HOW AN INDIANA GIRL
Got Strong and Well Again at
Small Cost.

Miss Alta Abel, of West Baden, Ind,
says: II was a complete wreck, al
ways tired, wornout and nervous I
had to spend about one-third of my
time in bed and my life was not worth
living. Vinol, your delicious cod liver
and iron tonic, was recommended, and
it has done me good than all the
medicine I ever took in my life. That
nervous and tired feeling is all gone.
I have gained in health, flesh and
strength, until I feel like another per-
son"
V.nol is the most efficient strength
creator for such women. 1t is the
medicinal elements of the Gods livers
contained in Vinol, aided by the blood
making and strengthening properties
of tonic iron, which makes it so far
superior to all other tonics to build
up Lealth and strength for weak,
tired, ailing women 1t contains no
oil and has a delicious taste.

Rowan Court House.

The county OF Rowan Is
getting the effects of Demo-
cratic good government in
the construction of its magni>
fcent (to be) court house
We have all along thought it
was out of order for the
Commissioners to erect such
a building over the protests
of the people in the county.
Then, too, it looked to us
like a ''tickle me" job when
the Commissioners gave the
lob to a certain Contracting
Company, and this certain
Contracting Company per-
formed a tickling job when it
contracted with two of the
Commissioners for the stone.
Then again the quality of
the stone used, coupled with
the quality Of work shows
more tickling. We believe
that the guilty parties should
suffer, and think the grand
Jury acted wisely when it
presented indictments against
those responsible for the job.
Since the court house is to
be built, and a fancy price is
to be paid, let the comfy
have value received. This is
not the first time the Com
missioners of Rowan have
broken faith with the people
in spending public funds.
The Editor has a faint recol>
, lection that in some by gone
, days, the Commissioners sold
, some bonds on appropriated
money, the people knew not
} what for, and these same
} Commissioners demanded the
Treasurer to credit for the
money, when it did not come
to his hands. We remember
that an action at law was in
stituted by the Treasurer,
and here our recollections
fail US. Was the case ''white>
washed?'
We wish to say that we
are in hearty sympathy with
the people of the county, we
help pay the tax, and we de-
mand that the peoples utter
est be served. Rowan County
:, has a state reputation as one
, of the worst governed coun-
ties in the State. Some time
, we hope the people will open
their eyes There are those
!, who say this is a political
game. We believe no such
stuff, but it is purely a case
of the people becoming tired
of tyranny such as has been
exercised for many years.
