THE PLEASANT SPECIFIC.

What broad and take-it-all-in ex- pression that old adage is about the great oaks growing from the little acorns. It applies to the grave conse- quences that often develop from little ills. Dull headaches, heartburn, eye aches, and other evidences of disor- dered stomach are endured for seasons until finally nature succumbs; gets tired of struggling unaided to keep you well. If you don't think enough of your stomach to give it help you musnt t blame it for feeling bad. And when ones stomach gives way the torments take possession of the body. In Dr SilaS Ames' Specific we have remedy that quickly rights stomach's s wrongs. It comes in the form of small pellets which are easy to take At present we are selling full-sized soc packages for 25c, half-price, and guar antee to cure any case of dyspepsia or constipation in Newtown or give back the money. The sale is big and the stock is getting down, so it would be wise to secure a supply right away. BettS SJ BettS, Sandy Hook.

This week concludes the very inter- esting series of letters on "California life in '49," "from the pen of B. L. John- son. They have been followed with deep interest by BEE readers from Lime Rock to Westport, from Sher- man to Watertown. MT Johnson's faithful friendship to THE BEE is deeply appreciated. Commencing at the time when R. H. Smith assumed control in 1881, his kindly help has never been held back. If MT Johnson had chosen he doubtless could have sold the interesting series of letters on Glover Hawley, which he gave to THE BEE without money and without price. Valuing the usefulness of a local paper, no man in town has done more to aid the publishers in tighten ing their laborious efforts in carrying it on. He has been a tried and true friend at every iuncture

Regrets afflict us sore.

Seem brighter as they go,
