Tho combination of ingredients found iu Ayer's Pills venders them tonic and curative as well as cathartic. this reason they are the best medicine for people of costive habit, as they restore the natural action of the bowels without debilitating. There is no more fruitful source disease than vitiated blood. It involves every organ and function of the body, and if not immediately corrected by the use of Ayer's Sar saparilla, sooner or later loads to fatal results, Bo warned in time. V learn from the Ifrrnld that a a lottci received from Mountain View, Missouri, states that Geo. W. Sohwcnk, formerly of Adamsburg, had died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Fillman, of chills and fever on Friday, Oct. 2d. Mr. Schwenk was a correspondent to the Post forma lly years ami was an able writer. Thursday evening, Nov. 1, the peo ple of Paxtonvillo and vicinity gave a donation party to Mrs. Peter Felmy. She was presented with all kinds of provisions, such as corn, wheat, flour, potatoes, apples, also calico, muslin, flannels, and ! 12.1(0 in cas h. We also noticed some parties from Middloburgh present. She re turns greatful thanks to the doners for their kindness. Dr. J. W. Brown, a former resi dent of Freeburg, has accepted a position at a salary of g3,0 a year, has left Tuseninbi-i, Ala., and is now in tho this State, making pre parations to move to Mexico iu tho spring, in which Republic, tho seme of his future fortune will bo cast.

An exchange says there is an old superstition among farmers that the date of the month added to theiium- her of the month in tho year when tho first snow falls will bo the num ber of snow-storms for the winter. If this bo true, then wo shall have thirty-eight snows this winter, tho first snow having fallen on tho ".Mh day of the Mh month. The irrepressible! young Americans made things hum in Middleburgh on "Holler-eve," as they called it. They annoyed some of our citieus to such an extent that threats of arrest were heard in many quarters, but, as us ual, nothing came of them. There is no use in getting angry with them and the most satisfactory reme dy for their deviltry is to watch your chance and scare them into fits. We desire to call tho attention of certain property owners to tho con dition of their pavements. In much frequented places we notice tin brick lying loose over the good pavement and regular duck ponds filled with water and leaves in their place. Such a condition of things should not be allowed to exist for one day. They aro tho occasion of remarks and cuss words not a few. Let these holes be repaired in the interest of town pride and good morals. Grand -pup Albright Swineford is vibrating between life and death and ho cannot last over a few days. On Monday ho asked to be carried on tho b'ick porch of his housc'for," said he, "I want to see onco more how it looks out there." Ho was taken from his bed, placed iu an easy chair and borno out to see this beautiful world onco more. Think of it. Nearly ninety-three years old! Is it a wonder that his thread of life is so nearly unwound, when tho machinery w ill stop. Ho had hoped to retain sulli cient strength to go to the polls and perforin his last du ty to his country by voting for Gen eral Harrison at Tuesday's election, as ho had vetted for his grand-father in IK 10 and for nearly every other President from James Monroo dowu to Garfield , but his strength would not permit and ho is now awaiting n call to appear before a higher tribunal, where, wo hope, his election is sure. & . b.h h a s gs-rS5 rr. -i m m 9 s nr.

Sometimes good men are defi-utod bad men elected, but let it not h forgotten that the people ulwavs even up their own mistakes sooner or later and punish those who htm deceived them. Taking the peoph of this free government in the green and in the dry, they govern them selves better than tho people are governed in any other part of tlx world, They are human ; they com mit mistakes, but on any issue of right against wrong, however thev may wobble at times, they always as surely settle dow n in favor of thi right as the quivering needle settles to the pole. Don't fret over lost battles ; trust the people and rather rejoice than complain at the glor ious uncertainty of American elec tion.
