Up to that time , ' the divisions of the counties were known as Districts. . It wbs not i unnsual for a District to bear the name of the captain of the Mali tia Company of the District.

Crowded Our columns have been crowded of late with advertisements thai have come to us unsolicited. This condition is not likely to remain but a few weeks. Usually for about two months in the spring and two in the fall we are offered more advertising than we can handle, while for eight months in tbe yesr but few of the busi ness houses in our territory cater to tbe cash trade. Frequently we have to -boil down news letters received for publication, and have to leave out some matter entirely. Many a man boasts thac he never borrows trouble who will borrow everything else. , To Stop a Cough 'Quick take HAYES HEALING HONEY, a cough medicine which stops the cough by Jieaiing tne inflamed and imtated tissues.
