been one of the principal staples
bought for the pmrpose, and was
shipped away from that port with
out cnusing the least comment or
suspicion.'

Having a Great Run on Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy.
Manager Martin, of the PierBon drug
store, informs us that he is having a
great run on Chamberlaiu's Cough
Itemedy. He sells tire bottles of that
medicine to one of any other kind, and
it gives great satisfaction. In these
days of la grippe there is nothing like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to stoo
the cough, heal up the sore throat and
lungs and give relief within a very
short time. The sales are growing,
and all who try it are pleased with its
promot action. South Chicago Daily

Reformation of Waldo and Vicinity.
The Waldo correspondent to the.
Grants Pass Mining Journal has
the following to say of the spiritual
well-being of his localitv:
"It man not be generally known
that this once sinful spot south of
Hayes Hill is being redeemed and
turned over to the Lord. To the
credit of Revs. Sams, Epperly and
Brock be it Baid this change has
been brought about. A United
Brethren Church has been organ
ized at this place. The Methodists
at Althouse are now holding revival
meetings by the j'oint efforts of
Brothers Sams and Brock. They
will begin at Kerby this week Fri
day.. Waldo church has oyer forty
members while Althouse has about
thirty - Jnst think of regular prayer
'meetings at Waldo, Althouse and
Kerby! Recently we have been
.bringing into use some more of the
alphabet. It was Satan, Sin and
Saloon over here but now Christ,
Christianity and Church occupy
first place. Young men will be en
abled to choose between the church
and the saloon, books and beer, in
tellect and intoxication. Verily. the
Lord's flag the Bible is hoisted
in thiB land to remain.''
