The first shoe factory in New England to

A new labor organization has been formed

Liivfnff on the Kepntation of Others.
"Take everything that I have but my good
name; leave me that and I am content." So
Eaid the philosopher. So say all manufactur
ers of genuine articles to that horde of imita
tors which thrives upon the reputation of oth
ers. The good name of Aixcock's Poroc3
Plasters has induced many adventurers to
put la the market imitations that are not only
lackinz in the best elements of the genuine ar
ticle, but are often harmful in their effects.
The public should be on their guard against
these f raud3, and, when an external remedy is
needed.be sure to insist upon having Allcock's
Porous Plaster.

never fails to give entire satisfaction. Price
60c and SL Trial size free.
Senator JONES.of Nevada, Is a firm believer
In luck, and tells o many strange things that
have happened to him-elf.
A V Piit and Call."
This is a funny phrase to the uninitiated,but
all the brokers understand it. They use it
when a person gives a certain per cent, for the
option of buying or selling stock on a fixed
day, at a price stated on the day the option is
given. It is often a serious operation to the
dealer, but there is a more serious "put and
call" than this: when you are "put to bed with
a severe cold and your friends "call" a physi
cian. Avoid all this by keeping in the house
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The
freat cure for pulmonary and blood disea-es.
ts action is marvelous. It curses the worst
cough, whether acute, lingering, or chronic.
For Weak Lungs, Spiting of Blood, Short
Breath, Consumption, Night-Sweats, and kin
dred affections, it surpasses all other medi
cines. .
Hudson, N. Y., has a Stingy Club, whose

A Word to the Wise Is Sufficient."
Catarrh Is not simply an inconvenience, un
pleasant to the sufferer and disgusting to oth
ers it is an advanced outpost of approaching
disease of worse type. Do not neglect its warn
ing; it brings deadly evils in its train. Before
it is too late, use Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
It reaches the seat of the ailment, and is the
only thing that will. You may dose yourself
with quack medicines 'till it is too late 'till
the streamlet becomes a resistless torrent. It is
the matured invention of a scientific physician.
"A word to the wise is sufficient."
The whole Court at Berlin is now composed
of new people. The friends of the late Emperor
have disappeared.
Many men of many minds;
Many pills of various kinds.
Bu for a mild, effective, vegetable purgative,
you had better get Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pur
gative Pellets. They cure sick headache, bil
ious headache, dizziness, constipation, indiges
tion, and bilious attacks; 25 cents a vial, by
druggists.
