elected as one of Walker countys rep
resentatives, led the fight for Mr.. O'Rear,

Dawson Will Not Accept.

The Rev L. o. Dawson gave great
pleasure to the hearts of his audience
when he announced from the pulpit sun
day that he would not respond to the
call from Meridian. Miss. to accept
charge of the First Baptist church of that
city. Mr.. Dawson has had this under
consideration for some time, and the
great number of his friends here were
rather fearful that he might decide to ac-
cept this place. However, although this
is one of number of similar declina-
lions on his part, he declined the call,
and will remain as pastor of the Baptist
church here. There are few more popu-
lar pastors in the entire state than the
Rev H. o. Dawson, and the progress
that the Baptist church of this city has
enjoyed under his pastorate is nothing
less than remarkable, and is very large
ly due to the ability and power of DR..

appointed at the recent conference
preached at the First Methodist church
here yesterday, both morning and even
ing Mr.. GLASGOW made quite favorable

year, together with his family, left here
today for Decatur, where DR.. Robertson

SIMPLE CATARRH REMEDY.
Take a Hyomei Treatment Four
Times Day and Be Cured.

Hyomei has performed almost mirac-
uloUs cures and is today recognized by
leading members Of the medical profess
sion as the only advertised remedy for
this disease that can be relied upon to
do just what it claims.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure catarrh
would be to have change of climate
but now with Hyomei you can carry a
health-giving climate in your vest
pocket and by breathing it a few min
utes four times day, cure yourself.
The Hoymei treatment is simple and
easy to use. 1t destroys all catarrh
germs in the air passages and enriches
and purifies the blood with ozone. When
using Hyomei the air you breathe will
seem like that on the mountains, high
above the sea level.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.00, extra bottles, so cents. If it does
not give you satisfaction, L. P. Van
Werden will refund your money. You
run no risk whatever in taking this re-
liable treatment.
