QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought OF using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard Of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart fail
ure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermenta-
ton Of undigested food, regulate the ac-
ton of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action OF the system, and
that is all they took whom feeling dull

firing squad, composed of soldiers of
the late Spanish-American war in full
uniform. The children in line were in
charge of Miss Sarah A. Scott, gram
mar teacher. The column was headed
by drum corps and at the cemetery
was met by quite a number of persons
The soldiers were assisted by the
school children in decorating the
graves with garlands of flowers. After
the ritual, the usual salutes were fired
by the young soldiers.
Attorney Frank W. Nesbitt made the
address of the occasion and his re-
marks ELECTED the closest attention
from the assembled soldiers and their
friends. He spoke as follows:
The names of patriot soldiers who went
down TO death sublime,
arcades of time.
It is most fitting that we gather togeth-
er 10 the bright spring of each happy year
10 give expression TO the gratitude we feel
toward those whose blood purchased much
of the prosperity we now enjoy. Most fit
ting that with the advent OF the season OF
flowers we turn aside from our daily
avocations to bedeck with choicest bios
some the hallowed graves Of the departed
heroes of 's1-65.

Of the lads who fought for the preserva-
ton OF our glorious union should ever re-
