MARIETTA MANS VICTORY

Mr.. Randolph Howell, Of Chatta-
nooga, has just been elected tax as
SCISSOR of his county by majority of
500 votes over his opponent after
being nominated for the race by ac-
clamation. The county paper prints
his picture and calls his 'the not
able victory of very splendid young
man" 1t continues:
Seldom has a candidate for office
in this county labored under more
difficult conditions than did Ran
dolph Howell.
Mr.. Howell has never played
what is known as the Ring" His
great difficulty was to prevent the
voters from CHASING him as a Ring
or Anti-Ring man. The city officials
very generally supported his candi-
dacy, and it was necessary for him
to win to retain the support of all
factions. This he did, and the fact
that he did it so well and so diplo-
matically and graciously, maintain
ing harmony throughout the cam
paign, speaks highly of his capacity
as leader
This tribute to a native of our
town pleases every citizen and is
especially gratifying to his brothers
and sisters who have lived all their
lives in Marietta.

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Wome= who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia 4. pinkham
Medicine Co are continually publishing,
genuine?" Are they truthful 4"
why do women write such letters g? "
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham S Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some OF
the worst forms of female ills, from dis.
placements, inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
1t is impossible for any woman who
is well and who ESSE~CS~N

sons, beginning with 1902. As a senior
he captained the eleven. During his

times aud Princeton three times.
On the Yale track team Sheylin also
shone as a star, carrying "Y" in each.
He played on the basketball team in

when he wore "Y" at Yale. Shevlin
had always stood ready to come to the
aid of his alma mater as football adj
wiser aud coach. Last fall he struggled
hard 10 whip the aggregation into shape
TO meet Harvard, aud the subsequent
overwhelming defeat preyed on his
mind.
After leaving Yale, at the close Of

returned 10 his home, and the day fol-
lowing was taken down with pneumonia.
