Sometimes the most careful
women are the most careless.
Many a women bundles herself
up, to keep out sickness-when
she is neglecting the very worst
sickness that can come to a wo-
man. She allows a slight dis
order to become worse, to slowly
sap her vitality. The little pain
and the other slight indicat tions
of trouble seem to her unimpor-
tant. She goes on, with increas-
ing suffering, until life itself be-
comes drag. Nervousness,
''sinking spells," digestive dis
turbances, and fifty other COM
plications may arise from the de-
rangement of the organs distinct

ago, the need for reliable rem

plaints'' was recognized by DR..
r. V. Pierce, then, as now, chief

pared DR.. Picrce's Favorite Pre-

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Holds Special Meeting and En-.
dOrses the Appointment of General
Robert Bullock as County
Judge.-AnOther Wrangle
Over the Tax List
Printing.

Pursuant to call from the
chair, the county executive COM
mittee met in the court house at
noon today. There were twenty
three out of twenty-six members
present in person or by proxy.
Chairman Harris stated object of
meeting to be to recommend
county judge to succeed the late
Judge Jas. III. Hill. He said the
governor, upon the recommended
tion of many leading citizens
from the county, together with
the request from our representa-
tives in legislature appointed
General Robt. Bullock to the po-
sition. Whereupon General Bull
lock said that he would not ac-
ccpt the appointment unless it be
ratified and endorsed by the COM
mittee. By unanimous vote the
committee endorsed the action of
the governor in appointing Ger
eral Bullock. Whereupon the
general in accepting the office
made most appropriate and I'M
pressive speech. He hopes to
have the papers filed and be
ready to open the office for busi-
ness next Wednesday morning.
A resolution was offered re-
questing the board of county
commissioners to keep the tax
books spen until the first of Sep
tember. Mr.. Turner moved to
amend by keeping them open un-
til July 1st. Mr.. M. L. Payne
made an eloquent and forcible
speech against the resolution,
saying that the poor people had
nearly all paid their taxes and
that an extension of the time
would only favor the rich people
and corporations. DR.. d. A.
Smith opposed the extension of
the time any longer than July 1.
Mr.. w. E. Allen, a member of
the board of county commission
ers, being a member of the COM
mittee by proxy, informed the
committee that the law was ex-
plicit and only authorized the ex-
tension of the time for closing
the books thirty days and that
the commissioners had no option
in the matter, and that according
to law the books had to close on
the first of this month. At the
close of his speech he, together
with a number of other members
of the committee, left the room,
feeling that the committee had
no jurisdiction in the matter and
that the whole motion was out of
order.
The motion passed by a very
small majority, but the whole
thing was considered out of order
by many of the leading members
present, and will doubtless have
little or no weight with the coun-
ty commissioners.

The clti- zens of Kent have each year observed the day, but it is notable fact that the enthusiasm and interest shown in its observance in 1897 surpassed that of former years. Much credit is due MT Cliff for the arrangement of the exercis- es and careful training of scholars. also to Miss Amy Hopson as musical director, and to all who so willingly assisted.
