others could not, and he is on

substantial business men Of the
city, who feel that it would be
better to leave the treasurership

Mr.. Cells friends are active,
however, and there are host of
them who believe with abundant
reason that he would make a
most acceptable treasurer. This
fact with his popularity as a

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
the r. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
