night sweats SO severe that was compelled 70

sweat at night. but through the day would
have cold clammy sweats that made me feel
very bad. Several times my friends were sent
for, my family thinking that would soon die.
While I'm this condition read your adver-
tsement in the Journal Of this city and your
method of treatment seemed so reasonable that
l concluded to try once more to get relief at
least. 1 began by using your Pills. Tonic and
Pulmonic Syrup. and In very short time be-
gan to feel much better. By the time had
used dozen bottles OF the Pulmonic Syrup
and Seaweed Tonic my cough was entirely
gone, my hemorrhages and night sweats had
stopped, and began to gain in strength rapid

DIR. SCHENcK:
Dear Sir-As informed you when you were

ances what your medicines have done for my
family. But, feeling that l can do 30 much
more for those who suffering with lung
diseases by giving you a statement of my case

coming TO this conclusion, / have been influ-
enced by the fact that mine was a case OF here
dltary Consumption. to prove which had the
evidence OF several prominent physicians OF this
city, as well as the fact that my father mother
and sister died Of the disease T.

settled on my lungs giving me great pain.
had continual hacking cough, which weak
ened me very much and kept me from sleeping
at night. In fact. I had all the well-known
symptoms of the disease.
II is probable that should have gone to an
early grave but for the you had made in my
daughters case. Her restoration to such perfect
health by the use of your medicines, induced me
to use them. for previous to that time | had al
ways considered patent medicines humbugs.
Before l had taken bottle of the Pulmonic
Syrup l felt greatly relieved, and was then sure
tinued IN the use of them until last October when
l considered myself entirely we'll | have never
had such perfect health as ] have had since that
time, and it seems that | am growing better and
better every day.
l think / have reason TO believe that your
tried them in my own case, well as tina. of my
daughter.

Weakness of the Lungs. caused by Heavy
Colds and Lung Fever, Cured.

In the month of August, 1880, l took a heavy
cold on my lungs which weakened them very
much. was often exposed in bad weather, and
my lungs became much infamed, and finally was
thrown into lung fever. My physician soon broke
great soreness Of the lungs. which it seems he
could do nothing for. At last, through the advice
Of my employer, Mr.. Thomas Vaughan, began to
use DR.. Schencks Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed
Tonic, and after continuing their use for some
weeks reganed my former health and strength
| believe DR.. Schencks medicines to be good and
reliable in lung diseases, having heard OF several
persons since my recovery who have used them
with great benefit.

A Plea for More and Better Roads

EDITOR FREE PRESS: 1t strikes me that
our road question needs ventilation. Our
board of supervisors it seems to me are not
acting to secure the accommodation of our
citizens 1 think county should be COM
pany organized to do what individuals alone
do, but putting our funds and wisdom
together, work for the good of the whole.
Now are not roads necessity to the well
fare of all? The merchant needs roads that
MS customers may came and buy his goods !;
the farmer needs roads that he may carry of
his produce and buy what he needs; the
children need roads to get to school; the
officers need resls to hunt up their victims
aud attend to their official duties we all
need roads to go to church, Sunday school,
mill, and the county site. Then why not
levy Tux, say five cents on each hundred
dollars of taxable property of the county,
divide it to supervisors districts pro rata if
you wish, ms fund, to open roads where
they are needed would be glad to sign a
petition to our board to levy this tax. Hope
some enterprising citizens will circulate
it through the county, for believe all first
class citizens would sign it, and show to our
board that we do not approve of their no
road system, as understand at least one of
them says he will not give cent to any road.
Now do not think the policy fair that asks
IL. md
pass to give the land, Guild the extra fencing,
when all are interested in the road, it GER
tainly is enough for him to give the land
and pay taxes on it to the county, and let the
merchants and town people help build the
extra fence, bridges etc., on the road, and
then let 1t belong to the county. Again,
what profit is the fine court house to be
built at San Maacos to Us, If we have no
roads? For my part, Messrs Supervisors,
would rather have left off few thousand
from that building and bad roads, if We can
not afford both. was struck by the differ
between Travis county and ours on my trip
to Austin; the roads were wide and well
worked; it looked like the difference of a
bad farmer and good one. I felt bad for
my county.
1 thought when 1 sat down that would
say something about other things but the
road question has absorbed all Small grain
looks well and there is q Large acreage in.
It looks like spring hiss come our farmers

Our Waxahatchie exchange. the Mirror
thinks that 'rhe present road law Of Texas
is grand farce and disgrace to the statutes
of tho state. 1t works an injustice in the
fact that the greater portion OF the road tax
or work, as the case mny be, falls upon the
laboring classes, while the men who own
their hundreds and thousands pay only the
same amount as the poor boy Of eighteen
who hasn't red" and if the wealthy man
has passed forty-five years of age he pays
nothing. Taxation should be equal and just
The poll tax should be the same with all
parties, and that men should pay taxes in pro
portion to what they are worth. 1t is not a
just law that requires the poor man who has
no wagon or team to pay rs much to keep
the roads in good order Us one who has a
dozen: but Texas has such law, and it is q
disgrace to her statute book.

really good aud nice building NJ indicative
of the progress OF the county, and trusted
that Il would be of such . character that II

before striking the frat ticks, said he landed

H. S. Harvey, who had been sent for, ar

his proper time. He first came to this
county in 1915 along with Gen. Burleson
aud Maj Lindsey who laid off the town;
but Mr. Harvey did not state whether he
settled here then or not. However it was not
long after, at any rate.
DIR. Woods closed the procession of vet

Thus closed an occasion which will long
be remembered with interest by the partici-
