Bieii ia life. A perfectly sound body and a mind unimpaired are p risible only with pure blood. Loading medical an'horiiiei indorse Ayer's Sarsaparilla as the best blood purifying medicine in exist ence. It vastly increases the working and productive powers of both band and brain. One of our citizens asked another, “what i3 an epoch?” “It is,” replied the other, “a dead calm—a state of quietude—rest.” It this definition be comer, Homer Enow passing through an “epoch.” The dreamy quietude of the place remind* one of the remark once made by Pat O'Connor, that if a man wants to got to Heaven easy, h® ought to come to Homer in the spring time, whin nothing 1 disturbs him bat tne tar away ge Imw of tba •11 auco man. *** The picnic season is upon ml hear of tievi.ml liKvins; already takeu | p!a-‘o in <nh*-r counties.
