CONTRACTOR TELLS
HOW RELIEF CAME
]. L. Grenier Says He VIII Never
Cease to Be Glad He
Tried Tanlac.

Louisville. KY, Dec. pa contract
or widely known here is J. L Grenier,
of 2122 West Burnett avenue. He is
one of those who have come forward
recently to testify TO the good Tanlac,
the peerless preparation, has done for
him.
For years had been the victim of
catarrh," he said. my throat was
constantly sore. l grew sluggish and
forgetful. Frequently 1 had severe
headaches, and my nerves were in a
frightful condition. Ny trouble was
worse during damp weather. but it was
bad enough at any time. My head felt
heavy, and my brain was not so active
as it had been.
II heard so many men praise Tanlac
that decided TO try it although other
remedies l had used had done me no
good. l got bottle of Tanlac and al
most at once felt relief. Now nv brain
is clear and active. my nerves are in
good shape. l sleep we'll and can do
fifty per cent more work, and better
work, than could before. l will never
cease to be glad that l tried Tanlac."
This remedy is now on sale in Rich
mond at H L. Perry's drug store. 1t

Christmas atCounty Infirmary

This Christmas will long be remem-
bered by the inmates of the Infirmary.
Mrs. Soper left nothing undone that
would add te the comfort and pleasure
OF the unfortunate inmates. Santa
Claus was there in all his glory. A
beautiful Christmas tree was decorated
and loaded down with gifts. Mr.. and
Mrs. Soper were very happy. A recita-
tion and short address added much to
the pleasure Of the evening. Credit is
due the ladies OF Richmond who con
tributed freely with eatables and cloth
ing. Not least among those ladies were
Mrs. Sam Deatherage. Miss Lucy Bur
nam and Mrs. Warfield Bennett, who
seem to take a delight in making every
one feel happy. Some very pretty gifts
were received by the inmates. a
sumptuous dinner was served and every
one seemed merry and happy. go

Snakes! Snakesl

They saw 'em. Clarence and Pete
Moberley saw 'em. Neither of them
had been to Lexington or Winchester.
But while going through the field of
Mrs. Julia Shearer near Ford, the
Moberley brothers came on bunch of
seventeen snakes, big snakes, four and
five feet long. little snakes, snakes of
many kinds. huddled together. After
killing all of same that did not escape,
they continued their walk when they
came to the second relay of snakes
five in mum Der, big. little and of differ
ent kinds. Dispatching these they con-
tinued to Ford, where they told of their
experience.
In explanation, the Kentucky river
has been on rampage which drove the
snakes from their dens. But just what
caused them to collect in squads, can
not be known.
The Moberley Brothers are reputable
citizens and DIR. D. J. Williams, a prom
inent physician, of Red House, vouches
for the truth of the story.

Suffrage Conference,

Samuel Gompers, President of

League In New York. The part
of his speech which made the
greatest hit was when he said:
Il view woman suffrage from the
practical side. 1t is q matter of
common justice. If it is an OBJ.
lection that women know little
of the value Of the vote, / can
point to millions of men who
know nothing of it's value, also
make this plea to you present.
On election day, when the ques.
tion of Constitutional Amend
ment for suffrage comes up, vote
the ballot Yes"

The registration of the voters
of the Town Of Fellsmere is going
steadily forward aud the ladies
are enjoying the unique distinc.
tion of being the first of the
Southland's suffragists to get
their names on the poll books Of
. voting precinct. The Southern
Sutfragists organization should
have those names engrossed
framed and hung up in their
headquarters. (Fellsmere, Fla,
Tribune.)
The Catholic Women's Suf-
frage League of Philadelphia was
organized at the rooms of the
Catholic Historical Society of
that City. Archbishop Prem

he was not in opposition. The
organization includes women
