A Sure Remedy
For Lazy Liver.
ho to Marshall Pharmacy for
this Safe, Reliable Remedy
' and Oet Tour Money
Back if It Falls '
There are very few remedies
that gain the confidence ot drug;
gists as Dodson's Liver Tone
does. Marshall Pharmacy sells
it and backs up the sale of every
bottle with the ' money back
guarantee that the price will be
refunded if it fails to give com
plete satisfaction.
Dodson's Liver Tone costs 50
cents a bottle. It is the safest
and best remedy for torpid liter,
constipation, biliousness, etc.,
that has ever been sold in this
city. It takes the place of dan-
crerous calomel and does 'not lay
c .
you up as a dose of calomel often
does. A bottle in the bouse is
as good as fifty cents in the
bank. If you or your family
need a liver tonic you have the
medicine ready. If it fails you
get your money back. . :
Be sure you get Dodson's mv-
er-Tone when you ask for it.
There are imitations of it that
may disappoint you.
Young Women; Number Surprising
The number of young women who
suffer with weak back, dizzy and ner
vous spells, dull headaches and weari
ness is surprising i. Kidney and blad
der ills cause These troubles,' but if
Foley Kidney Pills are taken as di
rected relief follows promptly, ana
the ills disappear; Contains no habit
forming drugs.-Dr. 1. J!.. Burnett,

THE PRINCET OF PEACE.
;'i:It is now almost nineteen hundred fourteen years since the
. shepherds'kept watch 6ver their flocks ori' the" quiet Judean Hills.
As they watched and slept there under the clear blue dome oi
heaven little did they dream of the "Bethlehem King who ' came
that night into the world that knew Him not.
. . How quietly; how peacefully they slumbered and watched.
How sweet the air, liow bright the stars. "And lo, the an(;el of the
Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about
them; and they wera sore afraid. And the angel said unto them,
Fear not; for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which
Shalt be to all people,'' How good the tidings; how gruat the joyi
Tidings and joy to alljnen! .Not to a class, not to a nation, not to
a race, limited nottoVfew.'nor yet to friends, but so far flung that
not even an enemy could travel beyond the boundless limits.
Sudddenly His star appears and silently moves toward the east.
Out 6f the skies come the very angels of heaven to announce the
coming of the Prince of Peace. The angelic music breaks on the
still quiet night and !the heavenly choir, '. through earth and sky,
ring forth Ihe rapturous melody: "Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward men."
The world has caught up he words of the heavenly host, but,
the music, no mortal conception can reach. The sublime rapture,
the joyous thrill, the celestial strain have been lost to onr powers
of reproduction. 1 . - ; .
Then the shepherds went forth to the citr of ' David to find
there the Prince of Peace. Upon a thrdhe they( found him not.
Clad in swadling clothes they found Him in a manger. ; Yet they
returned with lips attuned to His praise. His kingdom crossed the
continents, over-reached the seas and to the increase in His govern
ment and peace there is no end. Of lowly birth, yet clothed with
power greater than that of all other kings and princes combined.
The echoes of that night have widened with . the years, luey
, have swept on and on,' over continents and seas until His uplifting
power and influence is, under almost every throne on earthy .His
power shalr yet'blndfaii mankind koto one universal, brotfetr&ooqV
Peace shall find her wav into every tribe and nation, ine voice
strife shall he stilled : love shall flood the continents
with glory and jewel every human heart until the earth, catching
up the strains of the heavenly host, shall answerback:
, "Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown Him Lord of all,"
. Bnckner--Byrd.

Sheriff W. M. Buckner of this
