The Union Mercantile Co. has had
an unusually attractive bargain sale in
progress since Nov. 3, which is to con-
tinue ten days. The fun started with
the sensational ascension of 100 balloons
bearing free gifts to all who captured
them. When the doors were thrown
open hundreds of bargains were found,
goods being slaughtered in many cases
at half their cost. And the rush for
these splendid bargains continues daily.
Another novelty is booked for Thurs
day, Nov. II, at 4:30 p. M, called a
milk drinking contest" and all the
children are invited to come and see
the fun. In the mean time the sale
goes right along from day to day, and
everybody is invited to come and take
advantage of the bargains offered.

An Outrage Upon Decency.

We are reliably informed that
on last Saturday night several
young boys of Colfax were drunk
and staggering around the
streets. One of these boys NAM
ed to us is scarcely ten years of
age. Another one who is said
t, have laid out all night in a
ditch on his drunken spree is
scarcely fifteen years of age.
Where did these boys get their
liquor? Did they get it from
Alexandria, or did they get it
from one of those miserable ex-
cIses for manhood who fiaunts
himself in the face of the COM
munity as respectable citizen,
but secretly bootlegs and dishes
out the filthy stuff for a few pal
try dimes? Will the decent citi-
zens of the community stand for
such as this?

Troubles on the Mexican Border.

For the past two or three weeks
a good deal of trouble has existed
along the Mexican border. The
United States having recognized
the Caranza government, it has
been feared Gen. Villa was going
to give trouble, but Gen. Funston
with 5000 American troops is con-
sidered amply strong to meet any
move he can make. Villa is said
to have held a brief interview
over a barbed wire fence mark
ing the international boundary,
and assured him that he wished
to avoid bringing the U. S. troops
into the conflict. The trouble
seems to be mainly with lawless
Mexican bandits.

Barrett to Speak at C0lfax Nov. Is.
Owing TO the fact that the
meeting announced in the Chron-
icle last week for Mr.. Barrett to
speak at Colfax Saturday night,
Nov. 6, confiicted with his dates
a. the Shreveport Fair, the date
for him to speak at CoIfax was
postponed to Saturday, Novem.
Der IL. A large number of the
citizens of Colfax will attend the
fair to-day. and it is decidedly
best on that account for Mr..
Barrett to defer his visit a week
later. Therefore by authority of
his campaign conn iittee we an
nounce Saturday, November Ii,
at 1880 p. m. as the date for him
to speak at the CoIfax court
house. Let everybody come out
and hear him.

There is no sensible argument
against woman's suffrage, and
yet on last Tuesday three great
States of this union defeated the
proposition. The same thing can
be said for prohibition, which the
State of Ohio also turned down
by about 40, 600 majority. These
are growing issues and we ex-
pect to live to see them adopted
in all of those States-and we
are not very many years from
the span of life's limit of three
score and ten.

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system Is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
: we have network of nerves, but when
ohealth is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emu1-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol
