LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS.
Tells How To Loosen A Tender
Corn or Callus 80 it Lifts out
Without Pain.

You reckless men and women
who are pestered with corns and
who have at least once week
invited an awful death from lock-
jaw or blood poison are now told
by a Cincinnati authority to use
a drug called freezone, which the
moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness
is relieved and soon the entire
corn or callus, root and all, lifts
off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it
is applied, and simply shrivels the
corn or eallus without inflaming
or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin. A small bottle
of freezOne viii cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but
will positively rid one S feet Of
every hard or soft corn or harden
ed callus. If your druggist hash I
any freezone he can get it at
any wholesale drug house for
you. Advt.

What is Needed For
Armor Plate Plant.
(Con. from first page)

supply not subject to Interrupt
ton.
Electrical power of about 4, ZOO
kilowatt capacity will be requir-
ed. This may be produced by a
power plant as part of the ar
NOR plant, or a local source of
supply may be utilized.
The ground for the location of
the site should be fairly level and
not require undue grading. 1t
should be susceptible of easy
drainage and permit of good
foundations for buildings and ex-
tremely heavy machinery at reas-
enable cost. Three presses in
the forge shop are estimated to
weigh 100000 pounds each. Con
ditions should be favorable for
the disposal of sewage and refuse
and for modern sanitation.
Aside from a full consideration
of all the elements entering into
the subject of the selection of
site for an armor plant, the
board has been directed by the
Navy Department to report spe-
officially upon:
Cost of assembled material en-
teTlng into the manufacture Of
armor plate.
Availability and character of
labor.
Freight rataes from reliable
source of supply to proposed loca-
ton.
Freight rates of the finished
plates to ship yards on the east
and west coasts of the United
States.
The difference in freight rates
by rail and by water from the
proposed location TO the east and
west coasts.
1t will be recognized that I'M
der its instructions the board is
concerned with the cost of as
sembled materials obtained from
existing markets rather than with
the undeveloped resources of
any locality.
The chambers Of commerce and
commercial clubs of number of
cities interested in the location
of the armor plant have taken
great pains to collect most useful
data IN many cases this infor-
nation is very complete. 1t has
been of great assistance TO the
board and Is highly appreciated.
| BY letter the Armor Plant
Board has requested data cover
ing freight rates on the raw ma
terials indicated III paragraph
-
The board, for better compare
tive purposes, will refer for
prices of commodities to official
published reports.
Until the board has obtained
the additional information re
quired, and has had an opportu-
nifty to examine all the data on
hand, AN itinerary will not be pre-
pared. The cities which are tc
be visited will be notified as fal
In advance as practicable.

jim vEATCH ANNOUNCES
FOR TAX ASSESSOR.

The Courier Is authorized to an
nounce the candidacy of James E.
veatch, of near Fulton, for the
office of Tax Assessor of Fulton
county, subject to the action of
the 1917 Democratic primary.
Speaking of Mr.. veatch. one of
the county's best citizens and
farmers, the Leader, his home
paper, says:
Perhaps there is not a more
popular man in Fulton county
than James Veatch. He was born
and reared in the county and
has proven himself to be a good
citizen, a loyal Democrat, and a
man fully capable Of filling the
office for which he is asking
with credit to himself and party.
He enters the race to make a
cleaC.- fight from start to finish
and if defeated will support the
nominee.
"This is his first time out for
an office, although he has work
ed all his life for the best inter
ests of the party and never
thought of voting anything but a
straight ticket.
"He now comes before You ask,
ing for your vote and support,
pledging himself, if elected to con
duet the office to the best OF his
ability"

REV. O. DURRETT DIES.

Rev. o. Durrett, colored, pastor
of the Pleasant Hill Baptist
church, died here Sunday, of
stomach trouble. The venerable
colored preacher was abut 81
years old, a leader among his
people and possessed many
friends among the whites. He
had been pastor here for about 10
or Is years. The handsome con-
crete church building, owned by
his congregation, was built large
ly by the hands of Rev. Durrett.
1t will be remembered that new
church building very similar In
design and on the same spot,
was destroyed by fire few
years ago, together with their old
frame church and parsonage, just
as it was being completed, put
Rev. Durrett was not dismayed
and set to work to rebuild the
church, which now stands as q
monument of his labor. 1t may
be said that Rev. Durrett was
one of the most prominent color
ed churchmen in Kentucky, hold
ing one of the biggest eccleslas-
teal offices within the gift OF his
people in this State. His deaff
takes from Hickman one of If
most honorable negro citizens ont
whose work, we are sure, has dons
much for the betteIment OF Oul
