compound is best known from the
mouths of men and women whom
it has made well-they are in every
city, town and village in the country.
No one can pass the newspaper
bulletins without being reminded by
how slight a thread the best of men
hold on to life. The slight ups and
downs in health from which people
recover make them forget that there
is a limit to the body's elasticity and
endurance. The habitually exhaust
ed nervous system at last loses its
power of recovery and offers no re-
sistance to disease.
prevent disease, is the watch
word OF the best medical thought of
today. Careful men and women do
Lot wait until they are fiat on their
backs as people once did. The more
intelligent part Of every community
Las found out the inestimable bene-
Fl to be derived from Paine's celery
compound, when one is WORKOUT,
nerVe-tired and 'Eout-of sorts"
The tile ills, the beginning of
neuralgia and rheumatism, the all
gone and tired feelings show the
immediate need Of purifying the
blood and refreshing the nerves.
The direct and energetic way Paine's
celery compound overcomes sick and
nervous headaches, dyspepsia and
heart troubles, rs it does all other
nervous disorders, las compelled
tne admiration Of toe medical world
ifrom the start.
; Headaches, rheumatism, neural
gla, l~ifeless feelings, aud debility AN
not persist when irtelligently met
and corrected by this greatest of
nerve and brain strengtheners. No
remedy ever kept the confidence of
SO large a body of inquiring men and
women. Try it.

TIT. OLIVE LETTER
4 Condensed Chrofric1ing Of the
Events that Transpire III
That Town and
Section.

Mr.. +. F. Jordan had the mis-
fortune 10 have a runaway last
Friday evening, in a run Of about
half mile. MIR. Jordan succeeded
in rolling out Of the wagon not
any too quickly, for it was soon a
wreck. At aud around the wreck,
Mr.. Jordan was looking pale and
seemed TO be out OF wind. and
huge drops Of sweat were drop
ping from the end Of his nose.
He noticed that he was closely
observed and, with a kind of
~sickening smile, remarked Its
mighty hot work pulling on them
lines" Fortunately no bones were
broken. Sloan's iininent fixed
him SO he could get about the
next day, but he couldn't stay
long IN the same place.
MIR. j. D. Aaron had the mis-
fortune to have g serious acct
dent last Wednesday evening. His
horse became frightened while
his wagon was being loaded from
q freight on the.side track ,and
in trying to hold him by the
check Of. the bride, he was vic
lentiy thrown against a box car
by the horses powerful Efforts to
cross the track between two cars
MIR. Aaron's right shoulder was
dislocated aud fearfully bruised.
The shafts of the wagon we're
torn off, and the horse freeing
himself from the wagor, with one
shaft and the singletree still
banging TO him, took down East
and West Centre street side walk
with a movement that thoroughly
cleared the walk. The horse es-
capped any serious damage.
1t would have been fun for you
that have been mixed up with these
runaways around lIt. Olive, to
have been about the crossing Of
the gravel track this side of the
river last Tuesday evening Il g
10Th. My horse became frigh-
tened and I:dropped my umbrella,
when ] got down to get it the
horse Jumped and jerked me down.
You would have thought me a
sleigh from the way ] was skiming
over the grass. This mode of travel
Didn't suit my taste, SO | let go
and ne went. sThe corn wasn't gath
cred, but that horse moved some
Of it, and he didn't IA any Of it
either. After running about two
or three miles he rounded up near
the beginning and locked the
wheels with a big pine thar held
him fast until l could regain the
lines. Luckily there was 10 damage
done.
