W, Frsund hss sold bis stors and goods in Johnsburgh, and has decided to move to Springfield next month. The papers are warning people to look oat for the counterfeit greenbacks: Better look oot for the genuine. The beautiful snow made its appear­ ance on Sunday last bnt not in sufficient quantity to tn.ake good sleighing. There is yet a scarcity of wood in this village, a large number of families be­ ing short of - this suuch needed fuel, which in this cold weather is very disa­ greeable. Richmond correspondent- Good wood is selling for $3.75 a cord. When you feel like sighing--sing. Sighing will never pleasure bring; Learn to laugh, you can laugh and laugh right By taking Roc ̂ Mountain Tea at night. G. W. Besley. What does it mean? We hear of a certain young mart who attended an auction 011 Monday atid purchased-- what do you think? A cradle! Well, that's right, young man. With leap year bnt ft short distance away it is a wise plan to go ' 'armed and ^quipped." We have a rumor, but do not vouch for the truth of it, that a club, composed exclusively of young ladies, lias be^n" organized in this village, under the sug­ gestive title of "We Girls Society." As leap year is approaching, this means business. We shall, endeavor to keep posted and report their doings in full, so that the poor, unprotected men may be on their guard. Some miserable, sneaking cuss, with neither the fear gf God or man before his eyes, stole one day last week about one hundred chickens and thirteen tur­ keys from the barn of John Thurlwell east of |own. Of all the theives in the world a chicken thief is the lowest and the meanest, and we.wQuld like to see them caught and dealt with in a sum­ mary manner. If the law is not strong enough let one be manufactured for the occasion. If there are thbse who think tnrkeys and chickens are free plunder, it is time they were taught different. Grip Quickly Knocked Oat. "Some weeks ago during the Bevere winter weather bcth my wife and my­ self contracted severe colds which speed­ ily developed into the worst kind of la grippe with all its miserable symptoms," says Mr. J. S. Egleston of Maple Land­ ing, Iowa. "Knees and joints aching, muscles sore, head stopped up, eyes and nose running, with alternate spells of chills and fever. We began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, aiding the same with a dose of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, and by its liberal use soon completely knocked out the grip." It is a good plan to take a dose of the tablets when you have a cold They promote a healthy action of the bowels, liver and kidneys which is al­ ways beneficial when the system is con­ gested by a cold or attack of the grip.
