THREE DOCTORS IN CONSULTA
TION.
From Benjamin Franklin.

"When you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for a medicine in the
first place; what experience tells you is
best, to be chosen in the second place;
what reason ii. e., Theory says is best
to be chosen in the last place. But if
you can get DIR. Inclination, Or. Expe-
rience and Dr. Reason to hold CONSUL
tation together, they will give you the
best advice that can be taken"
When you have n bad cold DR.. Inclina-
ton would recommend Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant
and safe to take. Dr. Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to
effect a speedy and permanent cure. DR..
Reason would recommend it because it is
prepared on scientific principles, and acts
on natures plan in relieving the lungs,
opening the secretions and restoring the
system to natural and healthy cOndi-
ton. For sale by J. Hal Bobbitt, Henry

But Mr.. Young gets there. When he
was a candidate for clerk four years
ago, he promised to appoint Il negro us
deputy clerk. Young was elected, and
more than two years elapsed before he
complied with his promise to the ne
groes. Finally, as the time began to roll
around when he wanted denomination,
Young thought of his promise and mac de
n negro his deputy. He got the re-
nomination, and expects to get elected by
negro votes. 1t is certain that he will
get very few white men to vote for
him after his negro record.
