PUCK.

We had some summer weather last
week. But since we have had a few
cold days again. 1t takes long time
for winter to get completely gone. The
cold nights and winds arc very rough
on crops. Corn and cotton are trying
to come up, but it is hard work. That
which Is up can't do anything and some
of it looks like dying. Some farmers
were getting fearful of the frost killing
the cotton. But think it is out Cl dan
ger now. The farmers put in good
weeks work last week. They had
everything moving. There is still
some corn to be planted.
Miss Daisy Cannon vacated her school
at Hartford last Tuesday and is now at

was on the allabsorbing topic the war,
and that in the wisdom of God the
American Government was the instru-
mcrt in His hands to accomplish the
work Io had them to do.

roller mill in this section, and | can
say positively that Mr.. John Cook will
have one in operation for grinding this
years crop of wheat, which now prom
lses to be IL good one. The only thing
that Is unsatisfactory about it is that
MI Cook did not erect his mill in town
where he could have had shipping fa-
cilitics. We had much rather bnye II

good business where he Is, and we

Read what some noted physicians have to saw

The waters Of the Lithia Springs
are odorless, free from color, with a
pleasant saliney taste, rather palat
able When taken in considerable
quantity, they do not nauseate, purge,
or produce any feeling of discom-
fort find from the analysis of tho
waters, they contain Chloride Sodium,
Carb. Potash, Carb Soda, Carb.
Lithia, Carb. Iron and Sulphate
Magnesia. These waters act directly
upon the mucous coating of the
stomach and alimentary canal, they
are powerfully Alternative and tonic.
They are everything to infamed or
irritated surfaces. They act upon
the blood, changing it from acid to
alkaline. In Indigestion, Catarrh of
Stomach and Gastrelgia, supple
mented with proper diet, they are
a certain cure. The action upon the
kidneys is marked. The Sodium,
Potash, Soda, Lithia, arc tho best
solvents of uric acid, all calculi of an

confident that the profession will find
it very useful in cases where this

DAUGHTERS OF AMERICA.

Ring out, ye bells, your sweetest chimes,
Sing, all ye poets, dulcet rhymes;
Shout loud, We crowds, In strongest praise;
Shine out, fair sun, In softest rays,
And dance ye ripping waters.
For Freedoms sons will sing song,
That In q chorus, high ARMSTRONG,
Shall sounding ring, from sea TO sea,
Whose theme OF harmony shall be,
Americas true daughters.
Oh! they are loyal, brave and true,
And fair the red, and white, and blue,
That In the nations co,ors rise,
Shine In their cheeks, and brows. and eyes,
And glow upon their banners.
From ocean shore to mountain crest;
From north, and south, and east, and west;
From all the bright and beauteous land,
They come, a blesslng-laden band,
And singing sweet hosannahs.
With cheering words from such mouth,
As thine, oh. daughter OF the south!
And love from such loyal breast,
AS thine, oh! daughter OF the west!
The sons can never falter.
And while In north aud east shall stand
The earnest. helping, sister band,
Sweet Freedoms day shall know no night,
But ever shall the flame glow bright
Upon the country's altar.
