Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
Of this place, writes: II am user
Of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
1t was one Of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when I
was a child. When any Of us child
rem complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
dose of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, We would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg.
ular until the liver acted we'll, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without It,
for 1t certainly has saved us lots of
doctor bills. Just a dose of Black.
Draught when not 30 well saves a
lot Of days in bed"
Thedford's Blacll-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treat
ment Of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which It
now 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 Black-Draught has been
found valuable remedy for these
troubles. 1t is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to It's proper
functions and cleansing the bowels of
impurities. Try H.. Insist on Thed.

JohnSon'S Bull IA True Story

Neighbor johnson and | had
some spirited discussions about
what kind of a bull to buy.
johnson thought the grade was
too expensive in the end and de-
cided on getting fine Shorthorn
with pedigree too long to be of
service to a mere bull. | con-
cluded that the grade was good
enough and cost enough money,
too, so put in a grade Shorthorn
that | picked up. He had regis
tered cattle and could speak from
experience. The man was rich,
and | thought he was kidding"
me, so | Bought the grade.
My young bull looked better
than Johnson's, and | gloated
over the difference in cash spent.
| think johnson was somewhat
disheartened, though he kept
grinning and bearing his dis
appointment. A couple of
months later / thought of John.
son and | decided to drive over
and encourage him over his pur-
chase. | arrived at Johnson's
about noon, and we discussed
bulls until dinner; then after din.
ner was over we went out to the
lot to take a peep at the pure
bred. He was twice as large as
mine and as perfect a specimen
of bulldom as had ever been my
pleasure to see. Johnson, with
a twinkle in his eye, apologized
for his not being as large as he
ought for his age.
Since that visitI have bought
a registered Holstein bull and
am knee-deep in the dairy cattle
business. No more scrubs for
me! My grades sold for $40 each,
while johnson was selling calves
the same age for $3.50. The diff
ference between $40 and $3.50 is
a good eye-opener. M. H. X. in

Dear Mr.. Whit
We presume that you have re-

We believe that we will be able
to pay the counties the sixth in
stalment in about ten days or
two weeks. We fear, however,
it will be July l before the sew.
enth inStalment can be paid. We
are very sorry that the teachers
have been subjected to such great
delays in the payment of their
salaries, but we are very mu;h
pleased to inform you that the
Legislature, which adjourned
day before yesterday, passed a
bill providing that when there is
not a sufficient amount in the
School Fpnd to pax-the- teachers,
terest-bearing warrants shall
be issued. This will not apply to
the two remaining payments for
the current Year, however. 1t
assures us, however, that the de-
lays will not be experienced next
year.
Yours very truly,

BLAZE.

We are having fine weather and the
farmers are taking advantage of it to
push farm work. All patriotic peo-
pie, both men and women, seem to be
trying to do their bit. But, to their
shame, we have some, as 'Gumption'
so appropriately calls them, peanut
precinct politicians" in this vicinity.
When | think of the present world
crisis and of our God-blessed, brave
boys, the flower of American youth,
who have left fathers, mothers, Sis
ters, brothers, sweethearts and home
to cross the Atlantic, perhaps never
to return, to offer themselves on the
altar of freedom, and then to think
that we have men in our midst who
are pro- German and 60 about contin-
ually voicing such disloyal sentiments
as: swell, it will take long time
to whip Germany "Hindenburg is
the best general in the world" "The
Germans are the smartest people in
the world, and if it were not for them
the United States could not prosper.
One old fellow has been heard to say
by more than half dozen men that il
he had to go to war the first thing he
would do would be to 'take pop al
old Woodrow Wilson," And when
they hear of battle they never tell
it as it appears in the papers, but ii
anything favorable to Germany ap-
pears you can see in their counte-
nances that they are pleased, and they
say, "If they whip Germany they will
do something that never has been
done.'
Now, Mr.. Editor, what ought to be
done with such damnable men? Ano
the country is full of them. The last
one of them ought to be sent to the
penitentiary until after the war, and
the officials ought to see so it. The
evidence is easy to get. If something
is not done to stop their treasonable
talk it will impede the war prepara-
tions. Why, they go around mutter-
ing that sold Woodrow Wilson is en-.
shaving them just as fast as he can
and is going to starve us to DEATH"
When you hear one talking that
way it is just as Gumption says, he is
a traitor in his heart.
To hell with all men who are il
sympathy with Germany and against
our soldier boys who are so gallantly
sacrificing everything dear to then
for freedom and humanity! And LEI
it be said of those who fall in battle:
go tell my relatives and friends
where / did dwell,
That the flag of my country now
waves where fell"

ing at any drug store for a bottle
OF "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
tion of other ingredients. which can
be depended upon to restore nat
ural color and beauty to the hair.
