1t is worse than useless to at

Constipation is caused by a weak

The preliminary contest Friday
night was well attended, and the
young people furnished splendid
entertainment. We are certainly
proud of the way in winch they gave
their parts. The honors were car
ried off by Brown Caster and Ruth
Farquhar, Brown winning first place
in the oratorical class and Ruth
second in dramatics. Both did most
splendidly and we feel sure that they
will do their best to win for us at
the LamoniN contest.
We feeEsafe in promising that the
special train to Lamont on March
25th will be secured. Leon has
pledged fifty dollars and Van Vert,
Decatur and the other towns can
surely make up the other fifty. So
be prepared to go to Lamont and
help our contestants win, for we are
going to win.
