Ayer'a Pills. They are Invaluable.
For some years I was a victim to Liver
Complaint, in consequence of which I
suffered from General Debility and Indi
gestion. A few boxes of Ayer's Pills
restored mo to perfect health. W. T.
Brightnoy, Henderson, W. Va,
For j ears I havo relied moro upon
Ajer's Pills than anything else, to
Regulate
my bowels. These Pills are mild in ac
tion, and do their work thoroughly. I
havo used them, with good effect, in
cases of Rheumatism and Dyspepsia.
G. F. Miller, Attleborough, Mass.
Ayer's Hlls cured mo of Stomach and
Liver troubles, from which I had suffered
for years. I consider them the best pills
made, and would not be without them.
Morris Gates, Downsville, N. Y.
I was attacked with Bilious Fever,
which was followed by Jaundice, -and
was so dangerously ill that my friends
despaired of my recovery. I commenced
taking Ayer's Pills, and soon regained
ray customary strength and vigor.
John C. PatUson, Lowell, Nebraska.
Last spring I suffered greatly from a
troublesome humor on my side. Inspito
of every effort to cure this eruption, it in
creased until the flesh becamo entirely
raw. x was trouoieu, at me samo time,

The Bowels.
By the advice of a friend I began taking
Ayer's Pills. In a short timo I was freo
from pain, my food digested properly, tho
sores on my body commencea healing,
and, in less than ono month, I was cured.
Samuel D. "White, Atlanta, Ga.
I have long used Ayer's Pills, in my

My wifo and little girl wero taken with
Dysentery a few days ago, and I at once
began giving them small doses of Ayer's

Heaps of Pun.
There is a heap of iun and lots
of joy cruising over a timber claim,
with a big bundle strapped to
your back, hunting for section
lines, section corners, quarter posts
and blazes, climbing and descend
ing steep and timbered hills, cross
ing the gurgling creeks, and
getting stuck in muddy swamps,
forcing your way through" thorny
briars and brushy brambles, snag
ging shoes and tearing clothes, and
grasping devils' clubs until your
hand feels as though it had been
stuck in a hornet's nest, and tumb
ling over snags and logs and brush
until you feel as though you had
been through a sausage machine,
and then at last when night comes,
to end for a time your business
and your toil, you think with that
pack on your back, lay out a camp,
eat your rustic meal and rest under
the falling rains of heaven, with
out shelter, tired and hungry, you
snooze the snooze of a land hunter,
and dream of corner posts, and
devil's clubs, and compasses, and
mud and rain and timber, etc.
Yes, there is lots of fun going
over the timber claims of this coun
try, you bet. Aberdeen Herald.

"This copy of our paper,n writes
a Dakota editor, "is not issued
from Script city, our new county
seat, as we hoped it would be, but
about four miles from here, near
Hank Potter's place. This is
owing to the fact that in moving
our office on the wagon, where we
have had it -for the last two years
so that we might keep it as near
the county seat as possible, one of
our horses became frightened at
the noise of the job press as we
were running off some posters,
reared up, and fell and broke his
neck, thus compelling us to stop
in the road. We expect to remain
where we are till next week, when
the boys from Jumping valley
move the county seat back, when
we shall hitch our wagon to the
back end of the court house and
be towed along to civilization.
Before the Script city boys come
after the county capital, week after
next we shall have secured a new
horse and propose to keep right
up to tho procession after this.
Remember to subscribe for ttic
only county seat paper in the
county the wheels were off our
esteemed but sleepy contempo
rary's wagon six months ago, and
it has since been side tracked at
Chicago city."
Prophylactic In Sickness.
"Typhoid Fever has broken out hero

there has been no fever." M. ii. Lan

but a disinfectant a destroyer of the

cannot be breathed without danger."

Treeing Deer.
We have all heard of hunters
treeing panthers and "holeing"
foxes, but the latest in southern
Oregon is 'freeing.-deer. R. K.
Sutton reports that squire Parker
of tho station, on Linkville 'road,
came in from a hunt the other day
after raes and help, stating that he
had treed a big buck and wanted
to cut him out. He had shot the
buclr, when, to his surprise, it'took
shelter inside of an immense fir
log, which had been burned inside
until there was nothing left of it
but a shell. When the squire
came up to the open end of the log,
the 'wdunded buck made a charge
toward him, but ran back into the
dark shadow before he could shoot,
and then persistently refused to
come out and be killed. Two
men with axes succeeded in cut
ting a hole in the tree so that they
could kill the buclc, and he proved
to be one of the largest ever killed
out there. This may sound like a
good sized yarn to some of our
readers, but it is 'true. It must.be
remembered that fir trees grow
big in Oregon. E. P. Vindicator.

Announcement Extraordinary !
While I do not believe in the advertisements often used to catoh trade, such as
On account of coins out of business," removal, overstocked, etc and which ara
claptraps in most instances, as Reed business men are not overstocking, removing,
experimenting, eta, whicn in xne. ena, wania oe at ineir patrons expense. .But at
times there are circumstances which ions has no control over, such as the- unusual
wet month of June, which entirely destroys the STRAW HAT TRADE for that
month, and whereas I received eight (8) large cases of
Men's and Boys' Straw Hats,
Which are bo bulky in their nature, and for my want of store room for my new
and large assortment of MEN'S, YOUTH'S and BOYS' CLOTHING which I am
beginning to receive alone with Bow stvles in FURNISHING GOODS, HATS,
TRDNKS, TRAVELING BAGS UMBRELLAS, BLANKETS, QUILTS, eto.,
And whereas, my goods are always w
Marked in Plain Figures
And to close out these Straw Hats as soon as possible, regardless of cost, I havo
concluded to make this announcement, that on and after Monday, July lGtn, I shall
sell all Straw Hats as follows, viz:
Ail straw hats I have been selling at $2.00 for , $1.50.
