Dangers of Drafts.

Drafts feel best when we are hot and
perspiring, and when they are most
dangerous and the result is neuralgia,
stiff neck, sore muscles or sometimes
an attack of rheumatism. In such cases
apply Sloan's Liniment. 1t stimulates
circulation to the sore and painful part
The blood flows freely and in a short
time the stiffness and pain leaves.
Those suffering from neuralgia or neu-
ralgic headache will find one or two APP
plications of Sloan's Liniment will give
grateful relief. The agonizing pain
gives way to tingling sensation of
comfort and warmth and quiet rest and
sleep is possible. Good for neuritis too.
Price 25c at your druggist. Adv.-1.

print this week a communication
from Prof. j. R. DeMoss, princi-
pal of the Colfax high school,
embodying the financial report
of the Colfax School Improvement
League and the disbursements

The ladies who have devoted their
time and energies to this worthy
labor of love should have the
hearty support of every citizen
in the community, and we feel
sure the general public endorses
all the professor has to say with
out a dissenting voice.

large circle of friends. The
bride has been one of the teach
ers in the Colfax high school for
the 1915 session and part Of the
1916 session, and her popularity
so won the heart of the young
groom that he prevailed on her
to join the long list of brides that
the bonnie teachers in the high
school have furnished this COM
munity. The Chronicle joins
their many friends in wishing
the happy couple long lives OF
usefulness and prosperity.

The New Apollo Picture Show.

By an oversight we failed to
make mention of the fact that
Colfax now boasts of two good
moving picture shows. Mr.. H.
G. Faraldo, manager of the new
Apollo Theater, has had his
theater in operation for more
than two weeks. and now that
most of the elections are over
our folks can attend a picture
show six nights in the week.
The two shows have made an ar
rangement whereby each one will
give three shows every week,
and as both do not show the same
night, it affords amusement for
every night in the week, and
each show gets a good crowd.

Conductor John Tucker, of the L. r.
& N. freight train. had little alterca-
ton with a negro Wednesday, and had
to interview the mayor about it. His
honor decided it was all right for the
conductor to use whatever force was
necessary to put the negro off his train,
but as he had followed the darkey of
the train and off the railroad dump and
got on town soil in order to deliver q
punch and administer parting kick he
had violated the town ordinance about
fighting. and would have to pay a fine
of one dollar.
