Whole Family Benefited
By Wonderful Remedy

There are many little things to
annoy US, under present conditions
of life. The hurry, hard work,
noise and strain all tell on US and
tend to provoke nervousness and
irntability.. We are frequently so
worn out we can neither eat, sleep
nor work with any comfort. We
are out of line with ourselves and
others as we'll.
A good thing to do under such
circumstances is to take something
like
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pill,
to relieve the strain on the nerves.
Mrs. J. B. Hartsheld, Sc Plum St.,
Atlanta Ca, writes:
II have on several occasions been
vastly relieved by the use of your med
icines. especially the Anti-Pain Pills.
which I keep constantly on hand for
the use Of, myself, husband, and two
sons. Nothing in the world equals them
as q headache remedy. Often I am
enabled by the use Of one or two Of
the Pills to continue my homework
when otherwise would be in bed. My
husband joins me in my praise Of the
Anti-Pain Pills and Nervine."
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
are relied upon to relieve pain,
nervousness and irritability in thou
sands of households. Of proven
merit after twenty years use, you
can have no reason for being longer
without them. -

The meeting was called to Or

his resignation which was &C.
copied and Elliot Ransom was
nominated to fill the vacancy and

ballot of the five members of
the board.
An application accompanied by
a fee for license to run a pool
hall was presented and placed in
the hands of The License Com
mittee to be acted upon at the
next regular meeting.
A motion was then made to 20
into executive session and open
the bids. After several hours
of deliberations the bid of |. S,
T. Gregg and Mr.. Fisher was
found to be the lowest and best
bid and the contract was award
ed to them for $29,73 This
bid includes about 35, 600 feet
