1t is the desire of the country at large
that he shall have a monument COM

A road to Gettsburg is under dis

the new Union Station and the Capt.

Old Andrew Jackson, however, had
a great contempt for architects and

New Floor i'm Court House.

For some time past Fred Carlson
has been engaged in putting down a
new tile floor in the Office of the
County Surveyor in the court house.
The concrete filling between the floor
joists had attracted moisture to such
an extent that the floor had rotted
badly, making it uneven and the
place unhealthy, hence the new floor
of tile.

The newspapers are toying with the
name of the new bank examiner.
Some can't pronounce, some can't
spell 1T, others are inquisitive and
want to know what such name will
lead to ultimately. We don't know.
There used to be man of the same
name at Crystal Lake. He used his
name to hang a harness on at night.

Recent reports credited President
O'Brien with having the backing of

four votes to Tom Chivington. The
latest told, however. Is that O'Brien
can count with assurance only on MIL

while three votes certain to be cast
for Chivington are those of Louisville,

Save this Recipe for Cough
Syrup. It's Splendid.

You can make this unequaled
cough syrup at home in five
minutes. and you will find it a
very handy household remedy.
A few doses usually conquer a
deep-seated cough. This recipe
makes a full pint for only "a
cents, and lasts q whole family
a long time. Tastes good too.
There is nothing better at any
price.
AXE pint of granulated
svsar, add half pint of warm
water and stir for about two
minutes. Put 21k o. Pinex IN
pint bottle and fill up with the
sugar syrup. Take a teaspoon
full every one, two or three
hours.
You will also find this simple
remedy excellent for whooping
cough, bronchitis, hoarseness,
chest pains, etc.
This recipe will not work with
any of the weaker pine prepara-
tons. Use the real Pinex itself
which is the most valuable con-
centrated compound of Norway
White Pine Extract. Your drug
gist has It, or can easily get it
for you.
Strained honey can be used
instead of the syrup, and makes
a very fine honey and pine tar
cough syrup.
