"SOng of the Soil"

The violets in the garden
With the summer winds are
pIayin';
The daisies in the meadow
Amt a grievin' fer the rain;
Happy" sings the hilltop,
An Happy sings the
plain
Tune up, believers, fer the
chorus!
Youth never find the country
Where the happy people
stay
You'll never reach the good
times
If you weep along the way;
Jest think the lonesome winter
Is asbrother to the May
Tune up, believers, fer the
chorus!

IMPORTANT TO AUGUSTA.
Profit by This and Find Safeguard
Against Many Ills.

Nothing is more important to Au-
gusta than the good health of her peo-
pie. How can they fill their place in
this busy town unless they are well?
No one trouble is responsible for
more nervous ills. sleeplessness. gen
eral debility, weakness. back aches.
rheumatic pains, even iil-temper and
peevishness than Indigestion.
Fortunately. a combination of RENE
dies, called Mi-O-na stomach tablets.
has been discovered that absolutely
cures indigestion and restores to
health and strength the whole digesti> 8
SYSTEM.
So reliable is Mi-o-na in curing all
forms of stomach weakness and
troubles that BOwditch & Webster and
Percy w. Means give signed guar
antee that the remedy will cost MOTH
ing unless it cures. Mi-O-na sells for
so cents. and is invaluable to anyone
who suffers with indigestion, nervous
ness or weak stomach.

Next Meeting of Governor and Council
Friday, June q, at 10 A. M.

The State Board of Assessors has
returned from Franklin and oxford
counties where they have been holding
their annual meetings with the local
assessors of those counties, and are
now preparing for their monthly meet
ing, which will be held at the rooms Of
the board at the Capitol Tuesday, June
g. In speaking of the different condi-
tons in the counties visited Hon. Geo.
Tottla of Lewiston said from present
indications the coming apple crop
would be good one. The trees are
fun of blossoms and the present out
look is considered very fiattering. In
regard TO the valuation Of the State he
said that there are indications for a
good increase, judging from the returns
received as far as the work has pro-
crossed. The average increase since
1900 has been $4,000, 900 per year. and
he thinks that the valuation of the
present year will be fully up to that fig
ure. Another item in the work of the
board which shows an Improvement
This year is the sheep industry, which
is thought to have reached its low
water mark and to be now on the in
crease. One favorable feature in con-
nection with this industry is the better
market for wool. which is attested by
a remark made to a member or the
board few days ago, which was to
the effect that he was now paying 81
cents per pound for wool that he had
until lately been able To buy for |!
