One-sixth Of the deaths from disease
are due to consumption. Ninety eight
per cent of all those who have used
DR.. Pierce's Golden Discovery for
"weak lungs" have been perfectly
and permanently cured. Cornelius
McCawley, of Leechburg, Armstrong
Co., Pa, had in all eighty-one hemor-
rhages. He says: "My doctor did all
he could for me but be could not stop
the hemOrrhages, and all gave me up
to die with consumption" What
doctors could not do "Golden M dical
Discovery" did. It stopped the hemor-
rhages and cured their capse. This
is one case out of a thousand. Inves-

A duel was lately fought in Texas
by Alexander Shott and John s. Mott.
Mott was shot and ShOtt was not. In
this case it is better to be Shott than
Mott. There was a rumor that Mott
was not Shott, aud Shott avows that
he shot Mott. which proves either that
the shot Shott shot at Mott was not
shot, or that Mott was shot, notwith.
standing Circumstantial evicence is
not always good. It may be mace to
appear on trial that the shot Shott shot
shot Mott, or as accidents with firearms
are frequent, it may be possible that
the shot Shott shot Shott himself, when
the whole AFFAIR would resolve itself
into it's original elements, and Shott
would be shot and Mott would be not.
We think, however, that the shot
Shott shot shot not Shott, but Mott;
any way, it is hard 20 tell who was
shot and who was not slot.

$SS per mile, making a total cost to
the county for keeping up the public

Of amount when roads are worked the
first time and one-third after second
working, and one-slxth on the Srd
working in 1905, and one-sixth after
4th working In 1906.
1t is thought that the amount col

liable to road duty will be equal to at
least $500 per annum, which, added
to the amount that can be collected
under the one mill act of the legisla-
