Indications are that Richard !?

We are reliably informed that
the thrivingtown of Andrews, and
considerable contiguous territory
besides, desires to l>e annexed to
Williamsburg, and that at an early
date the preliminary steps will l>e

We shall be glad to welcome
these good people into our county
and hope that their wishes may
soon be consummated.
An Angry Tree.
In Idaho is a species of the acacia
tree that a writer in Harper's Weekly
says is entitled to be classed as one
of the wonders of plant life. The
tree attains a height of about eight
feet. When full grown, it closes its
leaves together in coils each day at
sunset. When the tree has thus setad
ifonlf for ifo nitrKfclo^n if will
klVU IU7V.11 AVk 1W 411511V wivvf/ iv >f lit
flutter violently if touched, and if
the branches be shaken a nauseating
odor strong enough to bring on a;
headache will be emitted.
In Idaho it is called the "angry
tree," and it is said that it was discovered
by some men who were
making a camp for the night and
placed one end of a canvas covering
over one of its sensitive brashes to
use it as a support. Immediately
the tree becran to ierk its branches
sharply. The motion continued with
increased "nervousness," until at
last there came a sickening odor
that drove the tired men to a more
hospitable camping-place.

Why the Fly Is Dangerous.
For each female fly hatched in;
April there will be, if none of her
progeny are killed, 7,600,000,000 in
* September of the same year.
Every fly is a possible carrier of
disease on his hairy little feet.
He delights in cesspools, decaying
animal and vegetable matter, barnyards,
offal heaps, garbage barrels,
etc,places where disease germs abide

But he likes to vary his diet ?
fresh meat, sugar, bread?anything
that humans eat the fly also likes.
He dearly ioves to frequent the
kitchen and dining-room of his human
friends at their meal time, and
he lunches on all kinds of filth between
those meals.
Every time he leaves the swill
barrel or the cess pool for the kitchen
or the dining-room he carries
with him on his feet some of the
filth on which he has just been walk

Swat, therefore, the voracious fly,
or, better still, swat all you see; but
keep from seeing many by starving
them to death by keeping all their
food supply in the stable, cesspool,

safely and securely covered up.

At the conclusion of an article on
"The Poultry Business," in the current
issue of Farm and Fireside, appears
the following:
"The four corner-stones upon
which the success of the poultry
business depends are: (1) suitable
buildings properly located, 02) the
right foods skilfully fed, (3) good
fowls carefully bred,(4) facility and
ability to hatch and rear chickens.

FROM CONSTIPATION.
The Remedy That Replaces Calomel?
Causes No Restriction of
Habit or Diet.
It is a mistake to take calomel
when your liver is lazy and needs
toning up. Hundreds of people in
this section have discoverd that Dodson's
Liver Tone is a thousand times
better and safer, and its action is
just as sure. There are none of the
bad after-effects of calomel to Dodson's
Liver Tone and no danger of
salivation.
For attacks of constipation or biliousness
one or two spoonfuls of this
mild,pleasant tasting vegetable liquid
are enough and Dr W V Brockington
gives a personal guarantee that ev?
Ha nil that is claimed

for it. Money back in any case where
it fails.
Dodson's Liver Tone costs only 50
cents for a large bottle. Remember
the name because there are any number
of remedies sold in imitation of
Dodscn claims. Some of them have
names very similiar to Dodson's Liver
Tone?and are in same color package.
These imitations are not guaranteed
and may be very harmful.
