What AiIs Many Men.

There is-no need to describe the pc.
culiar weakness with which so many
men are aiflicted-you all know what it
is--it NAV have been caused by over
work, indscretion, or inheritance. How
to cure it Is what interests you. You
may have taken many kinds of medicine
and found no relief-that proves nothing
except that you have been working on
wrong lines. A regular physician who
has seen thousands of similar cases cer-
tainly understands yours. Such a physi.
clan is DR.. Greene, the leading speclalist
in nervous and chronic diseases, the dis
coverer of DR.. Greene's Nurvura. You
can consult DR.. Greene without fee or
cost, personally or by letter, at his office.
"a Temple Place, Boston, Mass. If it is
not convenient for you to call, write DR..
Greene a letter-yOu will receive a
prompt answer explaining your case.
Remember that consultation and advice
are free.

SkOwhegan Grange.

A rain storm was on, Wednesday
evening, Nov. Is, preventing a very
large attendance at the grange but
enough were present to insure a lively
and interesting meeting. Two candi-
dates for membership were voted 10 and
one application received.
Appropriate resolutions were adopted
on the death of Mrs. S. II. Bradbury.
AS an active and devoted member of
Skowhegan grange her death has created
a vacancy that will be difficult to fill.
Every heart is made sad and the sympa-
thy of the entire membership goes out to
Bro. Bradbury 10 this severe affiiction.
The intellectual exercises consisted of
reading "The declaration of purposes of
the Order Of the Patrons of Husbandry"
by A. r. Smiley. The subject of "Rural
mail delivery" was considered by Ansel
Holway. The grange as whole has
been agitating this question for some
time and through appropriate commit
tees the matter has been pressed upon
Congress. Bro. Holway is confident
that at no distant day we shall be favor
ed with free delivery of the mails
throughout the rural sections of our
country. When this occurs, as it
surely will the farmers should give the
Patrons of Husbandry credit for bring
ing it about.
Mrs. f. G. Varney and 5. F. Emerson
each gave recitations and Alonzo Smith
offered some good suggestions 10 rela-
ton to the work of the lecturer of a
