An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFoRNIA FIG 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. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
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
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

ADAMS COUNTY.

The soil OF Adams count y is deep
and fertile; its climate unsurpassed
for the raising of small grains; its
farming season long, generally lasting
from the first of May to the middle of
June; its harvest season long and dry
and its winters short, but these advan-
tages would amount to little to the
poor man was it not for the fact that
here he can secure land for a home
with very little cash outlay. Gov
eminent land may be secured in good
portions OF the county and there is
still considerable amount OF railroad
land left and the high priced land in
the county is not held at more than 30
to 40 per cent as high as land of equal
productiveness in the east. In its
cheap land lies the great reason why
the west is so much better for q poor
man than is the east, and when this
cheap land is exhausted, us it will be
in the course of II few years, the west
will not present those great advantages
to immigrants which it does Mt the
present time.

The average citizen little realizes
the good of his local paper and many
well-meaning business men actually
believe the money they pay in return
for advertising space is more in the
shape of gratuity than otherwise.
When party is given or a church
social is held it is nice to have the
paper tell the people when and where
it is to come off; and when the time
comes for the wedding nuptials it is
very nice to see their daughters name
appear as the beautiful BRIDE" and
the parents names appear as the
"solid old-time residents who reside in
their beautiful mansion on Quality
HILL" And when death overtakes
one Of the family the editor is justi-
fled in their eyes in lying by the yard
about the benevolent, charitable
friend OF the poor" and, to cap the
climax, publishes pathetic doggerel
describing his prospective chances at
arriving at the Golden Gate. OF course
the editor would be a shylock if he in
timated that he had to have clothes
to wear and bread to eat for his fami-
ly. The newspaper does more work
for the fun of it than any other class
and gets less credit.

Sam Jones, the preacher, says that
the women are continually cutting
their dresses lower at the top for the
ball room and higher at the bottom
for the bicycle, and he is becoming
very much alarmed as to just where
this cutting business will stop. This
latest roast takes the place of the old
one on low cut dresses, where he
speaks OF attending a society ball in
Boston. A lady asked him how they
were dressed. Sam shocked her by
saying that the part OF them he could
see over the table didn't have any
thing on and he was so ratified that
he forgot to look under the table.

The idea that man is entitled to
Office just because he stood by the
party when defeated is all bosh. If a
man is honest and believes in the
principles of his party it is his duty
to stand by that party and its candi-
dates if he never gets within forty
miles OF an office. There are several
thousand men in this state who would
like to hold one of the state offices,
but because they do not get it is no
reason why they should be idolized
more than the man who does not
want an office but pounds away for
his party year in and year out. a
man should first be qualified to hold
the Office he seeks and then he should
be wanted in that Office by the people.
A man who has to be "jollied" all the
time because he didn't bolt the party
in time of defeat might as well go first
as last. The independent voter saves
the country.
