In common justice to our neighbor
Mr.. Geo. Mcdaniel wish to deny
the report which has gained credence
and which has been circulating about
the neighborhood regarding his cattle
and their condition.
Some time ago, some one sent the
officer representing the 8. P. @. A. to
see his stock. This society Zone OF
the grandest in existance) like all
good things, seems to be misused at
times. AT the time Feb. 10th he had
on hand fourteen head of cattle and
the same number of sheep, all of
which to my mind were in very good
condition.
Mr.. Mcdaniel is not the only one
who suffered from shortage of hay
last year and like many others knew
he would have to buy (Which by the
way he is capable of doing) but first
wanted to feed what he had on hand.
Living as we do directly opposite the
Mcdaniel place think we should be
in position to speak the truth re-
garding his stock. would say that
during this year we have not heard
the least bit of lowing from his cat
tie which in itself is sufficient proof
that they are not starved, and at this
writing they are III very good hay

NEW YORK ACTRESS.
Partisan Sage Made Her Hair Grow Two
Inches in Seven Months.

Partisan Sage Made Her Hair Grow Two
Inches in Seven Months.
OF all the women in the world, an
actress most ardently desires beauti-
full and luxuriant hair. And when
her hair begins to fall out she be-
comes anxious, and intelligently
seeks for preparation that will stop
the havoc, grow new hair and give
life and beauty to the old.
John Sawyer, clever, handsome
actress, has this to say of Partisan
Sage:
"To whom it may concern: Have
tried most every hair tonic available,
and at last Partisan Sage was recon-
mended to me, and, as a last recourse,
used it to my entire satisfaction My
hair has stopped falling, dandruff
stopped, and my hair has grown two
inches in the last seven months. 1t is
the best and only sure cure for thin and
short hair l know" Joan Sawyer,
SO East seth St., New York City.
Partisan Sage is the scientific hair
restorer that has created such sem
sation since its Introduction into AM
erica about two years ago. 1t is such
quick acting prescription that every
agent who sells it will guarantee it to
cure dandruff, stop falling hair, and
itching scalp in two weeks, or money
back.
1t is the most delightful hair dress
ing in the world, and is highly praised
by society women actresses who have
luxuriant and glorious hair.
1t will turn harsh, lusteress hair in
to soft, silky and luxuriant hair in a
few days.
G. r. Fogg is the agent for Partisan
Sage in Skowhegan and he sells it for
SO cents large bottle, the largest
bottle for the price on the market.

stomach an extra burden greater than
it is able to carry without breaking
down.
His overworked stomach is crying
for help; it appeals to him for relief
in various ways: Expulsion of sour
gas, waterbrash, sour taste in mouth,
heaviness after eating, shortness Of
breath, bad breath, etc.
One Mi ma tablet taken with or
after each meal will help any sufferer
from dyspepsia wonderfully. 1t aids
the stomach in the work of digestion
which it must perform.
Mi-o-na tablets are sold by g. R..
Fogg at 30 cents large box, with a
rigid guarantee to cnre dyspepsia and
all stomach trouble, or money back.

Let our club still meet together;
And with music, Joke or song,
Make the Jolly Joker motto

Many, many happy birthdays
In the future yet to come.
