He Means Business.

In the columns of the LIGHT to-
day appears the announcement Of
Mr.. @. B. Hice, as a candidate for
alderman for the Third ward Mr..
Hice was nominated at a meeting
attended by more than one hun,
dred citizens Of the ward, and not
In a little closet near the court
house. The LIGHT can say this Of
Buck Hice: He was instrumental,
when an alderman, in extending
water mains in the ward, had sew
eral bridges built, few streets,
fixed up, and tried hard to get fire
protection for the suburbs, but was
blocked by brother alderman Of
the ward, who failed to support the
measure; and he did what no
other alderman Of the ward has.
done for the past fifteen years, got
into buggy and rode over the
ward, occasionally, and met and
talked with the people, and show ed
disposition to try to do some-
thing for his constituents. Mr..
Hice owns homestead in the
ward, with nice wife and three
promising children. Mr.. Hice is
not the candidate of the sewer con-
tractors, nor any other clique OF
political schemers.

Warning to the People.
To the Daily LIGHT:

To the Daily LIGHT:
Is it possible, that the voters in
Wards 2 and 3 will tamely suffer
the sewer contractors to elect their
candidates to the Council, at the
special election? The sewer con-
tractors, or to be more exact, the
sewer ring, already has plenty OF
mouth pieces in the council for
the welfare Of the city, and the
people need few aldermen to rep
resent their interest in the Council
and to flash an electric light on
the sewer octopus.
The people should elect men to
the Council, who will stand for the
public good and scorn to go into Ca
boot, with the sewer ring.

INVESTIGATED BY THE TEXAS
CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE AND
V0UCHED FOR BY DR.. C.
H. STANSBURY.
(FTonl the Texas Ctristtan AdUocdte.l

from the Te1oS Christian AdUocdte)
Our representative has made careful in.
vestigation of the ii. L. Spaulding case at
Longview, which is here published for the
first time, and which will be read with
great interest by medical men everywhere.
In reply TO the Christian Aduocdte's ques-
tons Mr.. Spaulding said About eight years
ago while running a locomotive contracted
sciatic rheumatism in my left side from my
hip down. 1t came on slow but sure and in
q few months lost control entirely of that
; member, 1t was just the same as if il was
/ paralyzed, was totally unable TO move out
of my room for year and a half, six
months of which time / was bed-ridden,
tried every remedy suggested, and had regu-
lar physicians in constant attendance on
me. / was bundled up and sent to Hot
7 Springs where | spent three months under
/ the treatment of the most eminent special
/ lists, all of which did me no good. and I
came back from the springs in a worse
/ condition than when went. came home
and laid fiat on my back and suffered
the most excruciating agonies, screaming in
/ pain every time anybody walked across the
room, the only ease | obtained being from
the constant use of opiates. After three
months of this kind of agony, during
which time my entire left leg persisted away
10 the very bone, my attention was called to
P a utW Atutu1 CdlltQ Ut. w llllHus INK
Pills for Pale People, by Mr.. Allison who ia
now train dispatcher at Texarkana, and
who was relieved of locomotor ataxia of
twenty years duration. At his urgent and
repeated solicitation ] consented to give
them a trial, after taking a few doses I
began to improve. continued taking the
pills and kept right on improving until
was finally cured. NY leg is Just the same
size now es the other one, and l am sure
that Pink Pills not only cured me but saved
my life.
The reporter next visited Dr. c. II. STAINS.
bury, q graduate of one of the medical
schools of Kentucky, and a man who enjoys
the confidence of everybody in Longview.
he said: know that Mr.. Spaulding had
n terribly severe attack of sciatic rheumatism
Of which l tried to cure him; used every-
thing known to my profession in vain. and
finally recommended him to 60 TO Hot
Springs. He came back from the springs
worse than when he went and | thought If
was only matter of time until his heart
would be affected and he would die. / also
know that his cure is the direct result ofthe
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
That is rather an unusual statement for
Irregular physician to make, doctor"
know it is, but a fact is a fact. and
there are hundreds of people right here in
Longylew who know what / say is the
truth. | also know Mr. Allison and know
that he was relieved of a genuine and severe
case of locomotor sta8ia of twenty years
standing"
