A Promising Investment.

Russell Conwell, says: People haye
no business to be poor" He also sayss
"Whenever there is a need there is a
fortune" Reynoldsville has a need
which other people are supplying
They are making q fortune by furnish
ing what we have failed to procure for
ourselves. Our annual cost for natural
gas exceeds fifty thousand dollars. Is
this not a stupendous drain on our fin
ances? Is there not a fortune in it for
the people who recognized our needs?
If by spending one-half our annual cost
In drilling we can procure enough to
supply our own needs, is there not n
fortune in it for US. Do you know OF a
more promising investment? Think it
over, no doubt Conwell is right. I'VE
have no business to be poor" Our acres
of Black Diamonds are being carried
away and the profits enjoyed by non
residents. Let Us seek the "Acres OF
Diamonds" that still remain undiscov-

missed and a searching party sent back

Impose on Good Nature.

Rev. j. c. McEntire, blacksmith and
M. E. local preacher of this place, is
often imposed on, perhaps thoughtlessly,
and he submits without complaining.
Rev. McEntire supports himself and
family by working in his shop. He
is frequently called out to conduct
funeral %serices, which he never refuses
if possible for him to go, and sometimes
he has to hire a livery rig. Now the
imposition is this: He loses time in
his shop and often has to pay money
out of his own pocket for livery hire.
People who call him out of town to con-
duct funeral should at least pay the
livery hire. 1t is not right to ask him
to lose time from his work and pay for
livery rig. This notice is not published
by request of Rev. McEntire or any of
his friends, in fact it is published with
out asking Rev. McEntire's permission
to publish it. We simply publish it in
justice to a man who is frequently i'm
posed on.

WHAT DO YOU CARE9
YOU'VE GOT -FOUR HEALTH
Great Natures Do Not Despair at
Disappointments--:rhey Look
for Something Else to DO

The broad-gauged man of to-day does
not get blue just because things don't
always some his way unless there Is
something the matter with him. If he
falls down on one proposition he i'm
mediately starts TO look ZIP another. lie
always looks forward and keeps on hust-
ling A man with his health and facul-
ties has plenty of opportunities and the
man who gives up or even feels like It
has either a small nature or some physi-
cal weakness.
Dyspepsia certainly puts the best OF
men out of condition for work of any
kind. You cannot blame the dyspeptic
his disease isomese depressing and cal
culated to deprive him Of ambition, ener-
gy and hope. There ID hope fer him,
however, certain and sure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are recog
nized throughout the length and breadth
of the land as the one cure that's safe
and sure. Their unbounded popularity
resulting from the thousands and
thousands of cures they have effected.
prove beyond the shadow of doubt
their greatness as cure. Wherein hes
their greatness In the very fact that
they are Natures own simple remedy.
They do the exact work in exactly the
same way that the digestive fluids of the
stomach do because they are composed
of exactly the same elements and possess
the same properties They relieve the
weak and worn out stomach of its bur-
den of digestion and permit it without
let or hindrance to rest and grow sound
and well. The stomach will get well
quick enough in its own natural way if
it is let alone. That is what Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets do. They not only let
it alone themselves but make the food
taken into the stomach do the same.
You can satisfy yourself of the truth
of this statement by putting the food
you would eat into glass jar with suf-
icient water and one Of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets. The process of digestion
will be taken up and carried out just as
the gastric juice and other digestive flu
ids would do it. Their action is natural
and they cause no disturbance in the di-
gestive organs. In fact you forget you
have a stomach when they begin to do
their work so mild and natural is the
operation. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are for sale by all druggists at Soc a
box.
