pictured ferocious little imp dancing
in the pit of your stomach, causing
that organ to neglect all of its duties,
with result that tits not only painful,
but fills you with misery from day to
day This writer certainly had suf-
fered with indigestion, for there is no
more disagreeable, nerve-racking and
sick all-over disease than indigestion.

treated for years for diseases of the
heart, liver or kidneys, when they used
Mona stomach tablets found that not

KILLED TWO BIG BEARS.
Two Four Hundred Founders Slain
in ChickasaMhatChe swamp.

IVA CIllCkaSdWHatNAACC swamp
Messrs. Bart Moreland, Frank Lun-
day and S. A. Brim of Sasser went
bear hunting on Pine Island, on
Chickasawhatchee creek, few days
days ago, and killed two of the "var-
mints," which weighed 400 pounds
each.
1t is a we'll known and established
fact that many black bears have their
dens in the deep, dark vegetation and
tangled recesses of the big swamp
with the bigger name, but so secure is
their retreat, and so difficult is the
swamp to penetrate in many places,
that bear-killing is not frequent oc-
currence.
Bears in the neighborhoOd of the
Chickasawhatchee leave frequent
traces of their prowling about in
search of food, and corndelds are
often visited by them in quest of a
meal of roasting ears.

You could sell that cloth for hundreds

A yard goes further; one buys less

It always looks right till well worn out.
NO one customer buys so much OF II. but
think of the number Of customers!
May be you can't get It in cloth: but

It were wider; a gallon goes further; you
buy less gallons; you pay for less gallons
you pay for painting less gallons-as II
one paid less for making a garment of
that wide cloth-and it keeps its fresh
looks and sheds water till you have for
gotten how old It is
1t isn't true In cloth, but II is in paint:
the less you pay, the better It is; for the
