Ceredo advance. [volume] (Ceredo, W. Va.) 1885-1939, 1909-03-03

On "Wednesday night of last
week a battle took place on Docks
creek, about two mites south of this
place, which almost resulted in the
death of Ralph S,aley and Cecil
Dishman. OF course there are two
sides to every question, but from
what we can learn of the affair
IT would seem that Ralph Staley
and young lady friend, Miss
Minnie Swanson, together with
Others, were returning home from a
party given at the residence OF
Samuel Dishman A short dis.
lance had been traversed from the
scene of festivities, ccorLing to
our information, when the party
was overtaken by Cecil Dishman,
Geo. Smith and others. II is said
Dishman held an old grudge and
began hurting epithets upon Stall
ey and after knocking him down,
general fight ensued. All deserted
Staley but Miss Swanson. who
tried TO separate the combatants.
Staley Was knocked senseless
with some blunt instrument, bu,
not until after Dishman had been
cut several times on the head
The two men were carried home
and are now confined TO their
rooms. One of Staley's ears was
almost cut In twain and three
inch cash adorns his head.
Constable II. III. Rutherford has
warrants in his hands for the arrest
OF the combatants, bit upon going
to their homes found Staley and
Dishman in such physical condi.
ton that they could not be moved
at present. He also discov cred
that Smith he'd left the state.

the year to catch cold. and it Is the hard.
est tIiun To cure it. If you should take
a cold. "a few doses of Kennedys Laxa

by driving it from the system by gen.

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodo1 will digest it.

You need sufficient amount Of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need TO fully digest 1t.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach If
1t is weak.
You must eat I'm order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat suilic-
lent amount OF food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do Is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach Is weak il needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

Candidate For Representative.

Judge F. S. Moore. of this city,
telephoned the Courier from Fulton
yesterday that be had decided to
make the race for Representative
from this district-composed of Full
ton and Hickman counties.
1t is not probable there is a man in
either county who is better suited TO
the duties of this Office, and the
Judges home county will doubtless
attach the seal of approval by Civ
ing him her hearty endorsement.
He is one of staunch supporters of
Jeff.rsonian principles, and one OF
the few men who never cease to
"whoop'er up" when it comes to a
showdown for the interests Of Demo
crazy. If the party can owe an in
dividual for services rendered, il is
under obligations to Moore.
Judge Moore is man OF good,
sound, practical judgment, in adj
dition to his thorough knowledge of
Law, and these are elements that
should enter the makeup of the
man who represents any people.
As stated elsewhere in this is
sue, convention will be held at
at Clinton, March "a. for the pur-
pose of making the nomination for
this Office. Delegates from the var
ious precincts are to be chosen on
March goth.
1t is probable that other aspir ants
may bob up between now and the
convention, but not likely in Fulton
county.
1t is Fulton county's time to fur
nish Representative.
