ONLY TWO FLAGS
FLOWN IN DOWN
TOWN DISTRICT

But two flags were visible in
Aledo's business section yesterday.
There was no evidence of patri-
otto decorations of any description
with the foregoing exceptions.
Although the business houses,
court house, city hall and post
office observed the day by formal
iy closing, all but two neglected to
raiAe the customary aags. The ex-
captions were the Alsdo State bank
and Wharton Lumber company,
over which Old Glory waved
throughout the day.
During the early morning the
writer observed one automobile
gaily decorated with small flags
and draped IN bunting. Although
city and county have flags for use
on the municipal and county build
ings, respectively, the emblems
were left in storage and dagstaffs
bare.
The omission caught the atten-
ton Of Mayor. c. A. Beers, who at
once endeavored to rectify the err
ror and hoist the flag On the city
hall. His efforts came to naught.
however, when It was discovered
that the city flag was safely locked
In the municipal vault, the COM
bination of which is unknown to
the mayor.

TALK CARLSTROM
AND CHURCH ALSO
FOR STATE HONOR

Captain Oscar E. Carlstrom and
County Judge Friend L. Church
are two additional men mentioned
as possible candidates for a seat
In the Illinois constitutional con-
vention from this senatorial dis
trict, and both are supported for
the honor by many admirers
throughout Mercer and Henderson
counties.
Neither is an avowed candidate,
nor has either been approached on
the subject. In connection with
the two delegates to be named from
this district, however, friends of
the two men have brought their
names forward.
There is little doubt but that if
either should decide to enter the
race he would prove a formidable
opponent, as both are warmly es-
poused. AS states attorney OF
Mercer county and a lawyer of re-
pute, Captain Carlstrom is well
liked and held in high esteem by
great majority. Judge Church is
also reckoned as one of Mercer
county's leading attorneys and a
man worthy of filling a post of
such Importance and weight as the
constitutional convention offers.
Mention of these two brings the
total of those tentatively suggest
ed as Mercer county's candidate to
five, Mayor c. A. Beers, City At
torney Robert L. Watson and Clyde
Carroll being the others talked Of
All are apparently well qualified
for the job, although it is consid-
cred a big one.

ALEDO FOURTH
LIKE A SUNDAY
Many People Out of City on Private
PieHics or Attending New
Windsor Celebration.

Aledo spent one of the Quieteat
Fourths In It's history yesterday.
The town presented a sabbath
like appearance. with no demon
stration except that of the crowd
which assembled during the after
noon before The Argus window to
hear returns from the champion
ship boxing bout at Toledo featur-
ing Jack Dempsey and Jess Will
lard.
The sudden termination of the
title battle dazed those who heard.
the majority of whom favored the
big champion against Dempsey.
Fishing, swimming and picnic
trips made up the schedule for q
great many Aledo families yester-
day, while q considerable number
celebrated at New Windsor and
Alexis.
There was no fireworks display
or noise producing demonstration,
either during the day or at night.
The Rock Island Southern, cog
INFANT of the fact that the Fourth
was at hand, celebrated In it's own
way by running out of power and
causing a delay Of approximately
one hour of late afternoon cars.
heavy wind arose early in the
afternoon which blew up dark storm
clouds and looked as though the
rain long hoped for by Aledoans
would be furnished. The storm
swept to the north and west Of the
city, however,A showering parched
Aledo with only the stingiest of
sprinkles.

sojourners who had spent the day
at New Windsor, all of whom
spoke highly of the big Independ-
ence day program staged there

Records were broken when the J.
s. RAIDER farm, south of Joy, was
sold to Virgil A Love for $3.50 per
acre. The tract of 100 acres
brought the tidy sum of $35, 1000.
The first transfer of the land
shows that the quarter section
which contained 80 acres of the
RAIDER farm, brought $50, while the
remaining 20 acres were disposed
of for $3.50. Mr.. RAIDER purchased
the tract from Amos Kiddoo in
1892 for $50 an acre, a total price
of $4,000. Since that time it is
shown that the land increased in
value over 800 per cent

HENRY NOW ENJOYS
PERFECT HEALTH.
Ferrolax Quickly OyercOmes His
TrOubles-Feels Fine all the
Time.

One of the noteworthy features in
connection with FerrolaX, and the one
that stands out more prominently
than any other is the large number
of men and women from different
parts of the south who have recent
ly reported astonishing results from
its use.
One of the most recent to testify to
the good results obtained from us
ing Ferrolax, is Mr.. C. d. Henry, who
lives at 269 Lake Ave, Atlanta, Ga.
While in conversation with a Ferro-
lax representative few days ago.
Mr.. Henry said:
For several years l have been SUI
fering with indigestion and and stom-
ach trouble. Not being able TO set the
substantial food l needed TO keep me
going, | became badly rundown. l
felt tired and worn out all the time,
and my blood was not as healthy
it should be.
After taking many other medicines
without relief, commenced taklns
Ferrolax, and just want to say right
here that before l had finished M!
first bottle of this medicine l knew
that l had struck the right thing al
last.
Well, to make long story short,
Ferrolax fixed me up all right ana
am now enjoying the best of health
I am free from indigestion and stom
ach troubles, and never suffered !;
particle from constipation. l have
plenty of good, rich, red blood in my
veins now and just feel fine all the
time. l gladly recommend FerrolaX
to everybody.
Ferrolax is sold by Evans Phar-
macy, Dillon and Smiths Drug Co.

today. Take it according to directions
and if it does not do you the go'
you want done come in and get you
money back. Your bare word is g"
enough for us. Watch for the next Is
