MONEY IS SOUGHT
FOR DECORATIONS
Lions Club Members Call on
Merchants for Christ
mas Project

Members of the Henderson Lions
Club worked among business men to-
day for funds to underwrite the deco
ration of the business section of the
city for the holiday shopping season.
The club voted last Wednesday night
to sponsor the campaign, and it's COM
mittees will supervise the placing of
the decorations.
Some $500 will be sought for the
purpose, and this will take care of the
cost of erecting and later taking down
the electrical equipment and purchase
of great quantities of leaves to make
streamers and wreaths to line the
streets along the sidewalks. Merch-
ants will be asked to place miniature
Christmas trees in front of their. es-
adjustments.
Considerable sentiment, too, has de-
veloped in favor of erecting a huge
lighted Christmas ire within the tri-
angle of the approach of the under
pass from Garnet street, which would
be thanked on one side by the Sea-
board Air Line railroad tracks, and in
plain view of through passenger
trains, and on the other by Garrett
street, which is the national highway
passing through the city.
Plans now are to start putting up
the decorations next Monday if the
funds are subscribed by that time. 1t
was hoped the entire amount could be
had today and tomorrow.

Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On

No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your cough, chest cold, or
bronchial irritation, you can get relief
now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble
may be brewing and you cannot afford
to take chance with any remedy less
potent than CreomulSion, which goes
right to the seat of the trouble and aids
nature to soothe and heal the infamed
mucous membranes and to loosen and
expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomulsion.
Your druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not thoroughly
satisfied with the benefits obtained
from the very first bottle. Creomulsion is
one word-not two, and it has no hyphen
in it. Ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is CreomulSion, and
you'll get the genuine product and the
relief you want. (Adv.)
