MAPLE MOUNT.

MAPLE MOUNT, July live people
of Goodwin are elated over the idea of
having new school building erected
right away. Mr.. w, L. Lucas has con-
tracted to do the work, and prepare
tions are being made in earnest, and we
hone to have good school in the near
future, The building will be erected
near Goodwin on lot donated by a. j.
TimmOns.
The WELD of wheat so far is very good,
and we hear of a number of crops that
have not been threshed yet. Wheat
shipments from Goodwin have been good,
and we hear some have had orders to
hold up. Don't know the cause, unless
enough has been received at the mills.
A sad accident occurred near Mr.. Il.
q. Hughes last week. A little orphan
child, the nephew of Messrs. w ess and
Marsh Roberts, fell from load ed wag-
on of wheat while attempting to put on
breaks, and the wagon wheel passed
over his body, breaking four ribs. For
tunately he was not dangerously hurt,
and is getting along very nicely at
present.
day was a very unexpected and sad one,
and her bereaved husband and two
children have the sympathy of many
sorrowing friends.
The erection of new railroad bridge
across Duck River at Goodwin is in pro-
gress, and we hope the bridge at God
win which spans the railroad will soon
capture the attention OfthOse interested

Cupid breaks his bow at the sight of a
face full of pimples. Hollow cheeks, sun
ken eyes, and sallow complexion will
defy his best intentions. Beauty is
more than skin deep. The skin is mere
ly the surface on which is written in
plain characters the condition of the
body. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is good for the complexion be-
cause it makes the whole body healthy
because it clears and purifies the
blood, makes the digestion strong aud
clears out impurities of all kinds. By
increasing the ability to assimilate nu-
tritious food, and by the infusion of its
own ingredients it enriches the blood
and so makes solid, healthy flesh.
1t cures diseases of the lungs, liver,
stomach, bowels, skin and scalp, simply
because all these diseases spring from
the same cause-a diSordered digestion
and consequent impure blood.

ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
orally needed when the languid, eX-
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and Alternative is felt. A
prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fevers. No medicine will act more
surely in counteracting and freeing the
ache, indigestion, consti patton, dizzi-
ness yield to Electric Bitters. SOC and

There is more Catarrh in this section of

supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
prescribed local remedies,an by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurabe. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

should study what causes your weak
ness. 1t is practically loss of food. But
YOU eat three meals day, and all you
can eat at time. Yes, but do you di-
gest it? Food undigested is not food. 1t
is not nourishment. 1t doesn't create
strength. To digest your food take Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial at meals. After a
while YOU will digest your food without
it. Then you will get well, and strong
and healthy. Shaker Digestive Cordial
cures indigestion and al its symptoms,
such as nausea, headache, eructations,
pain i'm the stomach, giddiness, loss of

the novel sight. Finally the wind gave an
extra Rirt and one Of the mammoth panes
went down before il shattered into frag.

by the aid Of rope and IL withstood the pres

the sash was not strong enough for such an At
