a curious condition has resnl-

from Hayre state that a large

The Church Removal.

The old Methodist church build.
ing, which was recently purchased
by Mr.. P. A. Hodges, has been
taken down and moved off. AL
though built 81 years ago, it was
IN remarkable state of preserva-
ton. The sills and plates were
from the church which was built
in 1843 and OF the best hewn tim
Der.
A remarkable discovery was
made in removing the washboards
in the northeast corner of the
building. It was a hen nest with
two eggs layed 81 years ago. The
shells we're perfect, but contents
had no doubt evaporated, Us they
were securely sealed up.

II is particularly appropriate at this
time, when Old Home Week has recent
ly been observed in so many cities and

stead" household name in America
This noted author and artist, who has
done so much to encourage love of home,
writes: Il am glad TO indorse Father
Johns Medicine as a tonic and body
builder and an excellent remedy for
colds and lung troubles" The import
ance OF avoiding patent medicines con-
tanning poisonous nerve deadening drugs
and weakening stimulants, warrants
again calling your attention to the fact
that Father Johns Medicine is not a
patent medicine. but the prescription of
an eminent specialist, who prescribed 1t
