THE WORK FINISHED.

Yesterday Messrs. ]. ~ Crenshaw
and W. H. O'Neal, who contracted
with the east side to place down 2
l5O feet of u inch sewer pipe, which
was to form a union with the west
side sewer, was finished all but max
ing the connection, which will re-
quire only few minutes work, and
this to be done on Monday. This
part of the sewer has been served
with three man holes and 4 lamp
holes, and the work on the same
has been inspected as the work
progressed aud pronounced good,
and the two contractors are not
looking for any trouble when they
turn it ever to the proper commit
tee to receive it. We learn from
Mr.. O'Neal, that the sewer to the
old dumping ground will not be dis
turbed but sealed up, and if any
thing should happen to tie sewer
now to be used which would call for
its repair and shut off the east side
for a time, the old one could be
opened and used until the repairs
we're made. We are glad to report
the work finished.

The Hundred Year Club.

A Hundred Year Club has been
organized, The object is to study
the conditions which promote lon
gevlty. After much study and re-
search its members must arrive at
the conclusion that the only posi-
BILE way to obtain long life is to take
the best care of the health. With
all due respect, we present the study
of Hostetter's Stomach BitterS for
consideration. This is tonic tor
one of the most vital organs of life
the stomach. For 6fty years it
has cured constipation, indigestion,
dyspepsia, biliousness, weak liver
and kidneys. 1t makes strong stom-
achs, rich red blood, and steady Wig
orous nerves. If you accept a sub
stitute don't expect it to cure like
Hostetter's Bitters. See that d
private Revenue Stamp covers the
neck of the bottle.

Summer Comfort.

There is a constant demand for
gasoline stoves. Why? Because
the new gasoline stoves work per,
fectly. keep the kithen cool and
pleasant, and do away with the
bother of having wood and kindling
around, But the chief reason is
on account of the cheapness OF
gasoline, as compared with other
fuel for cooking purposes.
By actual test it has been found
that four gallons of gasoline will 90
as far as 1000 feet of gas. Com
pare the cost and you will see the
saving will justify the use OF gaso-

When an infant industry has
enjoyed the helping hand OF this
government for a number Of years,
and has grown rich and powerful,
and then strikes down competition,
we say deny it further aid, aud
abolish its charter to do business If
it will not deal justly with those
who have paid tribute to sustain it
in its beginning. The people of the
United States ought to have the
privilege to buy where they can
make the best bargain. The tariffs
required by the republican party,
to be paid for the protection of the

are wrong, unjust aud cruel ini-
