take Ayer’s Pills, and you will
sleep better and wake in better
condition for the day’s work.
Ayer’s Cathartic Pills have no
equal as a pleasant and effect¬
ual remedy for constipation,
biliousness, sick headache, and
all liver troubles. They are
nugar-coated, and so perfectly
prepared, that they cure with¬
out the annoyances experienced
in the use of so many of the
pills on the market. Ask j'o'ur
druggist for Ayer’s Cathartic
Tills. When other pills won’t
help you, Ayer’s is
THE PILL THAT WILL.
Advertise your business,
Don’t worry.
Our farmers are urged to cheer
up. ■ i'lioy have lost some fodder,
soi vo corn in places and a little
cotton, but they should not let
thi i cause them to close their eyes
to the fact that the land is filled
wit h plenty. The Lord has smiled
up 01 this section year after year;
bounteous crops have been made
and husbanded with hardly an ex¬
ception within our memory.. All
this should be borne in mind
him who walks about with a long
fat e predicting dire distress and
fearful calamity. Such talk does
far more injury than the rains
and storms have done and is to he
deplored wherever heard.
The country is allright and will
continue to grow better daily if
we can hold the calamity
in check.
JNo Reason For Ii.
There is not a populist in the
county who can give a good sound
reason tor the existence of his par¬
ty in this county or State. As a
National party it has no earthly
chance taking the tight alone, and
it is National evils it claims tode
eiioto wipeout. So far as this
State and county is concerned tin
populists have no special grievance
other than conies naturally lie
cause of continued defeats. They
desire office and can't get it as
populists, hut they would, and in
the past did, mu no good demo¬
crats. As such they w.ould heat
perfect liberty to run for office.
They are damaging now chasing a shadow
which is to them, dnn
gt rous for their posterity and ex¬
pensive to democracy. If they
ait' wise they will return to the old
party and resume their former
good standing.
