Vegetable Compound to restore their

There are probably hundreds of thou

United States who have been benefited
by this famous old remedy, which was
produced from roots and herbs over 80
years ago by woman to relieve wo-
mans suffering. If you are sick and need
such medicine, why don't you try it ?

PURCHASE OF A MOTOR
TRUCK Being CONSIDERED
County Commissioners May
Secure One

A committee from the board of
county commissioners witnessed yes
terday demonstration made by rep
resentatives of a motor truck, the
merits OF which, as a labor saver,
impressed the commissioners quite
favorably, the machine having done
easily good amount.
The work performed was that Of
dressing off a large section of the
MISUNDERSTANDING road, giving it
smooth and even surface, much need
ed since the road, now washed by the
rains last week. Similar work was
also done by the truck on the Lee
street road. The truck drew two floats
which only required one man to oper-
ate both, and the work was of nature
entirely satisfactory. The truck will
easily pullas many more floats, though
II is expedient to operate only three
at time. The truck can be used for
l'all kinds of hauling, and for various
purposes. The commissioners, at
their April meeting next Monday will
discuss the advisability Of purchasing
motor truck of this kind. AS labor
saver they think favorably Of the prop
osition.

CONVINCING SERMONS
HEARD AT REVIVAL
Sin the Theme Of DR.. GaViR'S
PreaChment

Continuing the earnest and forcefll
work which he has been doing SOME
time in the revival services at the
Furlow Lawn Baptist church, Dr. Cav
in preached two sermons of unusual
merit and appeal yesterday.
In the afternoon he discussed The
Deluge,' using for his text Genesis
I:11. After discussing the fact of the
flood, for the speaker said truly that
We are prone to forget that it actually
occurred, he drew from this bit of an
cient history sons strikingly, forceful
and timely lessons. The first lesson
was suggested by the cause of the del
uge, which was sin Said the speaker
81 do not think that we believe that
the worst thing in the world can be
spelled with three letters and express
ed in monosyllable: SIN And
sin, he defined, was not an act, but as a
principle, or attitude of the heart, on
which sin acts, grow as fruit on trees.
And this principle, he said, reduced 20
its last analysis, is INSTRUMENTATION TO
the will of God He then showed hon
the deluge shows how God hates sin !;
just as the death of His only Son for
the sins of the whole world shows how
much God hates sin, as we'll as how
much He loves the sinner.
The second lesson was The Ark is !
Type of Jesus Christ" Both were OF
divine appointment. Those in the ARK
were saved, and no others And those
in Jesus Christ by repentance and
faith and regeneration are saved. Gath
ering these lessons together, the
speaker applied the text in forcefCl
way to present-day conditions. Here,
he said, lis command to the head OF
the family" he said. I'VE talk about
the boy problem and the girl problem!
We pirate much about the condition OF

lieve for himself as really as he must

strongest appeals the speaker has
yet made.
Last night the sermon was so strong
an appeal to the unsaved as the
speaker could make His subject was
THE Three Woes" He said he was
not speaking to please, but in the
hope of profiting.
His text was Rev 9:12 and he made
the three woes of that scripture repre-
sent Death, Judgment and He'll. Then
he showed how neither of these can
be real woe to one who is in Jesus
Christ but all three must necessarily
be the most horrible woes to all who
ignore God in the rejection of the only

side as in the dual garments worn by
the opposite sex. Sometimes there ls
merely slit, the edges neatly stitch
around and again a single line of
braid will be run down, as with dress
trousers. The coats to these skirts
differ considerably, although always
strictly mannish in suggestion. For ev-

an ordinary dinner coat and another
that is almost the fac-simile of mans
cutaway morning coat, but with one

can be thrust; and where the style
permits there comes the inevitable
breast poche for the dainty little col

which the sash is coming to play an
