A Suggestion to the Commercial Club

1t has been suggested by several
business men that the commercial
club take up the matter of providing
quarters and facilities for public
auction in town each Saturday. The
plan is a cOmmendable one from every
point of view The plan is for the
town to provide the auetioneer and
furnish shelter and other accomada-
tions and make it absolutely free to be
held every Saturday afternoon. People
who come here to trade would appre-
ciate a scheme like this kind and the
money spent in launching it would be
well Invested. Journal hopes the
commercial club will take the matter
up and act favorably upon it. There
is nothing too good for Smith county
farmers and they all have an interest
in Smith Center.-Smith County
JournaI.-The above suggestion is a
good one for the commercial club OF
this city as well as for Smith Center.
AS soon as our club completes its or
ganization, it might with profit act
upon this and other suggestions for
the convenience of the people who
trade here.

The Baptist Roll Call.

The roll call of the Baptist church
was held Feb. %, celebrating the at
tainment of the majority of the
church, which was organized in 1880.
From the earliest times Baptists have
acted an important part in this town,
Having first organized in November,
1887, on West Hill, then the most pop
ulous part of the town. The church
is very active body of 80 members.
The Sunday school has a membership
of so and a home department of 40
members has been added the past
year. The library which has been
long closed, has been repaired and re-
newed and will be opened this month.
The young peoples society numbers
"a members and sustainS a Sunday eve
ming service and a monthly missionary
concert. Fifty-seven members of the
church responded at the roll call. A
bountiful supper was served to rs peo-
pie at 5 o'clock. Rev. II. NJ. Douglass,
former pastor, under whose careful
hand the burdensome debt was raised
in 1898, preached to an appreciative
audience in the evening. Deacon r.
o. Gassett, the first to enroll his name
on the church list, acted as toastmas-
ter and brought out the prominent fea'
lures of the church with a master
hand. The East Putney service, main

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
(BenSOn's Plaster Is Palms Mssisr)

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty years.
The very name of Oliver Ames & Son, was
a synonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is good" plaster does
not describe it tt is tho best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as a matter of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have n good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
ETC., are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none of the curative virtues
of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as a remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in a
comparative test with other plasters, Ben
sons has received .Jlttyy fOe highest a,oGrds.
Beware of substitutes and cheap limitations.
For sale by all druggists or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States on receipt of 25c. each.

A DECREASE IN WEIGHT
FREQUENTLY INDICATES
A DECLINE.
Our Modern Rebuilder, VinOl,
Will Help You Do It.
THE WAY 1T ACTS ON A DE-
PLETED CONSTITUTION is
SIMPLY MARVELLOUS.

Are you getting thin2 If you are
you had better watch yourself. Take
Vinol. 1t will build you up quickly
and surely.
A healthy man does not vary much
from year to year in his weight.
This is as it should be. Vinol enables
the organs of the body to renew flesh,
muscle tissue, bone structure, and at
tends to purifying the great vital cur
rent of the human system, the blood.
Vinol contains the active curative
properties of Cod-Liver Oil in highly
concentrated state, and is the most
wonderful tonic that we have ever had
anything TO do with.
Vinol acts upon the stomach in
beneficial way, enabling it to obtain
for itself the necessary ingredients
from the food that is taken into it to
build up the pure healthy body and in
crease the weight
Mr. II. NJ. Stufell, who is a we'll
known passenger trainman on the
Boston and Maine Railroad, suffered,
as many railroad men do, with kidney
and other troubles. He writes as fol-
lows:
"My kidneys troubled me a great
deal my bowels were very irregular, l
had great distress in my stomach. suf-
fered with bilious headaches, had no
appetite, could not sleep nights, and
was losing flesh rapidly. l began to
take Ninol, / am now on my third bot
tie, and it is doing wonders for me.
| My kidneys are better, my bowels are
again regular, my stomach no longer
| troubles me, and no more headaches,
and as for appetite, don't speak of it;
sleep like a top and have gained
| thirteen pounds. You can count on
me always to recommend Vinol as the
| king of medicines
With many such testimonials as
the above coming before US, it is not
strange that we endorse VinOl as
strongly as we do. We unheSitat-
ingly agree to return to any one
who has taken VinOl and is not
satisfied that it has accomplished all
that we claim for it every cent that
they have paid US for this remedy.

they got off at the Putney station, ard
it was with some difficulty that they
were finally piloted to the shanty on
the town farm, where Mr.. Adams is
clearing off a wood.lOt. On Tuesday
morning they left the woods, allowing
themselves just time enough to reach
the forenoon train south. Their alb.
scnce was learned by a. c. Cobb, who
has charge of the job, and he and MI.
Adams started in team in hot pr
suit. They stopped at the home Of
Sheriff Wilkins-an act that resulted
fatally to their aim. After relating
their story to Mr.. Wilkins the pursu-
ers continued their chase, Mr.. Adams
thinking all the while of the $40
which he paid out in fares for trans
porting the foreigners from New York

station just in time to shout adieus as
the train disappeared around the bend.
A company of 10 Polanders came from
New York to work on one of Mr..
Adamss jobs several weeks ago, but
five of them left suddenly a short
