She GAVE UP
ALL her WORK
On Account Of Her Weakness, But
Cardui, the Woman's Tonic,
Brought Back Strength

Summit, Va.--Mrs. Leonora Walk
er, OF this place, has the following to
say regarding her experience with
Cardui, the woman's tonic. Before
I began to take Cardui I suffered with
womanly troubles. and, also. with
what I thought was stomach trouble.
I was so weak I had to give up all
my housework, and could not do any
Of the cooking
I commenced taking Cardui. the
woman's tonic, and after the third
day began to feel better. Have now
used five bottles, and am we'll, and
can do all Of my housework and cook
ing by myself. In fact. I feel like n
new woman.
1 shall be only too glad to do any
thing can to help praise the Cardui
Homo Treatment, for 1t is so good
for suffering women. I shall never
be without It,"
For over half century Cardui has
been helping to build weak, nervous,
tired-out women back to strength and
health. 1t goes TO tho seat of the
trouble and builds up womanly
strength where 1t is most needed.
Cardui may be tho very medicine
your system has long been needing.
Get bottle from your druggist to-
day. 1t cannot harm you. and should
surely do for you what it has done for
so many thousands Of othors.

wITHDRAws FROM RACE.

Hon. J. B.. Prose, OF Hoisingtou Wht
Some weeks ago announced himself
as a candidate for district Judge Of
this judicial district, has decided that
on account of his extensive legal
practice and other BUSINESS affairs,
which demand his time, he viii be
unable to give his campaign the time
and attention 1t deserves and has
therefore withdrawn from the race
The candidacy Of Mr.. Prose had
met with considerable approval over
the district and his friends urged
him to continue IN the race, but he
felt that he could not spare the at.
tention from his other business a.
fairs to make a complete canvas Of
the district, and as the Judge believe
in thOroughuess in all things he de-
cided TO get out Of the race entirely
This leaves clear fled for Judge
Banta, the present incumbent and a
candidate for a second term, and Il
Is quite probable that no oppOsiticr
will be brought out against him. He
has given good satisfaction during his
tenure Of office, and 1t seems to be
the universal opinion that he should
receive a second term.

When Stella Bernice RobInson, a
young colOred woman from 'Decatur.
lis, came in from that place on No .
IL Sunday morning.. she naturally ez.
pPted her husband, Menoe Robin.
Son, to meet her, as well as other a
nr rlatives and friends, for she con
sidered that she was a person Of Inn
portance and was therefore entitled.
to these marks Of distinctin.
But she hardly expected that her
arrival in the city would be an event.
Of such Importance that a reception.
committee from the county would b
on hand b receive her and insist on.
escorting her to hotel especially tor
people Of such distinction.
But such was the case. Sheriff w :
NJ. Brown had received word from,
the authorities at Decatur that the
people OF that city we're loath TO part
company with Stella Benice and MI.
Brown was asked to look after StsI
Ia and see that she was properly car.s

place could arrive and try end pre-.

Of Decatur's hospitality once more.
So the sheriff kindly took Stdla-

ed her to his hosiery immediatsly
upon her arrival, and in his sauv0
and gentSemanly manner informed hee
OF the fact that she was wanted N
Decatur for appropriatiug several huM
dred dollars wOth Of diamonds, Jew
elry and dresses from the wife of q
former employer, physician Of Do
catur. At first she indignantly de-.
MED that her name was Robinson OF
that she had ever been IN Decatur,
but search of her baggage reveal
ed a number of the missing articles,
including a diamond ring, a weddins
ring, cameo necklace and coral lbreast

Present Mayor Endorsed BY Mass
Convention Tuesday Night.

= The caucus Of the Citizens Con.
vention at the court house Tuesday
night for the purpose Of nominating
a candidate for mayor, was well at
tended and great interest was mani.
tested in the proceedings.
The convention was called to or.
der by w. E. Stoke, of the commit.
tee. F. ]. Kramer was placed in nom
nation by George Spencer for chair,
man Of the convention and Jas. W.
Clarke was nominated by c. c. Jack
son. No other names were placed
in nomination, and a ballot being
taken, Kramer was elected by a vote
Of "A to II. ]. X. McMullen was
elected as secretary of the caucus.
Nominations for mayor then being
In order, the name of o. w. Dawson
was placed before the convention by
Attorney Clyde Allphin, and that Ct
the present incumbent, D. C. Luse,
by som Wright. No other nOmina-
tons were made, and the resulting
ballot showed SO votes for Luse and
Sc for Dawson.
There was considerable fesling iT
the matter, and the opposition to the
nomination of LuSe was strong, buf
the closeness of the vote was consid
cradle Of a surprise to even the sup
p0rters of Dawson, as it was though
that Luse would show much more
strength than disclosed by the vote
inaSmuch as he was a candidate fol
a second term, and the endorsement
given his administration was not al
hearty as his supporters would hay'
liked. The Dawson followers have {
further complaint in that a good pc
cent Of the ballots voted for Lus'
had been prepared and distributed il
advance, being written ON a type,
writer, and this they claim was no
playing the game according to th'
rules laid down by Hoyle.
The petitions of Dawson for tn,
race had been circulated and filed be
fore the meeting, anyway, so he wal
in the race regardless Of the actiol
Of the convention.
Both men are in the race to stay
and the fight promises TO be an in
lteresting one, Beth have plenty o
warm supporters who are workint
hard in their behalf and the cha1cel
are that 4 big vote viii be polled a
