How come certain county : commissioners are determin ed jtooverride the wishes of the1 people in regard to the construction of a granite court house that is not need ed and could not possibly be much if . any improvement on the present building? Why do they want to build it out of granite? Granite is good building material all right and county contracts, es pecially where they pay two dollars for one, are worth seeking. If the "people want to take charge of and control their affair, see that every capable . man is given his right to serve on the jury, a right to sell sound meat, milk, etc, with out begging for the privilege, a right to say whether or not a new court house is to be built, the right to keep a dog on his own premises without . being, exorbtantly taxed, the right to hold an election for farmlife Schools, the right to , recall men who spend two dollars of the county's money . when a bona-fide contract is offered to do the same work for one dollar, and the right to have the chain gang work public roads when needed and where needed, and put men in office who will enforce ALL the laws of the land, they must be getting together and that quickly.

SEVEN YEARS . -ur iJidciii How Mrs. Bethune waa Re stored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- J ; ble Compound. ' ' Sikeston. Mo. '.'For seven years I suffered everything. I was in bed for four or five days at a time every month, and so weak I could hardly walk. " I had cramps, backache and headache, and was so nervous and weak that I dreaded to see anyone or have anyone move in the. room. The doc tors gave me medi cine to ease me at those times,: and said that I ought to have an operation. I would not listen to that, and when a friend of my husband's told him about Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound and what it had done rfor his wife, I Was willing to take it. Now I look the picture of health and feel like it, too. I can do all my own house work, work in the garden and entertain company and enjoy them, and can walk as far as any ordinary woman, any day in the week. I wish I could talk to every suffering woman and girl, and tell them what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has. done for me." Mrs. Dema Bethune, Sikeston, Mo. Remember, the remedy which did this was Lydia E. finkoams vegetaoia Compound. It has helped thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irreg ularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling,, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means have failed.
