GRIP IS DANGEROUS.
Often Followed by Pneumonia or
Pleurisy.


Grip. pleurisy, pneumonia--these
are greatly t. be feared at this
time of year
To prevent grip from being fol-
lowed by either pleurisy or pneu-
monia, it is important to drive tho
last traces of 1t out of the system
quickly.
The same is true of pleurisy--it
leaves the lungs dangerously tender.
Our advice Is to take Vinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron prepare
ton without OIL and get your
strength and vitality back as soon az
you can.
Vinol does this for you. Mr., w.
r. Williams of West Pittston, Pa,
says; Il had a very bad attack of
pleurisy which left me weak and
rundown. [ took Vinol and 1t has
built me up remarkably. On account
of the great benefit have received
from it I have recommended vinol
to several other persons.
Our positive guaranty goes with

INDIGESTION
A Disorder that Breeds Dis
ease IN the Body, and an
Easy Way to Cure It.

Take care OF the stomach and you viii
have little need for the doctor.
When the stomach begins to show
signs OF disorder; when the food digests
slowly and with discomfort; when YOU
have heartburn; feel bloated and uneasy,
you are in a condition that needs atten-
ton.
Prickly Ash Bitters corrects the dis
ordered stomach by strengthening and
toning up the digestive organs, driving
the badly digested food into the bowels
and thence out Of the system.
Constipation is nearly always pres
ent when the stomach becomes sour or
disordered. Prickly Ash BDitters con
tains the medicinal qualities which act
as restorative and regulator for the
stomach and bowels. 1t strengthens the
digestive organs, cures constipation and
prevents the return of bilious conditions.
Thousands of people who have re-
eeived lasting benefit from this great
remedy willingly testify to its power in
curing indigestion, constipation and kid
ney trouble.
y suffered from constipation for years, and
tried many remediessbut Priekly Ash Bitters is
the only medicine that has ever done me any

A rather amusing incident oc
CURED at the Citizens National Banl
Friday morning while Col Jake
Wolters, candidate for the United
States senate. was being introduced
to citizens or Waxabachie. Among
those who met the senatorial candi-
date was Rev. A. G. Parker, pastor
of the. Main Street Christian church,
who in some respects resembles Mr.
Wolters In that he has a bald pate
and is smooth OF face. Just about
the time Mr.. Woltcrs was ready to
leave the bank Roy Connally, secre,
tary of the Commercial Club, walk
ed in and an introduction followed.
Mr. Connally failed to notice Mr..
VOTERS when he walked out of the
bank and when be was. ready to go
he turned to Rev. Parker, shook
hands with him and wished him sue
cess in the senatorial contest
When the preacher explained that
he was not candidate for any Of
flee, but was a minister of the COS
pei, Mr. Connally joined heartily in
the laugh which was caused by his
innocent mistake.

Local Grappler Wins

There was a large masculine
gathering at the Opera Hall Tues
day evening to witness the athletic
program, consisting of wrestling
matches, a boxing bout and an ex-
hibition of strength by Minneap-
oils strong man" Every number
was clever and exciting and during
the matches great enthusiasm was
displayed.
The opening number was wrest-
ling bout between Freddie Krauth
and Elliott Fessenbecker. Fesse"
won the first fall in 7 n minutes and
Krauth won the next two falls in
minutes and 81 minutes respect
lively. Charlie Hanson, of Mime
apolis, then performed some start
ling feats of strength, tearing into
halves and quarters a deck of cards,
also three decks at a time, driving
large, blunt spike through
three-inch plank with blow from
his bare hand, lifting a barrel of
salt with one finger and whirling
around with two men holding TO
strap which he held in his teeth.
Next was staged the principal bout
of the evening-the wrestling match
between Sam Nelson of this city
and B Frisk of Minneapolis. Frisk
won the first fall in 20H minutes.
Nelson got the famous Gotch toe
hold" on Frisk in the second ap-
pearance and Bud called quits after
three minutes of struggling. Mel
son won the third fall, and the
match, with half-Nelson. Frisk
announced after the match that he
was willing to try conclusions with
Nelson in a match here at some
later d a e. t h e entertainment
closed with four-round Sparring
exhibition by Frank Race and Carl
Parsons-and everyone left with
side-ache from laughing.

Editor of the Journal

Editor of the Journal
In your articles
of Thirty Six Years Ago" now ap-
pearing in the Journal l noticed a
short article in the Feb. Is issue,
of t h e settlement of Trimbelle,
Three of those settlers: Garner,
Aaron Cornelison and Mr. Bradley
were we'll known to the writer. We
believe the statement that Mr.. earn
er was the first settler in the town
ship is an error. My recollection
of those early days was that Mr..
Thomas Shotten was the earliest in
that part of the ship-north-
west. The writer's father p r
chased the land from Mr.. Shotten
early in the spring of So. Nearly
or about 20 acres of this land was
and had been in cultivation up
wards of four years. Mr.. Bradley
supposed to be an assumed name,
Irwin is the right one) was reported
to be a deserter from the u. S.
Army. / do not vouch for this, |
only write as | remember it. Mr..
Bradley's farm or a portion of it
was in the SWH of the NWA
6-26-18, and probably had been
in cultivation as long as Mr.. Shot

at that date that all of the colored
people that made their homes on
"nigger hill" were ex-slaves. | re-
member K err S, Washington,
Garner and Bennett. Of Mr.. Ben
nett am not sure, it is no reflec-
tion upon him if he was. He served
his country well as soldier in the
Civil War. At the time of our pur-
chase of the Shotten farm, adjoin
ing us on the north in the town of
River Falls, a man we'll known as
Capt. Woods had or made small
beginning of a farm. But how
long he had resided there previous
to our coming I do not know.
There were plenty of Indians about
in those days, but not the Sioux.
They were Chippewas and Winnie
bagos. l have no recollection of
having heard of any battles. The
Sioux were a blood-thirsty, warlike
tribe and their appearance in Wis
consin must have been in defiance
of Uncle Sam and his blue.coats at
TT. Smelling. The Chippewas and
Winnebagos were regarded as civil
lied and l do not believe the GOV
ermenent would have allowed the
Sioux to attack them. The Wiscon-
sin side of the Mississippi was for
hidden ground to the Sioux.
