social gathering last evening that was
a source of a great deal of pleasure to
the many who were present. The occa-
sion was a Parish social. or meeting
of the different societies of st. Marks
parish, for both social and business
purposes The reports of the different
societies were read, after which a
short musical and literary program
was rendered, and the evenings en-
joyment was concluded by the service
of light refreshments. The affair was
a complete success and it is under

mixed with other vegetable ingredi-
ents, will kill the germs that infest
the skin. Apply this prescription to
the skin, and instantly that awful itch
is gone. The very moment the liquid
is applied, that agonizing, tantalizing
itch disappears, and continued applica-
tions of this external remedy soon cur.
the disease.
We carry in stock this oil of winter

70 all who take the trouble to
read the reports of the U. s. land
offices in regard to contests. it
appears apparent that the forest
reserve agents are being used as
spies on settlers on public lands.
While every person who makes a
land entry should unquestion-
ably live up to both the letter
and the spirit OF the laws. and
the government has an unoues-
toned right to know that such
person has fully complied with
all the requirements, still IT is
rather nauseating to the honest
citizen to know that the govern
ment has set "a $40-a-month ir-
responsible employe to watch
over his actions, and that said
employees bare word will be nc
cepted over the sworn affidavits
OF the honest citizen and his

man is innocent until proven
guilty; in forest reserve practice
every man is considered guilty
until his honesty is proven over
the protest OF a forest reserve
