The programme was varied and interest ing, consisting of vocal and instru mental music. It may bo truthfully said tlmt Mr. Gruber, his wife and two little children, compose one of the most extraordinary combinations of musical talent in the country. We cannot describe tho many pleasing features of his performances. And, withal, ho is a native and should be liberally patronized. Those who hnvc never seen the Gruber family should avail tlieswelvo? "of the fir3t opportunity presented to do so. A PHOTOGRAPHER18 ADVICE? Au English photographer makes tho following suggestions : "When a lady sitting for a picture would com pose her mouth to a hland rnd serene character, she should, just upon entering the room, say 'bosom,' and keep the expression into which the mouth subsides until the desired effect in ihc camera is evident. If, on the other h md, she wishes to as-utn? a I. distinguished and somewhat h?hle bearing, not suggestive of sweetness, she should say 'brush,' ihc resulted which is infallible. If she wishes to \ tunke her mouth look small, she must I say -Hip,'but if tho mouth be already too small and needs enlarging, she must say 'cabbage.' If she wishes to look mourn.ul. she must say 'ker shunk;' if tVsi^no 1, shu must forcibly ejaculate 's'cat.' " THE A M El} I CA A FARMER?

According to public advertisement the rows of brick and wooden build ings in the Court House Square were sold on salcday last. The two together brought a bail t 8350. It is not known j perhaps to the public that the build ) ings combined cost the county over j three thousand dollars and were ! 'almost as good when sjld as when j they were first finished and delivered j to the county. The row of wooden : buildings was built of good lumber, i and could have been easily torn down iiiril built up into a poor bouse. The county is in need of such a building and the ones in question could have been removed at very little expense.

There is no doubt but the present condition of nil kinds of business und industry is ^fearfully depressed, und it behooves every family to look cure fully to their expenses. Winter is coming on when children are liable' to croup, whooping cough, etc. Cough and colds will prevail everywhere, and consumption, with other throat and lung diseases will carry off many. These diseases should not be neglect cd, Doctors bills are expensive, and we would advise our people to use Bosch ee's German Syrup. It never h:<s failed. One bottle at 7? cents will keep your whole family well during the winter. Two doses wil relieve any case. Sold in all towns in the United States, and by your Drug gists, Dr. A. 0. DukesT* Dr. A. C. D?KKS is giving away a handsome book entitled "Pearls for the Pec pie," containing much valuable information and many interesting articles. It also contains a history of the discovery of the "Hepalinc;" for diseases of the liver, dyspepsia, coiitispation and indiges tion, &c., and gives positive a sis ill*: ancc that when the Hepatinc is used it effects a permanent and hi-iing euro of these diseases, which prevail to such an alarming extent in bur co?'Ury Take the Hepa tine for all discuses of the liver.

Kx-Gov. Brown, of Ga., says: "If: finds the Glebe Flower Cough Syrup a most excellent remedy." Such endorsement by our great and goad men deserves the attention of the afflicted.
