THE GOODRICH CITIZEN.

John Sperry returned on We'd
nesday evening Of last week from
Higbee, Mo-, where he spent the
winter. He was not favorably i'm
pressed with the south and says
that he prefers the worst North
Dakota winters to the one he spent
there.
Mrs. Springer, who has been
lowering between life and death at
her home northeast of here, was
reported to us yesterday as i'm
proving and hopes we're entertained
Of her ultimate recovery, which is
encouraging news to her numerous
friends. DR.. McReynolds, of this
place, is the attending physician.
When Morris Payne was return
ing home from town Saturday
night his wagon reach broke allow
ing the front wheels to jump from
under the box and as the team
was full of life they decided to
have a lively time, and in the af-
fray morris" got thrown into the
front Of the wagon box, striking
just above the eye against some
sharp projection, causing a severe
bruise. However he considers he
came out Of it lucky:
Brost & Roedel have placed an
up-to-date awning over the main
street frontage of their store which
adds greatly to the attractiveness
as we'll as to the comfortability on
summer afternoons. .
G. Mauch is making arrange
ments to start a meat market here
In the near future. He will occu-
py his old stand which he now
owns. This is welcome news to
Mr.. Mauch's numerous friends.
and it is a foregone conclusion
that his patronage will start out
good.
j. H. Eby, an esteemed resident
of a few miles east of here, return
ed last week from Thayer, Kan,
where he spent the winter months
with relatives and friends. Mr.
Eby is enjoying his usual good
health and looks none the worse
for spending a few months away
from the healthful climate of this
section Of country.

 and Beauty

Beauty is the external proof of health; with failing health comes failing beauty. Wom- ans delicate organism is ire quently over-taxed by arduous household duties, and the de- mands of society. The con stant drain upon her vitality weakens her nervous system. The penalty is tired, worn- out, exhausted condition which destroys her appetite, robs her of rest, and at intervals causes much suffering and distress. When these conditions exist, the weakened nerves must be strengthened. Dr. .Miles'Nervine will do this. It stimulates the action of all the organs, brings refreshing sleep, and drives away that look of care.
 T have taken Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine for years, as did my mother before me. Whenever l feel tired, worn-out, or have headache, l always take the Nervine and it strengthens me. I consider it great remedy for nervousness or debility"
