Tbe Intense interest taken in the almost miraculous 'cures made by Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy at Athens, N. and other places, resulted In the Albany, N. Y. Journal sending a special representative to Athens to investigate tbe cases, and It was found that many of the cures made by this medicine were simply wonderful. In itie cases of Mr.

Lewis Clow, who h'td chronic kidney disease, Mrs. Casper Brooks from female troubles ami kidney disease, ai.d Mrs Wm. Tiffany, who suffered from general prostration, all of these cases were abandoned by their attending physicians. Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy was then used by them and in every case an absolute cure was effected.

Mr. C. E. Bartholomew, Kalkaska, Mich, writes: "Dr. Oavid Kennedy's Favorite Remedy saved my life when I was a victim of Bright's disease." "1 bad been troubled since 186'V writes S.

Arnold, of Rochester, N. "with gravel and catarrh of the bladder. Tried several doctors, but got no relief. Finally I used Dr David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy The result was using a few bottles I was entirely cured." If yod want Overcoats readymade or made to order don't forget Coffeys.

There was a little drop in the temperature Mon'lay night. Give your gifts next Tuesday cheerfully and without expectation of return.

There are a few men around this town who have grown near-sighted looking for work. The Christmas preparations in the Shippenv burg stores have been very much admired. The good die first, and they bnw hearts are dry as the Summer dust, burn to the socket. The farm scene In the show window of Jamison's Ba.raar has attracted hundreds of admiring viewers. The perrleilng thought of the hour is to know what our friends are going to give us for Christmas gifts.

A fortune awaits the doctor who will discover a new and Incurable disease with an unpronounceable name. The chief occupation of the Summer young man Just now is to blacken his tan-colored shoes for Winter use. Six students of Dickinson College, Carlisle, have been suspended lor one month for hazing a fellow-student. Scientists are puzzled to know why eating sugar makes men strong. That's easy.

It puts sand In them, of course. Don't let pass away and leave you in debt for The Chronicle. Begin the new year square with the printer. One of the hidden mysteries to a man's mind is why placing a ring on a woman's third linger puts him under her thumb. Christmas visitors are arriving and some of our town people are leaving to spend the holidays with friends at different points.

Many people mix their religion with business, but ferret to stir it up well. As a result the busl-n-ss invariably rises on top. The Chronicle office will be closed all next Tuesday. Christmas. Advertisers and contributors please remember this.

The 1395 calendars are circulating. Some of them are very plat-orate and handsome. We acknowledge the receipt of several. Mr. E.

J. McCune, the postmaster, has had some additional shelving placed in the postoftice to facilitate the handling of the mall. Some of the Normal students started home Wednesday afternoon and all will leave to-day. The Normal will re-open Monday. December 31.

The weather was so mild and sunshiny Sabbath morning that some people went to church without their raps. We would not commend their prudence, however. The matrimonial epidemic in Newburg. of which we gave our readers warning several weeks ago, is raging, and the ministers of that town are waxing fat and haughty. A Normal avenue head-of-the-house says he doesn't mind being henpecked any more, he's got nsed to it, but just now he is awfully chick-pecked.

Daughters, you know. Some of the girls at the Normal are wearing the Oxford caps, which are very becoming to them. The young ladies prove that they are very bright In other lines than books by manufacturing these caps themselves. It Is rumored that a secret society Is about to be formed in Shlppensburg, to be known as "The Time and Tide Club." It will be composed only of ladies who have reached an age when It is time they were tied. They'll wait for no man.

A man may guy, and a man may lie, and a man may puff and blow, but he can't get trade by sit. ting in the shade, waiting for business to grow. The United States mint is the only business place that can make money without advertising. The Christmas shoppers were out In force last Saturday and all our merchants did a rushing business. The streets and stores were crowded until late at night.

It is expected that the coming Saturday will be even a better day for business than last. Bacteria are so small that It takes 100,000 placed lengthwise to measure an inch. The soul of the man who has taken The Chronicle for five years without paying for It, not even with thanks or apolo-jes, is a million times smaller than one of those death-dealing insects. The boy who saves one cent every day will And himself the possessor of fe0u when he has reached his fiftieth year. Should be lay by ten cents every day he will have a fortune of and by saving a dollar every day the sum of $95,041 will accumulate in fifty years, provided the savings have drawn six per cent, interest.

A timely hint to Christmas givers Is offered by First Assistant Postmaster General Jones. He calls attention to the fact that Christmas packages are subject to different regulations than those which govern the transmission of letters. The lack of sufficient postage stamps will doom every such not fully prepaid package to the limbo of the Dead Letter Office. Even If ultimately rescued, Christmas will have passed them by. Every remembrancer of distant friends should paste this advice in a conspicuous place.

THE iOT OF THE Rl'KAL PRESS. I like to read In papers that are published out of town O' how Amanita I'llkins Is engaged to Silas Brown; Of how the Squire Magnify, with his wonted enterprise. Has put new shingles on his barn, and added to its size. I love to read of straw rides of the Punkinvllle elite; Of how the sarsaparilla at Pillmaker's Is a treat; Of how Miss Susan Willow Is tosiielid the holidays With liattle Jorkins I'nderwood "at least so rumor says." I love to read the notices the country papers print About the marked ability of Junius Brutus Squint. The "Eminent Tragedian, who shortly will appear At Music Hall in bis great roles of Oriuiesey and of Lear." I dote upon the fashion notes these papers all container how the sleeve Is wider anil the bustle's on the wane; Of how "Miss Wilks.

of Main Street, makes the finest clothes on earth. Which cannot even be surpassed by Felix or by Worth." It pleases me to note therein that Farmer Jones has raised A pumpkin seven feet around that every one has praised." 'TIs pleasing too to read the good adtice these Journals give To people who're uncertain what is proper where they live. But. best of all the things they print. In all the rural press.

Are Christmas hints, which tells us how to turn an old silk dress Into a mantel cover for a Christmas gift for ma. And how to make a beaver hat luto a flower-jar; Which tell the husband how to take a shingle and a knife. And sculp a handsome bracket for the boudoir of his wife; Which show bow cast-off boxes can be fashioned into things which on the merry Christmas morn seem presents fit for kings. I love this column most of all because, it seems to me. It shows the old-time spirit of the Christmas-tide to be Sail in existence somewhere, not, as some think, wholly lost.

Two bridges, one an arch and Ihe o'her a rus tic bridge span this stream and a nil, in wl-ich live fish are swimming, is in the foreground. All around are signs of life. Cows are in the barnyard, ducks along the 8' ream, rabbits coming from behind jcks, dog on the porch, horse in sleigh standing at the hitchii post, chickens picking grain at the mill, sheep uii the bridge, etc, etc. A signboard directs the traveler to "Go to Jamison's Bazaar."
