firm will he +. Ii. Hassett and W. H..
Peck. These gentlemen are long
headed business men and will no
doubt make n big success of their new
venture. They will carry the general
line of goods usually found in large
country stores. ranging from ham to
hammers and bacon to buttons.
From what | can learn it will not be
the policy Of the new firm to give
away IA brown stone front, nor a
chance or "A bicycle, with every sale
of goods, but will endeavor to fix the
price of their goods so that those
who buy them will soon be able to
save enough money in the difference
of price as compared TO Others to live
in brown stone houses and ride
wheels.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF Figs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Fro SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known TO be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. II
Is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling n
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process Of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co, only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and To avoid limitations. please
