ed The democrats are more uneasy
about this district than any other in the

of success. He has strengthened his
chances by making n vigorous fight on

tenth district is also the scene of hot
fight between State Senator Hal Flood
and Colonel X. r. Hubbard. The district
is always close. The Indications are
that Flood will win.
To sum UP the whole matter, 1t looks as
though the democrats will carry the state
by as large n majority as four years

ten congressman. But there may be
some surprises. The negroes are regis

Run your eye up and down
the advertising columns and
notice the number of medicines
that are advertised and the
promises they make.
Most of them guarantee to
cure almost everything.
You are bewildered between
the good and the bad, the real
and the humbugs.
Well, if you bite at every
weed you find in the fields, you
will run across trouble sooner
or later.
Ayers medicines were made
in the good old days when
promise and performance went
hand in hand.
They're as good today.
