Dr Holly was an emyloye of The Piaindealer Co. for about two years and the manager nat­ urally takes much pride in extending congratulations.

It is likely that the potato patch was covered with a snow drift. John Regner moved his family to Chicago Tuesday, where he has secured employment.

This is very appropriate as it signifies "for speaker." This reminds us that the Indian name is "Taal-leaf-own," meaning "man-who-talks-on-a-string," the ignorant Indian having no knowl: edge of wire-pulling and consequently no word for wire.

"When I bad an attack of grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," says Frank W. Perry, Editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville. N. Y. "ThiB is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoonful of this remedy, and when the coq&hing spell would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most ag- greeable surprise is putting it very mild­ ly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply be­ cause I had never tried it for such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the rem­ edy caused it to not-only be of less dur­ ation, but the pains were far less se­ vere, and | had not used the contents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu."
