DONT THINK
that every sad-eyed woman you
meet has loved and lost; perhaps
she loved and not him. or perhaps
her husband is so stingy that he
won’t let her buy that nice piece
of Furniture or China that \V. V.
Humphries & Co. have in their
new store. Our store has been
open only about two weeks and
we are glad to say that we are
very much pleased at the liberal
patronage we have received so
far. Quality of goods with the

you that we have both. Remem
ber that we do not handle Furni
ture alone. We have in stock a
good line of Stoves, Trunks, Mat
tings, Rugs, Crockery, China,

We believe thoroughly in
advertising. To prove it
we are going to use this
space for our own pur
poses. We have advertis
ing space to sell, and we
know it will pay a good
return upon the price we
charge for it if it is prop
erly used. Our paper goes
into the best homes in this
community. It has been
going week after week and
year after year until each
issue is welcomed as an old
friend of the family.
The news it brings is
news of neighbors, of per
sonal affairs in which all
have more or less of a com
mon interest. If one of our
readers called upon you, a
merchant, you would do
the best you could to con
vince him that what you
had for sale was the best
he could buy. You would
show him the new things
you had got in recently.
You would tell him why
he should have them and
why they were better than
^•hecould procure elsewhere.
* You probably would make
a sale.
Your effort, howerer, would be con
fined to one person.
You could tell the same
story just as effectively to
every reader of This paper
in each issue.
You do not believe it
would have the same ef
fect?
If you told the story
in the same way it would.
We axe ready
to do our part to prove it Do you
care to try it?

SaTi'tary Km t after consulting wit'.,
(lenrral Yonni;. the chief of stall of .lie
army, recently cal led n private soi lier
theix* to Rend in bis application for hon
orable discharge and it would be favor
ably considered by the department,
pays the Washington correspondent of
the Phibidelpl iji Public Ledger. Near
ly nil sueli applications have been per
emptorily refused by the department
owing to the difficulty of getting men
to go to the Philippines and the in
creasing number of desertions.
The young soldier in question is a
member of a prominent Kentucky fan,
ily and is engaged to the daughter of u
neighbor, a well to do citizen. The
young man failed to get a commission
and determined to enlist, believing that
be could giT a commission from the
ranks, as so many have done. He failed
to do so and saw that he had made a
mistake in his choice of a career. 1! *
wanted to come home, marry his sweet
heart and start in a new career, but
his application for a discharge was re
fused. When tlie young woman learn
ed that there was no hope of liiR com
ing home before Ids time was out s'.: •
announced her intention of going to the
Philippines, marrying him and sharing
with him the hardships of his life
there. Her father in a panic wrote to
Senator James H. McCreary, stating the
case, assuring the senator that he could
not control his daughter and saying
that her rash determination must be
thwarted at any cost. The senator
posted to the war department as so. :i
as lie got the letter and laid the matter
before Secretary Root. The secretary
deliberated for awhile and called in
General Young, and they read the let
ter together.
“We’re not granting discharges,” said
the secretary slowly, “but this seems to
be a case where we can’t help it.”
“And it is a ease of such urgency that
it demands the use of the cable instead,
of the mails,” said General Young.
“This young woman seems very deter
mined. She might not wait.”
Whereupon the cablegram was sent,
and at the same time Senator McCrea
ry telegraphed ids friend in Kentucky
that ids daughter need not go.
PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
An Oild l!untintr Accident.
A remarkable hunting accident took
place in the forest of Bambouillet re
cently. The Duchess d’Uzes hunts in
the forest twice a week. The Paris
correspondent of the Newcastle Chroni
cle states that on this occasion a stag
which had been put up was in full
.light when suddenly the Duchess de
Luyues appeared riding leisurely just
in the terrified animal’s front. Think
ing only of escape from its pursuers,
the stag instantly sprang to vault over
horse and rider, but caught the duch
ess, carrying her from the saddle and
falling with her, while the horse bolt
ed. Fortunately the soft turf broke the
fall, and the duchess, on the approach
of the hunt, was able to rise with a
laugh and none the worse. A similar
accident happened to the king of Eng
land at Compiegne twenty-live years
ago.

RYDALE’S TONIC
A REAL CURE FOR
It has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
; bv means of the blood. This fact ex
plains why Malaria is bard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinine,
Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale’s Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels, freein"
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. It also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. It drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
aud makes it rich and healthy.
RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood
builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria
destroyer. Try it, it will not disap
point you.
