The sun shone bright on the weddiag morn, And life was eweet in the dear old time, dear vow taken, spoken clear, murmured pledge, without a fear; A farewell to kindred and home so dear, And smiles and blessing and scare a tear.

Mary Wrds b'ise was bv fire tent has this zeal for their iinitiuitiuns been carried, that for several legislatures various slate boards have maintained lobbies at the capital for no other purpose than to procure large amounts for thhe institutions In which they were interested, any reference to the general sum to be expended or the amounts to' be appropriated for othrs. For many years It has been the custom of the legislature in the matter of appropriations to reduce the amount asked for and those corning before it seeking appropriations have been in the habit or risking for larger amounts than were actuully needed with the expectation that the same would be reduced, and In many cases the legislature has cut down such amounts below the actual necessities of the case. This has occurred tc such an extent that often the succeeding legislature has been obliged to make appropriations to cover such deficiencies, Estimates for the erection or compter tion of public buildings ouht to be mado with soma degree of certainty, and w-iih an intelligent conception of the animint nrcssary to complete such builillntrs, and the persons charped with Hip exp'-ndilure ought to be held to a strict compliance with the statute pro-lubiting tne expenditure of a greater sum than that fixed by the appropriations. 1 hereby transmit to the legislature estimates in detail as to the amounts necessary to meet the requirements of the diffeivnt departments of state and the slate Instil ulions. for Hie two ycp.rs em'-ins June 30, 1 W2-3.

I believe they are reasonable and should have the 'sanction of the legislature. Direct should be made in ens-s, so 't(r' the public may know the exact amount of expenditures to be made for specific purposes. The effect of larre appropriations is sought, In many cases, to be" avoided by the levy of a certain tax, without fixing the amount appropriated. An ap. propriation that needs any cover or con- eoalment should not be made.

If the leg-lslature would make appropriations of direct and specific amounts, leaving the executive council to make the levy after the assessed value of property In the state was ascertained, the public would be apprised of the sums to be esper-Vd; de. flciencies would be exceptional and stamping warrants "unpaid for want of funds" unusual, If not entirely unknown. Berth for Lobbyists. The present legislature is charped with a grave responsibility. It is quite as necessary to prevent bnd, as it to secure good legislation.

It has a glorious record for curing such maladies. Americans are the most liberal givers in the world and the makers of Dr. King's New Discovery among the most liberal of Americans.

They give millions of free trial bottles away every year to sufferers from CoughB, Colds or other throat and lung troubles. When suffering, ask your druggist for one. J. R. Garrison, Cashier of the Bank of Thornton, suffered with a serious lung trouble for a year, then was wholly cured by Dr.

King's New Discovery. He 6ays it's the grandest mediciuo on earth for a bad cold or severe lung trouble. The frightful rattling cough so fatal to a child, attacked by croup, need never alarm a mother, who can promptly put her hand on a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery. Every one of the millions of bottles sold of Dr.

King's New Discovery is guaranteed. If no benefit be received when used as directed, your druggist will refund your money. T. L. Martin, of Dixie, writes he coughed every night until his throat was nearly raw then was quickly cured by Dr.

King's New Discovery. Never trifle with a Cough, Cold or Lung trouble. It's much easier and less expensive to cure it at first. You will be surprised to see how quickly Dr. King's New Discovery will do it.

Only costs 50c and $1.00 a bottle at all druggists. Win Held. Ror. Reeves was ever from Well-iusfton Sunday and preached here. Mr.
