A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Hlnggold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: Il am a user.
Of Thedfords Blacl-Draught; in fact,
It was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when |
was q child. When any Of us child
ren complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
a dose of Black-Draught, which would
reciify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
uiar until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without it,
for it certainly has saved US lots OF
doctor bills. Just a desc OF Black
Draught when not SO well saves o
lot of days in bed"
Thedford's B!aclpDraught has been
IN use for many years in the treat
ment Of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
new enjoys Is proof Of its merit.
II your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Blacll-Draught has been
found O valuable remedy for these
troubles. 1t is purely vegetable, ano
acts in a prompt and natural way
Fasslla i4t Via ting the LIVER to Its Dfopel
functions and cleansing the bowels Of
impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed
ford's. the original and genuine. q 7e

No Slackers Here.

Morgan is patriotic. A heavy
registration was witnessed yes
terday. We have been unable
to get the return from the out-of-
town precincts in full but indi-
cations are that all who were re-
quired to do so registered.
West Liberty registered as fol-
lows: Ward No. l, 81, Ward No.
2, 112; making a total of 2O3.
Indications are that more than
1000 registered in the county.
The day passed off quietly and
and without excitement, but one
could sense a deep feeling Of
patriotism in the quiet, u hes
tating way the boys marched VI
and registered for Uncle Sam,
and there were comparativly few
who claimed exemption.

Willy Colonel.

During the Civil War one of
the drummers, while the regi-
ment was one the move, had a
penchant for foraging on his own
account, and the chickens had to
roost high to escape his far
reaching hands. Whenever night
overlook them this drummer had
a good supper provided for him
self.
On one occasion he had raked
in a couple of turkeys, and had
put them into his drum for con-
venience in carrying. When the
regiment was halted for the
night the colonel Immediately
ordered dress parrde, and the
drummers were expected to beat
up.
The forager made his drum
sticks go, but the quick-eyed COL
onel noticed that he was not
drumming. "Adjutant," said
the colonel, ''that man ISM
drumming. Why amt he drum
ming?
The adjutant stepped up tt
him, saying: why amt yol
drumming?"
Because said the quick-witteC
drummer, Il have two turkeys
in my drum, and one of 'em il
for the colonel" i"
The adjutant went back, ant
the colonel asked, What is it?'
"Why he says he has got two
turkeys in his drum, and one o.
'em is for the colonel" F."
Up to this point the converse
tion had been carried on in a lov
voice, but when the adjutant re
ported, the colonel raised hi
voice so that all could hear
what! sick is he? Why didn'
he say so before? Send him tt
his tent at once"-EX.

Advice To a Baby.

Exercise Systematically h e
muscles of the throat and lungs.
Remember that for this purpose
the night air is best.
Remember the bed clothes have
but one use-to be kicked off.
Always keep in reserve a GER
tain amount of strength for the
time when your mother or the
nurse is obliged to go out, thus
leaving you alone with your faith
er. At these periods you can
show what you really amount to.
Insist upon being rocked to
sleep every night, 1t will endear
you more than ever to everybody.
When on a railway train keep
as quiet as the grave until every
body has settled down to a quiet
journey and the serious old
gentleman in the next seat has
remarked that he never saw
such a good baby. Then begin
to stir, and settle down gradually
to series of blood-curdling yells
AS you grow older and you are
taken out in your carriage, try tt
break the springs by bouncing
up and down. --EX.

West Liberty, KY,
Dear Sir
My father, T. j. Elan, had
your paper sent to me. We read
it with much interest, as we were
raised near West Liberty.
| will give you a partial ac-
count Of the cyclone which hit
Charleston, Mattoon and several
other towns near by Saturday,
May 26, about $3.50 o'clock.
Charleston is six miles south Of us
and Mattoon is y miles west. 1t
blew about GOO houses away in
Charleston and the total loss of
life was AZ. Several others were
injured. About 1900 houses
were demolished in Mattoon, 100
killed and several injured. We
went TO Charleston early Sunday
morning.
Hundreds of people were
gathered about the devastated
part OF town. 1t was a pitiful
sight to see so many homeless
people. The State Guard was
there on duty.
The Big -Four and Clover Leaf
Railroads run through there.
Both Depots were blown down.
The damage was great and Mat
toon suffered still more. Both
towns are without lightand street
car service,
! wish to compliment you on
your excellent editorial in last
weeks paper.

M|N|MG ASSESSMENTS
: ARE SUSPENDED
Both 1917 and 1918 In
Guided m the Compromise
Measure.

Mining assessments will be suspen-
ded for both this year and next. As
promised, Congressman Taylor wired
us Saturday morning that the resolu-
tion suspending assessments for 1917,
had just passed the house Of repre-
sentatives. This word was bulletined,
altho the News-Champion had been
printed for the week. On Wednesday
we received wire stating that a con-
ference committee of house and sem
ate had agreed as a compromise upon
suspending the assessment law for
both this year and next. Senator
Shafroth had passed a resolution thru
the senate providing for no assessment
work during the war, but this was thot
too liberal. The compromise will un-
doubtedly be signed by the president
in a day or two, and News Champion
will then publish the resolution as
passed. Among other things it pro-
vides that formal advantage must be
taken of the resolution by filing a no.
tice with the clerk and recorder for
each year.
II you have not already spent your
hundred dollars on mineral assess
ment for this year, don't do it, unless
there is immediate prospect Of open
ing shipping mineral. Labor, mater
ial and time are too expensive to
waste on dead work while we have the
Kaiser on our hands. The passage Of
this resolution will save thousands Of
dollars to Gunnison miners.
Gunnison news-champion., 1917-09-28
HARD COAL PRICES
GO UP AGAIN

Instead Of lowering, hard coal prices
in Gunnison have gone up with q
bound. Last year we bought the bet
ter grade for $6.75 and the No. 6, pea
coal for $3.50. Day before yesterday
word was received by local de41ers
that the Spycsnment had hxed Ets,.
prices for this winter at 500 for
Nos. 8 and 5, Sits for Nos. l. md
2 and $500 for the cheaper No. 9.
Retail prices for soft coal and coke
will be fixed by the first Of October.
Perhaps these prices are not as high
as they would have been had the gov
ernment not taken a hand, but they
are confoundedly high. Whether .
man could save money by burning
less coal and buying more clothes is
also an open question.
The government fuel commission
has called for statistiss covering the
production and sale Of every coal
mine in the country, together with
estimates for the future and state
ments Of existing contracts. The
companies Of Paonia, Bowie, and Som
erset accordingly have little extra
work on their calendar for this week.

er man has been propitious and in
spite of late ripening, there is con-
siderable part of the upper valley
crop going to get ripe. Palisades
shipped fifty cars of peaches in one
day, and the total output was 900 to
700 cars. Best Of all the growers
got SOC box for most Of the crop
and cleaned up a bunch of good mon
ey.
The apple crop is coming on splen-
didly now, with prospects of more
money for the fruit growers Than ever
