10 WHOM 1T MAY INTEREST:
During the wet and dry" election
campsign in tins county little more
than year ago. ! WAS unsettled as to
what would be best for the county, that
y. whether IL wonld be best for the
business interests Of the county for 1t to
remain wet, or vote it out. I went to
Lake City and made inquiries there,
and from tho formation thus obtained,
and viewing Is rom moral standpoint,
I decided to cast my vote for the en-.
forcement Of prohibition.
At this writing we have little more
than . years experience with prohibi-
tion, and I do not believe that there IL
Q business man in Starke. or In the
county Of Bradford, who will sign q
statement to the effect that business has
been injured by voting out iqEor.
In my personal business I can truly
say that my collections are better. and
! find the people with more ready
money to pay their bills than have
ever known them 10 have In the whole
time have lived in Starke. and ! have
followed my profession in Starke At
least eight years.
also notice more than ever q general
uplift among the people; they appear TO
have turnsd . new leaf In their ives
aud seem 10 have higher thoughts ana
ambitions TO accomplish !. something
In business way. a.
! will never again have any hssitsacv
in how TO cast my vote on Q question Of
this kind; ] believe there il no citv.

To THE LADIES AUXILIARY,
Starke, Fla.
DEAR MADAMs:
In reply to your request that I give
y"u statement of my impression a. to
the general condition of business in and
about Stake and Bradford county since
the county went dry" beg to state
that it gives me much pleasure to say
that have noted general condition Of
prosperity all over the county as well as
in the town of Starke. Business of
every character seems to have taken on
an increasing impetus and things gen.
orally seem to be ON the road to prog
ress. As to my personal business, I
might say that it has increased more
than double since the county went dry.
Very respectfully,
A. Y. ADKINS.

Continued from last week.

Starke, Fla, July IS, 1906.
To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Less drinking, fewer drunkards on
our streets, fewer loafers, fewer brawls
and fights, fewer fines, more business,
better collections, more evidences of
prosperity Of every kind and on every
hand, quieter and more moral town,
are some Of the benefits that in my
opinion have come to Starke as result
of local option in Bradford county.
Respectfully submitted.

HEALTH
in PARIS,

F. A. sHURTLEEF q co. SAY CARE OF
DIGESTION SOLVES PROBLEM Or LONG
LIFE.
No one in Paris has a better chance
than the druggist to know the condition
of the city's health, and what diseases
are the most common.
r. A. Shurtlef & Co. believe that the
problem of long life Is solved by proper
care of the digestive organs. Let the
stomach get out Of condition and soon
there will be nervousness, irritation, fur
red tongue, specks before the eyes,
weakness, debility, indigestion, and
other physical and mental troubles that
directly result from weakened stomach.
OF all the vital organs, the stomach IL
the most frequently abused, and hence,
the one which most frequently fails, and
80 with the discovery of a remedy like
Mona stomach tablets, which Is sold
on an absolute guarantee to strengthen
the digestive system, aid assimilation Of
food, and cure all troubles caused by In
digestion, an important step has been
taken towards solving the question Of
good health and long life.
Take one of tho little Mona tablets
before each meal, with the fixed deter
mination that you are going to get we'll
and it will not be many days before you
can eat anything without fear OF indi
gestion.
F. A. Shurtleff & Co. sell Mi-o-na OF
an absolute guarantee to refund TIT
money If it does not cure. A large box o
the tablets costs but 30 cents, If 1t help'
you; nothing If it fails.

The Congressional Campaign.

Instantly upon the announcement that
Hon. John p. Swasey was a candidate
for the nomination for congress, Hon.
Charles Z. Ltttlefield left his post of
duty at Washington and hurried home
with all possible speed, and has spent
the past ten days in looking after his
fences. That he has been extremely
active in all lines of political work dur
ing that time there can be no doubt. His
activity has gone to the extent of having
his literary bureau send out copies of .
Democratic paper-the Democratic pa
pers are for Littlefield-to Republican
voters in the district.
Meanwhile the friends of Mr.. Swasey
have also been very active. Swasey
headquarters have been established
at the Dewitt House in Lewiston, in
charge of workers from Oxford and
Franklin Counties, and lively campaign
is to be carried on in Androscoggin
Comfy, where there is every reason to
expect that Mr.. Swasey will have strong
support. There are also indications that
he will have some strength in the south
ern tier of counties.
1t is understood that Mr.. Swasey will
have the undivided support of Oxford
County. If there is any indication of
anything else, il has not yet developed.
Mr.. Littlefield has been into the eastern
and central parts of the county during
the past week, but the appearances are
that he found nothing that would lead
him to hope for delegates in this county.
Certainly there is no reason why Mr..
Swasey should not have every delegate
in his own county, and there is every
reason to believe that he will.
