NJ. Cratteau, the proprietor Of the inn,

NJ. Cassagne was confding a wonder

interests of little girl of whose person

done the washing OF every American who
has been in Blois for the past twenty
years. She gets all the business because
she knows what they want. She may be
able to tell you something about him"
1t was barely nine o'clock when NJ.
Cassagne, having finished his coffee and

of the Golden Fleece, and proceeded in
the direction of the Rue du Concert. 1t

inns nor barber shops, which, perhaps,
accounted 70 his not having previously

II the Swisher state committee
imagines it has played a trump

can nominees from going ON the
Scherr ticket it will find the bluff
will be called and it will react on
the Swisher ticket The state

too long to- scare any one this
year The letter which it sent to

reads like it had its origin in too

Nature and a woman's work com.
blned have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned DAYS of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field TO
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years an
the study Of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia K. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
OF the world a remedy for their De-
cullar Ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC St.
louisiana, No, writes:
Complete restoration 20 health
means 80 much % me that for the sake
OF other suffering women I am willing
20 make my troubles public.

Ing with the worst forms OF female ilIs.

table Compound did for Mrs. Mnff.

Julius c. Simpson.

The Democrats have nominated
such an excellent county ticket
that THE ARGUS feels confident it
will receive the Endorsement of
the voters of Preston county on
the 3D. day of November. 1t is
the purpose ofTHE ARGUS to give
n brief sketch of the nominees that
those who may not be personally
acquainted with them may know
who they are and their qualifica-
tons.
Mr.Julius c. Simpson, the Dem
ocratic candidate for clerk of the
circuit court, was born in Preston
county in the year 1853. He re-
ceived a common school educa-
ton, and after completing the
course in the county schools he
entered Yale business College,
from which he graduated with
high honors. In Yale he was
given a thorough business train
ing. He is one of the best book
keepers and accountants in the
county of Preston, which fits him
admirably for the office for which
he has been nominated.
After Mr.. Simpson returned
from school he accepted position
as salesman with one of the lar
gest machine and engine com
panies in the United States, for
whom he travelled eight years
with eminent success.
In 1887 Mr.. Simpson engaged
in the mercantile business at Mar
guess, where he has established a
large and growing trade. He is
also postmaster at Marques. He
is deservedly popular with all
classes of people, and to know
julius G. Simpson is to like him.
He has been an honored member
of the NJ. f. church for thirty.fye
years He is gentleman who
has always contributed literally
of his means to all benevolent and
charitable causes and the church.
He is one of those affable and kind
hearted men who attract and draw
you to them. The people will make
no mistake by electing julius c.
Simpson clerk of the circuit court.
The ARGUS asks that the voters
consider Mr.. Simpsons claims
from the point Of efficiency, capa-
bility, and sterling honesty.

The ARGUS must insist on the
Journal publishing its tax receipts
for the years 1906 and 1907 as II
guarantee that it believes that the
Dawson tax laws reduce taxation.
If it don't the people will con-
clude, and rightly too, that the
Journal is in possession of the
evidence that the Dawson tax laws
increase taxation. In fact, we have
1T on the authority of those who
were deceived by the Journal that
the ring organ admits the increase
in its tax receipt.

The paramount issue in this
campaign is whether the taxpay-
ers Of West Virginia are going to
let the Republican machine sad
die S33,0O0,0OO of the so.called
West Virginia bonds on them. 1t
will be too late to yell after the
debt has been fastened on us. The
way to settle the Virginia debt
question is by defeating the Re
publican machine ticket. There
is no trouble to do this if the peo-

Swisher and the hackers of the
machine asked the Republican
nominees for congress to not allow
their names to go on the Scherr

woodward said: 600 hence. We

voters are back of the Scherr tick
ct, while there is nothing but graft
and the machine back of the

Since the'Leader took its last

ties The four ring organs give
but one side, and that is the

most prominent members of the

the only way John Sherman can
