Ed. Record:
I desire space in your valuable
paper to call the attention of the
voters of Chatham to the very
satisfactory administration of the
county's affairs under our present
county officers, and I venture the
assertion that our good "old coun
ty is in verv good shape financial-
In regard to increase in taxa
tion, will just say that my taxes
were not as large last year as for
merly. Then where the increase?
Of course we may expect this
from the opposition, yes this and
more, but facts have to be admit
ted, and truth will not down. Mr.
Editor lam proud of our county
officers. They are men that would
be hard to equal and next to im
possible to excel. I for one wish
to add my full endoi'sement to
Messrs. Brooks, Milliken, Griffin,
and to each and every one from
coroner on, and will now suggest
that we nominate them to succeed
themselves by acclamation in our
next Democratic county conven
tion, which will be nothing more
than each one of them so richly
deserves. Respectfully,
'Oakland."

Triumph of Modern Surgery.
Wonderful things are done lor
the human body bv surgery. Or-
fans are taken out . and scraped
and ponsned and put oacK, or
they may be removed entirely:
"ones are spliced; pipes take tne
place ol diseased sections of veins;
antiseptic dressings are applied
to wounds, bruises,. - burns and
like injuries before inflamation
sets in, which causes them to heal
without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain
Balm acts on this same principle.
It is an antiseptic and when ap
plied to such injuries causes them
to heal very quickly. It also al
lays the pain and soreness. Keep
a bottle of Pain Balm in your
home and it will save you time
and monejT, not to mention the.'
inconvenience and suffering which
