In consequence of the in
convenient shape of Beverly Manor Township,
propose change as TO the place of register
ing and voting, that we have but one place
Of registering and voting, and that at the Court
House.


AS almost all voters have more or less busi-
ness in Town, the Inconvenience of coming to
the Court House, a central point to vote, will
be more than compensated for by the conve-
nience of having the registrar at the Court
House the two days preceding the elections,
and the saving to the public of fifty dollars
each election.


A petition has been prepared asking the Leg
lslature to pass law in conformity with the
above suggestions. Persons favoring the change
will please call and give their names. On the
contrary, if the proposed change does not meet
the views of the voters of the Township, we
would be glad if they would express them.

THIRTY YEARS


Have elapsed since the introduction of the PAIN
KILLER to the public, and yet at the present
time it is more popular and commands a larger
sale than ever before. Its popularity is not con-
fined to this country alone all over the world
its beneficial effects in curing the :" ills that flesh
is heir to, are acknowledged and appreciated
and as IA pam killer its fame is limited to no
sect nor race. 1t needs only to be
known to be priced. Thirty years is certainly a
long enough time to prove the efficacy of any
medicine, and that the Pain Killer is deserving
of all its proprietors claim for it, is amply proved
by the unparalleled popularity it has attained.
1t is sure and effective remedy. Sold by all
