JUST
ONE THING


Is cured by DR.. Bells Pine
Tar Honey. It cures that every time.
That one thing is inflammation Of the
mucous membranes Of the lungs,
bronchial tubes and throat, coughs,
colds, chest troubles, Group, catarrh of
the head or throat, cold in the head,
Ia grippe, asthma, bronchitis, whoop-
ing cough, sore throat, loss of voice or
hoarseness are all due to Inflammation
of the mucous membranes. DR.. Bells
Pine Tar Honey is a quick, sure and
safe cure for this particular class of
complaints. IL is not good for other
complaints. 1t is pleasant to take,
Children like it and will ask for it. 1t
is harmless. 1t is made from pine, tar
and honey. Old folks know that these
are good, harmless medicines. In DR..
Bells Pine Tar Honey they are COM
bined by new and scientific methods
with vegetablepl plants, giving them re-
markable medicinal value. DR.. Bells
Pine Tar Houey will not cure eonsump-
ton. 1t will ward it off in its incipiency
and give relief and comfort in its later
stages. There isn't another cough
remedy on the market that does not
claim to cure consumption. Such o
claim is a ridiculous falsehood, Put
no dependence in remedies that need &
lie to sell them. Dr. Bells Pine Tan
Honey is put up in CSC, SOC. and 81
bottles. If the druggist does not keel
it, it will be sent upon receipt of price
by the Z. %. Sutherland Medicine Co.,
sole manufacturers, Fountain Park,
Paducah, Ky. There is no other remedy
"oust as good.7 When 9 druggist say
| is he is thinking Of his profits and no
of your welfare, IT is A HOUSE,
HOLD NECESSITY.

OF course every man has right to
have and express an opinion upon sub
iects before the public, and yet opinions
may be expressed in such way as to
make man appear to be gloating over
the misfortune of something that he
opposes, which causes them to strike
most people as being in bad taste, or
even worse. To the latter class belong
tho publicly expressed opinion of Mr..
Preston, director of the United States
mint, on the decline in the price of sill
YER. With the usual gall of the know
it-all Mr.. Preston tells the public not
only that he knew the decline in price
was coming, but that he knows the de-
cline is going to keep on until the price
gets down to forty cents an ounce. The
belief is irresistible that Mr.. Preston's
talk represents his wishes rather than
his knowledge on the subject.

4 FEW WORDS OF CONSOLATION.

To those of our friends who, in the

protection through high tariff by voting |
for Mckinley; who claimed that pros
perity was only twenty-four hours be-
hind the 4th of March, and that the
commodities of lifewould be cheaper,
we submit the following as a sample OF
the good times they helped to bring
about. With few exceptions the articles
enumerated are used by poorer classes
of our people who are common laborers
and have and raise nothing that can be
benefited by high tariff legislation, aud
are forced to pay an increased price for
the necessaries of life, while their wages
remain the same. Here is the evidence
