buying and taking some medicine of a
similar appearance or taste, believing it TO
be Simmons Liver Regulator We warn
YOU that unless the word Regulator is on
the package or bottle, that it is not Simmons
Liver Regulator. No one else makes. or
ever has made Simmons Liver Regulator, or
anything called Simmons Liver Regulator,
but J. h. Zellln & Co. and no medicine made
bv anyone else is the same. Eve alone can

other medicines represented as the same do
not help you as you are led to expect they
will Bear this fact well IN mind, ifyou have
been in the habit of using medicine which
YOU supposed to be Simmons Liver Regula-
Tor, because the name was somewhat ike
it, and the package did not have the word
Regulator on 1t, you have been imposed
upon and have not been taking Simmons

Stopped His Check.

Ben. ID. Spears, the well-knOwn
NichoIasville liveryman, was over
in Richmond the other day and
struck the horse market, and the
complications arising from $50
trade may reach the Court of APP
peals and make a test case for bank
ing circles.
1t was this way" said Mr.. Spears
to the Nicholasville Democrat: Il
bought horse from a man named
Luther Sanders for $50, warranted to
be sound. L wrote my check that
way. When the horse got here and
cooled off he was found to be I'M
sound. ! bought him when he was
heated up. | sent the horse back to
Madison by my clerk, Theo. Duncan,
who rendered him to Sanders, but
Sanders gave Duncan the laugh. He
had already collected the money on
the check at Richmond bank. /
stopped the payment of the check
when it was sent here for collection
and my check was then protested by
the Richmond bank and there the
case rests. | have the horse and am
charging up the feed bill. The bank
must collect the money from San
ders and if he is not responsible it is
their loss"
1t looks that way, concludes the
Democrat, for since then the Rich
mOnd bank has made concessions.
They sent Spears word that if he
would pay the face of the check they
would deduct the protest fees.

The Walls Have Ears.

1t WAS radiant night in June, and as
they walked slowly up the rose-lit path
from the quaint little gate by the road,
he bent his head lower and touched her
cheek with his lips.
She looked up at him in surprise.
Perhaps he had been hasty; perhaps
it was not his right to touch the shrine
OF his worship; perhaps the moon had
never seen sight Ike that; perhaps the
fragrance of rose and hnneysuckle had
never fallen on the air of June that low
ers breathe; perhaps she did not know
the measure of his heart beats perhaps
perhaps-oh, word uncertain, filled with
the mystery OF man and woman.
His eyes met hers, tremulous with
emotion unspoken, and they novel 81
lently toward the house with his arm
about her shoulders, as comrades walk.
"You are the most beautiful woman

fell to the earth with dull thud.

A Frightiul Experience.
Shelby Sentinel

A letter received from Mr.. F. c. Ber-
noudy by his brother, few days ago,
gives the details of a narrow escape from
Death Mr.. Bernoudy had in an avalanche
in the mountains OF Colorado, January
18th. Part Of the letter is as follows:
"l esterday II went through a very
thrilling and terrible experience, luckily
escaping with my life. While my work
ing mates and myself, four in all, were
coming to dinner at noon, We were all
swept down the mountain by an ava
lanche. The boys were taken a short
distance, not receiving the full force of
the avalanche but only the edge, while
| was taken up like feather and hurled ,
until reached the bottom of the noun
tain some six or seven hundred feet be-
low. 1t was a miracle that l was not
left under, instead Of on top Of the snow.
Once the snow stopped for second or
two and l recollect thinking it was all
over. / lay there as in vice with my
head down and my feet up, not able to
move a finger. l thought that was
about to experience death by sufiocation
and when the thought came over me,
tried to move, but it was useless for /
was held there as if had had moulten
lead run around me. When | had about
ceased to try and struggle, l again felt
the snow moving and before l knew it
was churned to and fro, up and down,
and landed with my head and one arm
above the snow. My companions were
soon down and ON their strong arms
was borne back to our cabin. l tell you
it was a dreadful experience. For three
or four hundred feet l was hauled over
an almost perpendicular cliff, and it was
there where my bruises were sustained,
pounding against the rocks
"Outside OF lame back and very
sore side am all right and will be on my
feet in a few DAVIS"

The First National Bank of Hunting
ton, Indiana, has lady cashier, Mrs.
Sarah Frances Dick, aud lady director,
Mrs. Frederick Drover, and is probably
the only bank in the country bearing
such distinction. Mrs. Dick is also di-
rector in the institution. Mrs. Dick was
appointed assistant cashier in 1873. She
was then Miss Sarah F. McGrew, and
her father was cashier of the bank. She
served in that capacity until 1881, when
the bank was recognized. Mr.. Mc6rew
then became president, and his daugh-
ter was appointed cashier, and also
elected director. In 1873 she was
married to julius Dick. one of the most
prominent merchants of Huntington Ev-
ersince 1881 Mrs. Dick has been cashier oil
the bank, and her work in that capacity
has been unquestionably accurate and
able.

