The masque ball was well attended last Friday evening and was a social, if not a financial^ success Christian Endeavor meetings are still held Sunday evenings altho the attend­ ance the past two evenings has,.been small. It certainly seems »a tho more are interested in the work than the attendance would denote. Come all and show encouragement by your pres­ ence. Much interest is being shown in the location of a condensing factory here. Reliable parties were here Monday looking over the proposed,site and a considerable amount of bonus has been promised by those most interested. The factory is greatly needed, as the build­ ings of the Farmers' Co-opgrative do not warrant further repairs, and in the present condition satisfactory work can not be done. The locat ion of a condens­ ing factory means to this community just as much as it has proven to others. It means a much greater income to the farmer and a raise in the value of all property near. While unreliable par­ ties have been here before and have caused a lack of confidence in the suocess of such industry the parties now negotiating are of good standing. Our bnisness men are doing nobly in the amounts they are subscribing and it will be uo fault of theirs if the factory is not a certaintv. voLa Valentines at Peteach's. Wm. A.

MMMHMNMNNif Heart diseases which a few years 1450 were incurable now rapidly yield to treatment. Short breath, pain in the side, oppression in the chest, palpita­ tion, smothering spells, weak or irregu­ lar pulse, puffing of the ankles or drop­ sy. whether complicated with stomach, liver and nervous troubles or not, can be speedily relieved and soon cured. Dr. Miles will give a #2.50 course of treatment free, to prove the truth of his statement. His treatments have the great advantage of being specially prepared to suit each patient. These Treatments are the result of 25 years of close study, careful research and extraordinary success. They are far in advance of the medicines used by the ordinary doctor and few show such faith in their remedies. Every sufferer should take advantage of this opportu- nity'lefore it is too late. Hon. John Gates, Ex-Representative ,of J?vva. after 10 years of .suffering from heart, stottiiieh and bladder troubles, says: "I lose no '>}>Porlunit(y to advocate Dr. Miles' Special Treatment. I am better now than for ten ye'U's. which I attribute solely to his skillful lll'ilt llU'llt." Sirs. Mary A.
