We; call attention to the announce-
ments, in this week’s issue, of W. L.
Garvin, D. B. Gilliland, and J. J.
Maxwell, all candidates for re-elec-
tion and are well known among
the peoplo.
A perfectly smnd body and a
mind unimpaired are possible only
with pure blood. Leading medical
authorities indorse Ayer’s Sarsapa-
rilla as the best blood purifying
medicine in existence. It vastly
increases tho working and product-'
ive powers of both hand and brain.
- You Carry
A whole medicine chest in your pocket,
with one box of Ayer’s Tills. As they
operate directly on the stomach and
bowels, they indirectly affect every
other organ of the body. When the
stomach is out of order, the head is
affected, digestion fails, the blood be-
comes impoverished, and you fall an
easy victim to any prevalent disease.
Miss M. E. Boyle, of Wilkesbarre, Pa.,
puts the whole truth in a nutshell, when
she says : “I use no other medicine
than Ayer’s Pills. They are all that
any one needs, and just splendid to save
money in doctors’ bills.”
Here is an instance of
A Physician
who lost liis medicine chest, but, having
at hand a bottle of Ayer’s Pills, found
himself fully equipped.—J. Arrison,
M. D., of San Jos<J, Cal., writes:
“ Some three years ago. by the merest
accident, I was forced, so to speak,
to prescribe Ayer’s Cathartic Pills for
several sick men among a party of engi-
neers in the Sierra Nevada mountains,
my medicine chest having been lost in
crossing a mountain torrent. I was
surprised and delighted at the action of
the Pills, so much so, indeed, that I was
led to a further trial of them, as well as
of your Cherry Pectoral and Sarsapa-
rilla. I have nothing but praise to offer
in their favor.”
John W. Brown, M. I)., of Oceana,
W. Va., writes: “ I prescribe Ayer’s Pills
in my practice, and find them excellent.
I urge their general use in families.”
T. E. Hastings, M. D., of Baltimore,
Md., writes: “ That Ayer’s Pills do con-
trol and cure the complaints for which
they are designed, is as conclusively
proven to me as anything possibly can he.
They are the best cathartic ami aperi-
ent within the reach of the profession.”
Ayer’s Pills,
PREPARED BY
Dr. J. C. Ayer 8c Co., Lowell, Mass.*
Sold by all Druggists.
“ The Lord helps those that helps them-
selves.” Act ou this theory an I rub on a
little of “ Huut’s Cure ” and see how quick
it will cure Itch, Ringworm, Tetter or any
other skin disease you are troubled with.
H. H. McConnell.
“ Princess Tea” and “ Flaked Oat
Groats” at McConnell’s, also pure
spices, cream tartar, English bi-carb
of soda, and extra fine and strong
flavoring extracts at the old reliable,
i. e. McConnell’s.
Ayer’s Cathartic pills are suited
to every age. They are mild and
pleasant in action, thorough and
searching in effect, and, being sugar-
coated, are easy to take. These
pills never fail to give satisfaction.
J. M. Hughes has, in his gardeD,
some alfalfa which has stood through
the drouth and is now doing well.
Mr. Hughes thinks this would be
the best forage plant for this coun-
try that the farmer could cultivate.
We call the attention of the voters
of Jack county to the announcement
of Wm. Tabor, in this issue, as a
candidate for the office of sheriff.
Those who are best acquainted with
him are most anxious for him to
make the race for that office.
Some people are advertising
“fresh garden seeds just arriving,”
but McConnell has a few left from
two large invoices, and the balance
of his stock is now being brought
into town in the shape of fresh veg-
etables. Pat Sullivan among others,
brought in a fine mess of peas ra;s-
ed from some of these seeds to day.
McConnell will sell you, solid
back English hair bimhes, rose-

“Swearing 011.”
Everybody has at one time or an-
other “ sworn off” some bad habit.
Young men frequently begin the
new year by some good resolution,
which usually is forgotten about the
6ih of January. In fact, tho road
to a certain undesirable place, is said
to be “paved with good resolutions
that have been broken.” But to
the point; after my sad experience
once, I “swore off” on base balls
and everybody connected therewith,
but my good resolution has been
shelved, and I will merely mention
to the boys, that I will in a few
days have a new lot of base balls,
base ball bats, base ball belts and
caps, score books and league rules
for season 1888. H. H. McConnell.
Wynn Hill.
To the Gazette :
Wynn Hill is situated on a beau-
tiful rolling prairie ten miles west
of Jacksboro, on the Jacksboro and
Belknap road. The Masonic hall
and school bouse was built in mem-
ory of Dr. James Wynn that noble
hearted frontiersman who was kill-
ed at this place by the Indians.
The Indian trail is now being blot-
ted out by tho honest settler; nice
cottages, and farms in wheat, oats,
corn, and orchards are fast occupy-
ing the place where once the savage
roved in his native freedom.
Fruit is excellent. With plenty
of rain in May and June there will
be an immense grain crop in this
part of the county.

Renews her Youth.
Mrs. Phoebe Chesley, Peterson,
Clay Co., Iowa, tells the following
remarkable story, the truth of which
is vouched for by the residents of
the town: “I am 73 years old, have
been troubled with kidney com-
plaint and lameness for many years;
could not dress my3elf without help.
Now I am free from all pain and
soreness, and am able to do all my
own house Work. I owe my thanks
to Electric Bitters for having re-
newed my youth, and removed
completely all disease and pain.”

Decatur.
To the Gazette :
Our town has been slowly but
surely prospering since spring
opened. Not only have the old and
well established business houses
profited by the tide of prosperity,
but quite a number of new firms
have launched upon our commercial
waters, indicating not only present
prosperity but an approaching
boom, real and apparent.
Our people have long been in sus-
pense in regard to our mining pros-
pects ; some believing, some doubt-
ing, others indifferent. Recent de-
velopments, however, have been
sufficient to convince all that have
taken the trouble to investigate the
matter that we undoubtedly have
some very rich mineral veins in
this vicinity, and much excitement
present.
The recent city election passed
off quietly, and Friday the ^20th
instant we have a county election
to fill vacancy in legislature. Only
two candidates out, viz., J. W.
Boothe and J. O. Modo, and little
interest manifested.
The Decatur public school closes
in two weeks and it may be said
that the present corps of teachers
are to be commended for their work.
The Teachers’ Institute* held its
regular meeting to-day, and appoint-
ed a committee to prepare a memo-
rial to the Legislature asking for
legislation that wiil insure the
prompt payment of teachers’ vouch-
ers. Saxet.
Decatur, April 14,1888.
Worth Knowing.
Mr. W. H. Morgan, merchant,
Lake City, Fla., was taken with a
severe cold, attended with a dis-
tressing cough and running into
consumption in its first stages. He
tried many so-called popular cough
remedies and steadily grew worse.
Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty
in breathing and was unable to sleep.
Finally tried Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery for consumption and found
immediate relief, and after using
about a half dozen bottles found
himself well and has had no return
of the disease. No other remedy
can show so grand a record of cores
as Dr. King’s New~discovery for
Consumption G uaranteed to do just
what is claimed for it.—Trial bottle
free at JET. H. McConnell’s drug
store. 4
