We know ot no remedy for dyspepsia more successful than Hood’s Sarsapar- illa.

Give Hood’s Srarsaparilla a fair trial. It will do you good. ‘Tis quite a fad in these hot times to write up jokes injingling rhymes, and run them in, like this, in prose, and so, to be in style, here goes: A man who in this brighter day, will spend his time to scratch away, about the mother of his wife, has never lived a decent life, and, ten to one he doesn’t know enough to scare a yearling crow, and probably, the worst disgrace his mother-in-law has had to face was letting such a loafer win her daughter's heart and little fin.

The other is e Square.. the Bates county, Mo., Horticultural Society, which will hold a one day's fair at the residence of Mr. Daniel Cresap, near Rich Hill, Mo., on Sep. 8th. The premium list of the Bates county Society has been received from the secretary, Henry Speer, Butler, Mo. $350 in premiums are offered for displays of fruits, flowers, grains and vegetables and products of the culinary art. It is with much satisfaction that the Rural World publishes such facts as the above, feeling that these are indications of progression among our horticulturists and knowing that as they progress so will their commu nities go forward and improve. In- deed this work of the horticultural societies in holding exhibitions of the products of their respective counties, while it will benefit the societies and their members, will be more beneficial to the community at large than to the horticulturists.
