If your Stomach, Heart, or Kidneys are weak, try at least a few doses only of Dr. Shoop's Restorative. In live or ten diiys only, the result will surprise you. A few cents will cover the cost.

Esch organ has its own controlling nerve. When these nerves fail, th(< depending organs must of necessity (alter. This plain, yet vital truth, clearly tolls why Dr. Shoop's Restorative is so universally successful. Its success is leading druagists every- where to Hive it universal preference.

Though nothing has been said of late about thu resurrection of the |>ublic library, still several " thinkers " have been busy with the problem. The vacancy of Will Moore's hsrnesa shop affords a suitable place fur the libraiy and reading ruoin. Mr. Moure will act ai librarian and will rent, heat and light tho place for $75.00 per' annum. We think his terms are reasonable, and everything possible should be done to upan up this vsluabla attraction once more.
