cause of whose death was the subject
of a widely read novel? I'll wager none

of salt, consequently her shroud is In
every household. Her death resulted
from looking backward. the title of Bel

81 am so nervous and ~wretched." 81 feel as if I should
fly" How familiar these expressions are! Little things
annoy you and make you irritable. You can't sleep, you are
unfit for ordinary duties, and are subject to dizziness.
That bearingdown sensation helps to make you feel
miserable.
You have backache and pains low down in the side, pain
in top of head, later on at the base of the brain.
Such a condition points unerringly to serious uterine
trouble.
If you had written to Mrs. Pinkham when you first ex-
perienced impaired vitality, you would have been spared
these hours of awful suffering.
Happiness will be gone out of your life forever, my sister,
unless you act promptly. Procure Lydia Il. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound at once. It is absolutely sure to
help you. Then write to Mrs. Pnkhan, at Lynn, Mass, if
there is anything about your case you do not understand.
You need not be afraid to tell her the things you could
not explain to the d~octor-your letter is seen only by women
and is absolutely confidential. Mrs. Pinkhams vast expert.
ence with such troubles enables her to tell you just what is
best for you, and she will charge you nothing for her advice.

Incorrigibility in children is an
unexplainable condition to parents
who have absolute control over
their offspring. They reason what
they would do had they such chill
dren in charge and satisfy their own
minds that such condition is con-
trary to all laws. Such reasoning
is exceedingly lame. Children are
not frequently incorrigible without
their fore bears are much to blame.
Conditions create the condition OF
incorrigibility and these self-satis>
fed parents in their own ability
would be quite as lame in raising
such children as were their par

The best information from all
parts of the county is that James
H. Whitley will not have cast for
him to exceed $50 votes. The
major portion OF this vote will come
from republicans, as Mr.. Whitley
was formerly a member of that
party. Populists throughout the
county should reason well with
themselves whether they are not
playing into republican hands by
casting a vote for Mr.. Whitley.
The vote tor Charles H. Wallis is
growing amazingly. Any well rea,
soning populist cannot but reason
that Mr.. Whitley's election is prac
tically impossible. A vote for Mr.
Whitley then is simply making a

populist of the tutility of voting TO,
