SUGGESTS MUGWUMP
STOCK COMPANY

STOCK COMPANY
Sunday School has been re-or-
.anized here, and unusual interest
S being manifested in the work.
Mr.. Green, who has been Super
ntendent for the past twenty-five
tears was reelected for the en-
|uing year. Under his sagacious
management the success of the
school is insured.
Geo. Green, an octogenarian,
after an illness of several months,
lied at his home near Naillon last
Wednesday and was buried the
Following day at the Grassy Fork
Cemetery. He was born and
reared in this section and by all
who knew him he was regarded
hs an estimable citizen. He leaves
d wife and a large number of
relatives and friends to mourn his
departure.
There seems to be a great deal
|Df wondering in Cooke County
relative to political matters. The
Browns Gap correspondent did
some splendid speculation in last
weeks issue of THE NEWPORT
PLAIN TALK. Everybody seems
Ito be specializing as to the future
that inevitably awaits certain
Cooke county peanut politicians.

ally, not by their own good works,
but through the influence Of their
friends. Now, Cooke County's eff
ficient Circuit Court Clerk, Clyde
McMahan, after an incumbency of
four years as clerk is vehemently
seeking the deputyship under his
successor, Mr.. Lowell. Thinking
reader, can't you imagine some
thing better for Clyde than this?
Isn't there a position Of honor
toward the top of the ladder of
fame that Clyde could fill with
lubricity? 1t must be remembered
that this young gentleman made
his political debut four years ago
when he entered the race for Cir
cult Court Clerk in a bona fide
Republican primary, receiving the
nomination by a good majority
over his competitor, a man of
ability. After taking some things
under deliberate consideration,
the burning question has arisen,
why did Clyde refuse to seek for
a second term? It is customary
for public officials to ask for a
second term and run on their
records made while serving their
first. Wonder if Clyde would
have been willing to run on his
record? Some of our county Of
ficials ran on theirs and were re-
nominated by good majorities.
But the peanut politician is crest
fallen. From a political stand
point he has met his Waterloo,

CALOMEL IS A FORM
OF DEADLY MERCURY
Instead of Such Dangerous Stuff,
1t is Recommended That You
Take Dodson's Liver Tone
for Constipation.

Dodson's Liver Tone was made
to take the place of calomel.
Calomel is a form of mercury
a mineral and a poison. Dodson's
Liver Tone is an all vegetable
liquid-neyer harmful.
What calomel does unpleasant
ly and often with danger for con-
stipation and sluggish liver, bod
sons Liver Tone does for you
safely and pleasantly with no pain
and no grippe. 1t does not interfere
in any way with your regular bus
mess, habits or diet. You feel
good after taking it.
The great success and wide sale
of Dodson's Liver Tone are the
result of what it does for people.
Its merit is backed up by a guar
antee of satisfaction or your
money back" as the Smith Drug
Co., druggists, will tell YOU so.
.Dodson's Liver Tone was in
tended from the start to take the
place of calomel. The label on
the bottle always has said SO, be-
ginning with the first bottle sold.
Dodson's Liver Tone "livens
the liver" overcomes constipation
agreeably and makes you feel
good, and if you are not satisfied
completely with it. the Smith
Drug Co., will hand back the pur-
chase price SOC to you with a
smile.
When you go to buy family
remedy, don't fail to Judge be-
tween the plain, simple truth
about Dodson's and the loud
claims of its imitators. That the
public does so accounts for the
enormous increase in the sales Of
Dodson's Liver Tone month after
month.

ALI Rats and Pigeons Being Destroy

CHICAGO, November THE Chica go

ago, were closed today because of the
epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease
which is raging among cattle in
thirteen states.
Placed under quarantine by state and

a thorough process of fumigat tion be-
fore the Strengthening of animals will

Il war dirigiblc have been complete ed

announced today and a. six DOT model

dirigible any builder might send to this

experiments for the future develop-
ment of the dirigible.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Pending decisive developments
on any of the European fields of
battle, the fall of Tsingtau held
first place in the attention of mill
tary men today. Official reports
from Toxic show that it was not
without desperate resistance that
the German garrison, vastly out
numbered by British and Japa-
nese, gave up the fight.
Today's official French state
ment says that the British and
French forces have repulsed Ger
man attacks along almost the en-
tire front and that northeast of
.Verdun, where the territory has
long been disputed with excep-
tional ferocity, two villages have
been captured by the allies.
Although the French state
ment asserts that the Germans
have been driven back at various
points, the situation in the main
apparently is practically the same
as has been the case for several
weeks, so far as the general line
of battle is concerned.
Russia, in an official statement,
makes the claim that the resist
ance Of the enemy has been
broken, after fighting of several
weeks along a front of $50 miles.
Notwithstanding Russian claims
to an overwhelming success iii
the east, there is nothing to show
that the German and the Aus
trian forces have met great disas-
ter, and, although they were COM
PEELED to retreat, they apparently
were able to fall back upon
strongly fortified positions select
ed in advance.

INTEREST CENTERS
IN BALKAN STATES

Join Entente Powers in Fighting
Turkey and Austria.

LONDON, November For the pres
ent interest is centered in the possi-
bilities of the Balkan states becoming
involved in the European war. Greece.
it is stated, has annexed Epirus, which
she was denied by the London con-
ference after the first Balkan war.
1t is also said on good authority that
negotiations are proceeding for an ar
rangement by which Bulgaria will re-
ceive Macedonia. which is largely Bull
garian, if she will consent to give her
active support to the allies cause
Servia, which won Macedonia by the
sword, hesitates. it is said, to give it
up: but it is thought here she can
hardly turn deaf ear to Russia, who
entered upon the war. on her account.
Further. it is said, she would receive
compensation in Bosnia, through which
she would get a route to the sea.

RECOUNT OF VOTES LIKELY.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. November T.
That recount of Tuesdays vote. es-
pecially in Milwaukee county, is likely
and may affect the vote for United

county offices, was the basis Of much
political gossip in Milwaukee today
Several thousand ballots thrown out
by election clerks in Milwaukee county

prominent social democratic attorney
to be legal. may considerably change
the totals in the race for United States
senator between Paul O. Husting, dem
ocrat, and Gov. Francis Il. McGovern,

The returns for United States SEN
ator from the state as compiled early
