We have been hearing a great deal about blind pigs, in fact just before and after the city and village elections a great deal had been said about "another blind pig" and if we remember cor­ rectly a county paper stated that the city of Marengo was about to enter into another ' 'blind pig epidemic." Our curiosity was so much aroused that we went to see what the noise was all about, and upon my word there was no one in the whole county could tell us where we could find the much talked of "blind pig" and we came home in dis­ gust. Imagine how great was our joy on Sunday morning last when Neighbor N. D. Stevens came along and told about a blind pig right here in our town and said it could be seen on the farm of O. A. Tabor. It is there all right but our interest in blind pigs has taken a very decided slump. We had expected to see something about the size of an ox and weighing at least a ton, but this was a little wee dried up thing with both ears gone and rolling around the mud just like any other pig. It was in fact the worst looking animal of the swine family we ever saw. We have received no word from Mr. Tabox' that he will sell, but will venture to say that any one in the ,county wishing to get a blind pig can go a great deal farther and fare worse than to take this. A Woman's Awful Peril. x ' 'There is only one chance to save your life and that is through an operation" were the startling words heard by Mrs. I. B.

FROM CHOLERA DURING THE PAST YEAR. «v Thr «<Bnn* of ttils Fatal Diiwiw so* tflrk- i»K Everywhere! Thousand*! of Dollar* Saved by This Wonderful Discovery. Hundreds of thousands of dollar^ has been lost in the poultry business on ac­ count of the devastation among the flocks, caused by cholera, roup, gape, and other fatal diseases. There have been many remedies advanced, but none seem to be so successful as the Ameri­ can Poultry Mixture. This will cure chickens in jthe last stage of cholera and roup, and is excellent for gapes. Do your fowls suffer from violent diarrhea, dropping-of the wings, stupor or ex­ cessive thirst? These are the first symp­ toms of cholera. Cholera is a germ disease and being infectious spreads rapidly through the entire flock. Take time by the forelock; don't stop to ex­ periment with unreliable or untried remedies. Use this mixture at once and the sanitary measures they recommend in connection, Don't give the fowls up. Cholera is a terrible disease but this remedy cures it every time. It is also guaranteed for roup, which can be told by hoarse breathing, swelled eyes, dis­ charge at the nostrils, resembling ca­ tarrh. Fifty dollars is offered for any case the Mixture will not cure. If some of your fowls are diseased it will pre­ vent the rest from catching it. Try* it. It is cheap, reliable and effective; a sci­ entific preparation, goes more than three times as far an any other remedy; does more good than all of them com­ bined. It is used and endorsed by the most experienced and largest breeders of plain and fancy poultry in all parts of the world The manufacturers guar­ antee every package or refund purchase money.
