It seems after all that Nevada county is not the portion of the country around which all the rest of Uncle Sam’s domains revolve, as the actions of certain local ‘‘politicians” had almost led us to. believe, On the contrary, a reliable exchange ‘. points out the indisputable fact that the geographical center of the United States, which used to be somewhere near Omaha, is now, since the acquisition of Alaska, west of the mouth of the Columbia river, in the Pacitic Ocean, In other words, Portland, Oregon; is nearer to Portland Maine, than it is to the last of the Aleutian Islands, which belong to the United. States. Two hours after the sun has set upon our weatern limits it rises upon Mount Katahdin in Maine, and before darkness has settled down upon the westernmost of our Alasiean possearions. the. rndaw_ tines upon the esstern horizon in Maine proclaime the approach of day; so it is always daylight in the United States, ee Only $13,000. The Tidings says : “James Ennor, of the Ennor House of this place, says he will put the proposed road through from John Hasting’s place to connect. with the San Juan and Marysville road, at or near Sweetland, for the sum of $13,000.” That road will be a convenience to people living below San Juan when they want to come to the county seat,’ as a fine turnpike will be built from here to’ connect with it as surely as it is put through. Bank Dividend. The Citizens Bank at this city has declared. its thirteenth quarterly dividend of 50 cents a share, as will be seen by the official notice in another column, .

For about nine years I was almost shut out fromthe world by rheumatism, I had peddled small wares in this city for years, and had to stop altogether.

About Druggists. All draggists should be honorable gentlemen, and we are inclined to lieve the majority of them-are; but there are what is called “black sheep” in all professions. We came across one of the latter class not long sce. White ii his store a customer asked for Ammen’s Cough Syrup. As the druggist was doing it up for him he said, ‘‘I have a preparation which I can recommend as bettor than this,” The man said, ‘'I will take that then, but my friends have spoken so highly of Ammen’s Cough Syrup I thought I would try it.” Now, the writer having used Ammen’s Cough Syrup, and knowing its virtues, also knowing the manufacturer, and that he put it on the market for the benefit eer eC tet) ey eS of gain, had some curiosity to learn why the druggist preferred to sell some other remedy to it, Sowe asked him-why it was. Imagine his reply! He said, ‘Why, I make just eight cents more on the bottle I sold him than I would have made.on Auimen’s,” I said;~*Ob, that’s it,” “Yes,” he says, “I always recommend and try to sell what pays me the largest profit.” Comment is unnecessary, Let us hope that there are but few like him in the drug business. Meetiug the customer a few days later, and desiring to know if that kind of business paid, we mention-d the circumstance to him, and asked if the botile of medicine the druggist recommended did him any good, He said, ‘No, I used about one-third of it, ahd threw it away; I then went to another drugstore and bought a bottle of Ammen’s Cough Syrup, which sured my cold.” We asked, ‘‘Why did yeu go to another druggist?” He yeplied ‘Because, . shall never spend another cent with that man,”” ~~ € {This powder never varies, A mar vel of purity, strength and whol. someness More economical! than th Fl ordinary kinds, and cannot be sol t n competition with the maltitudéo ow test, short weight, alumor phoshate powders, SoLD ONLY IN CANK yas.

It seems after all that Nevada county is not the portion of the country around which all the rest of Uncle Sam’s domains revolve, as the actions of certain local ‘‘politicians” had almost led us to. believe, On the contrary, a reliable exchange ‘. points out the indisputable fact that the geographical center of the United States, which used to be somewhere near Omaha, is now, since the acquisition of Alaska, west of the mouth of the Columbia river, in the Pacitic Ocean, In other words, Portland, Oregon; is nearer to Portland Maine, than it is to the last of the Aleutian Islands, which belong to the United.

The Tidings says : “James Ennor, of the Ennor House of this place, says he will put the proposed road through from John Hasting’s place to connect. with the San Juan and Marysville road, at or near Sweetland, for the sum of $13,000.” That road will be a convenience to people living below San Juan when they want to come to the county seat,’ as a fine turnpike will be built from here to’ connect with it as surely as it is put through.

About Druggists. All draggists should be honorable gentlemen, and we are inclined to lieve the majority of them-are; but there are what is called “black sheep” in all professions. We came across one of the latter class not long sce. White ii his store a customer asked for Ammen’s Cough Syrup. As the druggist was doing it up for him he said, ‘‘I have a preparation which I can recommend as bettor than this,” The man said, ‘'I will take that then, but my friends have spoken so highly of Ammen’s Cough Syrup I thought I would try it.” Now, the writer having used Ammen’s Cough Syrup, and knowing its virtues, also knowing the manufacturer, and that he put it on the market for the benefit eer eC tet) ey eS of gain, had some curiosity to learn why the druggist preferred to sell some other remedy to it, Sowe asked him-why it was. Imagine his reply! He said, ‘Why, I make just eight cents more on the bottle I sold him than I would have made.on Auimen’s,” I said;~*Ob, that’s it,” “Yes,” he says, “I always recommend and try to sell what pays me the largest profit.” Comment is unnecessary, Let us hope that there are but few like him in the drug business. Meetiug the customer a few days later, and desiring to know if that kind of business paid, we mention-d the circumstance to him, and asked if the botile of medicine the druggist recommended did him any good, He said, ‘No, I used about one-third of it, ahd threw it away; I then went to another drugstore and bought a bottle of Ammen’s Cough Syrup, which sured my cold.” We asked, ‘‘Why did yeu go to another druggist?” He yeplied ‘Because, . shall never spend another cent with that man,”” ~~ € {This powder never varies, A mar vel of purity, strength and whol. someness More economical! than th Fl ordinary kinds, and cannot be sol t n competition with the maltitudéo ow test, short weight, alumor phoshate powders, SoLD ONLY IN CANK yas.
