The closing exercises at the High

ing of a high order by the large num-

In common with all other sections
we had a freshet Sunday which did
considerable damage, The water in
the Deerfield was the highest it has
been since 1869. At Mountain Mills
the water came up around the mill and
a perfect river ran through the works
doing much damage. The railroad
track near the mill was badly washed
out but it has been repaired so that
trains pass all right. The roads are
washed more or less in different parts
of the town. but on the whole we were
very fortunate.
The heavy rain fall of Saturday'and
Saturday night raised the Decrtield
river to an unusual height, and consid-
cradle damage has been done TO the
roads and bridges in the vicinity of
Wilmington. Martin \. Brown, man

they SAW The SMOKE.
But They Declined to Act Upon the
Warning.

Once Vesuvius destroyed two Italian
cities in few hours. The people saw the
smoke from the volcano but failed to
escape in time.
Where there is smoke there is fire and
where there are symptoms Of one of the
most dangerous of diseases. A feeling of
languor, sense of weakness and WEAKNESS,
drowsiness, giddiness and mental discom-
fort. A bad taste in the mouth-the old
" coppcry" taste. An offensive breath,
headache, neuralgia heartburn, feeling
of dullness and weight in the stomach,
nausea, dry and feverish skin, constipation,
rising of a nasty gas into the throat, tongue
furred like the moss on tree, irritability,
disgust with food.
Have you any of these symptoms?
Either now or sometimes? Yes you say,
"but don't think they are dangerous"
They are signs of danger. They show that
the eruption is coming
Now what lies at the bottom of all these
symptoms? Indigestion, dyspepsia, and an
oyerworked liver. There is but one help,
one remedy. Slow up, and for the mis-
chief already done, tone up the digestive
organs and liver with the new medicine,
Calcura Solvent, discovered by DR.. David
Kennedy, Kennedy Row, Kingston, N. Y.
