eastern exchange. Lord Charles Beres-
ford startled London audience wear
ago by declaring that money could
buy its way into the highest places il
England. He merely anticipated the
records of the bankruptcy courts Mr.
Hooley did not succeed in establishing
company promoting on a permanent
social basis. The bottom fell out of his
enterprises before he had perfected
his system of batting small investors
with the names of earls and the Leaders
of smart society. He was imposed up
on by swarm of spectators. solicitors
and middlemen, and he was a bankrupt
before he could regulate the perquisites
of directors in accordance with fixed
principles of social precedence and in
troduce a tariff with maximum and
minimum fees for introductions to peo-
pie of quality. The bubble was pricked
before the full purchasing power of
the stock promoters money was
brought to bear upon smart society.
Yet this traffic carried Mr. Hooley a
long way into the social world. It
produced for him the acquaintance Of
many people of distinction; it enabled
him to enter the Carlton club. and to
stake out a claim for a seat in parlia-

There are eight village post Offices on
the wagons route. The travelling post
master will carry mail to them and re-
ceive it from them His wagon is fitted
with cases and pigeonholes, so that he
can assert mail while he travels; and he
will deliver mail to all residents along
the road who will take the trouble to
put up letter boxes or to wait for the
wagon" He will be authorized, more
over, to sell stamps, register letters
and issue money orders, and, Il rail-

post office and the railway mailcar will
bring the farmer and the outside world

which the government is trying to
solve an imperative problem-that of

Important Real Estate Deal.

On June 2Sth The Marietta Masonic
Temple Co., of this city, consummated
a deal whereby they disposed of their
fine lot on Putnam street between Sec
ond and Third, to Messrs. A. ID. Fol
lett, w. j. Cram and G. S Corner, for
the sum of $11,250, the parties taking
possession Immediately after the GUS
tomary formafties had been gone
through with.
This transaction, of course, dispels
the idea of a Masonic Temple being
built in Marietta for several years at
least, as doubtless there will be dis
tribution of the proceeds
The lot is one of the choicest in Ma
rietta, being a grand location, and its
size is 52% by III feet. The parties
who purchased contemplate erecting a
modern Office building of several stor-
les height fully equipped to house and
accommodate traffic which generally
accumlates in such structures.

WRITE A LETTER.

Many women live where there is no skill
ful specialist in wofnen's diseases and still
more cannot afford to pay the high fees
charged. These sufferers should follow the
example of Mrs. Anna Willy, of Worthwhile,
Sphinx Co. $. OAK, who writes as follows
to DR.. r. v. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y:
IL am enjoying good health thanks TO your
kind advice and valuable remedies. / suffered
very much with female ailments for more than
carefully following your your free advice and taking
six bottles each Of DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescrip-
ton and Golden Medical Discovery am now
a well and happy woman. l have also taken
several walls Of your Pleasant Pellets which
did me great deal Of good"
Dr. Pierce has probably treated and cured
more cases of female weakness, pains in
the back, side and abdomen, nervousness,
headache, irregularities, ulcerations, tu-
mors and other female troubles than any
other living physician His wide expert
ence peculiarly hts him to bring about cures
when every one else fails He charges no
fee whatever to those who write him for
advice, and he invites all to consult him
free by mail. His wonderful remedy,
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, can
be depended upon to overcome nearly ev-
cry kind of disease that affiicts girls and
women. It contains no alcohol, opium or
other narcotics, and does not create craving
for injurious stimuleuts, as is SO often the
case with other medicines advertised for
womans g ailments
An honest medicine dealer will give you
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and not
try to persuade you to take some inferior
substitute for the little added profit he may
make thereon.
Those who wish may enclose I'll one-cent
stamps in their letters, and DR.. Pierce will
send free his IooS-page Common Sense
Medical Adviser, which is the most COM
plete and practical family doctor book ever
published containing over 700 pictures.
