A PLEASANT SURPRISE
is in store for you
when you buy Doctor
Pierces Pleasant Pel
lets. If you ever took
the ordinary liver pill,

II J a good thing, espe-
coated, tiny as a mus
tard seed but very
effective. Other
things being equal,
the smallest is the
best in liver pills
hence, "Pleasant
Pellets."
If you are troubled
with Indigestion, Constipation,
Biliousness, Bilious Headaches,
and a hundred and one ills
which depend upon an inactive
liver, use Dr. Pierce's Pellets.
With these pills you get not
only temporary relief but a
positive aire; they're guaran
teed to give satisfaction in
every case, or your money
is returned.
For . fat people who suffer
from indigestion, for hearty
eaters and high livers those
whose livers are sluggish, this
pill is what is most needed.
Take a Pellet after dinner.
of the Benton charge, having been
deposed from preaching on the charge,
with his family took his departure
week ego last Monday morning. This
is a very unfortunate aflaii, not only
for the cause in which he labored, but
for the minister himself. We pity
from our inmost soul the poor victim
who fell a slave to a habit that has led
to such a step. It is hard to under
stand how people who contract bad
habits are not lowered in the estima
tion of the public generally, but when
a minister of the gospel falls in the
same habits, everybody it seems wants
to jump on him with both feet. A
minister, after all is nothing more nor
less than a tart of human nature with
all the rest of mankind. '-Charity
covereth a multitude of sins."
Harrison Wilkinson, formerly of
Town Line, met with an accident last
Thursday near Register that will most
likely prove fatal. While operating a
portable saw mill he attempted to ad

and threw it across his forehead,

set in and at this writing he is uncons

committed suicide last Friday. Hav
ing been afflicted with grippe, insanity
is thought to have caused the rash act.
Having been well blessed with this
world's goods, financial circumstances
played no part in the sad deed. It is
said that he stabbed himself in the
chest several limes, and at length cut
his throat, severing the jugular veins
with a jack knife.

Dear Editor: There was a lot of
bounty jumpers, who by sharp and
constant vigilance, were kept in the
army until they were captured and
rent to Andersonville, that notorious
place of starvation of the soldiers of
the Union 60,000 perished there.
And our pension bureaus got into very
bad shape before the advent of the
present administration. Bounty jump
ers, deserters and hospital bummers
were politely introduced into the Pen
sion Office : they were handsomely en
tertained then and walked out richer
and better with the promise and pros
pects of large installments of pension
money that amply repaid them for
their integrity to the Union, the Re
public their loyalty and bravery. The
Pension office to day is busily engaged
ascertaining these many and stupen
dous frauds, separating the chaff from
the wheat, the sheep from the goats,
and every soldier who came out with
an honorable discharge is in favor of
this thorough crucible of separatirg
the gold from the dross. The veterans
of this country ought to be justified.
It is impossible to come to this as long 1
as bounty jumpers, deserters and hos
pital bummers are faring and ranking
along with the honest soldier, who
perhaps entered the army a robust
man, and came out an invalid, or left
an arm or leg on the battle field as
trophies of their valor and victory.
A little similar to the foregoing is a
case in point. E. M. Laubach, one
of the most prominent citizens and
business men of this part of the coun
try has established a fine reputation
as pump maker ; has been turning out
fine work for years so that orders for
pumps come in from a distance, from
all points of the compass, and give
universal satisfaction. lie is the only
person by that name engaged in the
business, and has no partner. Any
one representing himself as a member
of the firm is an impostor. K.

Mrs. Sarah Parker of Williamsportj
is spending a few weeks with relatives
at this place.
LaGrippe is still very prevalent in

Mr. Eves, who is teaching a singing
class here, came around again on Tues
