JUST A BIT OF HISTORY.

The Davis Hollow cemetery at Rom- ford is known as the resting place of our forefathers away back when bears and wolvesrwere the principal con- panions, about 150 years ago. The red man roamed about, among the end less forests. Decendants of the Davis family still exist. F. J. Kingsbury and daughter visited the old cemetery, last week, being decendants of the original Davis family. They went down to the Green to view the original Episcopal church, which was moved from here. It is generally believed that this place should have retained its original name, which was changed to Romford when the railroad was built.

FOR WOMEN Much That Every Woman

Too rucd stress caunot b. placed rn the great value of Cuticura Soap, Oint. ment and Resolvent in the antiscptic cleansing of the mucous surfaces and of the blood and circulating fluids, thus affording pure, sweet and economical local and constitutional treatment for weakening alterations, innammations, itchings, irritations, relaxations, dis. placements, pains and Irregularities peculiar to females. Hence the Cuti- cura remedies have 6 wonderful infiu- ence in restoring health, strength and beauty to weary women, who have been prematurely aged and invalided by these distressing ailments, as we'll aS such sympathetic affiictions as anemia, cnlorosis, hysteria, nervousness and debility.
 Women from the very first have fully appreciated the purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy which have made the Cuticura remedies the standard skin cures and hulnour remedies of the civilized world.
 Millions of the women use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for preserving, purifying and beauti- flying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening. whitening and soothing red, rough and sore hands, for annoying irritations, and ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative, sntiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves, as we'll as for all the purposes of the toilet, bath and nursery.
