IMPERIAL PRESS HEBER Notes of Passing Events From the College Town The work train is again at Heber re pairing arid putting the track in order where it is necessary. Mrs. Whiting, the postmistress, finds the country a good one for bulbs, and has great success with tuberoses. E. S. Jamison is grading up a road way for teams alongnide the track, to bring wagons to the level of the cars. The Perry Heath Building is about finished, ready for the painters. It is 25x130, and is to have a storeroom be sides several offices. Mr. Seeley is the builder.

This keeps a gen eral stock of groceries, vegetables, fruits in season, canned goods, etc., and is very convenient to those visiting the postoffice. By the wa.v, there is much inconvenience in variance between the name of the town (Heber) and the postoffice (Bradtmoore) and the de partment has been asked to change the latter to Heber. It will doubtless do so in time, but is provokingly slow about it. Chas. R. Cunningham has located a quarter-section six miles east of Im perial, and Mr. Smith and Thos Hard ing have also taken claims adjoining. Abscess W. H. Harrison, Cleveland, Miss., writes, Aug. 15, 1902: "I want to say a word of praise for Ballards Snow Lini ment. I stepped on a nail, which caused the cords in my leg to contract and an abscess to rise in my kn*»e, and the doctor told me that I would have a . stiff leg, so one day I went to J. F. Lord's drug store (who is now in Den ver, Colo.) He recommended a bottle of Snow Liniment; I got a 50c size, and it cured my leg. It is the best liniment in the world. Abscesses, with few exceptions, are indicative of constipation or debility. They may, however, result from blows or from foreign bodies, introduced into the skin or flesh, such as splinters, thorns, etc. Sold by Imperial Drug Co. Dr. P. S. Anderson Propr.
