RumbIings Round
Rural Hill

Miss Matte 0dum is quite sick at
our home, hope she win soon be up
again.
Rlr. c. 0. Shackelford, Of ut. YER
non and her son, James, Of the A. &
NJ. College, were visiting Rural Hill
last week.
Our community was somewhat ex-
cited on finding where someone had
the misfortune of getting their car
partly burned a few days ago and it
seems as though they tried to cover
up their tracks, but after some in
vestigation it was decided that the
car caught fire from the camp fire,
while they were asleep.
These days we see lots j pa
per's about woman suffrage. have
been somewhat opposed TO TIL thing
all along and here of late we are
more inclined than ever TO oppose
this movement. We have had the
idea that the hand that rocked the
cradle ruled the destiny of the nations
Of the earth. And this woman's suf-
irage seems to be putting some ideas
in the heads Of our good women
and for one do not approve, but |
do not know that every one IS having
the same experience that am or not.
Mrs. Ruralite has the idea Of late
that she beat me as manager Of the
Ruralite farm and after some CON
vincing arguments with rolling pins
and few other kitchen articles, !
was kindly persuaded to let her have
her try. So we made trade and
! will confess that she is getting on
fine and think she will do better as
soon as | get over the rolling pin ar
gument enough to take on my part
fully. The first day she had us put
up an ash hopper and drip I've and
make a pot of home made soap, this
took us far into the night. We thought
the moon was not right, but Mrs.
Ruralite did not seem to take to the
moon idea and went on with the
soap making and we made the soap
too. The next day she Had us to put
the back and jambs to all our fire
places and plaster up the ianbs
five In number. We got through the
job and must admit things look bet
ter and If we can hold out to do the
work as she plans, things will look
better even if we do not make any
money. She has her mind on the
garden, barn and the tenant houses
She has me getting ont boards to dc
some repairs and other things anC
made me work all day Satur-
day, and you did not see me standing
around on the corners in Columbus
last Saturday, and says that this mus
stop. So if You see poor old "heT
peeked" man standing ON the corner
you may know who it is. But
think our good women should register

and get ready to vote and make good
use Of these opportunities, as we be
lieve the right of suffrage is most
sacred duty Of every law-abiding
and patriotic citizen.
The other day while in Columbus
We met our old comrade Of the Span
ish-American war, r. G. Bluell and
got after him to tell us few, but
Tom said he had joined the church
and only told good ones, such as Sun
day school stories, but if we are tc

Of anyone dying with the blues while

Intermingled with the hundreds
of statements given daily in behalf
of Trutona. there is always to be
found the Endorsement of some
prominent person who, realizing
that they have never before taken
such a meritorious preparation,
break down the bars of precedent
and publicly praise this celebrated
medicine.

Released from the close confine-

Dempsey is happy in this liberia

important battle of his career. He
revealed his happy, carefree state

the front porch OF his house and
for more than two hours took part
in a conversation that included a
variety Of subjects. While a driv-

laughed heartily and joked with a
smaller circle of friends, frequently

might be within range.

utmost care should be exercised in
the selection of medicine. When
you take TrutOna you are using 4
preparation of absolutely proven
inertia medicine that has. taken
its place among the few universally
accepted meritorious preparations
because of it's remarkable effective
ness in correcting kidney derange-
ments, responsible for back pains
and dizziness; because of its heal
ing, soothing and regulating effect
on the bowels, to say nothing of this
famous tonic's thoroughness in
overcoming tributary ills Of the
stomach, such as heartburn, belch-
ing, bloating. and finally, its quiet
ing, yet Strengthening effect on the
nerves. The Gandelion extracts in
Trutona quickly arouse a sluggish
liver and drive away that tired,
anaemic, draggy feeling which ham

tona in Rock Island still prevails.
