But the way in which Hood’s Sarsaparila builds up the tired frame and pives a good appetite, is really wonderful. So we say, “Take Hood’s and it will brace you up.” For a general family cathartic we confidently recommend Hood's Pills. A constitutional amendment will be submitted empowering County Courts te levy fifteen cents on the $100 valuation for road purposes. In the meantime an effort ~hould be made to get as much good road as possible for the amount of money allowed to be raised by law The adoption of the proposed constitu tional amendment will undoubtedly help the cause of good roads, but back ofall laws and constitutional amendments must be a popular determination to have the good roads.

Mar One of our citizens living north- west of the square a few blocks, was tried Friday before Recorder Cannon for maintaining a nuisance oa his premises in the shape of a barn lot, and the jury disagreed When proof of the fact exists as plain as they did in this case, jurymen should not stop short of their duty in quibbling over technicalities, but put the screws to the offender be he whom he may. No man has a right to an | noy his neighbor and en the healtk «[ bis family by permitting a nuisance to exist on his premines, and if such persons want to stall feed cattle and hogs they should move them outside the city limits.
