Christmas was generally observed in
Williston and the surrounding COM
munities in appropriate style and ac-
cording to the good old-time customs
last Monday night. Christmas Trees,
ladened with all sorts of good things,
were much in evidence at the Congrega-
tional and Methodist Churches, aud
each edifice was literally packed with
eager audiences and anxious children,
intent on reapng the full enjoyment Of
the occasion. The exercises at both
churches are spoken Of in the highest
terms. Old Santa Claus, at the Congre-
gstional Church, was an amusing feature
for the children. We understand that
they also had Santa Claus at the NJ E.
church, who furnished amusements ga
lore for the children there.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmotl.ers never thought Of using
anything else for INDIGESTION or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they.
seldom heard Of Appendicitis. Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure. etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation Of undi-,
gested food. regulate the action Of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action Of the system, and that is all they
took when feeling dull and bad with.
