Sept. 4th, at 6 o'clock there was a
quiet marriage at the home of Mr,

witness the marriage. The bride Is
a most popular young lady and Is
the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. N. Hicks. The groom Is the son of
Mr. S. A. Green, of Vance. We wish
Mr. and Mrs. Green all the joy that
life can bring.

Disquisition By Paris Newspapers On
"Roosevaldt and Perkor."
The following from the Newark (N.
J.) Evening News Is supposed to be
taken from the columns of the Paris
Pictorial, and while we have grave
doubts as to its ever having graced
the pages of the French paper, yet it
deals out doses of the ridiculous with
such Impartiality that we lve It
space. And yet, ludicrous as" the
statements are, they are not much
wider of the mark 'than those of the
average French newspaper In treat
ing of American affairs:
"The struggle between President
Roosevaldt and Judge Perkor Is one
of individualities. A man cannot
amount to much In the United States
of America unless he has marked In
dividuality. James M. Blaln was
elected to the highest office In the
land because he drank more rum at
one sitting than any other man In
the country. Grover Cleveland was
chosen President for having caught
the largest fishes ever seen on the
Pennsylvania coast.
"Each of the two candidates now
confronting has some slmlllar attain
ment to offer to his countrymen as
justification for his election. Presi
dent Roosevelt places his hope in the
fact that he has the most numerous
family In the land, he being the head
of the Mormon religion and proprie
tor of 10 households, counting Its
children by the score. His summer
residence at Oyster Bay is the popu
lous home In Ohio, as many as 90
plates being laid at a table dally.
"Judge Perkor. on the other hand,
has endured himself to his fellow-cit
izens through his skill in swimming.
He once threw a dollar across tne
Potomac near his home In Esopus,
and plunging Into theturblds tream,
he swam to the other siae so rapiuiy
that climbing out on the bank.he was
able to catch the dollar as It decend
ed from its airy flight. Judge Perkor
has been known to stay underwater
three weeks without uttering a syl
lable. Ills aquatic feats are heralded
broadcast over the land and great
crowds flock to Bee his dally exhibi
tion of sensational diving in which
he has no peer,"

I consider Wine of Cardui superior
to any doctor's medicine I ever used
and I know whereof I speak. I suf
fered for nine months witn suppressed
menstruation which completely pros
trated me. Pains would shoot through
my back and sides and I would have
blinding headaches. My limbs would
swell up and I would feel so weak I
could not stand up. I naturally folt
tliacourag-ed for I seemed to be beyond
the help of physicians, but Wine of
Cardui came as a Ood-send to me. I
felt a ciia,uge for the better within a
week. After nineteen days treatment
I menstruated without suffering the
agonies I usually did and soon became
regular and without pain. Wine of
Cardui is simply wonderful and I wish
that all suffering women knew of its
good qualities.