The recent severe cold weather has
excited the substantial sympathy of
some Of our charitably inclined citizens,
whilst those who were unable to extend
the aid their hearts prompted to the
needy and suffering may draw some con-
ISOLATION from this bit of wisdom from a
negro. who wrote from Nicholasville last
week to the Standard. ''the official organ
of the colored State League, of Ky" 1t
points moral and adorns a tale, and
white and black should read and learn,
that Indulgence and suffering are often
the result OF courses of our own crea-
ton:
The mercury this morning is some
where in the neighborhood of FREQ"
and the fire by which l am sitting con-
sists OF three corn cobs and a lump of
coal about the size of Grover Cleveland's
foreign policy, therefore l am in 10 hui
NOR 60 write. The severe weather seems
to have come to the poor as a terrible
aflliction. If this was the first time that
intense suffring resulted from such bit
ter cold blast l would have a great deal
more sympathy for some who suffer. But
there are numbers of families who are
now suffering that could have been bet
ter prepared for the winter. Adversely
is a great educator; it either makes or
breaks man. The greatest generals in
history lost the first battles, but they
learned by the adversely, and became the
most succe ssful commanders; but the
people who spend their money on ex-
cursions and picnics during the summer
months. and suffer for food and fuel in
the winter months don't seem to learn
anything 1t is the same old story ev-
ery winter"

SAM JONES COMING.

For almost twelve months parties
have been endeavOring to secure
Sam. p. Jones to deliver a humorous
lecture in Richmond, but he has
been booked ahead and not date
could be secured. At last, however,
he has one open date, Monday, Feb
ruary 10Th, when he will lecture in
this city at the Court House and av-
cry body in the county should hear
him as it may be the last OppOrtu-
nifty.
Rev. Sam Jones is one of the most
remarkable men this century has
produced. He is unique, he stands
alone as one of a class, he occupies a
sphere not occupied by any other;
he has thousands of imitators but
none approach the original. For
fourteen years he has interested the
American people and had power over
them which no ordinary man pos
sesses. No evangelist has enjoyed
greater sway over the people and
thousands date the hour of their
conversion from "Sam Jones' Meet
ing" He has enemies, to be sure !;
they curse him, then go and hear
him speak, and laugh with his
friends.
AS a platform speaker he ranks
among the best, the Southern Ly-
ceum Bureau, of Louisville, which
manages his lecture business, always
has on hands from 80 to 100 applica-
tons for dates which they cannot
fill because he is booked up" no
dates open.
The people of Richmond have a
treat in store on Monday, February
18th, when he will lecture here.

Tobacco, or no Tobacco.

Our tobacco growers of the past few
years have abundant experience, but are
absolutely without the essential elements
of confidence and profit. Some have
consigned their crops to the sharks who
manipulate the market, and been re-
quested to make good, small deficits in
favor OF the warehouse men after divid-
ing out the jays shipments. A few
growers who scented disaster last sum-
mer and abandoned the growing crops
have never regretted their apparent neg
Ijgerce and prodigal Indifference, Others
have consigned large portions of clean,
bright stock to the manure heaps, con-
WINGED Of its value as a fertilizer, and
equally certain that to shipit in the face
of recent experiences would be deliher-
ate robbery OF an already depleted ex-
cheauer as we'll as further incentive to
robbers. Several tobacco barns were
built by farmers last year to house their
first crops. but it is improbable that a
material advance of prices about time
for sowing plant beds will deIude many
in to another loss OF labors money, time,
confidence and religiOn.-Stanford Jour

John r. McLean'S
Great Newspaper.

Without single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer !;
or a more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John R. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour-
mails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
so cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition Of over
200, 900 new subscribers the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked Tor the secret OF such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers :
The Enquirer has no opinions to forte
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. By
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
1t incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-.
terprise in minor matters as well as
those of greater magnitude.
