While no womani is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual
ton is a severe strain on a woman's
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham that Lydia Il. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
full and irregular menstruation.
1t provides a safe and sure way of es-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
vincingly what Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes of $40 N. Davi-
sion Street, Buffalo, n. Y, writes;
Dear Mrs. P~inkham:-
"Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine
for women. / suffered misery for years with
painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down
pains. / consulted two different physicians
but failed to get any relief. A friend from
the East advised me TO try Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. / did so, and
no longer suffer as l did before. MY periods
are natural; every ache and pain is gone, and
my general health is much improved. /

We leave this for the people of the
localities interested to decide, while we
try to induce those who have to use it,
for sicknnss or for family use in any
way, to use pure whiskey. The kind
that does the least harm and the mnst
good. We don't suppose there ever
was or ever will be a person but who
would want pure whiskey if he
could get it, and yet, the impure arti-
Gle has been sold so much, and the
claim so often made that it was pure,
that some people do not know the taste
or qualifications of the genuine article.
Convenience again causes some to
be careless in ordering their whiskey.
They either imagine they will not ge'
their orders filled promptly, or that we
r too far away to give their orders
the attention they should have. Still
another wrong impression, as we de-

During the last three months we have
%endeavored to give the readers of this
paper a few facts concerning whiskey
to guide them In its use and buying.
We have already received magnificent
results, and are particularly pleased
with u part of the advertising, and

to go more into details, we will give

WAGON.

Blessed is the man who putteth
his trust in God" On last Monday
A. M, Mr.. R. b. Kneece in company
with Mr.. Blease, left here in one
horse wagon to 80 out in the country
on business. Just beyond J. W. Coon
er's on the Mt. Willing road, the
mule became unmanageable-an and in
an endeavor to hold him. the lines
parted; MIR Blease was thrown out
and bruised up to a certain extent.
Mr.. Kneece was thrown from the
wagon with great force and fell on the
back of his head with such violence as
to kill him outright. In all probabil-
ity his neck was broken.
Mr. Kneece was about thirty three
years OF age and was son of Mr..
John NJ Kneece.
He is survived by 4 devoted wife
and four small children.
He was, and had been for long
time consistent member of the
Bethel Baptist Church. His life Was
Christ-like: he was man, who was
not ashamed OF Him, Who be came
flesh and dwelt among us.
1t was pleasure to converse with
him on things spiritual.

world in the hollow of his hand and,
WHO tempersthe winds to the shorn
land''-deal gently with the widow
and children, who are bowed down
and in great grief over their loss. To
