Facts and Fiction
Experiences of Colfax Citizens are
Easily Proven to be Facts.

The most superficial investigation
will prove that the following statement
from resident of Colfax is true. Read
it and compare evidence from Colfax
people with testimony of strangers liv-
ing so far away you cannot investigate
the facts of the case. Many more citi-
zens of Colfax endorse Doan's Kidney
Pills.
w. liver, blacksmith, Colfax, La,
says: Whenever my kidneys 60
wrong, take Doan's Kidney Pills and
they are the only thing that ever do me
any good. | sometimes get kirk in
my back, obliging me to go about for a
time all bent over. My kidneys often
become irregular in faction. Shooting
horses is not the best thing for the kid
neys anyway. l take Doan's Kidney
Pills for a few days and the trouble
disappears. My back soon feels as
strong as ever. always have good
word for Doan's Kidney Pills and rec
ommend them whenever l hear anyone
complaining of kidney disorders
Price so cents at all dealers. Don'i
simply ask for kidney remedy-gei

W. c. +. U. Ladies' Visit Court.

Several of the ladies of the W. c. I.
u. were in the court house on Thurs
day and sat through the trial of two OF
three cases against bootleggers. They
were surprised at the clumsy subter-
fuges by which parties were able to es.
cape conviction under the charge OF
selling liquor illegally. In fact, they
thought large part of the testimony
for the defense was rather too thin fol-
them tn believe. It's all right, ladies'
public sentiment is against the thing,
offenders have to hide out and will have
to quit before great while, or the PEG.
pie will know the reason why, withou,
consulting the lawyers.

Number / of Volume xxx.

This issue of the Chronicle Degins
the 39th year of its existence. The
paper was started III 1876 by j. M.
Sweeney, and was run by him with in
different success little more than one
year, and Was suspended q few weeks.
Gu NV. 2, 1877, H. G. Goodwin, ths
present editor, arrived in Coifax ano
took charge of the paper. and has ha,
control of il for 81 consecutive years.
In the 81 years we have had charge
we have issued the Chronicle in 81 CON-
plete volumes, each containing So mum.
bers, one for each week of the year.
In all this time we have only missec
three issues of the paper. and they
ere accounted for, each volume being
. 81 complete numbers. In the 81 years
the paper has gained one day on each
volume, and is 81 days ahead in time.
1t occurs this way: The year has 36s
days in it, whereas the yearly volume
OF the paper is made up in 81 weeks
and 81 weeks of days only make 364
days. Thus we have gained one ds,
each year in the entire 81. amounting
in al to little more than FIVE weeks.
In this way, Notwithstanding. the loss
of three issues, we are still q little
ahead as to time. This is shown BY
the date of this frat issue of Volume
81. Oct. 81. 1914. whereas, we begar
our first issue 81 years ago on Nov. 2
1897, and we are now ahead Of tina,
date two days. Thus we appear t.
have gotten ahead of Father Time, al
anomalous condition of things we be-
lisve that can be attained by nobody
else beside the editor of week.,
newspaper.
Notwithstanding. our dates show VIZ
have apparently forged ahead of Father
Time. the old gentleman has dealt kind
ly with US. and we trust we may b.
permitted TO run many annual race.
