All brought about bv tne use of De Witt's Sarsaparilla. It recommends ttelf. W. E. Mallcky Pearl Myers and ami ly are back from Wyoming.

He came by wagon and reports no crops all the way down the Platte, and but little prospect until he reached Jewell county. One by one they are gathering home. Some tiling wrong when you tire too easily. Something wrong when the skin is not clear and smooth. Something wrong when the Blood is impure something right when you take De- Witt's Sarsaparilla.

It recommends tself. W. E. Mallort. Geo.

luff. Jewell county still leads Smith' in the line of school teachers. At 'the last examination, timith had 60 applicants for teacher's certificate, and 50 of them failed. Jewell had 47 and of I hem failed. The highest grade certificates in Jewell county were issued to Misses May and Minnie Brelsford and Alice and Alta Atkins.

Ben IJritton lias fenced in a hog pas ture. It is 1 yr. high. It begins at the S. W.

corner of the Hershr.er block and runs, west; to the Hunter black smith shop, thence south to Beam's barn, thence east to Carter's scales and thence north to place of beginning-Contaning 2,304 square inches, more or less. Tj hear Ben call reminds one of their old days in "Arkan-saw." A remarkably cool business transaction was completed a few days ago, between one ofEsbon's irrepressible ice dealers and a Lebanon gentleman whose other names we did not learn. The substance of tlw deal is the sale of five hundred tons of ice by 'Mel I Mallory to the party at Lebanon, at five dollars per ton. We are not prepared to say that the amount Is precisely correct; however, we are almost sure it was no more than that. We congratulate ourselves on have-ing touched the -'spot" in something we said last week.

Some of the 'trooly loil" wl regard the "powers that be" as more sacred than the people, and the flap: "emblem of libery" as of more importance than liberty itself, and above all the Republican party as of more virtue than either or all, are so touched they begin to cry "anarohy." There must be a horrible fascination about this paper that will induce folks, who am not subscribers, to grab it hot from the press with a pair of tongs, to read its reeking red hot anarchistic utterances. Chip in 10 cents each, boys, and buy it a year thus mhking a cl ub of Miss Sadie Young, A. A. Prescott, A. Wilson, Zeph Moore, L.

B. Manning and Mrs. Delia Prowse are new subscribers; but every rose conceals a thorn, and our feelings were lacerated by a card from a postmaster Nebraska, telling us to ''stop the Searchlight," by authority of one. P. Phillips, who, we regret to say, lives green in the memory of some parties here.

It was our own misfortune to incur his enmity by paying a note of his on which we' had consented to write our classical name. Ask any thing in reason Abe, but let us run the Seakcfiliout till we make back that $57. We will gladly stop your share; it has never cost you or made us a cent that we can discover. So long: Oh. this dry, hot windy weather, To have rain we wonld much rather Our corn lookssick our vines look sad We are not mad.

No, no not bad. Bnt to roast the live long day, Then in the twilight gray To listen long, to that blamed old song "After tne Ball" by our neighbor's girl in a squeaky squall We are not mad, but soon shall be. Jim Tiffany aud Amsie Sullivan have gone up to Nebraska to work. Rain is needed. Glass frnit jars at PADDEN 'S I have a few GLASS FRUI'i JARS left.

F. M. Drake. Mrs, O. A.

Moody visited at Olego, over Sunday. A large stock of glass fruit cans jst, received at Drake's1 F. M. Drake's front yard is improved by a new croquet set. We want a few more good reporters from different localities.

Several young folks frum Mankato attended church here last Sunday. Buy a Champion mower of II. M. Buckley. They are all their name indicates.

II. F. Sullivan goes to Mankato to drive a 'bus from the depot to the John's House. Have you noticed the One new double decked surrey owned by W. Poi tt It is a dandy.

ClxMioweth came down from Mohaska Friday morning to see hvr sister, Mrs. Irv Sanvain, who is on the sick list. That reward still awaits Sly T.iltler; tut his theory is now, that we must prove owrself Innocent because he says we are guilty, II. F. Sullivan has returned from Mankato where he went to drive a bus.

His ernploper sold out in despair the second day. Next. It rained airiuch and a half by the thingimagig phonograph, and it tickles folks so to see the corn grow, they jus1 lnll and laff and laif. It takes W. II, McComas an hour and a half to eat his meals now and his appetite is still coming.

Watson is contemplating getting a new waiter. Geo. Michael has threshed his 25 acres of wheat and got 41 bushels In all. It Is good quality and worth a round 40 cents a bushel. We can't tell a lie.

If dull, spiritless and stupid; If your blood is thick aud sluggish If your appetite is capricious and uncertain, ion need a Sarsaparilla. For best result takeDeWitt's. It recommends itself E. Malluuy. There will be a basket picnic at Spaulding's grove two miles south of Otego, Wednesday, July 25.

People's Party speakers are expected. All prospective candidates and every body else aro cordially invited. The time schedule has been changed on both mail routs running out of Esbon. The mail now leaves Esbon m. returning at 5:50, and arrives at Esbon from Salem at 2 p.

Don't forget these services, but come and help us. II. V. Scholes, pastor. If the pat ty who found part of a harness west of T.

W. Lewis's chicken factory last Sunday, will leave it at this office, he will confer a favor. The relic is ou's. It is all there was left after one of our spotted ponies stopped oucking. We would love to keep it as a memento of the happy time when we owned a set of harness.

We are informed that during the next ten years he intends to sell 200,000,000. if we average them at $100.00 each. It is already the largest business of the kind in ex-tence. Writ to Daniel F. Beaty astuugtou, New Jersey lor catalogue.
