HEIGHT OF CRUELTY.

Nervous women seldom receive the
sympathy they deserue. While often the
pictures of health, they are constantly all
ing. To withhold sympathy from these
unfortunates is the heigh, of cruelty. They
have weak heart, causing shortness Of
breath, fiuttering pain in side, weak and
hungry spells, and finally swelling Of
ankles, oppression, checking, smothering
and dropsy. DR.. Miles New Heart Cure
is Just the thing for them. For their ner-

sQUARELY IN THE RACE.

Colonel Richard T. Gentry of Sc.
dalia is now squarely in the race for
nomination as state treasurer. He
made one campaign for that Office,
which resulted in his securing the
largest vote on the first ballot of any
candidate before the convention, and
he thinks he is now in position to win
the title. He is Missourian by birth,
a native Of Pettis county, and a son
of Major William Gentry, who was
the Granger nominee for governor in
1874, and who served many years az
the democratic presiding judge of the
Pettis county court. He is brother
in-law of Mr.. Theo. Shelton of the
Gauss-Shelton Hat Company, and tt
intimate friend of Mr.. Charles Bullen
of the Continental Bank. In
1873 Mr.. Gentry was elected to the
office of Treasurer of Pettis county,
and served two years, and so we'll
satisfied were the people with his ad-
ministration that he was reelected in
1882, serving another full term.
During his incumbency as county
treasurer, he successfully funded the
county Indebtedness, and made no
charge for that extra and special SER
vice. Mr.. Gentry has recently be-
come interested in the real estate
booms of Birmingham, Nashville,
Chattanooga and Hot Springs, and
has evolved quite large amount OF
profit from his investments
