EniorabIe OYSTER Roast.

An occasion hong to be remembered
by two score or more ofour citizens was
the oyster roast given them on Wednes-
day afternoon last by Mr. r Francione,
the well known and popular Broad
Street restaurateur Of Richmond. or
Farmvile people, Mr.. Francione num-
bers scores, not only as patrons Of his
elegantly appointed Richmond restau-
rant, but as warm hearted personal
friends. Such were those who receiv-
ed the more than royal welcome to the
home Of Mr.. w. II. Burger, which was
the scene Of the happy gathering Wed
nesday. Once upon the grounds, there
were no ceremonies or formalities, but
with unanimity each one, armed with
fork, plate and unconditional terms,
made vigorous attack upon an impro-
yised table stretching for many feet,
and ladened with oysters on the half
shell. They we're seasoned TO the taste
OF the most voluptuous epicure. While
the generous feast was being enjoyed
around the table OF bali shell, one more
tempting was in course Of prepare
tion-the roast. A whole barrel or
more Of selects had been spread upon
the hot covering Of a long trench filled
with live Goals, aud were scizzing and
cracking over the scorching heat until
ready for the opening and seasoning.
The afternoon was spent IN eating,
chatting, laughing, joking until the
hour for return TO town, when all re-
newed their thanks for one Of the rarest
and most delightful events Of the sea-

'Mj-o-na the Only Natural Wsy to

EInaciated faces and general thin

Mi.o-na, the flesh forming food that
Druggist Goolrick is selling in such
large quantities. You who have
thin. pale checks can be fat, plump,
strong, hearty, with the rosy glow Of
health if you will but use Mi-o-na.
Goolrick's Modern Pharmacy, one
of the most reliable drug firms in this
section, is selling Mi-o-na at SOC a box
under positive and absolute guar
antee to refund your money if it does
not fill out thin cheeks and make the
user plump, rosy and healthy.
Mi.o-na does all this in a perfectly
natural way. 1t miDgles with the
food YOU eat, aids assimilation, re-
stores the digestive organs to action
and puts the whole system in proper
physical condition. Those who use
Mona do not risk a penny when
they buy it. Druggist Goolrick will
give a written guarantee with every
box 70 refund the money if it does
not increase flesh, give freedom from
stomach troubles and restore health
and strength. Go to their store to-
dav and get months treatment to

The time-worn injunction, "never
put off till tomorrow what you can
do to-day" is now generally present
ed in this form: Do it to day !"
That is the terse advice we want to
give YOU about that hacking cough
or demoralizing cold with which you
have been struggling for several days,
perhaps weeks. Take some reliable
remedy for it to-day-and let that
remedy be DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup, which has been in use for over
thirty five years. A few doses of 1t
will undoubtedly relieve your cough
or cold, and its continued use for a
few days will cure you completely.
No matter how deep-seated your
cough, even if dread consumption has
attacked your lungs, German Syrup
will surely effect a cure-as it has
done before in thousands OF appar-
emily hopeless cases of lung trouble.
