MANY ENJOY BIG BARBECUE
Hundreds Eat Roasted Steer and
Dance at l. o. o. f. Hall.

In spite of the inclement weather
1t showed steadily most of last
Saturday-the democratic barbecue
and celebration of the party's vic
tories in the recent election, proved
a grand success.
Hundreds of people were fed at
the |. o. o. f. hall Saturday and
some were fed several times. When
the people came back for the sec
ond trial of the barbecued steer, the
roast pig, the salads, buns, pickles
and coffee, it was a mighty good
sign that the "eats" were good.
James Fitzpatrick, Fred Chambers
and James Casey presided most of
the day at the serving tables and
liberal helpings were provided for
all. "Billie" Ferbrache was a busy
man and with his corps of helpers
was kept busy replenishing supplies
at the serving table.
In the evening the Bonners Ferry
band gave a short concert after
which dancing was INDUCED in I'M
III q idtc hOui. IItQ OHdiilDtTS WAS
chief floor master and popularized
himself with the older folks when
he announced that every fourth dance
would be a Square dance" Nearly
800 people attended the dance be-
sides those who came for a few
minutes to look on. The spectators
took up so much room that the
dancers had but little chance to en-
joy themselves during the early
hours.
Folks from all parts of the county
came in to enjoy the days celebra-
ton and joined with the townspeo-
pie in pronouncing the barbecued
beef "the best meat they had ever
eaten"
The news of the barbecue had
evidently been circulated to towns
outside of the county for there was
noted increase of "floaters" who
made it point, upon reaching town,
to inquire where the barbecue was
being held. The Indian lads were
also on hand and paid remarkable
tributes to the excellent cooking OF
those in charge of the barbecue.

salary basis of $4,000 per annum
for each year, so that the commits
sion ran shorter of funds than it
expected.
There will hardly be enough left
in the appropriation for the salaries
of the commissioners for the last
month of the year, but when the sit
uation is explained to the new leg
islature it is believed that the over
sight will be corrected and sufficient
added to the new appropriation to
take care of the salaries.

Langley Man Was in Bed Ten Weeks
-Tanlac Got Him Up


Z. ID. Watts, a well-known citizen
of Clearwater, S. c., went into How
ards Drug Store at Augusta, Ga,
few days ago to get bottle of Tan
lac and while there told of the re-
markable recovery of his brother-in-

which caused such genuine astonish-
ment to everybody in the commun-
ity who had known anything about
Mr. Walkers serious condition that
hundreds of people have fastened to
procure the medicine and are now
using it.

weeks and his muscles would liter

it, for he was in about as bad a fix
as a man could be.

to ever let up, day or night. He suf-
fered so he couldn't sleep at all ana
couldn't move around enough to get
cut of bed.
Gle was just as nervous as he
could be and had high fevers off and
on during all this time. He had ter
TRIBE headaches and his stomach was
so upset that he was nauseated and
seldom had any appetite or desire to
take nourishment of any kind. The
fact is his system was simply broken
down with nervousness and pain.

in on it, thinking, maybe, that II
would stop the sick stomach and
