When wear begins to exceed repair in
your body, you are going to fall sick.
The sig.s of it are loss of flesh, paleness,
weakness, nervousness, ETC. The repair
needed is food. You think that you
eat enough, and yet you feel that you
wear out more tissue, energy, nerve-force,
than your food makes for you. The
difficulty is that you don't digest enough.
Aud this is so serious, it is worth sitting
down seriously to think about. If you
can't digest what you eat, take a few
doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial. The
effect of it will be to increase your
strength and make you feel stronger.
You won't fall sick. Proof that it is in
control of your repair apparatus. It's
easy enough to test this for yourself.
Take few bottles of Shaker Digestive
Cordial.
Sold by druggists at 10 cents to $I.oo
per bottle.

ed the o. A. c. nine, the score standing
20 to Is. In the first inning Albany
made II runs and the Farmers, 7. Then
the teams settled down to business; Al

The principal action of the county
court at its session this week was to re-
duce the assessment of M. S. Woodcock
on AIS shares of National Bank stock.
The county board of equalization raised
the assessment from $50 to SO per share,
and Mr.. Woodcock presented petition
at the April term asking for reduction
of his assessment but it was rejected. He
however argued his claims more efectu-
ally this week and the required reduction
was made. Jndge Hufford. having acted
once on the question, and having also
been member of the equalization board
which raised the assessment, refused to
act further in the matter and the action
above referred to was taken by Commits
| sioners Buchanan and Chambers. Why
national bank stock, paying eight and
ten per cent dividends, should only be
assessed at so cents on the dollar, while
noney, notes and accounts are assessed
at 100 cents Oh the dollar, is not made
plain by the courts order. The contract
for building bridge across the Luckia-
mute was awarded to Tillitson & Burgett
for $40 and w. S. Hufford was instructed

court to require the receiver of the o. D.
