"Just then," says a newspaper account, "a darky was seen strutting up the aisle with a trencher on which a barbecued opossum sat grinning in a bed of gravy and sweet potatoes." After the feast was over the attendant guests pulled our their churchwardens and smoked the tobacco famed in those far-off days —Dill's Best. Dill's Best -was the ruling favourite then in Dixie —to-day it' is the ruling favourite throughout the world.—Advt. "Summer, the golden crown'd summer, is here."—Houseman. Yes! Summer is the best and brightest season of the year. It only loses its zest when one gets that "most" annoying and distressing of summer complaints—a cold. But why let such a trifle bother you? —Baxter's Lung Preserver will give you prompt relief. It also tones up your system against further attacks. Get a bottle from your chemist or storekeeper to-day. Generous-sized bottle 2s Gd, large, economical size 4s Gd, bachelor's size la 6d.
