INTHE early days of our country whip
ping posts were in vogue, to which wife
beaters were often tied and politically
whipped. If such was the custom at
present, there is at least one brute
in Alma who would receive his just
deserts, as it is a common occurrence for
this beast in human form TO knock his
wife down and shamefully beat her in
the presence of his children. On
Wednesday night the poor woman was
so badly pummeled that it was reported
the next morning that the husband had
killed her, but upon investigation by
the officers it was found it was not quite
so bad as that, still the marks of his
burly fist could be seen upon her face
and blood had been drawn in several
places. 1t is about time for the citizens
to take the matter in hand and rid the
community Of the wretch.

MlIlIonalre's Poor Stomach.

The worn-out stomach of the over.fed
millionaire is often paraded in the pub.
lie prints as horrible example of the
evils attendant on the possession of
great wealth. But millionaires are not
tie only ones who are afflicted with
bad stomachs. The proportion is FAR
greater among the toilers. Dyspepsia
and Indigestion are rampant among
these people, and they suffer far worse
torture than the millionaire unless they
avail mselves OF a standard medi.
cine like Green's August Flour. which
has been favorite household remedy
for all stomach troubles for over thirty
five years. August Flower rouses the
torpid liver, thus creating appetite anc
insuring perfect digestion. 1t tones
and vitalizes the entire system ard
makes life worth living, no matter
what your station. Trial bottles, 2sc;

IT WOULD seem TO an observer that
there is enough telegraph business in
Alma to warrant the Western Union
Telegraph company in establishing an
Office located on our business streets
and employing an operator, independ.
ent of the railroad company. The
business at present is too large for the
operator at the union depot to care for
along with his other duties as ticket
gent, and IL located nearer to our mer.
camille institutions 1t would undoubtedly
be materially increased.
