A Surprise.
As Mr. A. F. Ingraham was haul
ing his last year's crop of wheat to
the elevator last Saturday , the 15th
ult , his father-in-law , VV. W.
Cowles , became deeply intoroHlcil
in the unloading of the last two
loads before the elevator might
clone for the night. Comrade
Co-vies left his fortrcHU unguarded ,
without a Hontinel in the block
house or upon the fort , and while
absent the Relief Corp * and com
rades of C. ( J. Washbiirno Post and
others assembled at his home to
pay him a tribute of respect and
esteem , on his dopartuto to Virgin
ia and other points in the east , fur
a visit and tour of inspection for a
year or two. To say tnat Comrade
Cowles won surprised would be butte
to put it mi'dly ' , and all thure en
joyed an evening of pleasure , The
following were prn nnt : A.V. .

J&GIREE.
A druggist in Macon , Ga. , say : "I
have sold n large quantity of Mother's
Friend , and nave never known an In
stance where it has failed to produce the
good results claimed for It. All women
agree that it makes labor shorter and lass
painful. "
Mother's Friend
is not a chance remedy. Its good effecti
are readily experienced by all expectant
mothers who use it. Years ago it passed
the experimental stage. While it alwaya
shortens labor and lessens the pains ot
delivery , it is also of the greatest benefit
during the earlier months of pregnancy.
Morning sickness and nervousness ar
readily overcome , and the liniment relaxes
the strained muscles , permitting them to
expand without causing distress. Mother's
Friend gives great recuperative power to
the mother , and her recovery is sure and
rapid. Danger from rising and swelled
breasts is done away with completely.
Sold by druralsts for $1 a bottle.
