it will shout out
Farewell FAREWELL

one, though several patches were COM

tion of the losses referred to has been
about up to the average. Though, some
who fail to give their patches the

Leaving Mr.. Addicks out of the ques-

six went and decided not to make mar
tyrs of themselves but ask permission
of the Mayor to hold an open air meet

This was promptly granted because ii
