Don't worry. Do the best you can, And let hope conquer care. No more is asked of any man Than be has strength to bear. The back is fitted for the load; Your burdens all were planned ; And if yon sing along the road Kind Fate will lend a hand. Don’t worry. Fortune is a dame You have to woo with amiles, Whate’er her mood you must not blame Nor criticise her wiles. Trust God in shadow and in sun And luck will come your way, But never since old Time begun Has worry won the day. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox. H. C. Burr spent yesterday in Mu eon. Roswell H.

Catarrh Cannot bs Cured By LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Ca tarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take in- * temal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall’s Ca- ’ tarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physi cians in this country for years, and is a 1 regular prescription. It is composed of the Ko>t tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces.

Tbe time to give back tbe captured battle flage'has come. Ohio wants no longer the trophies staken from her sister states so long ago. She would rather restore them once more into tbe bands and tbe tender care of those who first bore them aloft, as a token of love for her sister commonwealths whose defeat in war baa long since been turned into a victory of peace and plenty. Ohio, standing at tbe gateway to the south, and between whom and the south there exists an intimacy and a friendship precious and dear to each, should be tbe first state to lake such action as is hers suggested. Tbe achievements of Ohio in t>e civil war constitute an illustrious and imperishable page in tbe history of our common country, but no setion of hers in that great epoch will stand out brighter and more splendid .than that of giving back the flags she has won -Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. ■r® turo c-mMuo. rmTtt.

BASS BROS.’. Kinks in the Tax Law. ■ There has been some talk of appeal* ing to the Interstate Commerce Com* mission for relief on interstate busi ness in the event that the Georgia Railroad Commission holds that on business done within the boundaries of the state the express and telegraph companies cannot exact the stamp from their patrons. The Georgia Railroad Commission has jurisdiction over both this class of corporations. At its bearing on next Tuesday some able arguments are ex* pected on the intent and declaration of the law as regards the tax on telegrams and express receipts. The decision of the Georgia commission will be await* ed with much interest, as it may af* feet action in other stales having simi lar bodies. In Texas the railroad commission ordered express compa nies not to collect the lax from the shippers, but almost immediately af* terward withdrew its order, having conekided that it had no jurisdiction in the matter. Up in North Carolina one of the railroad commissioners sent a telegram to the office. It was refused, because there was not 1 cent accompanying it for the stamp. Word was then sent to the telegraph office that if the mesa sage was not sent suitwould be insti* toted for damage. The operator con* ferred with headquarters by wire and received instructions to send the mes sage. North Carolinians are wondering • whether this is an acknowledgement ■ of the fact that the telegraph compa nies should bear the tax, or was mere* ■ ly a recognition of the power of the . railroad commissioner to make it in* teresting in other ways for the compa ' nies.

Thomas, of Marysville, Tex., has found a more valuable dis* covery than has yet been made in the Klondike.For years he suffered untold ; agony from consumption, accompa* nied by hemorrhages; and was abso* i lutely cured by Dr. King’s New Dis covery for Consumption, Coughs and ' Colds.
