I If your liver does not act reg- I
| olarly go to your Iniggiit and I
B secure a package of Thedford's I
i | Black-Draught and take a dose I
tonight. Ibis great tamiiy
medicine frees the constipated
bowels, stirs up the torpid liver
and causes a healthy secretion
of bile.
Thedford's Black - Draught
; will cleanse the bowels of impurities
and strengthen the kidneys.
A torpid liver invites
colds, biliousness, chills and
fever and all manner of sickness
and contagion. Weak kidneys
result in Bright's disease
which claims as many victims
as consumption. A SA-cent
Sickage of Thedford's Blackraught
should always be kept
i in the house.
"I used Thedford's Black
Draught for livar and kidney comi
plaints and found nothing to excel
it."-WILLIAM COFFMAN, Mar>

jj THE STOCK LAW CASE.
| Parties Interested <n th^ 3ig Pasture
Will Carry the Matter to Supreme
Court.
As has already been stated the
: case of WB McColloagh et vs (
! the County of WiHiamsbcrg, involving
the of the
Aegjalitjve Acts exempting Sattons, ,
Anderson and h part of Penn town*
I ships from the operation of tiie gen- ,
.'stock law, which came up before ]
: Judge Watts at the last terra of
J court was decided against the ,
county and the county commissioners
and the coanty treasurer
, thereby restrained from levying and
collecting the necessary taxes to
build aui repair th2 puturs fsa33s
in the exempted territory.
Now it seems that the parties interested
in the maintenance of the
pasture fence dissatisfied with ]
Judge Wat's' construction of the 1
law and will further test the matter. I
A meeting of the stock-owners of
' the pasture was held Monday and it
. was determined to carry the case to 1
the supreme court. Whatever may j
be the final outcome this course of j
action will at least delay the break
iug up of the pasture Until the case
his been disposed of in the higher ^
'J tribunal. ^

f Concjrr.lng .ounty Claims.
r There is considerable complaint
} on the part of holders of county
' claims on account of their not being H
k abie to get the claiuia cashed.
The only way to realize on tneni is ^
" to get the bank to cash the claims s
1 at a uiscount. As the taxes are be- s
r J
ing collected daily there is or should *
be ?i plenty of money in the treasu
ry to meet county claims ana it isi
not surprising that people are com- j1
plaining. t
! We have made inquiry about the i
* matter and Supervisor Graham int
forms us that this condition is
t owing to the fact that since the j
5 death of Mr R D Rollins there has j
? been no settlement between the }
treasurer's office aud the eomptiollei t
. general and this accounts for the 1
?j non-payment of claims. In fact, the
t J supervisor says he had to borrow t
j money from the bank to de- I
. j fray the expenses of the recent tern
n of court, i
We are authorized to say that j'
there is money enough in the treasury
to meet all outstanding indebt
edness, and that after January 1
next the county treasurer will be
empoweied to meet all approved
claims presented, whether or not the
settlement with the comptroller gen- j
eral be made by that time. 1
