Undigested Food.
In the stomach develops an acid
which stings the upper part of the
throat and palate, causing ‘ heart
burn.” It also evolves a gas which
produces “wind on the stomach,”
and a feeling and appearance of
distension in that organ after eat
ing. For both this acidity and
swelling Hostetter’s Stomach Bit
ters is a much better remedy than
alkaline salts, like hartshorn and
carbonate of soda. A wincglassful
of the Bitters, after or before din-
will be found to act as a relia
ble carminative or preventive.—
This fine specific for dyspepsia,
both in its acute and chronic form,
also prevents and cures malarial
fever,constipation, liver complaint,
kidney troubles, nervousness and
debility. Persons who observe
in themselves a decline .of vigor
should use this fine tonic without
delay.

WAYCROSS DISTRICT PARSONAGE.
—THE ELDER’S RESIDENCE.
Messrs Editors: I am not a
member of any church, nor am I
a brother-in-law to one, but I must
say that as an outsider, it looks
strange to me that our Methodist
friends do not get together, and by
some way arrange to renovate the
outside appearance of their dis
trict parsonage. It does not, in
its present appearance, re
flect the proper credit that
it should to the district. I hav
TO THE CITIZENS OF WAYCROSS.
Appreciating the fact that we
will not have enough money to
complete our artesian well, we, as
a committee, have been authorized
to inform the public that on June
17th another festival will be given.
Mr. L. Weiss will furnish an ele
gant supper, and we hope every
one will come forward and patron-,
ize him for the benefit of thc'*arte-
sian well. Suitable articles have
been ordered b^Messrs. Lanier &
Youmans, aq^^the same will be
disposed of as was done at the
last festival. We will need help
from the ladies of the town and
we trust they will give us their
aid and influence. Those who
will assist will greatly oblige us
by addressing the committee by
letter or in person. Let the gener
ous people come forward now and
all will be “well.”

never been inside of it, but, if
we are to judge from external ap
pearances it is a fact that it is not
receiving the attention the dis
trict should give it. I notice the
blinds and sash are in a shattered
condition, and if left alone much
longer the result will be that the
parsonage will, from exposure, de
cay and become unfit for use, and
a coat of paint would add matcri
ally. External appearance are, in
many instances, not an index to
the internal, but as a casual ob
server I throw out a hint,, and to

Editors Headlight : In the last
issue of your valuable paper, I
find what the writer, my friend.
Mr. E. McCall, times a communi
cation. I think it would require
an expert to determine whether it
was a communication or an ad
vertisement. My friend has in
vented a novel way of advertising
his sparkling soda water and fine
cigars. It is certainly a decided
departure from the established
custom which has been used so
long that the “memory of man
runneth not to the contrary.” In
his advertisement he propounds
the following question: “What
benefits do the people ofnew Way-
qross derive from town and street
taxation,” and closes the ‘ad’
thus: “This question correctly
answered by any member of the
council will be awarded a glass of
ice cold soda water and the finest
cigar I have in stock.”
I will endeavor to answer his
question, not for the puqjose of
being the recipient of his generous
offer, but simply to aid my friend
in calling the attention of the pub
lic to the fact that he can furnish
ice cold soda water and fine cigars.
When the legislature granted the
charter for Waycross, in the year
1882, a provision was inserted
therein at the instance of the S.,
E. & W. Ry. Co., prohibiting the
change of the plan of the streets
in New Waycross. Last year the
street hands were sent over to
New Waycross to work the streets
and a railroad official would not
allow them to do so, consequently
the streets remain unworked.
i I am happy, however, to inform
my friend that the Waycross
Property Committee and the town
council have about decided on a
plan by which the town will have
the streets worked without any in
terference.
With reference to the expendi-
ture of the general revenue, I will
state that I do not propose to bur
den the columns of your, paper by
giving an itemized bill of particu
lars, but if my friend will consult
the quarterly reports of the officers
of the town he will find that it is
judiciously expended in the pay
ment of current expenses, the of
ficers of the town placing it where
it is most neeeded, without any
reference *o New or Old Waycross,
Now, Messrs. Editors, having
answered the questions in the ‘ad’
I hope my friend will have a rush
in the cigar and soda water trade.

that short time, Miss Ethel had
made many Mends. Being ac

deatn was mourned as a common
loss by tne community. Just bud-
diiig into womanhood, with fair
promise of long life, it was hard to
realize that the voice we had lis
tened to was hushed in death, and
the announcement was a shock
sueli as our little town had never
before known. Kind friends min
istered to her wants, yet despite
their skill and attention death
claimed her and she passed to her
Father’s Mansion on the other
shore. The funeral services were
held on Sunday at the home made
desolate by her death, and was at
tended by almost our entire com
munity.
Miss Tompkins was a member
of the Presbyterian church, at
Lewiston, and was organist of the
Sunday school connected with the
church. Little - more than five
