DESTROYED by fire, Wednesday, April 10,
about noon. Mr. Howard was in
Bridgeport at his business and all the
men On the place were away at the

Jhe saw mill just north of the barn
when about nUun they saw the roof OF
the barn was On fire, having burnt quite
hole in it. They quickly gave the
alarm and went TO work with water
out the fire spread so rapidly the barn
could not be saved and all hands went
10 work TO save the house, blacksmith
shop, saw mill and engine house and IL
was by hard and heroic efforts they
succeeded in saving these buildings.
All the stock and nearly all the farm
machinery were taken out of the build
ing. The loss to the building and con-
tents will be about $500. There was
insurance of about $500 on the barn
and a small amount on the contents.
The neighbors hustled to the fire and
did all In their power to save what
property they could and the good work
| they did is very much appreciated by
A. Q. Howard and family, who wish
through the columns Of The BEE to

Of Interest To Women.

To such women as are not seriously out
Cf health, but who have exacting duties
to perform, either i'm the way of house,
hold cares or in social duties and func-
tions which seriously tax their strength,
as well as to nursing mothers, DIR. Piercc's
Favorite Prescription has proved most
valuable supporting tonic and invigorat-
ing nervine. BY it's timely use, much
serious sickness and suffering may be
avoided. The operating table ard the
surgeons knife, would, ii is believed,
seldom have to be employed il this most
valuable woman's remedy were resorted
to in good time. The "Favorite Prescrip-
tion" has proven great boon to eXpectant
mothers by preparing the system for the
coming of baby, thereby rendering child
birth safe, easy. and almost painless.
Bear in mind, please that DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is not secret or
patent medicine, against which the most
intelligent people are quite naturally
averse, because of the uncertainty as to
their composition and harmless character,
but is a MEDICINE OF KNOWN COMPOST
TIoN, full list of all its ingredients being
printed, in plain English, on every bottle
wrapper. An examination of this list of
ingredients will disclose the fact that IL is
non-alcoholic in its composition, chemic-
ally pure, triple-reiined glycerine taking
the place of the commonly used alcohol,
In its makeup. In this connection IL
may not be out of place to state that the
rFavorite Prescription" of DIR. Pierce is
the only medicine put up for the cure of
woman's peculiar weaknesses and all
mentS, and sold through druggists, all
the ingredients of which have the un
animous endorsement of all the leading
medical writers and teachers of all the
several schools of practice, and that too
