The Wind Blew at 40 Miles Hour
and People Stayed at Home.
Perhaps it was the ronring gale that
kept SO many people away from Mrs.
Leases lecture last night. Less than
three hundred persons were in atten
dance and the door receipts were less
than $50 Among the striking things
that Mrs. Lease said we're:
"a condition that makes it posi- BILE
for the granddaughter of a mouse trap
peddler to pay two million dollars for
poverty stricken French nobleman and
at the conclusion of'the bargain and sale
to give a wedding breakfast costing $780,
O00,' while 10000 people in the city of
New York go without breakfast, dinner,
or supper, is a menace to our civiliza-
ton.
"a condition that makes it possible
for daughter of the Vanderbilts to pay
ten million dollars fo- the disreputab.e,
cast of, WORKOUT rags of old world roy
atty and purchase for herself scion of
the British peerage who bears in his
veins the bankrupt blood of the Jeffreys
and the Marlboroughs is a menace to
our republican institutions. Applause.
And when we remember that every dol
lar of the Gould and Vanderbilt wealth
has been tilched by class legislation
from the honest hand of American toll,
then such a condition becomes not only
a menace to our republican institu ions
but disgrace to our civilization, a stlg-
ma upon American manhood"

THOMPSON, Ga, Nov. 90
Dear Sirs-After using tobacco nearly
twenty-seven years l took two and one
half boxes of your No To Bac, which
freed me of the pernicious habit, and
have not tasted tobacco since, neither
have 1 any desire for it. l had previous
ly tried q number of antidotes, but with
out success. Some months ago 1 pro-
cured three boxes for the Hon. c. II.
Ellington of this place, late State Sena-
tor. and now President of the Farmers
State Alliance of Georgia. He had
used tobocco excessively for thirty years.
He used two boxes of No To Bac and
Immediately discontinued the use of
tobacco. Yours truly,
r. H. PEARCE, Clerk of Supr. CT.
1t all rests with you-why not try No
To- Bac under absolute guarantee of cure
by your own druggist? If you don't like
feeling well, enjoying new manhood,
you can learn tobacco using over again.
