The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-
tonal disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter-
nally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucuous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work: The proprietors have so much
faith IN its curative powers, that they offer
One Hundred Dollors for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

The Albany Capitol Guide.

One Of the first things done by a
stranger visiting Albany, says the Phil
adslphia Call, is to pay a5 cents and
put himself at the mercy of capitol
guide. The guide makes profound and
obsequious bow, like prestidigitator
about to charm an audience, and pro-
ceeds to lift the veil which hides the
mysteries Of the great building.
On recent occasion the guide led
the stranger regretfully past "McGin-
tvs" empty frame and proceeded TO
identify the heads Of notables that deco
rate the stairway. He did fairly well
until the stranger pointed out Shakes
peare and Homer and asked who they
were
''Them, replied the guide, undaunt-
ed, fare the heads Of two politicians
whose names disremembex.

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENTS.
During the past few weeks there have been
some decided improvements made in our vii
lage in the way of taking down fences, and
even some of the most conservative people
admit that it adds much to the beauty of our
village. The men who have repaired and
painted the band stand and improved the ap-
pearance of the park, deserve great COM
mendation, and they may feel assured that
their labor is appreciated by the village peo-
pie. While there is so much enthusiasm for
village improvements and general admlra-
ton for our village, would it not be we'll to
consider the condition of our streets on dark
nightsi Last Monday night was very dark
ard rainy and there were only three street
lamps lighted on Main street from Mr.. Ban
crott's house to the new bridge, one at Mrs.
f. B. Scofeld's, A. II. Sabin's and Lewis
Tenney's; under such conditions it certainly
cannot be considered an ideal spot. Such a
state of affairs ought not to exist. Let us
make up our minds to do something for the
lighting of our pleasant village.
