there will be no excuse for any

Cure for Rheumatism.
One pint of whiskey, one oz.

well before taking. Dose, one
tablespoonful in a glass of water
every morning before breakfast.
This is a sure cure for tho most

rheumatism if taken according
to directions. It is such a simN

why there should be so many
sufferers from this painful dis
ease when the remedy is at their

At the Opera House. <
We had the pleasure of wit
nessing an exhibition in magic
at the Opera House on the night
of March 24th, by Mr. L. Water,
a master in the art. The audi- j
ence was considerably smaller
than the fine character of the
extiibition warranted, for the
performance was certainly fine.
Mr. Water employs no assistants,
and does not seem to need any,
as every feature of a long and
varied programme went off with
out a hitch. The applause was
loud and frequent, and those
who missed this show suffered a
loss. We hope to have Mr. Wal
ter with us again, when we hope
bo wUJ lace a larger audienos.

This splendid oirous save two per

pleased, and, we might say, delighted.
The special features of the entertain
ment were, as we saw them, the Mel
lette family of aeriallsta and riders,
their acrohatio performance being
especially fine. Ed. Mellette, bead
oalanoing on the trapeze. Parry I*a
Sage's bounding rope act was the finest
we erer saw, while Prof. Hall's dogs
almost made one believe that a dog
must|have at leant a little bit of a
soul. We must not fall to make men
tion or Hecekiah, the kicking mole.
Heel is a wonder in the kicking line,
and evoked tremendous applause.
Taken all in all. the llarns show w?*

Bacteria Discovered.
We learn that at the request
of several citizens of the White
Pond section, Dr. ? . Schnedsek
esky, representing the National
Board of Health visited W hite
Pond last weekend carried away
a sample of the water for analysis.
We are just in receipt of his re
port which states that in his op
inion the water was but recently
polluted. That a strange species
of bacteria had been disclosed
un^er analysis, and that only at
the regular bathing place. He
concludes his report with a
warning to all not to bathe at
that particular spot for at least
six months. It seems that this
bacteria is never found but on
the human body, so if that is the
case others must have been bath
ing in White Pond besides Sam
and Jake, fo' dem is sho clean

Ai we have previously stated, it fs

Well, on this occasion, as on several'
others when Sam and Jake met as usual'
In Camden, their conversation turned
on our eaitoriala and other matter in
??The People" of the aame week.
This time Sam had It in for Jake
ri^ht. and accosted him with:
"Oh yss,ya blame Sniggabl Didn't I
fer tell yu 'bout lettln* dat boy ob
your'n go out at night? Ob op's I is,
an' now yu see wha' Cap'n Schrock
bab ter say 'bout him. Why, man, dat

"Data rite, Jake; an' when my risln*

den I cain't go wrong. But, say, Jake,
is yu see where cotton gone? Hit gone

Another Request.
A couple of weeks ago we re
quested our friends to come for
ward and assist us in our plan to
enlarge and in other ways im
prove "The People," and we are
glad to see that they did not take
it in bad part, but in quite a num
ber of instances responded cor*
dially. But the responses were
not so numerous as to justify us
in making the change that we
we have in contemplation, so we
ask you now, friends, to give
this subject a thouarht; and while
we are aware of the fact that
some of you have not all of the
money due on our books, we do
not really think we have a sub
scriber who cannot pay us some*
thing now, and the balance later
on.
There is an old, and in this in
stance true, saying that "many
a mickel makes a muckle," so
come on, my friends, and let us
see if between us we cannot suc
ceed in making that "muckle."
Wei will do our part if you will
do yours.
