In Feeble Health Unable to do Her Work — Nervous and Tired—All These Troubles Cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. * “ For the past four years I have been in feeble health, and for two years past, owing to change of climate, I have not been able to do my work. I was nervous and had a tired feeling and was under the treatment of physicians, but I continually grew worse. My husband insisted on my trying Hood’s Sarsaparilla and I finally consented, and began taking it the first of June, 1896. The first bottle did me so much good that I continued with it, and after taking four bottles and one bottle of Hood’s Pills I am able to do my work, and the tired, nervous feeling is entirely cured/' Mbs. 6.

Was Appointed Several Days Ago Will Take Charge February First. Col. Henry P. Farrow has been nom inated by the President to be post master at Gainesville. The nomination will perhaps be confirmed in a few days by the senate, as it is not believed that there will be any further fight on the Colonel. The appointment came as a surprise to Colonel Farrow as he had not ex peeted it until next week, or later. He has all along felt satisfied that he would be appointed, but he thought it would be several days before the nom ination would be sent to the senate The appointment was even made be fore Col. Walter Johnson, who had gone to look after it, together with several other matters, reached Wash ington. The city republican executive com mittee was in session at the time Col Farrow was notified by wire of his appointment, and resolutions were at once adopted thanking those” who had stood up to the Colonel in his fight and condemning those who had op posed him. Colonel Farrow does not know when he will take charge of the office here but he does not think he will go in be fore the first of February. His ap pointment must be confirmed, his bond signed and approved, and his commis sion forwarded, which will perhaps take until the first of next month. Judge Winburn will then retire, after a successful term as postmaster. Officers Installed. Stephenson Lodge No. 26, Knights of Phythias, installed the new officers of the lodge Wednesday night.
