A PASTORS WORD
In Recommendation of a We'll.
 Known Remedy.

From the Era Headlight, Grand Junction, Ia.
 No higher praise can be offered nor better references given concerning the virtues of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People than the many voluntary testimonials from ministers of the gos- pei which have come from all parts of the country. One of these is from Rev. Enoch Hill, pastor of the M. E. church of Grand Junction, Iowa, who says:
 of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. For three or four years was a sufferer from general debility. I seemed to be lacking in vitality, was tired out most of the time and sleep gave me no rest or refreshment. I was troubled with headache much of the, time and my illness incapacitatcd me for energetic work in my pastorate
 "A sister-in-law living in Nebraska who had used Dr. Williams Pink Pills with good results, recommended them to me and decided to try them. I had taken but two or three doses of the pills when found that they were helping me, and further use of the remedy brought such relief that am glad to offer this public recommenda- tion of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in the interest of suffering humanity.
 "I have recommended the pills to many whom I have met in my work and am always pleased to indorse the medicine, the excellence of which has been established within my own ob- servation."
 Signed, REV. ENOCH HILL.

DROUTH BEGINNING TO BE FELT.
 The weather has now tilted to the other extreme, the rainfall being only GA inches for June, against 4.31 inches last year. The needs of rain are as great as at any time last year. Gar dens wilt during the middle of the day. Some meadows are beginning to turn brown, which means that growth has stopped. Those who have begun having are disappointed at the light yield. Some think it will hardly reach the average; but few believe it will go above. Winter grain is now doing we'll as the rank growth has stopped and the crop is now maturing under favorable conditions. Tobacco is now all set but should the present trough continue much will have to be reset. The apple crop promises to be light peaches seem likely to be full crop

INTERESTING SCHOOL EXERCISES.
 Your correspondent was privileged to be present at the closing exercises of the school kept by Miss E. A. Lewis. Having had opportunities in preceding Years of attending similar exercises, a treat was as matter of course ex- pected. To say that anticipation was more than realized would hardly be doing full justice to either teacher or pupils. It would be impossible to particularize as to to the merits of the work shown by those participating in the exercises, as each one in their own line rendered their parts so per fectly that to make a distinction would be out of place. The gifts pre- sented by the teacher to the scholars were we'll chosen and apparently much appreciated by the recipients. Near the close of the exercises R. M. Weeks responded to an invitation to address the school, by giving few items from his own experience, together with some good advice. Taken all in all the entertainment was fully up to "2Oth century" requirements.
