IT AIN'T A FELLER’S FAULT.
If a feller Dels like drowsin’ in tins
weUher, let him drowse!
Go dreamin’ with ihe iLi.-fiea, or loafin’
with the cows,!
If rise weather makes liim tired, it is
time to call a halt,
Fer the good Lord made the weather,
an’ it ain’t a feller’s fault!
If a feller feels like fishiiP ii this
weather—let him lisli—
Stretched nut there by the river where
the winds an’ waters swish !
If the weather’s kind o’ fishy, it is time
to call a halt,
Fcr the stood Lord made the weather,
•in’ it ain’t a fellex-’s fault!
Thar’s sicli a joy in freedom—when a
feller wants to be
As natural as a daisy or a bird a Ilyin’
free,
That I’m always full in favor, of bis
callin’ of a halt,
Far the good Lord—he made de
freedom, an it ain’t a feller’s fault.

recently been on a visit to Law

some sections along the road is
dying from the effects of the hot
sun. It is not the rust but heat

The Mount Lebanon Shakers
have recently perfected an in¬
genious cure for dyspepsia.
Their Digestive Cordial consists
of a food already digested and a
digester of fools happily com¬
bined . The importance of this
invention will be appreciated
when we realize what a propor¬
tion of the community are vic¬
tims of stomach trouble. Thous¬
ands of pale, thin people have
little inclination to eat, and what
they do eat causes them pain
and distress. This Digestive Cor¬
dial of the Shakers corrects any
stomach derangement at once.
It makes thin people plump.

which has been placed in the

Are you taking Simmons Liver Reg¬
ulator, the “King op Liver Medi¬
cines?” That is what our readers
want, and nothing but that. It is the
same old friend to which the old folks
pinned their faith and were never dis¬
appointed. But another good recom¬
mendation for it is, that it is better
than Pills, never gripes, never weak¬
ens, but works in such an easy and
natural way, just like nature itself, that,
relief conies quick and sure, and one
feels new all over. It never fails.
Everybody needs take a liver remedy,
and everyone should take only Sim¬
mons Liver Regulator.
Be sure you get it. The Reel Z
is on the wrapper. J. H. Zeiliu &
