Nerve Fag. If You Waste Your Nerve Energy, After Awhile You Will
 Suffer For 1t.

You can waste nerve force by excess, over-work, worry, anxiety, etc.
 You can weaken yourself by not eating proper food or securing sufficient rest to renew the nerve energy you use up.
 The proper treatment, in addition to good phosphatic food, such as whole meal bread, prepared cereals, etc., Is .Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine.
 This is as truly a brain and nerve food as any food you could eat, and be- sides, furnishes strength and tone of it's own, which goes to the weakened nerve system, and sets it to rights.
 Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine Is re- freshing, revitalizing tonic food-medicine for the brain and nerves. It reconstructs worn-out nerve tissue, and fills your languid brain with new life and vigor.
 Dr. Miles Nervine has made so many marvellous cures, of people so sick the doctors thought they were incurable, that it is today the standard medicine in many thousands of American homes.
 TheSfirst bottle is guaranteed to help you, or druggist returns your money.
 "The extreme heat, close confinement and intense mental strain incident to to suffer with nervousness and insom. mia. It gives me pleasure to say that I have used Dr. Miles Nervine with very satisfactory results in the treat ment of these affections. am now on my fifth bottle. and eat and sleep, we'll; possess nerves."-R. l..

INDEPENDENTS
 BABY CONTEST,

Here IS the proposition and the rules governing the contest:
 There is a handsome $25.00 solid gold locket with diamond setting and solid gold chain, on display at the Palace Jewelry store, to be given away Decem- Der 24th, 1904, to the baby boy or girl under two years of age, who wins the highest number of votes as the prettiest and sweet est baby. Now the baby that is not pretty is surely sweet, and if the wee tot be a little cross at times, beauty must offset this badness. Fond parents at least are expected to think their ba- bies are both sweet and beauti- ful, and so they do. But to set tie once for all the claims of the under two, and put at rest this rivalry of mothers and fathers, the Independent has inaugurated a contest that is to be determined by that cherished right, popular ballot, and in accordance with the following rules:
 BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
 First-No baby that has reach ed the age of two years Nov. 1, 1904, is eligible to this contest, nor shall any employe or party connected with this paper be eli gible to vote.
 Second Every issue of the Daily and Weekly Independent from November 1 to December A, will contain a ballot entitling the holder to one vote in this contest. For every dollars worth of job, work, advertising and subscription paid for between these dates coupon good for ten votes will be issued, but no cou- pons will be issued for sums less than $1.00. Coupons will not be sold, and will only be issued for job, ad and subscription busi- ness, but extra copies of the h. dependent at 2 cents per copy, each containing one ballot, will be sold at this office.
 Third-All votes must be sent to this office and will be de- posted in a lock box, to be opened at 8 o'clock each publication day and counted. The daily issue of that afternoon will contain the total of the several candidates and the public will thus be kept informed of the voting each day.
 Fourth-A committee of three good business men will be select ed to canvass the ballots the morning of Dec. A and announce the winner. All ballots must be deposited at this office by II a. m., Dec. "A, 1904.
 Read the rules carefully.

JOHNSON-TERRY
 CHURCH WEDDING
Celebrated Tuesday Evening at Methodist Church-Brilliant Reception Follows in
 Wake.

Bailey Johnson Of thlS clty ana MT. George Jefferson Terry of Prescott, solemnized at the Meth odist church Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, under the prettiest of settings in the way of elaborate and beautiful floral decorations, was not only an event of interest to local society, but attracted many out of town visitors, unit ing as it does in the holy tie, two prominent families of different cities and sections.
 Autumn foliage in all it's rich ness and striking tints of color contributed chiefly to the embel- lishments of the church's beau ty, with here and there huge punches of chrysanthemums, in- terwoven with red berries. The semi-circular chancel was hidden beneath mass of vines and foli- age.
 The wedding party reached the church promptly at eight o'clock, their entrance being pre- ceded by that favorite solo, 70 Promise Me-" sung by Mrs. c. A. Hillhouse in her clear, sweet so- prano.
 Following this came the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march rendered by Miss Mae Whitaker. The ushers, Messrs. Will McGof- fin, Sprigg Fourshee, w. T. Par rish and Ralph Richardson, en- tered the church singly by way of the two side aisles. Following them came the groomsmen and bridesmaids, first, MT. Charles Holmes and Miss Aubrey Arnold, Mir. Ernest Mcdonald and Miss Mae McElwee, who entered sing ly, but opposite each other, on the outside aisles; then the maid of honor Miss Josephine Phillips, who came down the center aisle, followed by the bride, who was met at the altar by the groom and his best man, MT. Will Can't ley, who entered the church from che left door and took their posi- tions to the right of the altar.
 The ceremony was very beau- tifully said by Dr. Cadesman Pope, who pronounced the bles- sings of the Divine upon the plighted troth.
 The bride wore a handsome gown of shirred silk mousseline over white taffeta, trimmed with a deep bertha of point lace, her bridal veil reaching to the hem of her dress. She carried an eX- Quisite bouquet of brides roses and ferns and was indeed beau- tiful to behold. The maid of honor and bridesmaids wore ( ain' " costumes of white silk w. .eh deep yokes and lace berthas and carried bouquets of white arnations.
 A reception to the bridal party followed the ceremony at the home of the brides mother and sister, Mesdames Margaret Johnson and Harry Herring. Here, too, the decorators work was everywhere apparent and the fragrance of cut flowers per- m eated the atmosphere and en- hanced the good feeling of the prOplClOuS event.
 Delicious brick cream and cake W gre served and the cutting of the wedding cake afforded the usual fun and merriment.
 The many beautiful and useful presents received by the newly wed testify to the number of th eir friends, both far and near.
 The bride is one of Newport's D, ettiest and most popular girls, W tn disposition and high char 2 ,er that insure the continuance of the love of the sweetheart in
