At the opening of the superior court here on Thursday morning Judge Reed charged the jury in the case of Sam uel G. Norman vs. Enos M. Gray in the suit for the payment of a note for $500 and interest, which was heard on Wednesday. The jury considered the matter until noon, when they returned with a verdict for the. plaintiff to re- cover the sum of s1,091.56. Inasmuch as the damages claimed by the plain tiff was only $1,000, Judge Reed in formed the jury that he could not be awarded over that sum, and they re- turned to the jury room and brought in a verdict for s1,000 in accordance with instructions. The excess over s1,000 was reached by the interest which was added to the principal.
 The jury was selected for the trial of the case of Anna Robish vs. John F. Coughlin, in which the plaintiff seeks $8,0O0 damages. She was the first witness and stated that she first met the defendant when in 1903 she went to Attorney Desmond's office to carry some papers. As Mir. Desmond was not there she left the papers with Mir. Coughlin, who was studying law there at the time She afterwards met him in the city and he walked to Greeneville with her. She claimed that in October. 1906, she met the defendant in the city in the evening and he ask ed her to go up to his office in the May building, but she refused. He finally told her he wouldscarry her and by prevailing upon her she went. After reaching the office he locked the door and against her will assaulted her. As the result she gave birth to a child Aug. 5, 1907, which lived but a short time. In July she called MT. Coughlin to her home and told him of her con- dition, but had not done so before He said but little and his stay was a short one. She told of calling upon several lawyers and finally with rel ative went to MT Coughlin's office to see about the settlement of relatives estate.
 She was followed by Dr. Louis I.

CAN'T CONTRADICT THIS
We Have Proved That Mi-O-na Will
 Cure Dyspepsia.

Many stubborn people go on suffer- ing from indigestion because they won't believe it can be cured. But it can be cured and here is just one case out of many thousands.
 T have taken 2 boxes of Mi-o-na and have been cured of stomach trouble which no one on earth had it any worse than me. I have increased in weight. My weight is 120 lbs. the most I have weighed in 14 years. l think that every one who is troubled with their stomach should try this wonderful medicine" Mrs. Emma Schultz, TAT s. Broadway, Akron, O. There are any number of thin and scrawney people in this world who are in that condition simply because the stomach is out of order and does not extract nutritious matter from the food.
 If these people would take Mi-o-na tablets with or after meals for a month they would take on good solid flesh just the same as Mrs. Schultz did.
 Mi-o-na tablets are known the country over sas the surest cure for indigestion, belching of gas, sour stomach, coated tongue, sick headache, heartburn, etc. The Lee & Osgood Go. sells them in Norwich for 50 cents and guarantees them to cure.

THE ELECTION TUESDAY.
Vote on S300,00O Bond Issue for
Roads-Managers Requested
to Send Returns.

The election ON the bond issue will
be held next Tuesday. This election
will be conducted in the same manner
as general elections. and only those
having a registration ticket will be
permitted to vote. and evidence of all
taxes due. having been paid, will
have to be furnished the managers.
The managers will enforce this rule.
and to save time look up your regis
tralion ticket and your last tax re-
eeipt and take them with YOU to the
polls.
The Herald and News will not send
out blanks for returns. but would be
GLAD to have the managers send The
Herald and News. by phone the re-
suit at their precinct as soon as the
votes are counted. If there is no
'phone convenient, get the returns to
us by wire or by hand just as soon as
you can. and it will be very much
appreciated.
There does not seem to be much
interest one wa: or the other, and it
is probable there will be light vote
polled.
The election will probably result in
defeat of the bond issue by a large
majority. as the people do not seem
ready to take this forward step IN
the march of progress. and then there
seems to be in many cases a mlscon-
ception of the terms Of the Act un-
der which the election is held.
But what The Herald and News
wants now is the result Of the vote as
soon as it is known and it is hoped
the managers will remember to send
it in promptly.
