FIFTY-PoUND MELON.

Mr.. Richard Burks Of Blodgett,
Scott County, who raises some OF
the finest melons grown in the
Southeast melon zone, favors the
editor of this paper each year with
n whOpper watermelon, so that last
Friday evening when we went home
we were not surprised to find on our
porch one of the finest specimens of
the genus cucumis it was ever our
pleasure to look upon. When the
ice man came around we had him
weigh it, and it tipped the beam at
80 pounds. II seems that as the
watermelon increases in size It's
sweetness and lusCiousnoss also in
crease; at least that has proved the
case with all that our friend Dick
has sent us, and this last one was
no exception to the rule. 1t was
certainly all that could be desired in
the watermelon line, and proved n
feast for dozen or SO Of friends
and then some. May Dick long live
to produce superior melons and
reach the zenith of prosperity in the
good work.

POST OFFICE IMPROVEMENT.

Some very desirable improvements
have been made in the Pennington
Post Office which contribute to both
the convenience of patrons In get
ting their mail and to the POstmast-
er and clerks In distributing the
same. Nothing but lock boxes are
used, and the lobby Of the Post
Office will be kept open every day
in the year, Sundays and holidays
included, so that patrons who rent
boxes may enter and get their mail
at any time from n, IN. to 7.30p. III.
and this time may even be extended
to Q p. III. il found necessary.
1t is not thought eXpedient or even
necessary to keep the lobby open al
night, as it might he made rem
devious for undesirable loafers
and the hours named will be sutil
cient to accommodate all patrons.
The Office Is arranged with n gen
cral delivery, registered letter de
livery, money order delivery, ant
the space above the box arrange
ments is filled In with substantial
iron net work, protecting the dis
trlbuting department from the lobb!
and giving free ventilation. Alto
gethcr it is an Improvement tina
will be appreciated by the public.

LEFT ON HER DOORSTEP
FOR THIS MOTHER

Mrs. A. G. Tuson, OF Livermore. Cal,
writes: Il picked up from my door
step one day a little book in which |
soon became very much interested.
My little girl OF FIVE years OF age had
been troubled for a long time with
loss of appetite, extreme nervousness
and undue fatigue. She was all run
down and in a very delicate condition.
This little book was very compre-
hensively written. and told OF the new

nd has taken special nee IN all
matters pertaining to the financial In
lerests of the state, county and city.
He has never held a political ONCE,
hence 1t cannot be charged that he Is
a chronic omce-seeker. For the posi-
tion OF legislator he will undoubtedly
make good. as his qualifications are
4 the very best. The legislature
needs men of ripe financial training.
Being q large property owner, his In
-erests are on the side OF economy and
good government.
Mr.. C. H. Jones has had ZONE ex,
pertence In onlciAl life, having served
this county We'll uIon the board OF
commissioners. He made . record
there for economy and good sense in
the administration of the Affairs Of the
people. He has had experience In the
country as q rapchman and experience
In town as a business man and citizen.
He knows a good law when he sees It
and will always be found on the side
of morality and decency.
Mr.. Fred w. Geddes of the Centen-
NAL valley is a new man to Albany
county, but not so to the state. He
has been q resident Of Wyoming as
long as the oldest inhabitant cares to
remember. HeTade a fortune In Carbon
county and has spent much of tin
building up other sections. About a
year ago he decided to cast his lot
with our people, buying the old Tom
Bird ranch in the Centennial valley.
He is a man of strong character and
will make a legislator Of marked abil'
ity. The Republican feels that Albany
county has done well In drafting him
into the service of the commonwealth
Mr.. T. F. Tighe of Rock River ia
not very well known to the people OF
the south end of the county, but he
is recommended as a man OF sterling
character and splendid ability. He is
the agent and operator for the railroad
company at Rock River, alive to the
growing needs of that en%terprising
community and in accord with the
present spirit Of development in AL
bany county. AS the campaign pro
| crosses the people will have an oppor
tunity to become better acquainted
with him.
AS a whole there has never been 6
better house ticket nominated in this
or any other county Of the state. AL
bany will be able to match up with
the best Of the Legislators from Other
portions Of Wyoming and to maintain
her general reputation for ability
honesty and horse sense. The pres
emit outlook Is that there will not be
nan upon the republican Legislative
icket who will not be, several rows o.
apples trees in advance OF his oppon
ent when the votes are counted.

WHY SUFFER

Just asSlong as you have catArrh
Jour nose will itch, your breath will be
foul. you will hawk and spit, and you
will do other-dfsgustfng things because
,ou can't help yourself Tbs germs OF
catarrh have got you In their power;
they are continually and persistently
ligging into and irritating the mucous
membrane of your nose, and throat.
They r now making your life mis-
erahls; in timslthey win sap your en.
tire system of its energy it, strength,
its vigor and cvitaiitys
II you do not kill the, loathsome
germs Of cataryh, their desperate as
saults will In time undermine your rea.
son, rob your brain of its brilliancy
and activity, and leave you not only a
physical but a mental wreck.
This picture Is not overdrawn; the
writer has seen thousands of Just such
cases. He has personally experienced
the d~emoralizing results that come
from the ravishins attacks Of the hor.
rible catarrah germs, the greatest pest
Of civilized nations.l
But there Is n remedy that will
kill the germs and; cure catarrh, and
that Is Hyomei, the Australian dry air
treatment. There may be other RENE.
dies, but they ara NOT guaranteed a.
the Egg!eston Drug Co, will guarantee
Hyomei to cure catarrh, or money
back. Don't delay this pleasant an

allow these germssto exist in your sys

moralization. Eggleston Drug Co. will
sell you a complete Hyomei outfit for

guaranteed to cur bronchitis. asthma,
