The Perfect Liver Medicine.  Mrs. M. A. Jolley, Noble, O.

Herbine is a most efficient liver regulator. 50c at R. Haas, Agent.

The Fourth of July barbecue at Walnut Lane Saturday was largely attended by people within a radius of 15 to 20 miles, in spite of the fact that the roads were muddy and the weather threatening. There was an abundance for the large crowd to eat, and plenty to spare, of splendidly barbecued meats and all kinds of delicacies. Of the invited speakers Mr. W. D. Munholland was the only one who attended. The others, we suppose, were detained by more pressing engagements. Mr. Munholland entertained the audience in his usual pleasing style, after which a few pretty songs were rendered by the choir, under the skilled leadership of Mr. S. P. Lewis. An interesting match game base ball was being played by the Walnut Lane and Calhoun teams, when a downpour of rain forced the game to an end, and the large crowd to seek shelter. Repairing to Capt. Sellers’ home and other nearby houses, the throng of people engaged in pleasant conversation until the coming of the hour to look homeward, all feeling that the pleasures of the day were in no wise marred by the little “moistening” they received from Sir Pluvius.
