September. He has, however, been
out of the state considerable portion
of the time since his election. He
stated in his letter to Judge Mcknight
that he did not expect to return again
to this county. His successor will be
elected at the July term of the quar-
terly court.
The resignation or removal of Mr..
Harris also creates a vacancy in the
county democratic committee from the
Fifth district. This is the second va
cancy in that district since the COM
mittee was elected in the winter of
1914. Hicks Richardson was recently
elected to one of the vacancies. How
ever, until another member is elected
Mr.. Richardson will, under the rules
of the committee, cast the entire vote
Of the district.

TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS
WIDOW WOMAN WAS IN BAD
HEALTH FOUR YEARS AND
COULDN'T TAKE CARE OF
HER CHILDREN.

proved that | don't feel or act IKE
the same woman. | don't know now
much weight / have gained, as l
haven't weighed lately, but feel sure
that have gained twenty-five pounds"
rms remarkable statement was MADE
by Mrs. Malissia Griggs, highly re-
spected widow lady, who lives at Sll
Oriel Street, Nashville, Tenn.
Mrs. Griggs, according to her own
statement, has been widow for nVe
years, and is in humble circumstances
with two children to provide for. she
also states that after her second baby
came four and one-half years ago, she
has been an invalid, and after losing
her husband has been making her
home with her sister, and has been
entirely dependent on them as she was
unable to work on account OF poor
health. She now states that after TAX
ing three bottles Of Tanlac she feels
strong enough to do most any kind OF
work and she expects to try and get
position and help provide for her chill
dren. She has lived in Nashville for
nine years, and is highly respected.
Continuing, she said: Il suffered
extreme nervousness for five or six
years, caused from indigestion and
stomach trouble. After eating It'll
seemed that my whole system would
rebel and become upset. My heart
would flutter and seem to almost stop
beating would have swimming of
the head and seemed to be turning
around and around, my food would
sour and ferment in my stomach and
would have to manage to throw up
before could get any relief at all.
Il was almost nervous wreck. II
couldn't sleep some nights even as
much as one hour If l dosed off, I |
would awake in fright, scared half |
to death. Many nights | would get up !
and down unable to sleep at all. At
times my flesh would become numb |
and tingle like needles piercing it. No
one but my sister knows how | suf- |
fered. My eyes would get effected at |
times and dark spots would appear
before them and last sometimes for
hours.
Il saw Tanlac advertised so much
and praised by so many people here in
Nashville that | decided to get a bot
tie and see if it would help me. Be-
fore had taken half of the first bot
tie noticed my nerves getting more
quiet and ! began to sleep better.
Noises of different kinds which use to
upset me so, cid not seem to bother
me. My stomach began to improve
and | got so could eat right along.
II have taken three bottles, and as
! told you before, don't feel like the
same woman, and I believe | have
actually gained twenty-five pounds.
Tanlac is grand medicine, and am
going to take another bottle, although t
sleep we'll and my indigestion is j
nearly gone. |

THE CITY COUNCIL

At the last meeting Of the City
Council the question OF purchasing
municipal garbage feet precipitated
a battle between administration and
anti.administration forces. In the end
the mayors forces won a tactical VIC
tory, although by q vote Of thirty.
seven to twenty.six the Council had
earlier in the evening directed the
purchase of the feet.
The victory Of the Lawley.De Priest.
Michaelson faction was achieved
when the promoters Of the municipal
feet sought to put through an appro.
priation Of $6,965 for its maintenance.
The vote was 80 to 20. and The ap.
preparation was declared lost because
1t did not receive the necessary two.
thirds majority. The action of the
Council. It Is believed. will tend to
keep In force the present contract
held by Christopher Manner and other
friends Of the administration.
Among the appropriations made
were $4,000 for real estate experts
In the board Of local improvements
and $1,000 for City Attorney Francis
Office. There was fight over the lat.
ter, and 1t was only saved when Aid.
George Pretzel switched his vote.
Mayor Thompson appointed as
members of board Of inspectors Of
the Bridewell Ralph Esau and John J..
Sloan. Aid. c. T.. Merriam led a fight
against Sloan. saying he was not 'in
sympathy with modern prison meth.

firmed, SO to o. The next meeting Of

LITERATURE FOR THE
 GOOD ROADS MEASURE

There being no funds with which to conduct an exhaustive campaign Of education favoring the adoption of Amendment No. Il, the good roads measure, and no way for raising them the merchants of Arkansas and the automobilists, have consented to distribute among the farmers what little literature that has been printed.
 As this amendment provides a way Tor making permanent improvements m every county of the state. and with out an increase in taxation, the voters will support it if it is explained tc them. There are ample means for reaching the town voter, but the rural voter Is the one most vitally interest. ed, yet he will not support any amendment that he does not under stand He will not vote against. leaving the ticket unscratched on the question, which counts the same as vote against. It is therefore the duty of everyone interested to explain the amendment to every farmer he meets, thus doing a great work for his state.
