John Prowse made a break the
other day that is going to lose
Gracey to the Ring ticket next
Tuesday. One day last week Har-
rison Bros. gave ''negrominstrel"
show at Gracey. The performers
were full-blooded sons of Ham and
the show they put up was attended
by the best people of Gracey. The
town authorities could find no law
to tax the show except $50 for "a
tented exhibition and as it was
not this kind of a show they
passed the proposition up to
John. Deputy Clerk Will Wicks
took up the problem and finally
made the Harrisons pay SIS for CIV
ing trained animal show" The
show men protested that their col
ored men were not animals, but
genuine artists and professional
entertainers, but nothing but cash
would satisfy the demand from the
county clerks office. Now the coll
ored population around Gracey are
hopping mad because the colored
were classed as TRAINED
animals by the young man repre-
senting one of the Ring candidates.
Some of them are even saying that
the five dollar william was needed
to Doodle the boys with on election
day, and make them forget the
past.

This reminds me that DR.. Nance.

chewing a rag because he says
John held him up and made him
pay license of $3.50 on a mascut
line hog. The Doctor now says he
has had lawyer to look up the
matter and there was no authority
for collecting the license and that
when he pointed this out to Mr..
Prowse, John told him it was too
late to correct the mistake. am

FOR MALARIA,

The Best Prescription Is Groves
Taste1eSs Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle.
SO That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imtators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
IRON acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all ether so-called Taste
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior TO all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Groves-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malaral sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, soc
