Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold

A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana,
writes; Last year suffered for three
months with a summer cold so distress
ing that it interfered with my business.
l had many of the symptoms of hay
fever, and doctors prescription did not
reach my case, and l took several medi-
cines which seemed to only aggravate
my case. Fortunately l insisted upon
having Foley's Honey and Tar in the
yellow package, and 1t quickly cured me.
My wife has since used Foley's Honey

Shears and SaWbuCk.


Shears & Sawbuck keep a store,
Such as never was before.
City folks they wouldn't sell,
Wouldn't let 'em have smell.
Fetched their money, but by Jing,
Couldn't buy a blessed thing.
Couldn't NEE; 'em face TO face,
And then sell 'em with good grace.
Country trade was what they sought.
Folks who'd pay for what they bought,
Fore they saw it hide or tail,
They sent out catalogues by mail
Out TO every blessed one
Gettin' mail at Postum Rum,
We set up at night and read
When we'd orter bin in bed.
Books was bout as big as sin.
Had lot of pictures in,
And lot of merchandise,
Ev'ry kind and ev'ry size,
Givin' prices that they swore,
Knocked out every country store,
Looked so straight and seemed so true,
bit at it-Jim did too.
Jim, my neighbor cross the way,
Best man ever workedin hay,
Just let him top off stack,
Sheds rain like turkeys bac..
Pleasure just to see him work,
Never knew Jim to shirk.
Swings the scythe like it was play,
Love to watch him work in hay.
Well, we like pair of fools,
Sent off, got some haying tools,
Jim got harness and plow,
/, range-I see it now
Drat the thing, it was so light,
Used 1t for torch at night
lowed the darn thing in the yard,
Use it now for rendering lard.
Fore Jim used the pillow an hour
Found the blame thing wouldn't scour.
Tried the harness, broke tug,
Went to Olsen's stole his Jug.
In the cooler all that night,

CRITICISM OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

People who accept appointment
or election TO public Office of any
kind lay themselves open to public
criticism, and the sooner that fact
is thoroughly digested by public
officials in Berryville the better it
will be for the officials and the
public. People who do the work
of the public. or who draw salary or
emoluments from the public purse
have dual standing in the COM
munity a standing as public
officer, and the other as a private
citizen. Their acts as public Off
Gals are open to the free criticism
of anyone. AS to their private
affairs, that is an entirely different
matter, unless they violate some
law or disturb the peace.
The point we want to drive home
l. that some of the public officials
of this town seem to have taken
our criticism of public questions as
ii personal reflection upon them,
and we want to say again. as we
have had occasion to- say in the
past, that it doeSen't make the
slightest difference To us who man
Is or what he is, personally. it has
absolutely no bearing upon his
conduct of any public Office which
he may hold.
And further, threats which may
be made against the editor of the
COURIER for an honest criticism of
any public official will not have the
effect of soaring US in the slightest
degree. We might and would.
take to the high grass at
the approach of Bat" Masterson,
Teddy" Roosevelt, or any of the
other bad men" and "gun-toters. "
but when it comes to any of the
public officials of Berryville, we
plead not guilty.
We have nothing to do with
their personal and private affairs,
so long as they do not get into the
courts, and we have not made land
do not intend to make) any criti-
cism of their private or personal
affairs in the COURIER.
As to their public affairs, we
shall criticise them when we feel
thatthe factsjustify criticism. The
truth will be told, lift is obtainable.
If criticism is indigestible to any
public official or employee of this
town, let him make quick time in
writing out his resignation, and
we feel sure it will receive prompt
acceptance. Then he can be abso-
lutely certain that the public will
have no further criticism to make
of his official acts.
This is free country; this is an
unsubsidized newspaper; long
established law gives any newspa-
per the right of criticism of official
acts; long-established law and Gus
tom have made it plain to any
sensible man that no personalrefiec-
ton is cast by official criticism.
The editor of the COURIER has
the very kindest personal feelings
toward all those men who hold Of
flce in this town, and with some of
them we are on terms of the closest
and friendship.
We do not owe any public official
In this town a cent, we are under
no obligations to them as public
officials. And we can look any of
hcer or employe of this town in the
eye and tell him to go to hell
