CHILD HAD SIXTY BOlLS,
And Suffered Annually with a Red
 Scald-Lke Humor on Her Head.
Troubles Cured by cuticura.

''When my little Vivian was about six months old her head broke out in boils. She had about sixty in all and used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment which cured her entirely. Some time later humor broke out be- hind her ears and spread up on to her head until it was nearly half GOV cred. The humor looked like a scald, very red with a sticky, clear fluid con- ing from it. This occurred every spring. I always used Cuticura Soap and Ointment which never failed to heal it up. The last time it broke out it became so bad that I was dis couraged But I continued the use of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and ResoI- vent until she was well and has never been troubled in the last two years.

have rendered to the Farmers Union
the third day, July 10Th, of their

sonian" Of April Is, 1909, which,
when carefully analysed is neither
true In toto or in part, but is justly
classified by The Jeffersonian as the
work of "Black Hand" The said
mysterious accusers not having had
the manhood to appear before a rec
ognlzed tribunal or any honorable
body, or even the courage to place
their names to the said "Black hand
circular" or up to this writing have
failed to come before the proper coun-
Gil and authority of the A. M. E.
Church, having jurisdiction in the
trial Of bishops charged with abuses.
We must, therefore, conclude that
the anonymous circular is the bastard
ly work of a "Black Hand" whom
Editor Pendleton of the Macon Tele-
graph characterizes as defamers Of a
church official whom they can not
bride nor BRIGHTEN from the faithful
discharge of the ecclesiastical and
official duties of his church.
We would further say that we have
the utmost confidence in the moral
character and official integrity of

SAVE OUR COUNTRY.

Alfalfa, Ala, March ~, 1909
Hon. Thos. b. Watson, Thomson, Ca,
Dear Sir: am a subscriber and
reader of both Jeffersonians, and have
just read your editorial in the maya
zine, "Another Word on Foreign
Missions.''
This is the best editorial I think I
have ever read. 1t is my express wish
that every man, woman and every
child that has reached the age Of ac-
countability, could and would read
this editorial.
We would be better off if we had
few more men like "Tom" Watson.
The straightforward and fearless man
ner in which you handle this subject,
pointing out the lurking danger in
Roman Catholicism, is enough to put
every man to thinking, and thinking
hard. 1t brings us face to face with
an issue which some of us have given
very little thought to in the past, and
it remains with us citizens to settle
this problem.
Can any fair minded man read this
editorial and not be convinced that it
IS time We be up and doing, to save
our country and not Italy or some
other foreign land?
May you continue to carry on the
good work, and open the eyes of the
American people to the existing evils
which threaten our Government and
homes.
Your friend and admirer,
Walton D. Wikle.
