They pay five hundred dollars in jO money and seven dollars a week In addition ;g for rations for his family. This ST Is raised bp !u weekly collections alter religious services.

The . u Doctor is a thorough worker in t he business of , " educating young ladies, and our people j 1 should patronize the Institution over which i he presides with dignity, and of which Abbe- , tl ville Couuty is so justly proud. The l?oeter'd is looking well and doubtless there are yet in si store for him many yours of usefulness. Possessing n natural faculty lor the conduct of a I / Koto*Ie College, twenty years of practical ex- ! j.: perlencc have eminently qualified him for his ! t| chosen profession. Mks. James Anderson of Kmlthvllle town-' 0 ship has sold this year to Mr. J. K. Riley at ,, the Greenwood Hotel three hundred and six- t| ty-:ive | nds of butter. Up to March only two cows were milked, since then four cows have, been milked. Besides the butter sold " nt the hotel, a family of live were well stippli- " ed ull the time. Mrs. Anderson does all the 1 household work herself, besides the making of the butter. This shows that there is no use C nf p>vvrty.in this sounty, and \Irs.

Dost Rem, Youn Homks.?Wc hear some ' people talk about selling llielr lands to avoid paying the Itailroad Tax. This is a mistake, flie market value of the bonds is about lifty cents in the dollar, and the assessed value of J the property In the County is over a million. If the people conclude to buy tip the bonds, it will only take live per cent of their proper- , ty as assessed by the Auditor. Suppose your home is worth one thousand dollars, It will only take IIfty dollars to pay your share of the bonds, and the County and your homes would be forever free from Itailroad tax. And to pay the interest as it falls due It will only take annually about six dollars to the thousand dollars worth of property. It is a big thing, but not half as heavy as some think.? 1'iCKcns .ycnixiii't..

The undersigned have been appointed cole agents for the sale of "MoCOSDS COLIC MIXTURE," an infallible eureifor colic in horses mules or cat tie. This preparation was patterned June ."JO, ISO!), and In the short time which has elapsed since has attained a reputation uuequaled by any patented medicine on the globe. We have In our possession testimoniias from numerous persons who have used It: I have had two occasions to use McCords Colic Mixture in cases tlint seemed desperate. The success in curing was apparently magical. it is administered without trouble or delay, is speedy In action, and I think is so valuable that every person who manages horses or mules should kecd it at hand. 1). I,. NVAKDLAW. I saw Mr. McCord use his medicine on a mare that had been travelling, and was seized with cramp colic. rhe auimai was dropping down frequently and In great pain. In a short time after the medicine was given?In ten minutes, at the farthest,?the animal was easier, and in an hour 1 ssiw the animal liarnessed and driven oM, and learned subsequently she performed the Journey and had no more colic.
