BECK HcCHESNEV, IN WALKIiR'S N.N. Farmers, we are in the market for I Incrv horse People are all flocking from every direction to share in the reputed wealth. Our business has been on the boom ever since opened, both in the way of customers as well as goods. It has been a steady increase and the principle reason for the boom has been our success in mining under high prices much to the chagrin and dismay of high-priced concerns. They have had the props knocked from under them.

The public has been benefited by the change of affairs from paying exhorbitant profits to buying goods as low or lower than anywhere else in the world. We don't regret that we have sold enormous quantities of goods at small profits. If we had charged such prices as competitors are doing, and sold as much as we have, we would be just as rich as FX mi Cripple Greek Stratton! i Competitors have said we could never stand it to sell goods the way we do, and their last effort was to report us FAILED. 2 Mr. and Mrs.

O. Stewart. The I'ropcr Time when the most benefit is to be derived from a good medicine, is early in the year. This is the season when the tired body, weakened organs and nervous system yearn for a building-up medicine like Hood's Sarsaparilla. Many wait for the open spring weather and in fact, delay giving attention to their physical condition so long it a long siege of sickness is inevitable.

To rid the system of the im purities, and to purify the blood, there is nothing equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. At a meeting of the Dorcas society held February II, it was voted to di'eont imie meetings for the present, or until called together by the president. '1 reason for this action is the fact that the funds in the treasvry are very low. the society having failed to receive the proceeds which had been promised them. Irom the enteitain melit which was recently given fur "sweet The society also wishes to express its thanks to the public who so geu-eionsly patronized the entertainment, supposing it to be given to replenish the funds of the society.

A few weeks ago Fred Mullen, of Idana, arrested Homer Shannon, of Ottawa couu- ty, for stealing a horse blanket. The young fellow was sentenced to iiO days in jail for theft, and in January was liberated bv the county commissioners.
