DEx that with this issue / take
full charge of the editorial and
business management Of the paper,
and while l don t feel that it is any
"long-felt want being filled, !
hope TO make THE INDEX a paper

to the advantage of one section OF

be made whole c-homc product, as |
feel the county has out-grown the
days Of patent inside. Hence, the
change becomes an absolute neces-
sity.
The paper, as heretofore, will
be Independent, reserving to itself
the right to be heard on matters of
public interest, leaving family
affairs, to those whom they concern,
neutral when prudence and judg-
many dictate, but always speaking
fearlessly when occasion demands

is asserted the despised Croton can,
The Treatment varies from eight to
twelve glasses daily, and Of course they
cure everything. Persous who drink
enough water neyerget too thin. Others

of indigestion are washed away by the

less devoted to their treatment because
it allows them to keep up almost every

The HerOIsh Of To-Day.

In an age OF materlalism, when at

BILE person does that which appeals to
the emotions and shows that the spirit OF
