Heretofore the different towus of the county have provided the dinner, -etc., and the regiment paid only for transportation and music. The regi- ment have decided to pay for their own dinners in future, but the times being hard and many being too poor to pay for the added expense of the music, it was decided to do without it. This matter can be'very easily fixed by our citizens. Let them provide the band, to meet the veterans at the railroad station, and furnish music during the day. ‘A v“ 7‘ Liquor Dealers’ Association.

They never produce griping or pain' unless ,the stomach is in a very acid condition, and then only if the dose is a large one. In doses'bf one or two pills they never cause pain or other inconvenience. 6th.» One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distress immediately. 7th. BRANDRETH'S PILLS are composed one-third of-the best extract of sense.- parilla that can be made. It is highly concentrated and it makes of these pills the best blo'od purifiers that you can get, one 25-cent box con- taining more of the active blood-purifying principle of sarsaparilla than a dollar's worth of. any liquid preparation in the market. 8th. One or two, taken every night, will cure rheumatism in almost every instance. 9th. They are a pOSItive and effective remedy for constipation and for all the long list of ills that follow in its Wake—such as dyspepsia, dizziness, drowsiness, coated tongue, foul breath, headache, pain in the stomach, etc. Take one or two pills every night—one is usually enough—and be certain that a cure will follow.
