A Great Advantage to Workingmen

J, A. Maple, 125 S. 7th St., Steu-
benVille, O., says: For several
years l suffered from weak kidneys
and a severe bladder trouble. 1
learned of Foley Kidney Pills, and
their wonderful cures, so I began
taking them, and sure enough I had
as good results as any I had heard
about. My backache left me and to
one of my business, expressman, that
alone is great advantage. My kid
neys acted free and normal, and that
saved me lot Of misery. It is now
a pleasure to work where it used to
be a misery. Foley Kidney Pills
cured me and have my highest
praise. Dawson Drug Co. and Peo-

WAS IT READY WHEN YOU CALLED ?

We realize the annoyance to a Gus
toner to have to call for repair work
half dozen times before it is ready,
to go out, and we have at last sue
ceeded in making this a rare excep-
ton at Adams Jewelry Store. This
we feel will be a genuine relief to
those who have favored us with their
repair work. If you will continue to
favor US as in the past we will
promise that this relief will be per-
manent.
Our repair work is one of our
most important departments. and
the same high standard will be main
tanned and improved on whenever
and wherever possible,

department, and we are sure will be
appreciated by those who give this
department their patronage. It is a
rare thing that we make a fit that is
not pleasing revelation to those
who visit this department and is
gratifying to us. You are under no
obligation to purchase the glasses
when you VISIT this department and
nave your eyes tested, but not once

! The committal trial at Leesburg
Monday of Maud S. Childers, charg-
ed with poisoning his wife at Smith
VllIe, resulted in the prisoner being
pound over to the superior court
without bail. Judge Dan Crosland
u AInany presided at the trial. it
Oelng impossible to agree on any Lee
county justice whose consent might
De secured to hold the trial. Attor-
ney II. A. Wilkinson of Dawson was
one OF the counsel for the state.
Inc trial dragged through almost
SIX hours, and was for the most mart
monotonous and with but an occa-
slonal flash of interest. Much of the
testimony was a rehash of that adj
ouced IN the trial of Robert Kenne-
oy, who had been bound over several
Gays before for the same crime.
one Of the features was the admis-
sion by Childers that he had had
strychnine in the house where his
Wlte met her death, although it is
claimed that the poison was thrown
away some time before the tragedy
occurred.
Sixty witnesses were summoned
for the examination, but only 90 or
70 testified. In holding Childers
without bail Judge Crosland is quot
ed as saying in substance that while
ne would bind him over to the higher
court ne would not were he a inror
IN the trial case find him guilty of
the charge upon such evidence as
was adduced at the preliminary
hearing
Not a particle of direct Testimony
however, has ever yet been adduced
which would show that either Chill
ders or Kennedy put poison in the
sal hepatica bottle or were RESPONSE
bic in any way for the death of Mrs
Childers.
In SmithvilIe a committee of
which Fort McAfee is secretary has

pose.
