An Old Settler.

When the rheumatism first pre-
empts certain tracts of your anat-
omy it may be ousted easily, but
when it becomes an old settler it is
pretty hard to bulge. Remember
this when you experience the first
twinges of this obstinate and agon-
izing disease, and attack it with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t will
then "make tracks," and possibly
leave you unmolested and in peace
able possession of your own comfort
in the future. Peril always attends
rheumatism, if it become chronic,
on account of its tendency to at
tack the heart. Usually it is COM
plicated with kidney trouble. Ger
tain it is that the kidneys, when
aroused by the Bitters, will elimi-
nate impurities which give rise to
rheumatism and dropsy, In inclem-
ent or wet conditions Of the wealth
er, the Bitters, taken in advance,
will often avert rheumatic trouble.
Use this genial family medicine for
dyspepsia, biliousness, headache
and constipation.

The observation OF Memorial
Day. as arranged by Custer Post.
g. A. X. seems to have met with
some criticism in regard to one
of its features. It's q matter Of
regret that any one should, at
this advanced day, let anything
blind him to the sublime spectacle
OF the old confederate veterans
marching with the boys in blue,
and enjoying with them q friend
~ intercourse that is bound TO
wipe out all sectional lines. We
venture to believe that we know
the kind Of material Of which
Custer Post is made up. These
men believe, and rightly, too,
that they battled for the most
glorious and righteous cause
known to history. Now the con.
tiict is over, and no bitterness
fingers in their hearts against
their fallen foes. Their generous
impulses cause them to ardently
admire the Confederate veteran
who is as loyal a citizen as he
was q brave and gallant soldier.
last week we said, 1.-THE Federal
and Confederate are honored
alike by patriotic people, This
could not be justly construed to
mean anything else but a tribute
to the personal bravery OF both,
and certainly does not involve
the issues over which they
fought. The Confederate cause
was eternally wrong and ought
to be forgotten. The Union
cause was a Heaven. born cause
and should and will survive
throughout the ages. Yet the
Union soldier rs the last man lo
deny to the people Of Dixie Land

Of their fallen and heroic dead;

broad and generous impulses Of
his noble nature, that he is gladly
