COUNTY ATTORNEY RONEY
ASKS FOR REELECTION.

The Courier is authorized to
announce County Attorney James
W. Roney as a candidate for re-
election to the office he now
holds, and which he has so ably
filled for the past two terms
1t IS hardly necessary TO re
call the fact that Judge Roney is
a Democrat and AN able, fearless
lawyer; has prosecuted fearlessly
and without favor and given his
office strict attention. His rec
ord, after having served the cOun-
~ for the past seven years, Is
doubtless his best recommended
ton, and should commend his
candidacy to the consideration
Of Fulton county voters. lnas-
much as he is well and favorably
known throughout the county, 1T
is a waste of time TO enter into
a lengthy discussion of his quail
flcatiOns, etc, and II is only nee
esSary To say that he Will aPpre-
ciate your support at the polls on
August 4th and will continue, II
elected, 10 serve you 10 the very
best of his ability-which Is quite
equal to every emergency that
may arise i'm the discharge of the
duties of the office of County AT
tOrney.
In speaking of his candidacy
Mr.. Rooney says;
There are SO many things OF
vital interests TO the county that
have been recently begun and are
yet unfinished that il seems I'M
wise To make change at this
time in the office of County At
torney. / am familiar with not
only the financial affairs but the
system for Improvement of our
roads, by county, state and fed
eral aid. j am closely in touch
with every interest of the county
and have made II a close study
because IL has been my business
" tAO ~ Il want " Sc
county occupy place at the
head of the column for every
thing good, a place 1T deserves
and which l believe it Will occupy
during the next four years. j
want to be County Attorney
when that happens and l know
can render considerable aSsls-
lance in every department of the
county s affairs while it is attain
ing that end.
Il am very grateful To my
friends for their support IN the
past and feel deeply the aid and
moral support they have given
me which has made possible the
success which has attended my
efforts on many occasions.

ONLY $50 TON.

According to an exchange cab
bage which a year ago were
sold at SO ton, are this year
quoted in the United States at
$50. With this announcement
comes the statement that the
stock of cabbage is larger now
than a year ago, but that they
are all in the hands of specula-
tors, who are holding them for
still higher prices. Hickman
merchants have almost quit hand
ling this once common necessity

Try IT. SUBSTITUTE

Starts Your Liver Without Max
ing You Sick And Can Not
Salivate.

Every druggist in town your
druggist and everybody's drug
gist has noticed a great falling
off in the sale of calomel. They
all give the same reason bod
son s Liver Tone is taking its
place.
"Calomel is dangerous and peo-
pie know it, while Dodson s Liver
Tone is perfectly safe and gives
better results" said a prominent
local druggist. Dodson's Liver
Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A
large bottle costs 80 cents, and
if it fails to give easy relief In
every case of liver sluggishness
and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson' s Liver Tone is a pleas
and tasting, purely vegetable rem
edy, harmless to both children and
adults. Take a spoonful at night
and wake up feeling fine; no bill
iousness, sick headaches, acid
stomach or constipated bowels 1t
doesn't grippe or cause inconven-
fence all the next day like vio-
lent calomel. Take a dose OF
calomel today and tomorrow you
will feel weak, sick and nauseat-
ed. Don't lose a days work J
Take Dodson's Liver Tone insteas
and feel fine, full of vigor and
ambition. Advt.
