eighth chapters of Judges there is recorded
the story of Gideon and his band and an
interesting account of the peculiar battle
fought. in which pitcher and a lantern
played an important part. One of the men,

STEELE PLANT.

Clarence Steele and Miss Annie
Plant we're married last Sunday
afternoon. Justice Al. Utley Of
ficiating. 1T was a case of elope-
ment, the mother of the bride OBJ
jecting ON account of the young
lady's age.
Mrs. Steele is the daughter of
the late Jefferson Plant of Hum
phreys County, and a most charm
ing young lady. Her mother, Mrs.
Efie Plant, realized that some
thing was to be done to prevent
her daughters marriage. So ar
rangements we're made to place her
in school, aud everything was in
readinessforher to leave forschool
Monday. In the meantime the
groom suddenly got busy. Pro-
curing the necessary papers, he
proceeded to Big Bottom Sunday
morning, and inasmuch as it was
the young lady's last day at home
her mother did not interfere when
she observed the young couple to-
gether at church. Doubtless her
heart was softened by the memory
of other years.
Be this as it may, other thoughts
we're passing in the minds of the
young people. At the first oppor-
tunity they drove rapidly to Ten
nessee River, and while standing
on the west bank Of this placid
stream at Cooley's Landing the
nuptial knot was tied which made
the twain one. Mr.. and Mrs. Steele
then drove to Camden and are stop
ping at the home of the groom's
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Steele

The statement of the Farmers

A comparative statement is given

ing the rapid strides the bank is
making. The Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank is a good illustration
of the adage "The way to progress
isbe progressive" and it alsosho
the splendid financial condition
of our county. The bank will APP
,preciate your business and will
,giveyou the best service consistent
with good banking.
THERE'S strong probability that
Camden will soon have a military
company. At least an effort is
being made to perfect an organiza-
ton of this kind with good pros
poets of success. Arch Townsend
and Arch Schwalb, who have the
matterin hand, have secured near
ly fifty names of young men for
the company, and application has
been made to the adjutant general
for enlistmentin the Second Reg
ment State guards. A good mill
itary company would add to the
life of the town, and we wish the
young men all success.

DISTRESS AFTER MEALS
Sure Sign That Dr.Williams' Pink Pills
Are Needed to Tone Up the
Digestive Organs,

Loss of appetite, distress after eating,
shortuesS of breath, feeling of utter
" sallless--these are symptoms that are
familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble. Too often the ordinary doctors
treatment serves but to weaken the dis
eaSed organs.
The new tonic method of treating dis
orders of this kind does not aim to do the
work of the stomach does not demand
that tho FOO be pre-digested, but builds
up the weakened organs, 50 that they cam
do the work that nature intended.

Scarcely one. They all forget,
Or are not In the notion to go quite yet,
But this she knows, II her boy is near,
There Is somebody certain to want to
hear.
Mother is proud and she holds him fast,
And kisses him first ard kisses him last
And he holds her hand and looks In her

And hunts for her spool which is out of

And proves that he loves her whenever

That is why she is proud of her little
