high prices on the Smithfield

The highest 50 cents a pound, j
Smithfield has three large ware
houses, all managed by as clever
and polite tobacconists as ever
went on any market. By their
fair dealings and honest efforts |
to get the highest price for the;
farmer's tobacco they have made j
friends aud brought tobacco here
from far and near. From the be
ginning we have had great faith
in the Smithfield tobacco market.
It has been a success and a
splendid future is before it if it
remains lp the hands of such
popular and capable managers
as at present.

Blood.
We live by'our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri
ment in it.
Hack of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take Scott's Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil. It sets the
whole body going again?man

If you have not tried it, send for free sample,
