The Grip.

Before we can sympathize with 9th

No one can realize the suffering at
tendant upon an attack of the grip I'M

There is probably no disease that
causes SO much physical and mental
agony, or which SO successfully deties
medical aid. All danger from the
grip, however, may be avoided by the
prompt use of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy not one case
has ever been reported that has result
ed in pneumonia, or that has not re-

from Austin, which is republished
because Of rs bearing on the situ-
alton IN Brazos county:
Austin April 2s-An Important,
opinion was handed down by the attor
ney general as to future status OF
county and district clerks The law
provides that in each county where
there are 1000 voters or more the

ness has played havoc with many pres
ent officials Returns show that IN
many p0pul0us counties voters failed
