Somerset oounty, this state, is
moving in the matter of circulating
petitions to obtain Ave per oent of
the voters to submit to the voters of

three commissioners to perform the
dutios of the board of freeholders.
The Hunterdon Republican says "It
will not be many years, we bolieve,
before most counties la the state
have adopted the act and substituted
the smaller and less expensive
boards of freeholders." It is safe to
say that a board consisting of three
members would not be putting here

being done in this oounty and the

pieces will be connected.

farmer places his capital and labor
against weather and if that remains
as it has been this season he loses.

this remedy is used, for no doctor
can proscribe a better medicine for
bowel complaint in any form eithor
for children or adults. It never
fails and is pleasant to take. For
