Buy ONLY THE BEST GINGER ALE.

The best is the Wheeler Brand of Bel
fast Ginger Ale. made by Wheeler & Co,
Of Belfast, Ireland. from the celebrated
Cromac Springs of that city. These
springs are the property of Wheeler &
Co., hence no other Ginger Ale manufac-
turer in Ireland has those waters but
themselves. The Wheeler Ginger Ale Is
made from pure Jamaica Ginger Root and
not from Red Pepper, as others are; one
is deleterious-the other is a tonic
For Healthfulness and Purity the cele-

many, is a neat little school-house
which occupies a lot of the Stewart

When the school house was

of rather fiourishing little school.
This village has tried and has
succeeded in carrying out the say
ing that, "Education is the path
way by which the Gospel is spread
to all parts OF the world" For al
most as soon as the school house
was completed, some Of the wise
and noble hearted women began 70

purchased an organ, and with the

bv the accidents THAI hefaIl at times
all classes of agricultural crops and
products. Diversified lion of crops
is an old story founded upon expsr-
fence and necessity. Texas has been
slow to adopt 1t because she has
been less sorely pressed by the one
crop and the one idea notion than
other new states have been. She
has leaned upon single crop but 1t
was and is a crop that is pretty sure
of some returns. Cotton may be
poor in yield and low IN price but
1t brings something and living is
skImrel out in some way. Iowa
found that wheat was sometimes a
total failure and that in that vigor-
Gus climate there was no margin be-
tween skimping and suffering. Kan
sas learned the lesson of diversified
ton from hot winds, the chintz bug
and the grass hopper. Corn, gener-
ally a profitable crop. especially
when put into stock, was sometimes
nit. Iowa has added $4,000, 900

terests, while the hen and her brood
and the cow and her grown up calf

new communities. How strange it
will look IN the near future to see

dense milk for his coffee!
