The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1921-06-03

We are now passing through the
only period in the history of the old
town of Lexington and the compar-
atively new town of Widersville, in
which the old town has ever been
consumed with envy to the new town.
Wild srsyiIle lost its railroad depot by
fire, while Lexington still sets wait
ing and wishing for such stroke of
good FORTUNE. On one occasion we
had a rare chance to be rid of our pest
and rat hole, officially designated as
depot or station house, and they
tell US that the very man who had
most profusely and properly 'cuss-
ed out" the disreputable structure,
actually put out the fire which would
have converted the building into a
much desired hand full of ashes. But
such is luck.

The Home Of the Soul.

In olden times. it was believed that
the seat Of the soul was the stomach.
most likely for the reason that mar
is never so completely used up as when
his stomach is out of order. For the
cure of ordinary stomach troubles,
there is nothing quite so prompt and
satisfactory as Chamberlain's Tab
lets. They strengthen the stomach and
enable it to perform its functions
naturally. Give them a trial. They
only cost quarter. All Druggists.

As shown in speech last Sunday,
the occasion being memorial Day, in
the historic Episcopal church in Po
nick. Virginia, of which George
Washington was once vestryman,
President Harding does not seem to
be in agreement with his Honorable
ambassador to England, George Har-
vey. In recent speech Harvey
stated in substance that the United
States went into the world war to
save is own hide" but President
Harding said last Sunday that Ameri-
cans, from North to South I'm
sheathed the sword in behalf of suf-
fering humanity and were brought
into supreme effort to save the civ
ilization of the world" The history
of George Harvey up to date is this;
He was bodily kicked out under Will
son and by Wilson and has already
made an ass Of himself under Hard
ing.

Why Suffer From Rheumatism!

Do you know that nine out Of ev-
erv ten cases Of rheumatism are simp-
IL rheumatism of the muscles or
chronic rheumatism. neither of which
require any internal treatment? The
pain may be relieved by applying
Chamberlain's liniment, which makes
sleep and rest possible, and that GER
tainly means a great deal to any one
afflicted with rheumatism. All drug
gists.
