The Board of Aldermen and Street
Commissioners, with thechaingaiig, un
der J. L. Orrr, have made a great
change in south west Henderson ville.
Mt. Hebron street has been nicely work
ed out within the incorporated limits,
Whitted St., to Willow, and also Mud
Creek St., to city limits. There are also
good sidewalks laid out on all these
streets. They are now working on
Crab Creek street. Altogether a won
derful change has been made in that
part of town, and those who have not
seen it recently would hardly recognize
It as the same property. ,
This office, has a ne w door latch at its
front entrance. The old one has been
the cause of many warm remarks, not
always complimentary to the office or
the latch, on the part of would-be
patrons, and it is recorded in the an
nals of the shop that one irate subscrib
er, with a dollar in his hand to pay his
dues, tried in vain to gain an entrance,
and went away muttering things which
would not look well iu, print. All this
is changed now, and it's the easiest thing
in the world to get into the front office,
where a receipt will be written for any
little amount you may owe on subscrip
tion to this valuable paper, or where
orders for neat job work are gratefully
received. Call around and try the new
latch and see how vast an improvement
it is over the old one.

Whose Say-so is Best?
With nearly all medicines put up for
sale through druggists, one has to take
the maker's say-so alone as to their cura
tive value. Of course, such testimony is
not that of a disinterested party and
accordingly is not to be given the same
credit as If written from disinterested
motives. Dr. Pierce's medicines, how
ever, form a single and therefore striking
exception to this rule. Their claims to
the confidence of invalids does not rest
solely upon their makers' say - so or
praise. Their ingredients are matters of
public knowledge, being printed on each
separate bottle wrapper. Thus Invalid
suffer era are taken into Dr. Pierce's full
confidence. Scores of leading medical
men have written enough to fill volumes
in praise of the curative value of the
several Ingredients entering into these
well-known medicines. -
Amonarst these writers we find such med
ical lights as Prof. Finley Ellin srw ood. M. D..
of Bennet Medical College. Chicago; Prof.
Hale, of the same city; Prof. John M. Scud
der. 11. D.. late of Cincinnati. Ohio; Prof.
John King. M. D.. late of Cincinnati. Ohio:
r. Grorer Ooe, of New York; Dr. Bartho
low. of Jefferson Medical College, of Pa
and scores of others equally eminent.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures
the worst cases of female weakness, prolap
sus, anteversion and retroversion and corrects
irregularities, cures painful periods, dries up
disagreeable and weakening drains, some
times known as pelvic catarrh and a multi
tude of other diseases peculiar to women.
Bear in mind, it is not a patent nor even a
secret medicine, but the "Favorite, Prescrip
tion" of a regularly educated physician, of
large experience in the cure of woman's
peculiar ailments, who frankly and confid
ingly takes bis patients Into his full con
fidence by telling them Just what his "Pre
scription " is composed of. Of no other medi
cine put up for woman's special maladies
and sold through druggists, can it be said
that the maker is not afraid to deal thus
frankly, openly and honorably, by letting
every patient using the same know exactly
what she Is taking.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond
ence is guarded as sacredly secret and
womanly confidences are protected by :
professional privacy. Address Dr. E. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
