Electric Bitters is a medicine suit
ed for any season, but perhaps more
generally needed when the langued,
exhausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
nsed of a tonic and alterative is felt.
A promp use of this medicine has,
often averted K long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more snrely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con
stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric

against the company (and propably

dangering their lives they are in the

According to a notice in the Ad
vance last week a meeting of the
County Commissioners was called by
the Chairman, Mr. R. S. Clark. No
one then had any idea why this meet
ing was called, but it transpired later
that it was mainly for the purpose
of dispensing with the services of
Messrs. J. C. Hadley and Thos.
Felton, the two Democratic Commis
sioners. The board was composed
of five commissioners three Popu
lists and two Democrats. Ot course
the Democrats did not have much to
say in the meetings, as they were in
the minority, nevertheless our Popu
list friends decided they were in the
way, so at this meeting gave them
their "discharge."
