Who is there that has been relieved
of the pangs of illness by Pepgen that
would not tell his suffering neighbor?
If you were one of those who had been
relieved, would you keep it a secret?
Pepgen's best friends are those who
have used it. They are men and wo-
men who consider it their duty, duty
they dare not shirk, to tell others of
Pepgen.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. thompson: I am % years
old and have been married four years.
We lived happily for a while, and then
my husband started to make excuses
to go out alone. Soon found that he
was drinking. On several different &C.
casions he promised to stop it, but he
never kept his promises.
Now he nags me so that l can't
stand 1T and he is cross to the baby.
He spends money faster than he can
make it and gets credit wherever they
will give it to him. Even when he
gets up in the morning he is cross and
he growls until he goes to work.
I left him and while I was away he
couldn't earn enough for himself.
! When l went back he didn't have any
thing except some bills to pay. He is
| in debt all the time.
Please be so good as to help my
baby and me. Should l leave him or
not? I am a nervous wreck. If dom
do something shall die. He tells me
if don't like it to go.
| BROKEN HEARTED.
1t is hopeless to try to live with such
q man. Without a doubt you can get
along better If you leave him and find
work to support yourself and child In
any Of the large cities you would find
no difficulty in securing housework
where you could keep your child with
you.
When you are given your divorce
you will probably be allotted alimony
too. 1t is question, however, wheth
er you can collect it.
| I believe it is harmful to a child tc
be brought up in a home which is
made as inharmonious as your hus
hand makes yours. Your. child will be
happier away from it's father

has been filed for record in the
Chancery clerks Office Of Rankin
county. The document bequeaths
to Mr.. and Mrs. @. e. Martin, of
Brandon, all of the deceased real
and personal property in Rankin
county which consists Of half in

few, miles south Of town, and q
great number of live stock. To M.

sufficient funds are behind it to

E. N. Ross, of Pelahatchie, vice
president, and H. H. Fox, of
Louisville, Miss, cashier. The

the bank, a gentleman of the high
est type, an experienced banker,
and a man with whom it will be a
pleasure to- do business. The new
bank has capital stock of $15,-
600 with $4,000 surplus. Depos-
it's are being received in a very
gratifying manner, and by the
time the first statement is pub
lished, the new bank will probably
be carrying as much, if not more,
deposits than the old bank This
bank will prove a great conven-
fence to the people of that section,
and will no doubt prove a good in
vestment to the stockholders.
