Descendants of

Get Rid of Them With Ely.
 Rid"

Did you ever see fly on the wall?
 Yes, and she looks quite innocent up there.
 Did you ever see her on the. lid of babys nursing bottle. or sucking a sore on baby's mouth?
 That is quite different. because that fly carries disease germs. It may be typhoid, it may be tuberculosis 1t may be nfantile paralysis.
 How about the wisdom of using Fly Rid' and thus killing off the flies that are beginning to appear?
 Rather advisable to use "Fly-Rid'' and kill the mother fly now. is it not? !? If it is, get Ely Rid" at any drug or grocery store and go to it. Remember tion of an increment of $50. 900. 900 of others in sixty days. .'Fly-Rid" is death Also Rat-Rid, Bedbug-R Rid. Ant-Rid Flea-Rid. Roach -Rid.-Adv.

Another golden vote offer for can didates in The -Herald's great au- tomobile and prize campaign!
 Two hundresd dollars in two gold prizes of s100 each and SO,0oo extra votes for $50 clubs. It is the supreme offer of the campaign, the one prg chance of making victory certain. The great offer opens tomorrow and con tinues until Thursday. July 25, p. m. Until that time every club of $50 worth of subscription payments counts S0,O0O extra votes over and above all regular votes And every dollar in new sub scription payments applies toward win ming one of the gold prizes.
 IS REAL SENSATION
 The gold will be given to the candf- date in the city division, and the can didate in the country division, turning g in the largest sums in new subscription payments during the period or the or fer. It is an offer which. no doupt' will prove the real sensation or the campaign, as it closes only seven days before the campaign itself ends. Just three weeks from today the last ballots will be cast, and the most momentous campaign in the history of the south will be a pleasant memory. Ten con- testants will have motor cars. others will have diamond rings, and stlli others will have valuable watches, re- wards for their efforts. You can be in the motor car class if you take ad- vantage of the great offer which starts tomorrow. Candidates should not oVer- look the importance of getting in all the clubs they can before that date, as the votes obtained on this the final club offer, may decide the winners Of the automobiles.
 It is expected the offer will set the entire field in turmoil of excitement. Furthermore, candidats almost without exception have declared that they were unable to accomplish all they desired on the club and gold offer which closed last week. Now they can go and get the subscriptions they didn't nave time to get then and apply them on tha new offer.
