INCREASED BUSINESS.
Large Showing Made by the Publishing Houses
at the Augusta Postofiice.

The Journal has had occasion from
time to time to point out the great in
crease of the business at the Augusta
post office, which is almost entirely due
to the prosperity of the two large pub
fishing houses situated here. 1t was
thought on the first Of January, 1899
that the high water mark had been
reached when the record for the year
showed there had been $3.50 sacks
dispatched during the 3o7 working
days Of the year previous.
But large as this amount was, the
record for the year ending Dec. 81,
1899. is greatly in excess, there having
been dispa 291 .99S sacks. an in
crease Of 15.709 sacks. or practically
10 per cent. more than were handled
the previous II months. 1t il to he re-
membcred that that year docs not rep

Inc fish commissioners have issued their
decision on the pickercl fishing question
and have decided under certain restric-
ton to let the fishermen have A chance
to crafty their winter fishing longinEs
on certain days of the week for the
toothsOme pickerel.
several weeks have elapsed since the
hearing held by the commissioners ON
this subject and in the meantime the
fishermen have believed the result would
be exactly as it is. that practically no
fishing will be tolerated in the waters on
the west side of the kennebec river and
that it would be allowed with hardly an
exception on the east side
1t will be remembered that at the hear
ing the facts We're brought out that the
fishermen were greatly against any fish
ing in waters that had been stocked with
trout and landlocked salmon The
sportsmen of Watervil'e We're down to
the State House in force that day to
protest against any fishing in the Bel
grade waters where they have interests

At the same time the Cobbosseecontee

fishing be allowed in their lake through

The contingent representing the ponds
on the east side of the kennebec We're,
on the contrary, very much in favor Of
winter fishing for pickerel. Few Of these
ponds have been stocked with trout or
salmon ana what few Of the named fish
there are in them. have a hard time to
live in the same community with the pi
ratcal pickerel and people wished not
only for the sport of catching but the
privilege Of Kidding the ponds Of as many
of the pickerel possible.
At that meeting there was such perfect
harmony of opinions that it was seen the
commissioners We're they 10 do as the
public requested would grant fishing in
the latter case and prohibit it in the for

done in their decisions which are given

There seems to be an epidemic of
colds.
1t is strange how many people start
in with cold that they have con-
tracted during the autumn months.
Such colds are dangerous, for unless
cured when the weather is warm it is
very difficult to get rid of them when
really inclement weather appears.
Donot. if You have cold. go through
this winter and let it pull you down. A
racking cough may be the means of un-
dermining your constitution. terminal
ing in consumption, when there will be
no hope for escape.
Cod-Liver Oil has always been the
greatest known specific for consump-
ton. Naturally Cod-Liver Oil has been
given for colds which are regarded by
many people as the first stage of this
disease. There is no need of our tell
ing you the drawbacks of Cod Liver
Oil: the vile, greasy mixture was so re-
pellent that not more than one person
in ten could take it. But Cod-Live
Oil did cure where it could be taken.
Now we have a cod-liver oil prepara-
ton that cures just as surely as did
this vile remedy. We refer to Vinol
Any body can take Ninol 1t tastes de
licious, and because it contains the
active curative principles that made
Cod-Liver Oil famous as the specific for
consumption and other wasting dis
eases. it will be readily seen how valu-
able it is for all such troubles
Here is one letter taken from many
that are continually coming to our
notice. Mrs. L. Cogh'an, 122 Putnam
Ave, Cambridgeport, Mass, says:
Last September | contracted
heavy cold which terminated with ton
silitis. and later the grip. All winter
| had a dreadful cough. and the doctor
advised me to take several things.
among them Cod-Liver Oil. | tried it
for several months without obtaining
relief. At last | heard Of Ninol and
gave il n trial. Five bottles cured me
and | have had no troubles since"
When we talk of VinOI, we
know of what we speak, and will
refund your money if you are not
satisfied. ~
