the weakness that most strongly in
1uences the health of children, comes
from some arrangement or disease of
the distinctly feminine organs. DR..

day Trade Good.
Rockdale Texas, December 26.--Three
or four days before Christmas the weather
cleared up and perfect throng Of peo-
pie from the country filled the stores and
the large stocks of holiday goods We're
practically disposed of. Farmers from
the black land district had difficulty in
navigating the roads, but most of them
succeeded. One of them, very promi-
nent man. created some amusement by
coming to town in his buggy drawn by four
horses. He was determined that Santa
Claus should not neglect his children.
The new year will open with much more
money in. circulation here than in years
past and the perpendicular drop to dull
ness usual at this time can hardly occur.
Business men generally look forward with
some ruefulness to the discord incident
to n political year, but it is safe to say
that Rockdale will do her share of the
shouting, however few OF the loaves and
fishes come her way.
MIR. George G. Clement, city attorney Of
Rockdale. will be married tomorrow at
Cameron and at the same time cease to
be citizen OF Rockdale. This necessarily
means his resignation as city attorney.
His associates in the local administration
are sending a souvnir to the bride-elect,
together with a. formal judgment against
her for alternating the affections of their
attorney by the use of divers arts and
charms and condemning her to life
term in the bonds of matrmony. etc. Mr.,
Clement is a rising young lawyer held in
the highest esteem by all of the citizens
of Rockdale. and much regret is felt at
his removal from the town.
