The Times thin 'week prints the
principal pnrt of tho presentment of
thb York county Kraml Jury- to the
court th session In- York last week
It Is a"'ptn>llc document -wnll -worth
the time It will take to rent! it. Two
points bat>ecli)lly In the -report are..'
i o( peculiar Interest. There has been,
as the' grnnd jury suggests. entirely
too much money 'spent for officials
In supervising the work on the public
roads and too little for labor to
do the work. There will-be a difference
of opinion: of course, as fn the
wisdom of the-body's suggestion for.
the repeal of the provision-1 of theprohibition
law permitting the -nVtemaflye
of -n' money fine -Instead of a
straight prison' sentence for violators
of the law. ^ " - :An

lency of Tbrdford's Black-Draught, the
r^.ulne, herb, llvor medicine, ia
vouched for by Mr. W. N. Parsons, a
rrocer cf this city. "It Is without
dovibt.the best liver medicine, and I
don't believe I could get along without
It. I take it for sour stomach, headache,
bad liver, indigestion, 'and all
ether troubles that are the result of
a torpid liver.
"I have known and used it for years,
and can and do highly recommend It
to etery one. I won't go to bed without
it in the house. It will do all It
claims to do. I can't say enough for
It."
( Many other men and women throughcut
the country have found BlackDraught
Just as Mr Parsons describe n
?valuable in regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and in cleansing
tb* bowels of impurities.
