The Modern Woodmen had the
pleasure of initiating about six, as new.
members, into their last meeting.
Those of our friends who have been
hesitating about taking the Woodmen's
degree, will no longer feel any un
certainty as to the ceremonies, or fear
to take a ride uprin the Woodmen's
goat, which we are lead to believe the
candidates rode very successfully, as
the o^Qer members pronounced it well
done. After the initiation was over, a
pleasant surprise awaited them at the
home of their neighbor Newmiller.
This surprise was a fine supper, pre
pared by the lady friends of the Wood
men all were in the best of spirits
and had a jolly time.
Dr. Chamberlain from Cresco, was
the guest of the Woodmen Lodge on
this eventful evening. XEUXES.
TIRED OUT.
The distressing teeling of weariness
and exhaustion without effort, which
makes life a burden to so manj people,
is due to poverty of the blood and
feeble vitality. If you are suft'erina:
from such feelings, bludbuilder is
just, what you need, and will be the
greatest benefit to you. It purifies
and enriches the blooJ,, imparts tone
and vigor to the whole system, aids
digestion and overcomes all morbid,
tendencies and nervous affections
caused by a depressed state of the
blood, strengthens and builds up the
system, while it eradicates disease.
It is pleasant to take and the dose is
small. Try it and be cured. Sold by
J. J. Lowry. Price $1.00.
