ers Of Jackson at a special election
eld June 16. The election was hello
under authority of an act OF the legis.
lature. which permitted the city Of
Jackson to acquire the property, leases
and franchises, provided a majority of
the voters of the city should authorize
1t, and to issue bonds to the amount
OF $4,000 with which to meet the al.
tendant expenses.
According to a report of the officers
and directors Of the concern, the sum
total which the city would have to as.
sumo In order to take up and operate
the property would be $1,000. The re.
naming $4,000 would not be sold un.
til ctually needed, and it is shown that
by making the investment of the $27,.
600. as proposed, the city would ac.
quire the property at a conservative
valuation of $50, 900, as shown by q
recent appraisement.
Considering the fact that the spe,
cial election had not been extensively
advertised or discussed, nearly 80 per
cent of the city vote was gotten out
to the polls. The count showed that
the proposition had carried in the city
by a vote of over 2 to 1. Out of a to.
tai Of 996 votes cast, CTS were in favor
Of the bond issue to 321 against.

SHE QUIT
But It Was q Hard Pull.

1t is hard to believe that coffee will
put q person in such q condition as II
did an Ohio woman. She tells her
own story:
I did not believe coffee caused my
trouble, and frequently said I liked 1t
so well l would not, and could not,
quit drinking 1t. but l was a miserable
sufferer from heart trouble and nerv.
ous p~rostration for four years.
I was scarcely able to be around,
had no energy and did not care for
anything. Was emaciated and had a
constant pain around my heart until I
thought I could not endure 1t.
frequently I had nervous chills
and the least excitement would drive
sleep away, and any little noise would
upset me terribly. l was gradually
getting worse until finally l asked my
self what's the use Of being sick all
the time and buying medicine so that
l could indulge myself in coffee?
so I got some Postum to help me
quit. I made 1t strictly according to
directions and I want to tell you that
change was the greatest step in my
life. 1t was easy to quit coffee be-
l now like Postum better than
the coffee.
Zone by one the old troubles left
until now l am in splendid health,
nerves steady, heart all right and the
pain all gone. Never have any more
n v chills, don't take any medi-
cine, a do all my house work and
have done a great deal besides"
