JOHN UK BEFORE CODRT.
On a charge of outselling all other Grocers,
The Jury after the full inyestionof all
evidence find him guilty and sub
mit the following verdict \
We, the jury sworn to investigate the charges against
Mr. Middlebrooks, beg to say that we find that he is the only
man in town who can till your orders for everything in the
grocery line. We find that he has a strictly new stock, polite
and attentive clerks and prompt delivery. We find that quick
sales and short profit is his motto. We also find that he
handles the very best of everything and guarantees satisfac
tion both in quantity and quality, We therefore find that
Mr. Middlebrooks is guilty of the charges against him.
DECISION OF THE JUDGE.
After hearing the evidence set forth and the verdict of the jury, I cannot
do otherwise than sentence Mr. Middlebrooks to success, for his enterprising
spirit and reccommend that the Court and Jury meet the public at his place
of business and reap the benefit Of his low prices and best goods.
P. S. The Jndge has since added to the above charge: “I also ask, that if
any of you owe the said Mr. Middlebrooks for Groceries, that you call around and
pay him at once, for he can’t continue business unless you pay for what you have
already bought.”

Nowadays when women are trying
to do everything it is not strange that
many things are over done. It is not
strange that there are all kinds of phy
sical and mental disturbances. If
the woman who is a doctor, or a law
yer, or a journalist, or in business
would not try to be a society woman
too it might be different; but the wo
man who knows when, she has done a
days work has yqt to be born.
Usually a woman’s way is to keep do
ing until she drops. Working in this
way has manifold evils. The most
common trouble resulting from over
exertion, either mentally or physically
is constipation of the bow els, with all
its attendant horrors.
I)r. Pierce's PleasantjPellets are the
most effectual remedy in the market.
They work upon the system easily,
naturally. There is no unpleasant
nausea after taking them. No griping
no pain, no discomfort. They are
composed of naterials that go through
the system gradually, collecting all
impurities and, like the gopd little ser
vants that they are, disposing of them
effectually.
