good and can highly recommend
them for kidney troubles. A cold set
tied in my kidneys weakening them
and caused me great deal of trou-
ble.,, My back panied with dull,
heavy ache al 1.-The time. One box Of
Doane's Kidney Pills from Doty &
Peterson's drug store entirely re-
moved the trouble and I have had no
return of it SINCE"
On December 9, 1919, Mrs. Mande-
vile says: II haven't had to use
a kidney remedy for long time, as
! have had no return Of kidney trou

people have reasons for not organic

I'd be ashamed to be an officer of

have to call on the federal officers to
put down the wildcat business. The
duties of deputy marshal are the
same as the sheriffs of county and
a magistrate can try a liquor case
the same as revenue commissioner

is the matter when country is full
OF officers and violations are tolerat-
ed by them? Have they lost their
self respect and are willing to sur
render to Federal and State agents
and give up their rights and priv
lleges. The State has not been de-
prlved of single right. | am told
it is her officers that has surrendered
her rights and become delinquent.
We want officers that will uphold
the honor and integrity of their
county and enforce the laws. If
they don't do it they ought to be
impeached and put away the shame
and disgrace that hangs over the
people from the acts and conduct of
few, and tolerated by a lot of de.
linquent and Indifferent officers,
People are All right but helpless to
protect themselves without govern

for sheriff to tolerate and allow the
state and federal laws set at naught

TRUCK DRIVER PLAYS
VERY FOOLISH TRICK

| A driver of a truck, said to be
the property of C. Baumgartner,
of So. Pittsburg, by foolhardi-
ness was the cause whereby
Walter Dugan was badly hurt
Saturday afternoon at Jasper.
Dugan had got on the truck
near here to ride to town, get
ting on top the coal with which
the truck was loaded. Instead
of slowing down or stopping to
let him off the driver speeded the
machine up until it was running
very rapidly around the corner
near the Pryor Garage. Dugan
who is country lad, and unso-
phisticated in the wiles of city
sports, thought he was trying
to take him on to So. Pittsburg,
and tried to get him to stop.
The machine speeded up faster,
and Dugan rolled off. Specta-
tors say he bounced up a foot and
a half from the hard road when
he struck it. No bones were
broken, but he was removed to
the home of DR.. Songer where
his injuries were dressed and
tied up, as he was badly bruised
and scratched. The driver of
the truck kept on after Dugan
fell off, not stopping to see if he
had injured him. The affair was
witnessed by large number Of
people, who expressed great i1l-
dignation over the matter, and a
suit will probably follow for dam
ages.
1t was a very foolish trick to
play on the boy, and motor car
drivers who allow people to ride
their machines are certainly re-
sponsibIe in a measure, at least,
for their safety. Dugan is the
son of W. T. Dugan, of this
place.

LET EVERYBODY ATTEND
THE TENN. STATE FAIR

The One Big Event, the Ten
nessee State Fair, comes at the
right season of the year for the
farmers and their families to at
tend. The dates are September
20, 81, %, %, "a, rs, 1920.
Railroads have granted reduced
rates on account of the big fair.
No advance in admissions. 1t
is still $40 show for so cents.
No farmer in the State should
miss this big educational
institution. He should bring
every member of his family. 1t
is worth it. More to see and
more to enjoy then at any form
of entertainment. Who is it that
would not 60 miles to see Lieut..
Omer Locklear and his flying
circus? They go from plane to
plane in mid air. They do every
kind of performance running at
a rate of 100 miles an hour that
is done by trapeze performers
and tight rope walkers. This is
a thriller in itself. Other free
circus acts embrace the best that
could be secured. No circus that
comes to town has any better acts
than these witnessed at the Ten
nessee State Fair. Not only do
you see circus acts but you witness
the best fair in all details held in
the South. Jones Exposition, the
largest show in the South, will
pitch their tents on the State Fair
Grounds and have their show open
throughout the week. day and
night.
1t is your fair and should take
enough interest in it to come and
bring your entire family. Write

show. Remember it is the One
