Good Cough Medicine for Children

The season for coughs and colds
is now at hand and too much care
cannot be used tosprotect the child
rem. A child is much more likely
to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever
when he has a cold. The quicker
you cure his cold the less the rick.
ChamberIain's Cough Remedy is the
sole reliance of many mothers, and
few of those who have tried it are
willing to use any other. Mrs e. f.
Starcher, of Ripley, W. Va, says: Il
have never used anything other than
Cham berlaIn's cough remedy for my
children and it has always given good
satisfaction. This remedy contains
no opium or other narcotic and may
be given as confidently to child as
to an adult. For sale by jackson

Here's to you, dear Ladies',
May you live one thousand years.
To sort'er keep things lively,
In this vale of human tears.
And here's that we may live
One thousand years, too.
Did we say "a thousand years?'
No, thousand less a day,
For we should hate to live on earth
And learn that you had passed away

Local dealers ill Christmas cards did brisk business this year. Many peo- pie used the cards to acknowledge the receipt of Christmas presents and they were also used by hundreds of people in sending Christmas greetings to relatives and friends in other places. The cards this year are of very pretty design.
 T. B. Mcdonald, the genial clerk at Sharon Inn and one of the towns lead ing authorities on matters pertaining to sporting events. picked the winner in the recent Worlds Championship prize fight between Johnson and Burns, and sent telegram to friend of his who is at present out of town, containing the historic words. 1T told you so." Fossil bly, MT. r.,McDonald' s friend is rather glad that "Burney" would not back his opinion.
 The children exercises at the Congre- gational church on Christmas night were largely attended and were very enjoy able. The children sang several carols, spoke pieces etc. But the crowning fea- turs, to the children. was the arrival of Santa Claus, who was announced by a great ringing of sleigh bells outside. The part of Santa Claus was admirably filled by Mr. Baker and with the aid of his foar brownies, he distributed many presents to young and old. MT. Forte s short address to the children contained good advice, but it is to be feared that the children did not pay the attention that the address warranted as they were anxiously wondering when Santa would put ill his appearance.
