Paine's Celery
Compound
CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid of this poisonous acid which produces the
irritations, pains, agonies, inhammations, and
swellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. It is the only
medicine that prevents a return OF the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared OF all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use of Paine's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr.. S. D. Conway,
St. Louis, Mo-, was permanently cured by
Paine's Celery Compound after repeated fail
ures with other medicines and physicians; he
says:-
81 am 90 years of age, and have lived in
St. Louis 27 years, and all this time with the
exception of three years, have served in the
Engineers Department as Inspector. Last
winter l contracted rheumatism and was laid
up. tried all remedies and doctors, but all

which has made permanent cure in my case.

MISREPRESENTATION

Last Sabbath was as cIoudless
and joyous a day as the hearts and
faces of two of our prominent
Lincoln county bellies, who had
named the Goth of September as
their wedding day.
At the home of their parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Storm, Miss
Belle Storm was welded to Mr..
Albert Newton and Miss Dell
Storm to Mr.. r. f. Smith, the
ceremony being performed in a
most impressive manner by Hon.
w: F. Parsons, president of the
Board of Supervisors.
The fair young brides were twin
sisters had opened their eyes in
life together, had gone down IN
the waters of baptism together,
had arisen together in a newness
of life, and now together took
upon themselves the VOWS of wife
hood. 1t was solemn and beau
tiful occasion. Hospitality was
boundless. An. elaborate dinner
was served the assembled guests,
numbering more than a hundred,
and the lives of the lovers united,
began under suspicious circum-
stances. The grooms are thrifty
young farmers of this county.
Among the guests from this city
were Miss Dele Storm, Mr.. and
Mrs. Eugene Bee, jr., DR.. and
Mrs. Ira L. Parsons, Messrs. John
and Willard Seavey, W. M. Turn
bough and W. F. Parsons.

Gently and would have been re-
ported sooner, but grapevine tel
egraph" is even slower nowadays
than before the later inventions of
intelligence transmitters- its seems
so, anyway.
Mrs. 7. G. Maxwell has been
teaching this school for four years
and has done much of educational
and missionary work among her
pupils. One of them, Miss Julia
Case, she mentions as being
wonderfully gifted in the art Of
sketching and drawing; and to
one, Miss Elsie West, she pre-
sented gold ring for excellent
penmanship. So interested have
patrons Of this school and the
county at large become, that a
$3.50 building will soon supplant
the old school house; and better
training and influence will, conse-
quently accrue to the pupils.
On the commencement day re-
ferred to, Prof. T. P. Scott and
Rev. R. H. Purser made speeches
that excelled anything they had
ever done before in that line: and
by the aid of the handsome new
watch the loyal teachers of the
county presented him at the recent
Teachers Institute, Prof. Edgar
Green reached the scene of labor
and reward-of history and of
prophecy-on time, and made an
appropriate talk to the assembled
crowd.
Such work as this going on
throughout the county's-and the
State bounds, speaks in no un-
mistakable tones of the future of
the rising generation. Let each
build nobIer than the last"
