A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Years Constant Use
without Failure.

The first indication of cro1p is
hoarseness, and in child subject to
that disease it may be taken as sure
sign of the approach OF an attack.
Following this boarseness is peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thous-
ands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoipts the anxious mothers.
We have yet to learn of a single in
stance in which it has not proved
effectual. No other preparation can
show such record-twenty-five years

Governor Elerbc was practical
farmer, and in his early youth his
hands were hardened by constant
contact with the plowand hoe handles.
He always applied himself steadily
to his business, and was very success
fnl in his chosen pursuits, and whilst
it was not necessary after he reached
manhOod's estate that he should en-.
gage in the manual labor Of the farm
he was fully qualified for work of
any kind that should be found ncces-
sary.
Governor Ellcrbo went from a
common school in his own county to
Wexford colleg" at Spartanburg, but
before graduating there he entered
Vanderbilt university. On account
of i'll heallh he was prryontod from
finishing his coarse '.tthc lattor insti-
tuition, and, returning home. took
up the pursuit Of farming as his life
work.

mated Capt. b. II. TiIlman for gov

In the yard of D. W. Cenehoff, three miles
north of Hagerstown, Nd. stands peach
tree, about Is years old, so full Of peaches
that the limbs have to be propped up. Last
fall the tree had every appearance of being
dead with the yellows. Mr.. Beuchof- 5
father-in-law, Samuel K. Oswald, after the
sap went to the roots, dug around them and
cot out all the worms. He then used recipe
he got 40 years ago and put around the roots
about quart of salt and some refuse from
soap boiling. New roots formed and this
spring the tree gave forth deep green leaves,
instead of yellow ones as heretofore, and the
tree was covered with bloom. Mr.. Oswald
believes the yellows are nothing more than
the harm done to tree by the borers at its
roots
