There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For IA great many years doctors
pronounced 1t a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. J. Cheney Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for testimonials.

Two reminders the JOURNAL over
looked last week
/, That the day of publication,
February ,, was grounding day, and
,, That on that date February ,, 1899,
exactly , years before, Sandy Smith
wrote letter to the then editor of the
Fo,Um which "Mr. Williams did not
care to have published in that paper,
although the latter asked for nothing
more than small award of justice-the
retraction of lie published concerning
Williams surrender to Sandy when the
latter had him on the ragged edge of
dangerous libel suit. This lie did Sandy
a great injustice, but no effort whatever
has ever been made to repair it.
1t must be remembered, too, that
Williams admitted at the time that "the
libel appeared because il hnd not bee"
Sccn before publication"
But when the truth about (which side
first offered to settle was submitted to
him, he wouldn't permit his editor to
publish it becaues he had seen it.
This piece of injustice was exactly two
years old on grounding day.
But it is not too late to award Sandy
this little measure of justice, and, as the
JOURNAL would like to see it i'll print i'll
the For"D,, it will furnish "A copy, prop
erly spelled, punctuated and para
graphed, for that purpose.
If that is not satisfactory, send Sandy
an acknowledgment. One to this eff
feet will go long way toward doing the
square thing:
FRosTBURG, Nh, Feb. 8, 1901.
Dear Sandy-Your salty favor Of Feb. 2,
1899, was duly received.
We have been very busy; hence our long
silence
You certainly did us up.
After offering to pay the court costs and
your counsel fees and to print the retraction
which You wrote for us-why we should ever
pretend that you offered to have us offer to do
all that is something that makes us very I'M
happy every time we wake up in the Silly
night.
If you can Just imagine, Sandy, that we
really think that away about it, it is all right
with us if it is with you.
So. goodbye.
No more at this time.
This leaves us all well.
Hope to meet you at the primary in March.
Bring us all the votes you can, as there is go
ing to be a strong move on foot to lay some
ropes that may knock out some of our fellers.
Excuse bad writing.
Wish you would leave word with Sam
Bowen to find out through Alf Jetfres from
the ex- Cad what Otto Hohing is up to. We
would like to know because he was i'll cores
pondence with headquarters in Baltimore
last fall and it may be that is why we are
blamed for letting two democrats get into
Council last spring.
AS we said before, we are well, notwith-
standing the prevailing onslaught of grip
upon some of our best workers, runners and
heelers. Vote early Yours truly,

Pneumonia Can be Prevented-This
disease always results from a cold or an attack
of the grip and may be prevented by the
timely use of Chamberain's Cough Remedy.
That remedy was extensively used during the
epidemics of La Grippe of the past few years
and not single case has ever been reported
that did not recover or that resulted in plleu-
moria, which shows it to lie a certain pre-.
ventive of that dangerous disease. Cham
berlaln's Cough Remedy has gained world
wide reputation for its cures of colds and grip.

Since you wrote to us last we have organ
lied the Home Building and Conveyance
company. We would like to say who first
worked out that name for a plan to furnish a
home to every poor man who has the money,
but, honestly, Sandy, don't you think it is
daisy?
1t has completely taken the place of the
Forum Publishing company-the one which
would not publish your letter. and we are
puzzled like the mischief how to sign this.
The dead company, you know, cannot sign
and the live one has not done anything to
You 1t is the worst fix we have been in
since Jack Brown forced us to improve the
looks of the Foytun by boiler plating it Oh the
inside.
No news, except we had some trouble with
a lot of infants on one of our companies ice
pond. They imposed on us, we wouldn't
stand it, and had 'em arrested. What will
come out of it we don't know yet, but we are
looking for the best results.
Business in all our lines is good except
around the big drum cyclinder, and unless
the rate of town taxes is raised, there may be
a falling off in our income from underground
street improvements. Aswe often say to our
marble and cemetery companies, pray for
mortality, for when all else fails in business
and politics, we can fall back on epitaphs and
grave sites.
Please excuse this long letter
v. B.-If you can think of it Sandy, put a
cigar or two in your pocket on the evening of
the primary. Their presence will add to your
influence.
We regret very much to lose Cronin, but
all of us are consoled by the reflection that,
though gone, he is not forgotten.
Don't forget to put on your overcoat even
ing of primary, Sandy, as we would not for
the world have you catch a chill.
Remember the cigars.
The weather was real nice on the second
anniversary of our failure to do you justice,
and old G. h. saw his shadow sure. We are
now satisfied about you in the past, but the
next five weeks may be full of grip measles,
mumps itch and other contagious diseases.
Be careful and don't associate much with the
other side
.v Don't forget the cigars. Get some like
them you had when you was clerk to council.

A British patrol force of seven men sent
out from here is missing, and has probably
been captured by the Boer raiders.
Lord Kitchener, having changed his base
Of supplies to Port Elizabeth, according to
recent dispatches, because of the preva-
lence Of the plague at Cape Town. the in
dication of the presence of Boer guerrillas
in the vicinity is important. 1t means that
the Beers are trying to interfere with the
British line of supplies between Port Eliz-
abeth and the north.
Seventeen fresh plague cases are reported
at Cape Town.
Mr.. w. E. King of Atlanta, Ca. who
says he was formerly lieutenant in the

tional Guard. has just returned to London
from South Africa. after serving for more
than a year as aid-de-camp to Gen. Della
rey, the Boer commander, whom he left
January 20. In an interview Mr.. King
said:
"At the time I left Gen. Delarey the
Beers had q 900 men in the field, and suf-
f1cient small-arm ammunition to last four
years. l am going to the continent to as

Rumors of surrender are absurd. Gen
Louis Botha Is generally mstrusted: but
even If he were to surrender that would
not entail the surrender Of the other COM
manders."
Mr.. King declared that the British ILL
treated the Boer women. He described sew
eral occasions on which American allies of
the Beers. dressed in khaki, entered the
British lines at johannesburg and other
places, secured orders for ammunition and
other supplies, and then drove off with
them to the Boer camps.
