Cupid Finally Gels Start.
After taking a rather lengthy vaca
tion, Cupid seems to have at last
again gotten "into the running," and
as a remit he seut in one order to
County Clerk Cheshire. But there
was somewhat of a bitch about the
affair, before the coveted document
was finally procared. The happy
couple hailed from Kerby, Lester L
Sohleigh, aged 19 years, a native of
Anderson, Cal, and Hattie V Wimer,
aged 18, a native of Applegate, Jose
phine roaoty. The young man.
brought along the written oonsent of
his parents, bat when It came to
finding some on to identify the young
lady, as the law requires, there was
another hitch. Bat at length the dis
appointed con pie returned home,
where the necessary papers were made
out and forwarded to Clerk Cheshire,
who at once sent tbesa the desired
document.
Tax Money Now Rolling In
Owing to some misunderstanding
the printer failed to have the tax re
ceipts ready and so, when Mr. Jndson
turned la the rolls, last Thursday
there waa "nothing doing" in the
office of Sheriff Russell, who is ex
officio tax collector. Bat the neces
sary blanks were In readiness by
Tuesday of this week and now the
people all over the county are turning
their annual stipends into the county's
voffers.
Deputy Walt Smith informed the
Courier that the taxpayers were com
ing to hand very promptly and that be
thought that this year's collections
would be probably nearly as good as
thosn of last season, in spite of the
dull timet,

MAKES LIFE' MISERABLE
Trouple That Keep Half the
Grant Pas Doctor
Busy
Half of the prescriptions the Grants
Pass doctors write are for trouble
that result directly from a weakened
stomach. Strengthen the stomach
muscles, increase the secretions of
gastric Juices, and yon will find that
common affliction indigestion, with
its head aches, dlssiness, depression
of spirit, spots before the eyes, ner
vousness, sleepleseuess and general
debility have been overcome.
From now 'on build up the strength
and health of the stomach with Mi-o-na
tablets. Ton wi 1 soon find
y out self strong and nete'r know the
meaning of IndigeHiou.
If Mi-o-na did not have an unusu
ally curative effect in stomach dis
orders, it could not be sold on the
guarantee given by Denmray to refund
the money nnless it ooe all that is
o'aimed for It. Ha siv a an absolute,
unqualified guarantee with every 50
cent box of Mi-o-na that th money
will be refonded nnless the medicine
oures. He takes the whole risk, and
you certainly can afford to get Miona
