Hasten back to sylvan retreats,
And court the journalistic muse.

Bespeaks thy wondrous power,
In the backwoods make thy den,
We need tnee every hour.

of SCHNAPPS Tobacco which has the cheering
qualities that gratify his desire to chew, and at
less expense than cheap tobacco.
SCHNAPPS has been advertised in this
paper so that every chewer has had an
opportunity to get acquainted with the
facts and know that drugs are not used
to produce the cheering quality found in
the famous Piedmont country flue-cured

ought to chew. Still there are chewers
who accept Qther and cheaper tobaccos
that do not give the same pleasure.
