successful one and was by Fuller S Company. It was accompanied by { Icertified check, as required by tht call for bids. This firm agreed tt buy the bonds and pay par for then
 and in addition the amount of the ac
 crued interest at the time of theil
 delivery.
 The only condition of the success
 ful bid was that the bonds should bt
 subject to the approval of their attor
 neys. This is but the custom of all
 bond buyers and no hitch is expected l on this account.
 Was Credit to Douglas. The fact that the sewer bond issue was taken so promptly was a surprise
 to many of our citizens, as after the
 failure of Bisbee to attract bidders for
 the sewer bonds of that city it was feared that Douglas would fare no bet ter. In Bisbee the local banks had to come to the rescue of the city and buy the sewer bonds. No doubt the local banks in Douglas would have done as much for Douglas had it been neces- sary.
 T regard the sale of the sewer bonds so promptly as a mark of high tfhdhNtd2 otohhiu6 lCi OuI Sdlu Cashier Ellis, of the Bank of Douglas this morning. We know that Bisbee was unable to sell their sewer bonds away from home and l had misgivings about ug'2s doing any better in the eastern ms rkets. Douglas should be proud of this sale. It will advertise to the world that the credit of our city is good at home and abroad"
 ''The sale of the sewer bonds by the city council I consider to be a remark able stroke of good f@rtune for the city" said Cashier Hanks, of the First National bank. At this season of the year there is always a strong demand for money in the east where bonds must be sold and I had feared that Douglas would have trouble in finding purchasers for the bonds. The bid was a good one and I am much pleased with it. It shows a confidence In Douglas in the money centers of which we should all be proud"

on good authority, as saying that on previous occasion he had made 8 more scathing report about the dis trict attorneys office than any other. but that it was not his business to see that it was published. It seems that this panegyric on the methods of the Republican district attorney was quietly smothered by the Republican governor, lest the people of the coun- try might have change to judge for themselves.

Dear Sir: There are several ways of
cheating in milk. An old-fashioned
way is to water it. Nobody waters it
now. 4 better way is to take out the
cream.-rich milk with cream taken
out is as good as poor milk with its
cream all in.
But we needn't 90 into particulars.
You don't rob your milk and your
customers.
Paint il as easy as milk to cheat
with. Good paint is as rare as good
milk: for human nature is much the
same in milk men and paint men.
You are just and true with your
milk; so are we with our paint. Devoe
lead-and-zinc is. twice as good as mix
ed paints: There's twice as much
butter in il.
Mr. L j Ladd, Cheraw, S c, writes !:
When Mr. Evans painted his house
with Devoe, he figured on how other
paints covered and had enough left To
paint three large rooms. He was SO
pleased that he has used DeVoe ON
two other houses.'

When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have a
cold should be to relieve the lungs.
This is best accomplished by the free
use of Coamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This Remedy liquefies the tough mu-
Gus and causes its expulsion from the
air cells of the lungs, produces free
expectoration, and opens the secre-
tons. A complete cure soon follows.
