AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.
So Thinks at Least One rraveIlno Ma,

l would as soon think of starting out without my mileage books and grip as to start on trip without box of Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets in my vaise, said a travelling man who represents a St Louis hardware house. Why? Because I have to put up at all kinds of hotels and board ing houses. l have to eat good, bad and indifferent food at all hours of the day and night and I don't believe any mans stomach will stand that sort of thing without protest anyway I know mine won't. It has to have something to break the fall and Stuarrs Dyspepsia Tablets is the crutch I fall back on
 My friends often josh" me about if. tell me I'm an easy mark for patent medi- cine fakers, that advertised medicines are humbugs, etc, but I notice that they are nearly always complaining of their aches and pains and poor digestion. while I can stand most any old kind of fare and feel good and ready for work when 1t needs me. and believe owe my good digestion and sound health to the daily, regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. year Ill and year out, and all the "ioshing" in the world will never convince me to the con- trary.
 I used to have heartburn about three times a day and headache about three or four times a week and after standing for this for four or five years began to look around for a crutch and found 1t when my doctor told mo tho best invest ment I could make would be fifty cent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and have invested about fifty cents a month for them ever since and when I stop to think that that is what I spend every day for cigars. feel like shaking hands with myself for I can keep my stomach and digestion in first class order for fifty cents a month I don't care for any better life insurance.
 My druggist tells me they are the most popular of all stomach medicines and that they have maintained their popularity and success because they do as advertised They bring results, and results are what count in patent medicine as much as in selling barbwire.

 J. A. Prince, who has served as post master of Pratt City for ten years, and whose term of service does not expire un- til 1906. is a very hard-worked man. AL though these 5000 people may not write letters, still they all expect to receive some and go regularly to the postoffice to ask for their mail The postoffice is oad- ly in need of some additional clerks as the work is entirely too heavy for the present force.

Teagues wound is from pistol ball which penetrated the thigh to the bone. While the cause of the shooting is not given, there is every reason to suspect there is a wom- an in it.
