Be Careful Now
The critical period of the year, when
every family must be very care to up
hold the health of its members, is at
our doors. We mention it, because at
this time so many worthless are press
ed upon the people and praised for tbeir
medicinal virtue. The people should
put their trust in old remedies that have
stood the test of many years. The
most cormon and most deadly diseases
of this season are those of the stomach
and -of the intestines and we can assure
our readers that there is no better re
medy for them than Triner's American
Elixir of Bitter Wine. It will cure and
strengthen those organs and will make
you able to do more without exertion.
In nauzea, vomiting, constipation,
palenese, weakness, excessive sweating
and in all diseases of the alimentary
tract Triner's American Elixir of Bitter
Wine is the only reliable remedy. Re
fuse imitations, for your own benefit.

Examination Postponed
"Stuttering" Jim Smith was to have
had his preliminary examination this
morning before Justice Archer, but
was unable to secure legal advisors to
his liking at this time, and the hearing
went over until tomorrow morning.
County Attorney Rawls was present
and ready to proceed with the examin
ation but, as Smith had been unable to
secure counsel, he was compelled to
consent to an adjournment. Smith
wanted Matthew Gering as his defend
er, but Mr. Gering was out of the city
and Smith changed his mind, preferring
W. C. Ramsey, who will appear as his
counsel tomorrow. Smith was returned
to the dungeon keep, under Jailer Man
speaker's personal supervision, until
that time.
A Simple Remedy.
As there have been a number of cases
where parties have run a rusty nail in
their feet, and some of them came near
resulting in lock jaw, tha we publish the
following simple remedy for the benefit
of any future cases. The remedy is
simple, always at hand, can be applied
by anyone. What is better i3 infallible,
it is simple, to smoke the wound, any
wound that is bruised or inflamed with
a woolen cloth, twenty minutes in the
smoke will take the pain out of the
worst case of inflamation aruinj from
such a wound. People may sneer at this
remedy as much as they, please, but
when they are afflicted with 6uch wounds,
let them try it.
