ONE RESPONSE.
Are You Mint to Let the
Op.
pTtunity Pass?
Last week we noted th great
loss by fire of Mr. Carroll and of
fered tu lie one of pne hundred to
give 3o,00 (oward helping him
.out. Up to the present writing wt
have heard of only one response,
Is it possible our people wtil lei this
opportunity pass unheeded ?
"Did you give him a lift? He's a
brother of man,
And bearing about all the burden
he can.
Did you give him a smile? He was
downcast and blue,
And ihe smile would have helped
him to battle it through.
Did you give him your hand? He
was slipping down hill,
And the world, so I fancied, was
using him ill.
Did you give him a word? Did
you show him ihe road?
Or did you just let him go on with
liis load?
Do you know what it means to be
losing the fight,
When just a lift in time might set
everything right?
Do you know what it means just
a clasp of the hand,
When a man's borne about all a
. man ought to stand?
Did you ask what it was why the
quivering lip ?
Why the half-suppressed sob, and
the scalping tear's drip?
Were you brother of his when the
time came of need?
Did you offer to help him ordidn'i
you heed?
MIGHT BE ON THE TOE.
"Hurry, girlie."
"I can't go just yet. Must do a
little darning. I have a hole in my
stocking."
"Where it will show?"
"Well, if it is in the stocking ii
will show, won't it?"

SCARCITY OF RABBITS.
We are told that there is a scar
city of rabbits in ihe old fields and
piney woods this season, and the
cause for the shortage is undoubt
edly due to the extreme dry weath
er so dry that the rabbits perished
for the want of water. It is a well
known tact thai all the creeks,
branches and springs dried up du
ring the pasi summer and there
may be some ground for this be
lief. Fields and woods where you
could lormerly go and bag any
number, there is not one to be
found.

Never before in ihe history of
this vicinity when country bacon
was so scarce. There has been
little or nor country hams offered
far sale in this town during the

the matter? Are the farmers so

Calomel salivation ia horrible. It
swells the tongue, loosens the
teeth and starts rheumatism. There
is no reason why a person should
take sickening, salivating calomel
when a few cents buys a large bot
tle of Dodson's Liver Tone a per
fect substitute for calomel. It is a
pleasant vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely
as calomel, but it doesn't make
you sick and cannot salivate.
Calomel is a dangerous drug,
besides it may make you feel weak
sick ana nauseatea tomorrow..
Don't lose a day's work. Take
spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone
instead and you will wake up feel
ing great. No salts necessary.
Your druggist says if you den't
find Dodson's Liver Tone acts bet
ter than treacherous calomel your
' money is waiting for you.
