the General Assembly for authority TO
borrow the amount necessary for the
continuance of the schools. $4,000 on

preparation.
This course seems TO be satisfactory
to most OF the members, but there is

doubt that II will be adopted. The a.

Fourth OF July and band concerts reso-

ton of $4,000 for each, but as soon as
the resolution asking for authority to
borrow the $4,000 is adopted. there win

! Judging from the testimonials that are
published it seems there are but few ills to
which the human flesh is heir, which
cannot be relieved and generally per.
manently cured by d.. Darrin's electric
treatment, and cases that have resisted
other efforts have yielded to his power
these cases embrace almost every kind
OF durable disease, and, as said before,
no man, woman or child need despair Of
relief and cure while DR.. Darrin offers
invaluable services. The doctor will re-
main in Aberdeen until March Goth and
can be consulted free at his office in the
Lowry building from 10 IN to s p IN
daily. No time should be lost to consult
him while he is here as it is seldom in
deed that an opportunity presents itself
to enable the afflicted to secure the ser
vices OF such an eminent physician.
