A Purgative Pleasure.

If you ever took DeWitt's Little
Early Risers for biliousness or consti-
patton you know what purgative
pleasure is. The famous little pills
cleanse the liver and rid the system Of
all bile without producing unpleasant
effects. They do not gripe, sicken or
weaken, but give tone and strength to
the tissues and organs involved.
W. H. Howell, Of Houston, Tex. says :
''No better pill can be used than Little
Early Risers for constipation, sick
headache, etc." Sold by Belt &
Cherrington.

It is rumored that the Southern
Pacific Company will build branch
from Brownsville to Charlottesville in
order to haul out the lumber Of the
Upper Calapooia. Thurston Bros.
have recently built large sawmill at
Charlottesville and twill be necessary
to tap the .Woodburn Nation branch
to reach the market. The report seems
well founded, although it did not come
direct from railroad circles. The
road would open up country that
has wealth of virgin forests and
would be a great help to the Upper
Calapooia. Albany Herald.
