He Was a Good Sheriff.

A prominent business man of JEFF
ferson county made the remark few
days ago that ]. W. Gardner, who has
Just retired from Office, was the best
sheriff that this county has ever had.
Whether this statement is too strong
or not, it is fact that Mr.. Gardner
has made splendid record in the
trying Office that he filled during the
past four years. From a financial
point of view he hsd done exception
ally we'll, in that he has made his COL
lections promptly and Kept his &C.
counts absolutely straight. All of
the taxes for 1905 and 1905 were
long since collected, of 1907 there re-
mains lees than 5000, and for 1908,
with this year yet to finish up, only
about 81, 300 is to be collected. Mr..
Gardner has been wise and just Of
fcer in the pursuance of his other du.
ties. He has maintained the dignity
Of his Office, upheld the law and faith
fully attended to his work, and has
been considerate in all things. His
fellow. officials Of the county unite In
commenting his faithfulness in his
duties. and the people agree as to the
satisfactory administration that he
has given them.

The Track Question.

The Track Question.
Engineer Bruner of the Norfolk &
Western Railway Company and the
committee appointed to confer upon
the request of the railroad company
that it be permitted to retain it's old
track across German street, Shepherds
town, had conference here on Mon
day. Although the matter was dis
cussed at length, no definite conclu-
sion was reached, and further informa-
ton will be presented to the commit.
tee by the company.
As We understand it, the company,
in return for the privilege it asks,
agrees to make an easy grade to the
tracks upon German street, making
concrete pavements on both sides OF
streets and undertaking to satisfy
property holders who may be dam.
aged. The suggestion Was made that
it also make better grade at High
street, but Mr.. Bruner could not
promise that the company would
agree to this. he offered to fill in
the necessary amount Of material, but
thought that the town should pay for
the culverts that would be required.
The committee would not agree to this.
Pending further information and data
upon various matters, the conference
adjourned, subject to call of the chair.
man.
So far as we are informed about the
matter, there should be comparatively
little trouble in reaching an adjust
ment. The company has been liberal
in it's attitude toward the town, and
it's representatives promise that this
policy shall be continued. The town
cannot afford to be stubborn or narrow
in the face of such treatment. There
are many persons who think that the
old track will, or should, be Of more
benefit to the town than to the COM
p,ny. Most towns are asking for ad
dltlonsl switching privileges, instead
of rejecting them, and We may regret
1t If we require the company to tear
up this track. The committee is de-
sirous of acting wisely, and We have
have no doubt will be guided by the
sentiment of the people.

This Is Said To Help Them.

Get from any prescription pharma-
cy the following: :.
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well in bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime.
The above is considered as the most
certain prescription ever written to
relieve Backache, Kidney Trouble,
Weak Bladder and all forms of Uri-
nary difficulties. This mixture acts
promptly on the illiminative tissues
of the Kidneys, enabling them to FL
ter and strain the uric acid and other
waste matter from the blood which
causes Rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the
affections may not feel inclined tc
place much confidence in this simple
mixture, yet those who have tried ii
say the results are simply surprising,
the relief being effected without the
slightest injury to the stomach or 9TH
er organs. ,.
Mix some and give it tIial. II
certainly comes highly recommended.
1t is the prescription of an eminent
authority, whose entire reputation 1t
is said, vas established by it.
A druggist here at home, when
asked, stated that he could either sup
ply the ingredients, or mix the pre-
scription for our readers, also recon-
mends il as harmless.
