the lodge have an eye upon o fine old
home, delightfully."- situated, and
which could be admirably fitted ur
for the purpose intended. It is near
the business centre, and it would not
be surprising if the deal is closed al
once. The Americas lodge is a strong
one, made up of representative citi
zens and business men, and should
have comfortable and elegant quarters.
The old mansion in question would
suit admirably for this purpose and
can be had at reasonable price.

Danger or Colds and La Grippe.

The greatest danger from colds and
la grippe is their resulting in pneumo-
MIA. If reasonable care is used, how
ever, and Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy taken, all danger will be avoided.
Among the tens of thousands who have
used this remedy for these diseases,
we have yet to learn of a single case
having resulted in pneumonia, which
shows conclusively that 1t is certain
preventative of that dangerous maIady.
1t will cure a cold or an attack of la
grippe in less time than any other
treatment. It is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by all druggists.

Packing Houses Must Pay License In

While the big packing houses, or
meat trust, have set in to squeeze the
public by putting up the price of meat
to wellnigh prohibitory fgurep, they
will have to come down little more
literally in this state in the way of
special taxes. A license tax of 5000 in
each county in which one of these big
concerns has an agency, will have to
be paid. The Supreme Court has just
reversed the decision of the Superior
Court of Chatham county on this
point, and the tax will berequired to be
paid as was held by Controller Gener-
