We are trying to avoid printing
duns in the paper as much as pos
sible, and for the third time in
three months have sent out state
ments by mail this week. Those
who receive them will please give
llicm their early attention. The
fact that very many of our sub
scribers have not paid for their pa
pers during the past year, and
;wtiie not for several years, com
pels tis to call attention to the
matter.
Calendars For 1999.
We still have a number of calen-
Iars to give to our subscribers who
will call for them. On receipt of a
two-cent postage stamp we will
mail to any address in the county.

Advice to
Consumptives
There are three great reme
dies that every person with
weak lungs, or with consump- t
tion itself, should understand.
These remedies will cure
about every case in its first
stages ; and many of those
more advanced. It is only
the most advanced that are
hopeless. Even these are
wonderfully relieved and life
itself greatly prolonged.
What are these remedies ?
Fresh air, proper food and
scon's Emulsion
of Cod-Liver Oil with Hvpo
phosphites. Be afraid of
draughts but not of fresh air.
Eat nutritious food and drink
plenty of milk. Do not forget
that Scott's Emulsion is the
oldest, the most thoroughly
tested and the highest en
dorsed of all remedies for
weak throats, weak' lungs and
consumption in all its stages.

The Millville Tablet has the fol
lowing to say about D. F. Herring
who moved here last week: "In his
removal Millville loses a citizen
whom all regret to see go. He
served a term as postmaster with
honor to himself and to the satisfac
tion of the patrons. The places
filled by himself and family will be
hard to replace, both in the M. E.
church, of which they are members,
and in the community in general.
But what is Millville's loss is
Bloomsburg's gain, and since they
must go the Tablet with a host of
others wish them all abundant suc
cess." Time is Up!
