E. churcb was rcopeued ou (Sunday, Janu ary lL'th. The liev. Richard Ilin kle hud charge of the services preaching ou Saturday night or text, Acts, 0:0, "Lord, what will thou have tne to do?" Ou Sunday tnoruiug, Brother ilinkle preach on John 17:11. It was a sermon of power and beauty. After the sermon the trustees asked for G75 the cost of repairing the church, and received $Ci!5, at the close of morning service. In the afternoon a nieetiug of the Sun day school was held, at which time addresses were given by Hros. Ilinkle, Stewart, Cunning ham, Culviu Foster and Sheaffer. In thy evening Brother Ilinkle preached on text, James 5:11. In the eveniug service $37.30 were raised thus more than coveriug the indebtedness. The church is beautiful within. New carpet and pulpit furniture was pur chased by the women of the con gregation. The interior is finish ed in Georgia pine, and the pews nicely grained in oak. All is in harmony and a credit to the Val loy. In Bed Four Weeks With La Grippe. We have received the following letter from Mr. Boy Kemp, ol Angola, Ind., "I was in bed four weeks with la grippe and I tried many remedies and spent consid erable for treatment with physi cians, but I received no relief un til I tried Foley's Honey and Tar. Two small 'bottles of this medi cine cured mo and I now use it exclusively in my family." Take no substitutes. All dealers. Akersville. Icy roads seem to be the order of the day. The saw on ilia of the Valley are doing a rushing business. Lewis Tate our genial lumber hauler, has the contract for haul ing the logs for Barndollar's mill. Mr. 1'. V. Barton and M. P.

Some of the residents of our town say they saw a "Beaver" lust Saturday evening wandering tow ards the upjjor end of the Val ley. Some of the young men of our viciuity are taking much interest in tho singing school at Gapsville, and judging by the timo they get home it must be very interesting. A ProCtable Investment. "I was troubled for about sev en years with my stomach and in bed half my time," says E. Dem ick, Somerville, Ind. "I spent about !?l,0O aud never could get anything to help me until I tried Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I have taken a few bottles and am entire ly well." You don't live by what you eat, but by what you digest aud asHimilate. If your stomach doesn't digest your food you are really starving. Kodol Dyspep sia Cure does the stomach's work by digesting the food. You don't have to diet. Eat all you want. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure cures all stomach troubles. COURT PROCEEDINGS. The account of J. C.

"My child is worth millions to me," says Mrs. Mary Bird of Harrisburg, Pa., "yet I would have lost her by croup had I not ! purchased a bottle of One Minute i Cough Cure." One Minute Cough is sure cure for coughs, croup j aud throat aud lung troubles. An absolutely safe couglf cure which acts immediately. The youngest child can take it with entire safety. The little ones like the taste and remember how often it helped them. Every fam ily should have a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure handy. At this season especially it may be needed suddenly. Methodists are congratulating themselves on ending its calen dar year with a round 15,000,000 of their 20,000,000 thank offer ing fund. Mass meetings design ed to insure the raising of the re maining 5,000,000 are to begin in January, and are to be held in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Chi cago. In Pittsburg and other large cities no meetings are to be held, for the reason that in them the task has already been accom plished, and the cities selected are intended to be national. The speakers at all of them are to be Governors and United States Senators. The millions thus far raised will be used for strength ening existing enterprises. Iu view of all this, the man who says the church is on the decliue must rearrange his arguments. A Deep Mystery. It is a mystery why women en dure Backache, Headache, Ner vousness, Sleeplessness, Melan choly, Fainting and Dizzy Spells when thousands have proved that Electric Bitters will quickly cure such troubles.

Every year a large number of poor sufferers whose lungs are sore and racked with coughs are urged to go to another climate. But this is costly and not always sure. Don't bo an exile when Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption will cure you at home. It's the most infallible medicine for Coughs, Colds, and all Throat and Lung diseases ou earth. The first dose brings re lief. Astounding cures result from persistent use. Trial bottle free at W. S. Dickson's. Price 50c and 1.00. Every bottle guar autoed. To secure a good meadow or pasture use care iu preparing the land. Give deep plowing and then harrow the land to a fine condi tion. Use mixed fertilizer and then harrow again before seed ing. A variety of seed should be sown, as some kinds may not thrive. Tho iudigenous grasses will in time crowd out all others aud take possession. On lime stone soils blue grass and white clover shonld always be included. The pasture should not be grazed until well established, as tramp ling does more harm than mow ing. Stop It! A neglected cough or cold may lead to serious bronchial or lung troubles. Don't tako chances when Foley's Honey and Tar af fords perfect security from se rious effec'.s of a cold. Alldealers. If tho supply of hay is becom ing short tho use of mixed hay and straw or fodder will lessen the amount of hay required, but the cut food should be reinforced by adding a little more corn meal bran aud cottouseed meal to the ration. All changes of food for cows should be made gradually. When ditches or streams are crooked they do not cause incon venience in the pastures but where tho laud is cultivated they are an anuoyance when plowing or mowing. By placing tile or pipe iu the ditches, and covering them, much valuable laud may be saved and tho field work ren dered easier. The poor farmer cannot hold his ground against one who aims to improve. This is au era of "the survival of the fittest,!' even in farming, and tho farmer who believes in tho use of fertilizers will have the largest yields of crops and greater piofits, as well ! as be able to hold out against com petition on the part of other far mers. A lad was given twenty cents to buy twenty eggs at market, consisting of duck, chicken aud geese eggs. For tho chicken eggs he was to pay J cent, for the duck 2 cents, for the goose 3 cents each.

Ck0XOXOOOOO Tho desire to try everything new that is introduced sometimes leads to mistakes.
