SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to q
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried 1t
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for soc or
S1.00 per bottle at f. Kalteyer & Sons
drug store. 2

laboring his slow but patient horse in

his wares at, intervals, as: "Herrin'.
herrin', fresh herrin'!" A tender-heart-

horse, called out, sternly, from an upper
window: Have you no mercy?" "No.

THE BANNER or
DEATH.

t0c Od0ueI OF QedIu. ~
Is the simplest thing in the world to gain
and keep health, II men and women only
will. For that reason It Is almost incredi-
bic that men and women viii continue to
neglect their health even after they must
realize that they are marching under the
banner of death.
The great majority of diseases have their
inception in indigestion, biliousness and
impure blood. Among these diseases are
deadly consumption, nerve-racking, brain
wrecking nervous prostration and exhaus-
breeding neuralgia emaciating malaria and
all manner of dishguring blood and skin
diseases. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is a cure for all these diseases, IL
taken in ANYTHING like reasonable time. 1t
is not a cure all, but cures the diseases men,
toned for the reason that they are caused
and aggravated by the same disorders. 1t
makes the appetite keen, the digestion per.
feet, the liver active, the blood pure and
builds firm flesh and healthy nerve fiber
Don't be wheedled by a penny-grabbing
"Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cured

Cal. Boils, on after another, would break out
on my arms, and were very painful i have
tried the Loudly praised sarsaparillas without
any benefit whatever, and not until took the
Discovery did get well. That was two years
ago, and have not had boil or sore OF any
kind since"

Three Old Men

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 Maine has just lost one grand old man in the person of Neal Dow, the pioneer in the prohibition movement. But it has another one still. This is James W. Bradbury who went to the United States senate just fifty years ago, and served one term in that body. MT. Bradbury is the oldest ex-member of congress in years, being about 95, but the distinction for priority of service in congress belongs to Richard W. Thompson, of Indiana, who entered the house in 1S41, six years before Brad bury's congressional career began, but his service in the aggregate, like that of Bradbury, has been short. MT. Thompson's age is SS.

MARION MATTERS.
Cotton Crop Being Rapidly Gathered = Corn
 Almost Failure.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Special b The Age-Herald.
 Marion Oct. 5.-In this section of the state almost the entire crop of cotton on the uplands has been gathered, and of the bottoms from one-half ito three fourths. In spite of the low price the selling is rapid.
 The corn crop in this county is the worst failure for many years. Many farmers will be compelled to begin buy ing corn the first of January and very few will have enough to hold out until another crop is made.
 On account of the dry season there is no crab grass hay but the crop of psa- vine hay is good and is being saved in excellent condition.
 All the Marion schools are well at- tended and are in a f1ourishing condi- ton, notwithstanding the low price of cotton, and the quarantine restrictions have prevented a number of students from reaching here.
 Judson institute opened last week un- der the most favorable auspices. The prospects are brighter than ever before in its history.
 There is absolutely no politics here now, but when the toesin sounds Perry county will be there.
