not be surprised TO see a delegation

STOMACH MISERY
JUST VANISHES
No Indigestion, Heartburn,
Gas or Dyspepsia Five
Minutes Later

AS there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack Of In
digestion or some form of Stomach
trouble, why don't you keep some
Diapepsin in the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort. and overcome
sour, gassy Stomach five minutes
after.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
the formula, plainly printed on these
50-cent cases Of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will readily see why it makes
Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heart
burn and other distress go in five
minutes, and relieves at once such
miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructa-
tions of sour, undigested food. Nausea,
Headaches, Dizziness, Constipation
and other Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long TO
find relief from Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia or an out-of-order stomach
with the common, everyday cures ad-
vertised that they have about made
up their minds that they have some
thing else wrong, or believe theirs Is
a case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Ca
tarrh Of the Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt, is a serious mis-
take. Your real trouble is, what you
eat does not digest; instead, it fer
ments and sours, turns to acid. Gas
and Stomach poison, which putrefy in
the digestive tract and intestines, and,
besides, poison the breath with
nauseous odors.
A hearty appetite, with thorough di-
gestion. and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery Of the Stomach, is
waiting for you as soon as you de-
eide to try Pape's Diapepsin.

Net amt. paid Treas. on 1910 Ac $2029 rs
Discussed AS FOLLOWS:

Notice is hereby given to the tax pay
ers of Worcester County that it is abso-
lutely necessary for the Collectors to be
settled with for the taxes due for the
year 1910. These taxes are now due
and in arrears and the law provides that
the Collectors shall proceed the LIST
day of July to collect all amounts re-
manning unpaid at the time on their
books. by advertisement for sale of the
property against which the tax is levied.
Every person or corporation in the coun-
ty to whom any part of this levy was
made wants and needs their money and
should be paid. 1t is impossible for the
County Commissioners to meet these
demands unless prompt payments are
made by the Collectors. For several
weeks we have scarcely received enough
money to pay for labor on the roads and
nothing toward the unpaid levy, most of
which is due the Roads or School Com
missions or on draft accepted for them.
The tax Collectors will be required to
use every effort to comply with the
above request.

MANY Attractions

The State Fair in Richmond this
year will disclose on of the most
complete collections OF stock ever
presented to the public in the
South. Last year the exhibits in
this department were large, much
larger than ever before. This year

This will mean much for the stock
grower of Virginia. For during the
week OF October 9th. fair week, there
will be officers and directors of the
Stock Yards Company of Chicago, as
visitors to the fair, and they will
during that week entertain all the
live stock exhibitors at the fair in
their own entertainment tent.
The exhibits of the Farmers Co.
operative Demonstration Bureau
will also Impress those distinguish
ed visitors. They will ind that
Virginia can supply everything ne
cessary to the conduct CT large
cattle ranch, including weather that
can be found nowhere else.
Aside from the stock a. other
agricultural ends to the fair, there
will be plenty else to see and enjoy.
Pains fireworks, the Congress OF
AirshipS, amuSenents galore, fine
racing. good weather (promised by
the weather bureau). and a large
list of free shows that cost more
than $50, 900 will combine in making
the stay of the visitor a gala stay.

Bursting Dam Destroys Town

Austin, Pa, a town of 3. 200 resi-
dents. in the northern part of the
State, was swept out OF existence
Saturday afternoon and more than
500 of its people were killed by a
flood which followed the breaking
OF the Bayless Pulp and Paper Co. s
dam, mile and half north of the
town. Almost i've hundred million
gallons OF water rushed over the
place in wall ten feet high, wreck.
ing every structure in its path.
The bursting of scores OF natural
Gas pipes as the buildings we're
swept away added FIRE to the gen.
eral horror OF the flood and hundreds
OF those imprisoned in the wreckape
were burned to death.
The catastrophe paralleled in
many respects the destruction by
the food of Johnstown, Pa, in 1889,
in which oyer two thousand lives
we're lost.
The extent Of the loss OF life and
the destruction Of property can not
be known for several days. The
property loss will surely be several
million of dollars.

Monday President Of the University
OF Alabama by the board OF trustees
OF that institution. 1T is believed

it is believed in Richmond and
throughout the Scuth that he should
not accept, that he cannot accept
without doing serious injury to the
great University which mas pos
pered amazingly under his admins
tration. that he should stay where
he is. Why should he accept? The
place in Alabama is not a more hon
CRADLE place, or a higher place, or a
more useful place than the place he
now fills. II he will only examine
himself he will find that all the signs
Of REORGANIZATION point to the fact
that he was made for the Office which
he now fills and fills with great dis
