Some of our farmers have again
been badly caught with the last

grain out two by two SO as to give
the sheaves a chance to dry out, but
the rains came and gave them an

When your stomach begins to
t-oublc you, it needs help. The
help it needs is to digest your food,
aud. until it gets it. you won't have
any peace. Stomach trouble is very
distressing, very obstinate, very
dangerous. Many of the most dam
gerous diseases begin with simple in
digestion. The reason is that indi-
Igestion (not-digestion, not-nourish-
Iment) weakens the system and al
lows disease germs to attack it. The
antidote is Shaker Digestive Cordial,
strengthening, nourishing, curative.
1t cures Indigestion and renews
strength and health. 1t does this
by strengthening the stomach. by
helping it to digest your food. Ii
nourishes you. Shaker Digestive
Cordial is made of pure herbs, plants
and wine, is perfectly harmless and
will cure all genuine stomach trou.

a DEMOCRAT.

The excessive amount of fig
ures that it would take to give
the very elaborate showing of the
public school finance as present
by the County Superintendent
prevents us from printing same.
But we will say that he shows us
to have had $1.30 per capita in
April, and zoe in last October
making Us a very respectable
showing for schools. He thinks
there should be an effort On the
part of directors and patrons TO
make the schools better. To see
how much money your district
will have, multiply $3.50 by the
number Of pupils in your district,

Make No Mistake.

1t is very important that the
democrats of the eighth congress
si0nal district make no mistake in
the selection of a candidate this
year. So far, there is but one
candidate announced, and while
others have been mentioned, it is
very likely he will have no serious
opposition.
Hon. T. w. Sims, the candidate
referred to, is, to considerable
extent, entitled to the nomination
and we believe the democrats of
at least q great proportion Of the
district see it that way. The fact
that he lives in a section Of coun-
try from which no candidate has
ever been selected, a section, the
people of which feel that they have
been overshadowed in the selec-
ton of candidates by the larger
and mols populous counties, gives
him very just claims upon the
democracy of the district for a
favorable consideration Ofhls can.
didacy. His actjoh two years ago
for the sake of harmony when the
party was in danger of being
entangled in a wrangle over the
selection of a candidate, cannot be
overlooked by those who desire
to recognize party service.
Mr.. Sims is an able man, and
while we are advocating, specially
no mans cause we do not believe
the party could do better than
give him the nomination. He
will get out votes that would b.
very hard for anyone else to get
10 the polls.-CarrOll County
