NEW ROAD
TALKED or

There is move on foot to have new
country road built near Belington. This
proposed road is to begin at a point near
he Steel Plant and follow the railroad
around up the river past 0. f. Days farm
and intersect with the country road at
Dartmoore The cost Of building this road
would be but very little, and the main
tenance Woald be very small compared
with the benefit it would give all the peo-
pie in the upper part of Barker District,
This road can be built on an excellent
grade, and would be a very important
way to and from lexington. The owners
Of the land it is understood will be will
ing TO donate the right-of-way, SO it only
remains for the ones interested, and the
county court to make this new road real
ity.
There are about 80 new houses going
up at Dartmoore, and az this plant will
be in operation for several years yet this
new road would add much to the comfort
and pleasure of the inhabitants of that
town, and at the same time would be
beneficial to all In this end Of the county.
Let the good work go on, and let the
good road be built. The cost would be
very small as the bitches would be the
biggest job One small bridge or culprit
is all of any note that need be put in to
make this road on fine grade.

William Simon Passes
Away at His Home on
Tenth Avenue Friday.

William Simon passed away at his
home on Tenth avenue at 4 O'Clock
Friday afternoon. His death was due
to old age.
Mr.. Simon was born in Eringhausen
Germany, February 8, 1882 being so
years, months and "a days old. In
1851 he came to Pittsburg, Pennsyl-
vania, where he was united in mar
riage to Miss Philippine II. Alexander

seven children, one having died in

William Simon was an honest, in

of the German M. E. church. His
service for his Master was always
rendered with joy and his voice never
failed to tell of his love for Christ

his course and was undoubtedly well
coined by his Divine Master as true
and faithful servant who is found
worthy to enter the joys of his Lord.

among us until Heaven came some

A WORD TO
PARENTS
Look After Your Child's Health
During the Years Of Most
RAPID Growth.

School children who are nervous, who
cannot sit quietly on chair, who are
always dropping things, and perhaps
have tWitching of the muscles the
face, need DIR. Williams Pink Pills at
once.
Growing girls who become pale and
thin, who have tickle appetites; who
are out of breath after climbing the
stairs, and who have palpitation OF the
heart after the least exertion, need
them also.
Parents of such children should not
DELAY the treatment. Nervous children
do not develop properly. A sickly girl
hood means a sick1y womanhood and
lack of blood during the years of most
rapid growthme fat-chested, listless,
ambitionless men and women later on.
Pure, rich, red blood is what is need
ed. Strength for the nerves follows
naturally. The time to correct the
need of these is now, before any more
harm is done.
Miss Carrie E. Hathaway, of North
Houghton street, North Adams, Mass,
was cured of anamia by DR.. Williams,
Pink Pills after her case was pronounced
hopeless by her doctor. The statement
of her cure is told by her mother, Mrs.
A. A. Hathaway. "My daughter,
Carrie, was confined to her bed for two
years suffering from an@mia. She
seemed to have no blood and was as
pale as a ghost. She was thin and did
not weigh more than 100 pounds, had
no strength or ambition and could no.
sit up. Her appetite was poor and she
had difficulty in breathing. No one
expected her to get well md our minis
ter, before going on his vacation, came
to bid her goodbye as he did not think
she would live until his return. We
spent hundreds of dollars but the doc
tor seemed to be puzzled and could not
help her. She had been sick for over
two years before | decided to give DIR.
Williams Pink Pills trial. The pills
gave her quick relief and cured her after
a fair trial. She has had no serious
sickness since nd weighs no pounds.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are wonder
full remedy and | cannot say enough IN
praise of them.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent postpaid, on re-
ceipt Of price, so cents per box. SIX
