The weather at this point is still changeable. James Horah and family have moved to Mrs. M. J. Cauble's and will raise a crop. Glad to have Mr. Horah and family with us. John Leonard and family, who for the past two years, has been living in this neigh borhood has gone, departed, left, vamoosed, and never even said good-bye nor gave us anything to remember him by. Peace go with him, for a:: last we will have an abund ant supply of the same. We saw a funny thing a short time. ago. While cer tain parlies were at supper a kitten got some kind of a funny spell and ran around the room, ran against a win dow, a stove and did various other antics; causing the la dies to mount chairs.

However, we wish her a speedy recovery. It seems as if Patrons j. j - is u-ymg 10 give us a good one just below the belt. Well we can take our medicine We dont know anything about the blind leading act but from what we can learn irom reliable parties one has taken the lead and judging by results this one must have been blind, maimed and halt tor surely the whole push nave tumbled in the ditch LWe learn that Mr. Riblin has given up the school, because he was promised a certain amount and the law does no allow him this amount. Now we have known Mr. Riblin aoout as long as some of the rest around here, say 10 or 12 years, and can vouch for him for he is O. K., but has been mislead, as the matter of his salary stands. The commit tee should consist ot three good men, but it seems trom the statement of two of these that they have had no chance to act in any of these mat ters. Yes, if you can get a good teacher, hire iim for the rest of his natural life, Dut aon i promise mm more money than the law allows. AS -11 " j9ls ior aesKs, we nave never seen any new ones nor nave we seen any one who has. rhese desks were, so we hear, ordered about the time the desks were ordered for the Granite Quarry school, which came promptly, wnue me Dunn's Mountain desks have not arrived yet, As for Mr Kiblin, he will manage the school as it should be, if let alone, but as for Patrons do ing the kicking 'out act, he had better think twice before he starts on his kicking ex pedition, we don't believe Mr. Riblin will stand any such treatment. Don't do anything rash, for it may hurt your feelings, Brother Patrons. The Jr. O. U. A.M., Coun cil will meet Saturday even ing, the 4th of January, at 30 p. m.

Concord Trib une. - Constipation Baked sweet apples, with some people, bring prompt relief for Constipation. With others, coarse all-wheat bread will hare the same effect. Nature undoubtedly has a vegetable remedy to relieve everyZailment known to man, If physicians can but find Nature's way to health. And this ia triklntrlv true with regard to Constipation. The bark of a certain tree in California Cas cara Sagrada offers a most excellent aid to this end. But. combined with Egyptian Senna, Slip pery Elm Bark, Solid Extract of Prunes, etc.. this same Cascara bark is given its greatest possible power to correct constipation. A toothsome Candy Tablet, called Lax-ets, is now made at the Dr. Snoop Laboratories, from this ingenuous and most effective prescription. Its effect on Consti pation, BHiousness, Sour Stomach, Bad Breath, Sallow Complexion, etc, is Indeed prompt and satisfying. No griping, no unpleasant after effects are ex perienced, and Lax-eta are put up in beautiful lithographed metal boxes at 6 cents and 25 cents per box. - For something new. nice, economical and effective, try a box of a GRIMES DRUG William B.
