President McKinley may be all right, bur he h<« about him people who are all wrong. These people are evidently much more anxious to see the door of speculation and jobbery held wide open than to see tbe end of a conflict whose burdens must be berne by all of the people for the ben efit of a few of the people.—Brunswick Times - ' ' ■ 3 Is the Best Remedy on the - Market for Babies, Children = |, and Adults. |lt Aids Digestion, ■ * Regulates the Bowels, Cures Cholera Infantum, = = Cholera Morbus, Diarrhcaa, | Dysentery, Teething Children, E ’ ...
