GOOD ROADS HERE.

AUDRAIN county is going to have
improved highways.
We believe that the sentiment in
favor of permanent highways is sucn
her that the loss of the initial try at a
bond issue will not discourage those
who see the necessity for such i'm
provements.
II another try at a bond issue is not
considered feasible then we have to
resort to the road district plan. There
are many who are Of the opinion that
a bond issue would carry if it were
presented differently than at first and
was more fully understood.
Audrain must maintain it's high
standard among the progressive coun-
ties in Missouri. Good roads is one
of the methods to continue toward this
goal.
There is some plan the majority can
agree upon. The method to follow is
to seek this plan and then present It
to the people before offering it to a
vote.
When it has received their endorse
ment and is being generally favored
by everyone then it can be put up for
acceptance.
Let US keep the good roads plan be-
fore US and start now to find the proper
solution.

this week Of & sixty per cent increase

BOWMAN COULD
HARDLY WALK
In A Short Time Tanlac Builds Him
Up and rheumatism
Disappears.

MY wonderful Improvement since |

a surprise to myself, but to all my

Bowman while in the Owl Drug Store
in Kansas City, Kansas, the other day.

Bowman, "You know, this medicine

BILE and nervous indigestion for me

ed, and every time any of my folks get
to feeling bad ! just put them to taking
Tanlac and they soon get Strengthened
out all right. Ny trouble was of five
years standing, and when | common
ced taking Tanlac | had reached the
point where everything | ate disagreed
with me, and ! would have the worst
sort Of cramping pains in the pit OF
my stomach after every meal. Some
times while working along l would
just get deathly sick at my stomach,
and if l didn't stop and sit down until
it passed off | would almost faint. |

had rheumatism in my knees so bad at
times | could hardly walk. | tell yon,
| was in a pretty bad fix, and nothing
seemed to do me any good.
ITO tell the truth, l had very little
faith in Tanlac doing me any good
when ! first commenced to take it, but
so many people were giving such
strong statements about it. l just
thought | would give it a trial. l soon
found out that Tanlac was different
from anything | had ever tackled, for
by the time | had taken a couple Of
bottles of it | commenced to feel a
whole lot better. My appetite came
back, and the condition of my stomach
improved 50 much that | could eat most
anything anybody else did, and | didn't
suffer afterwards. Well, | just stuck
to Tanlac until now | am a perfectly
we'll man again, and can hustle around
and do as much hard work as | ever
did. No more rheumatism or kidney
troubles, and never a sign Of indiges-
ton or stomach troubles. My nerves
are as steady as a clock, and | get
eight to ten hours good, sound sleep
every night, Now that is what Tanlac
did for me, and that is why | believe in
this medicine so strong. 1t brought me
back to health when | was about down

MANY years ago the late Rev. Dr..

list between employers and employ

of Ruth, one> Of the prcttiest Of the
many tracts which compose the sa-

the second chapter, fourth verse:
"And, behold, BoaZ came from Beth

Among other things he sad: First,
to avoid strikes. as they are not nolE
useless but expensive. Second. to
be aw-abiding citizen. If the laws
arc wrong. he can right them by the
ballot.
Third. to make his employers in
terest his own. which means, to do
his share of the work and not allow
inefficiency to hamper his own earn

Fourth, to recognize the right OF

ATTEMPTED MURDER

The quiet of the southeastern sec
ton of the rity was disturbed yes
terday afternoon by an alteration
between two negroes in rooming
house on Gibbon street. One of the
disputants carried a pistol, and he
brought the colloquy to sudden halt
by using the weapon on his adver-
sary. His victim is now at the hos
pital in a serious condition from a
wound in the shoulder.
There have been nine murders in
Alexandria city and county in less
than year, pistols being used on
each occasion. The city code con-
tains law which makes it misde-
meanor to sell toy pistols of any
description to minors, but there is
no statute which makes it an otfense
for 'shopkeepers to sell deadly weap-
ons to adults, white or colored, who
may desire such pocketpieccs.
Many negroes go armed. A pistol
is locked upon by, such outlaws as the
sine qua non of their attire. Com
plants are chronic III other cities

lowed to purchase firearms ad libi-

fare, but unless we form some such
a league for our future defense some
leader who desires military glory as
