CHIMP ITEMS

Correspondence of the Ledger,
CHAMP, Mo-, May 3.-The Chamu
correspondent is sorry, indeed, to
learn of the indignation of the Rush
Hill ladies at what was in the items OF
last week. We said they weren't in it,
and we are gladto hear from them that
they ''weren't in it," II we mistake not.
1t was the Rush Hill correspondent
who spoke some weeks ago of having
an extra railroad built to the city to
bring the people from other towns to
witness the ''haIr pulling" (using the
words of the writer. Now If we have
been m~isinformed, we ask a thousand
pardons, for we don't like to get out
with the ladies; they are a real
necessity in this grand old world of
ours, especially SO aancient" a class,
who can remember when jackson was
PRESIDENT. Ahem! and when the good
little boy cut down his fathers cherry
tree. l think he merely hacked it,
did he not? (though 1 suppose it is
down ere this.) Will that lady please
accept sincere thanks for her kind
invitation to visit Rush Hill, and ac-
cept from us an invitation to O
pany Joseph's brethren when thew
come up to Egypt Champ after corn,
and we will put the silver smue, in
her sack.
Farmers are very busy planting
corn and there will be a large acreage
put in this year. Not SO much, how
ever, as last year, for there is quite q
good lot still on hand, waiting for that
confidence we have been hearing go
much about; guess it will come in the
air ship.

A prominent western newspaper
recommends fax seed tea as an ex-
cellent remedy for whooping cough.
1t may be good but it is not to be COM
pared with Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. This preparation will allay
the violent fits of coughing and make
them less frequent and less YER 1t
also liquefies the tough mucus, max
ing it easier to expectorate. Com
plete recovery is much quicker, too,
when this remedy is given. There is
no danger in giving it to- small child
rem, as it is a pleasant syrup and con-
tains nothing injurious. For sale at
25 and so cents per bottle by g. A.
Buckner, Druggist.
