NEW ADDITION.
The RathbOne Farm will be Laid Out in
Lots,

The Rathbone farm of over 100 acres
lying on the river, north of the city,
will soon be leaid out in lots which
will probably be ready to put on the
market this fall.
This is very suitable place for a
fine addition to the city as it is above
high water and the ground lies very
we'll.
County Surveyor BARTLETT and an
engineer from CoshCcton will have the
work of surveying in charge and all
that. causes delay is the failure of the
latter gentleman to arrive.
Several new houses are being built
in the neighborhood and there is little
doubt that others will begin as soon
as the let's are put on sale.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last two
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies. and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti,
tutional cure on the market. 1t is TAX
en- internally in doses from 10 drops to
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
TEN. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

Galveston as a Seaport.

A gentleman who recently returned
from the Western country, in speaking
of the disaster on the Gulf coast and
the effect it would have upon the COM
mercial life of Galveston, says that al
though the growth of the city has been
retarded for the time being, it will in
evitably come to the front as one of
the greatest shipping points in the
country.
His reasons as given seem to indi-
cate that such will be the case. The
city of Galveston, located on the Gulf,
with a fine harbor and number Of
railroads connecting with the fertile
lands of the Mississippi valley has
practically all the advantages of Chi
cago and New York and can easily
compete with these ports in the ship
ping of the products CT the central
United States.
When the city RECEIVERS from the
dreadful calamity recently suffered,
when normal business conditions are
restored then may we begin to lock
for Galveston to assume her place as
the leading shipping point on the Gulf
coast. The corn and wheat cf Kansas,
Nebraska, Missouri, Indian Territory
and Oklahoma; the iron and zinc of
Arkansas and Missouri; the cattle of
Texas; and the many ether products
of the great central West can find a
ready outlet to the markets of the
world through the port of Galveston.
1t is a city with a brilliant prospect for
the future.

As 10 JOhnStOwn,

There is still much discussion as to
the loss of life brought by the Johns
town flood in 1889. Authorities differ,
both as to the date Of the occurrence
and the loss of life. One encyclopae-
dia states that the date was May Both,
1889, another that it was May 31st but
the latter date is the one that seems to
be most generally accepted as correct.
The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
encyclopaedia gives the loss at little
over two thousand, the Werner edition
of Britannica fixes it at two and half
thousand while Mr. Spoffard, the
great librarian, in his late work,
states that the loss of life reached over
nine thousand. The loss of life was
very large and it was impossible to get
it exact, but there is no excuse for
such a wide difference as the figures
given above.

Coming Home.

Marietta people returning from sea-
side, lakeside and mountain resorts
where they have been spending the
summer, report nearly all places as be-
ing well patronized during the past
four or five weeks. The continued hot
weather during August and the first
week of this month kept many people
from returning to the cities until later
than usual.
The pleasure resort is becoming a
more poular institution every year and
its advantages to men and their fam
lilies who are shut up the greater part
of the year in large cities are untold.
Still there are some who leave those
places with an enlarged head and neet
of another weeks rest

The happiness of home life depends
largely on the health of the wife and
mother. When her strength is unequal
to the daily cares and duties of home,
the evening hour finds her utterly worn
out, too tired to talk, too weary to read.
At first even she is glad to have her
husband go out for the evening. She
wants rest and quiet at any price. And
so the foundation for marital misery is
often laid in ill-health.
But when the housewife is healthy
and strong she finds in her days duties
only sufficient outlet for her energy.
She looks forward all day to the evening
hour spent with her husband over a
book, or passed in quiet conversation.
And every evening so spent draws the
wife nearer to the husband and knits
together the twain who are tone flesh -
in the higher unity of one mind.
Every woman should know that the
general health depends on the local
womanly health. 1rregularity, weaken
ing drains inflammation, liberation and
female weakness are disorders which sap
the woman's strength and destroy her
happiness with her health.

Benson Briefs,

According to announcement the
people of this section enjoyed an
Easter egg hunt at Cedar Swamp
Methodist Church last Saturday
afternoon. The committee of ar
rangements were. Misses Ida
Chandler and Lizzie Snowden and
Mesdames Sallie +. Grayson, Azile
Mccullough and Emma McGill.
About an hour before the Eunt
commenced the committee met
and hid the eggs. The children
were promptly on hand, and a
small admission fee was handed
over to the committee when the
signal was given for the hunt to
begin. Very quickly the children
scattered themselves over the
ground and soon their hats were
full of eggs, all prettily dyed. AT
ter the hunt the eggs were eaten
by the children and grown up
people who so desired. The young
ladies and gentlemen present then
strolled into the woods in search
of wild flowers, soon returning
with loads of them, which were
used to decorate the church for
Easter Sunday. The receipts Of
the egg hunt. $l.30, will be applied
to the district parsonage fund.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-

disease. If kidney trouble is allowed TO ad

the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the altumen
