Even after a rough cough has appeared the disease may be prevented by using this remedy as directed. It has never been known to fail. 25 cent, 50 cent and $1 bottles for sale by C. E.

History says that Mr. Stevens "re ceived a school order for $C7.t."i, his pay being at the rate of $1 per day, and he is honored by being the first school teacher and a faithful one." He was far in advance of that time, says ono of our older citizens, and advocated many method of instruction that have since been adopted by educators. We know that he was an enthusias tic lover of young people, and an ardent advo cate for every practical means for their mental improvement. An honest man, ono hating shams and hypoc risy of all kinds, and loving good, honast. plain people, has gone from among us.
