FOR A CHRISTMAS GIFT
Anybody who has to buy Xmas presents young or old know how hard it is to find something suitable or what you
really want. Often it is hard for you to say what you rsally want. If you try to get the person you intend the present for
to state what they want they will say: "Just get me some little thing; anything will do." That's the way they are apt to
talk. Now there are two things to bear in mind when buying a main present. The first is, you had better buy it where
he would buy his other things, where you can get new and up to date goods. The second is, this is headquarters for ncv,
and handsome goods. For the ladies it is no hard task to find just what she would want for vs have lots of suitable
things for her. We call your especial attention to the following:

on a deer and killing it. Just
how many shots he made before
he killed it could not be definitely
determined but it must have
been about "steen"' from all re
lorts. At any rate he killed the
buck at about 400 yards which is
a pretty good shot. Some of the
neighbors claimed that they had
to sit up with Mose for the next
two nights and we ourselves

people who migrate across the
continent in all directions seek
ing that which gold cannot buy.
Nine-tenths of them are suffering
from that throat and lung trouble
or chronic catarrh resulting from
neglected colds, and spending
fortunes vainly trying to regain
lost health. Could every suffer

that first neglected cold, all this
sorrow, pain, anxiety and ex

famous for its cures of colds,

digging a well and installing a
system of waterworks for the
use of the people. A committee
consisting of Judge A. N. Hen

How One Doctor Successfully Treats Pneumonia
" In treating pneumonia," says
Dr. W. J. Smith, of Sanders,
Ala., "the only remedy I use for
the lungs is Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. While, of cou re,
I would treat other symptoms
with different medicines, I have
used this remedy many times
in my medical practice and have
yet failed to find a case where it
has not eontroled the trouble. I
have used it myself, as has also
my wife for coughs and colds re
peatedly, and I most willingly
and cheerfully recommend it as
superior to any other cough
remedy to my knowledge." For
sale by City Pharmacy.
