prise in store for the many
friends in this town of Miss
Elizabeth McDowell when she
wired her sister, Mrs. E. M.
Gayle, Wednesday afternoon
that she and Mr. Alex Aberne
thy, of Hickory had just been
married at Dysartsville, in Mc-
Dowell County. It was a gretna
green affair and none of the
brides relatives or friends knew
that she contemplated taking
this «tep until notified by her,
as above stated. They are now
at home in Hickory, and a large
circle of friends join the Messen
ger in wishing for them an
abundance of happiness. Miss
McDowell was a prime favorite
in Morganton and numbers her
friends by the score.

FRAIL, SICKLY CHILD
Restored to Health by Vinol—
Letter to Mothers.
Anxious mothers often wonder why
their children are so pale, thin and
nervous and have so little appetite.
For the benefit of such mothors in
this vicinity we publish the following
letter.
J. Edmund Miller, New Haven,
Conn., says: "My little daughter, ever
since her birth, had been frail and
sickly, and was a constant source of
worriment. Several months ago we
commenced to give her Yinol. I im
mediately noted an improvemtnt In
her health and appearance. I gave
her three bottles of Vinol, and from
the good it has done her I can truly
say it will do all you claim."
This child's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from cods' livers,
—combined with the blood-making
and strength-creating properties of
tonic iron, which are contain 3d in
Vinol.
Vinol will build up and strergthen
delicate children, old people ard the
weak, run-down and debilitated. We
return the money in every case vherc
It fails.
