LARRY BRUNK is ELECTED
STATE SENATOR

An error in-sending in the vote by
an assistant in the Lawrence county
clerks office, caused the announce
ment to be made that Larry Brunk, of
Aurora, had been defeated in the race
for state senator and that DR.. j. B.
Hancock had been elected. The county
clerks office sent in 2152 votes for
Mr. Brunk instead of 1862, the num-
ber which he received. The mistake
has been rectified and Mr. Brunk is
declared elected by majority of $685.
When the news was given out Sat
urday that Mr.. Brunk had been de-
feated the report was received with
incredulity, as it was thought that
there was no doubt of his election. C.

Many Monett people take theil

"a remedy that has helped thousands
of kidney sufferers. Here is Mo
nett citizens recommendation.

says: Il had heavy, steady ache
in my back and when stopped y,
turned, sharp pains would shoot
through me. | felt all tired out and
had terrible aches and pains in my
head and became nervous. Often my
eyes were affected when black spots
came before me. My kidneys acted
irregularly, but got Doan's Kidney
Pills at McKee's Drug Store and used
them. They gave me complete re-
lief" (Statement given April 5, 1850
