10 starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency well the organic phosphate known among dru ggis1s bitro phosphate, which is sold by Clark & Brainerd ill New Britain and most all druggists under 8 guarantee of EatisGaction or money back. By feeding t~e nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphorc food clements, bitro- phosphate should pro 1uce a welcome transformation in the ap- pearance; the increase in weight fre- luently being astonishing.
 Increase in weight also carries with 1t general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy. which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, should soon disappear dull eyes ought to brighten. and pale checks aglow with the bloom of perfect health. Miss Georgia Hamilton, who was once thin and fraH reporting her own ex- 2erience, writes: 'Bitro Phosphate has brought about magic transformation with me.

with the people of the county to
give the endorsement of a second
term to officials that have made
good. Mr.. Cox invites the voters 10
a careful scrutiny of his record i'm
the State Senate and would ask, if
they find his record meritorious.
that they would give him their sup
port in the coming primary.
Mr.. Cox's record in the State Sen
ate is identified with the best legis-

sessions. His experience as mem
Der of the senate has qualified him
to better discharge legislative duties
in the future than in the past. He
is qualified, by reason of this ex-

Mr.. Cox will meet the voters be-
fore the election and give them an
account of his stewardship. At the
same time, he will announce his
position upon the leading legislative

people select Mr.. Cox for another
term, they would have a man who

w. b. Watkins Announces for the
Legislature,

Mr.. w. B. Watkins has author
lied the Weekly to say that he is a
candidate for seat in the lower
house of the next legislature from
Monroe county. Mr.. Watkins is an
experienced man of business and
was graduated in a course of law
the two things that qualify one most
for the enactment of wise legisla-
ton. The next session of Missis-
sippi's legislature promises to be
the most important one that has
assembled since the constitutional
convention of 1890. Laws must be
enacted or revised to meet the re-
tions which are even now becoming
evident among the people of the
state. 1t will require wise heads,
experienced minds and true hearts
to shape this legislation so as to
reap the maximum benefits that will
come to Mississippi.
The fullest measure of prosperity
to agricultural people is promised
during this after the war epoch. 1t
will require judgment, wisdom and
business experience on the part OF
lawmakers to enact legislation adj
equate to take care of these new
conditions.
Mr.. Watkins was born and reared
in Monroe county and possesses
these requisites in a very high de-
gree. He has extensive farming in
terests in the county and knows
what things are needed to advance
the agricultural interests of our
state-and is exceptionally quail
fed to cope with the problems that
will be presented at the next as
semblIng of the legislature. All
over the state the call has been is-
sued that each county send its most
experienced and capable men as
representatives so that the state laws
may be adjusted to meet the
changed conditions that will be
brought about by the ending of the
war. Mr.. Watkins purposes to meet
the people before the primary and
discuss freely with them the legis-
lation that he deems needed to adj
vance the development OF this state

-
Mr.. J. A. Mayfield, as well and
as favorably known. perhaps, as any
other man in the county. has de-
cided to offer for a seat in the lower
house of the legislature from Mon
roe county. Mr.. Mayfield is expe-
rienced in business and promi-
nent citizen of Amory whose inter
ests are closely allied with. and
whose efforts have always been de-
voted to the progress, development
and prosperity of the people of his
home county and state. In an
nouncing his candidacy. Mr.. May
field has responded to the urgent
solicitation of friends and the call
of the general public for capable,
trained men to offer for representa-
tives, SO that reconstruction or re-
vision of state laws may be made to
promote and harmonic with the
epoch which the world war has
brought. or will surely bring to every
commonwealth in the country.
He is thoroughly competent by
training, experience and education
to meet the requirements, of the re-
constructed world idea that will
necessarily mpel consistent
changes in some laws that govern
even pure democracy like Missis-
sippi. Mr.. Mayfield. in offering to
represent the people of Monroe
county. would have us to say that
he desires the honor for the good
that he wants to accomplish for his
people and State by using his best
endeayors towards the enactment
of wise. sane and prudent laws.
He means to see as many people as
he can between this and the pri-
mary and discuss these matters
with them. In the meantime he
asks the voters to give his candi-
dacy careful consideration.
