A SPECIFIC FOR La Grippe, for Golds, Coughs, AND LUNG TROUBLES, AVER'S CHERRY PECTORAL "Two years ago, I had the grippe, and it left me with a cough which gave me no rest night or day. My family physician prescribed for me, changing the medicine as often as he found the things I had taken were not helping me, but, in spite of his attendance, I got no better. Finally, my husband, read ing one day of a gentleman who had tad the grippe and was cured by taking .Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, procured, for me, a bottle of this medicine, and before I had taken half of it, I was cured. I lave used the Pectoral for my children and in my family, whenever we ''have needed it, and have found it a specific for colds, coughs, and lung troubles." Ehily "Wood, North St., Elkton, Md.

Li-t Saturday a lady from Dafur went in one ittir leading grocery stores with a rm-k-t i f e. gs for sale, the polite clerk askinyr ner the price per dozen, she eaid 7 2 5 feMti. Being very busy, at the ti-nt the -t-tre full of customers rely ing on her honesty, he asked how many dozen ttMve you in the basket? She re piteti: "If I take the eggs out of the basket, two .at a time, I have one egg left. It I take them out three at a time I have r.ne egg left. If I take them out four at a time I have one left. If I take ttieut'iut five, at a time I have one leit. If I tnke them out six at a time I have one 1-r'r, hut if I take them out seven at a time I have none left in the basket." On axving this 8be left the store, re marking she would be back later for the money and basket. Now. if you want to see this clerk leave the store in a hurry, just go iu and say, I see Mrs. So-and-So from Dufur coming down the street. If any reader cannot see the reason, let him figure bow much the eggs cost. ' - PULPITS AND PEWS.' M. E. CHURCH. The morning subject at the M. . church ras "Spotted Religion" Mr. Wood began his discourse with the statement that man is a religious be ing naturally and if he is- not it is be cause of some injury committed by him self. Pure religion is bard to attain. There are spots on all chronicled re ligions. There were on the religion of the Israelites. Of the Pharisees, as godly a people as can be found in the new testament, inasmuch as they were zeal ous and prayerful and dispensed wide charities, Christ said that if the religion of his followers was not better than the Pharisees, they could not enter the kingdom of HeaveD. Spots were found upon the seven churches, Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, etc., with the ex ception of Philadelphia, of which no comment was made. The Christian re ligion was harder to live up to because it was a religion of being as well as doing. All that is neceseary to be a good Bud dhist or Mohammehan was to comply with certain forms and outward cere moniee. The Chrietian precepts are be ye good, "be ye pure," "blessed are the pure in heart." A Christian should carry purity and Christian principle into all the walks of life and into politics, as well as anything else. Vote as you pray, and let the spiritual obligation reach to civil life. John Wanamaker and J. D. Rockefeller were quoted as examples of devoted Christian men being successful in business affairs. The attentioe of the congregation was then directed to spots that may possibly exist in their char acters, charity, conversation, manner of welcoming strangers, etc., and urged a prayerful consideration upon the points noted. A spotted religion does not com mend itself to the world. Confessed fits Guilt. Mr. Joseph Proulx, Hying on Govern ment Flat, missed a chest of goods a few days ago and found trace of them Satur day in a singular manner. While in the East end talking to Mr. Isbell about his loss, he mentioned among the things a razor. Mr. Isbell said he purchased a razor the other day of a man on the street. He was requested to show it and produced the case, the razor being at a barber ehop for repairs. The case was at once recognized by Mr. Proulx as his own. Mr. Darnielewas made acquainted with the facts, and ransacked his feed yard, finding the balance of the stuff hidden in a secret place. The officers were then summoned, to whom was giv en a description of the thief and to day they found him in the person of one Joe Campell. Campell was taken be fore Justice Davis today, pleaded guilty, and made a fall confession. The justice therefore bound him over to appear be fore the grand jury. 1 County Taxes.
