Difficulty at County Court House

On last Wednesday morning at the
court house in the presence OF Mr..
George f. Garrett, Mr.. w. w. Douglass,
Mr.. r. g. l.. MOncure and Mr.. ii. II.
Thomas. SIR. Curtis b. Graham, COM
missioner of revenue, publicly charged
that George II. Rucker as clerk had at
tempted to rob the county OfS6OO. Mr..
Rucker was not present, but his deputy,
Mr.. Thomas, Immediately resented the
charge and branded it as unquallhedly
false, upon which Mr.. Graham started
toward Mr.. Thomas with the evident
intend of assaulting him. Mr.. Will W..
Douglass thereupOn stepped between
them and said Mr.. Graham would not
strike that young boy (Mr. Thomas)
while he was present, because he had
told Mr.. Graham the truth. Whereupon
Mr.. Graham used some of his choice
English to the effect, "What have YOU
got to do with it, you -" From
all accounts the sentence was never nm
ished, as trip-hammer suddenly came
against Mr.. Graham's eye and he fell
over against the safe. Parties interviewed
and thus ended this little chapter. A
few minutes later, Mr.. Rucker came up
from the railroad station, and the first
man to greet him, shake hands with him,
and congratulate him was the same Mr..
Graham who bad few minutes before
publicly charged him of trying to rob
the county Monitor.

No Poison in ChamberIain's Cough
Remedy.

From Napier, New Zealand, Herald
Two years ago the Pharmacy Bard Of
New South Wales, Australia, had an
analysis made of all the cough medicines
that they declared we're entirely free from
all poisons. This exception was Cham
beriain's Cough Remedy, made by the
Chamberlain Medicine Company, Des
Moines. Iowa, U. S. A. The absence
of all narcotics makes this remedy the
safest and best that can be had; and it is
with feeling of security that any moth
er can give it to her little ones. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is especially
recommended by its makers for coughs,
colds, Group and whooping cough.
When taken in time it prevents pneu'
monia. This remedy is for sale by Glib

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Mr.. Porter Thought He Should Go Mad
But Or. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Him.

cit seems like n miracle that DR..
Williams Pink Pills should have cured
my neuralgia, " said Mr.. Porter. "They
are certainly a marvellous medicine and
l am always glad to recommend them.
For two years. he continued, Il had
suffered almost uncomfortable pains in my
head. They would start over my eyes
and shoot upward most frequently, but
they often spread over my face, IL at
times every part of my head and face
would be full of agony. Sometimes the
paius were SO intense that | actually
feared they would drive me mad.
My eyes ached constantly and there
was aiwaysa burning sensation over my
forehead, but the other pains varied,
sometimes they were acute, and again
they were dull and lingering. [ could
not sleep. Ny temper was irritable and
l got no pleasure out of life.
Il tried remedy after remedy, but
finding no help in any of them, l be-
came u despairing man. Even when |
began to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills l
had no great hope of a cure.
"That was in December of 1908. To
my surprise, n change III my condition
took place right away. The pains grew
less intense and the acute attacks were
further apart, as / kept on using DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. The improvement be-
gan with the first box, and when | had
used six boxes I stopped. My cure was
complete aud has lasted ever since"
Mr.. Charles n. Porter lives at Ray
mond, n. II. He is one of many grateful
people who nave found that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills will cure diseases of the nerves
that have %stubbornly resisted every other
remedy tried. Not only neuralgia, but
sciatica, partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia yield to them. They are sold by
all druggists, or may be obtained directly
