important to locate the living heirs at
once.
William Edwards Is supposed to
have left South Carolina and settled
some where in Tennessee about 1886
or 40.
Thanking you in advance for your
kind assistance, am
Yours truly,

Buying
Beauty.
"If I was only good looking" is the
wish Of many a woman to-day.

"H wGs only gOOd-loohing, is the
wish Of many a woman to-day.
It never occurs. to most women that there
is beauty obtainable, at little trouble. 1t
is the beauty of rosy cheeks and ruddy
health Most women lose it through in
digestion, biliousness, disordered liver,
etc.
II YOU want to transform saliow COM
plexion into the glow of health you can do
1t bv cleansing the system from impurities
and causing the liver to work effectively.
No single medicine can accomplish all
that Is needed. A liver pill will merely
arouse the liver it will not purify the
blood, or repair the waste, or tone up the
system. For this YOU must follow your
liver pill with some powerful, invigorating
tonic.
The best, and also the least ex-
pensive preparation, is RaHnOn's
Tonic Liver Pills and Ra-
mons Tonic Pellets. You
get these two medicines in separate
boxes at the cost of one-OHly 20
cents. Your druggist will tell you
that this is a sure cure for bilious
ness and constipation.
