Mt. Eliam. May 27-We are
having1 some rains that are doing
rnuch Kood. Crops are looking
(fine. Though old winter was a
faithful friend who never left us
till the comet changed its course
in a direction from the earth, our
rteonle never shed a tear when
they bid it farewell.
The next big thing will be the
mrimarv election. I don't know
v.-ho wiir'out-run"in the race fei
Congressman, but I am persuad
ed to believe if any ot our can
didates leave Maj. Sandy Mc
Kinnon they'll have to call on
"dad." Hurray for Sandy!
Don't suppose it's any use to
say anything in favor of Mr. M.
G. Mckenzie for treasurer, for
everybody knows when you get
the best horse there is it's no use
to trade, and when we get the
best man for treasurer (and we
have got him) it's no use to make
any change.
Mr. and Mrs. Babe Moore and
child, Lina, of Lumberton, spent
Sunday near here. Mr. Nolon
Stone and family spent Sunday
here. Mrs. Mollie Britt, of
Bloomingdale, spent Sunday
with Mrs. I. V. Britt.
One of our citizens started to
carry some chickens toBoardman
one day recently and one got out
of the box before he got toBoard
man and "lit the rag." Well,
that man looked like chickens
was two dollars each by the
wholesale. Mr. Leonard Britt,
the runningest man in town, hap
pened to be along and by the
help of a wire fence caught "Pol
ly." Mr. I. V. Britt is tickled al
most to death: it's another boy.
Sorry to report the illness of
Mr. C. M. Britt's child.
The prayermeeting is growing.
Everybody is requested to be
present every Wednesday night.
The prayermeeting which is held
at Mr. Joe Britt's every Sunday
and Tuesday night is doing great
good all through this country.
Old people say they never have
seen such aprayermeeting.There
were more than 300 people pres
ent Sunday night. Many souls
are being saved. Thirteen pro
fessed Tuesday night. May
the good work continue .

are requested to meet at 4 o'clock

expected to speak on the subject
of missions and the Laymen's
Movement.
There was a man in these parts
one day recently holding down a
low job: he was throwing out

Mr. W. 0. Britt's store at Or-
rum was ournea this morning
about daybreak. Don't know
the cause or origin of the fire
When I opened my mail box
yesterday I found a squirre
which Uncle Sam had brought.
Did you ever get a squirre
through the mail?
Boardman is afflicted, or a par
of it, with smallpox; and a mill
town is a fine place for smallpox
to take its course.
It looks like the meat eaters
will have to have their wages
raised. Pa sold some today for
20 cents per pound? It's a big
thing for a man who has it to
sell but a bigger thing for one
who has to buv. It's eettin?
high time to live at home.
The Children's Day exercises
will be held the second Sunday

I cons'der Cardui the best
medicine for girls and
women. It makes them
feel like new persons, re
lieves their pain and reg
ulates womanly troubles.
"Both my daughter and I
received great benefit."
The Woman's Tonic
As a medicine for fe
male trouble, no medi
cine you can get has the
old established reputation,
that Cardui has.
Fifty (50) years of suc
cess prove that it has
stood the greatest of all
tests the test of TIME.
As a tonic for weak wo
men, Cardui is the best, be
cause it is a woman's tonic.
" Pure, gentle, safe, re
liable. Try Cardui.
