For constitutional or scrofulous catarrh, and for consumption induced by the scrofu leas taint, Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the true remedy. It hss cured numberless cases.

Great complaint is made by the farmers of the county who are in the habit .of trading in the city, because there are no hitching racks, the place being almost entirely void of them. The complaint is a just one, aud it is te the interest ef our business men to remedy the evil. At a very small cost racks could be placed en the public square or back streets, and a great benefit would be done .

This is an ags of exaggeration, Aa La(ern circus says that it is ss far asove all other circuses as the sky kissing mountain te the mole bfH, which would not be true if all other circuses only had a monkey and a brass ring apiece. As we read the bills of traveling shows we marvel at the "hi Aluting" language which thoy use ; yet every day we bear words used as ranch out sf place by our ewa frieada nod fellow-citizens. One says it is an awful warm day, when tbsrs is nothing awful about It at all. Another says something Is the most delightful ihing she ever saw, when as a matter of fact. It is not delightful st all,and another something as bail. When such persons really find some: hing that is awful or delightful they have no language to express them selves with. They are in as bsd a fix as a frog without his croxk or a rooster without his crow. a Iu sotno eastern cities there are such nstitutions as soli-treating societies, aud I am inclined to believe In them to a certain extent . Half of ths drunken- u'. as snd crime in the land is caused by the social cup paid for by some one else. I here's the rub. Custom has made treating so general that a man is often ( ailed pusillanimous if he dees net dc it on alt occasions, when io the r i;;h t place he is as free with his money as he should he. Any way we would be saved from the spendthrift, and rather than have that name we would be called the "stingiest old icamp in town.''
