Louisiana Lady States That
The First Bottle of Cardui
She Took, Helped
Her.
Montgomery, La.—“I was In a
dreadfully run-down condition.”
says Mrs. Charles L. Lacroix, of this
city. “I suffered a great deal of
pain. I was In misery all over. I
could not alt up and I could not lie
down. J couldn't sleep and at times
I would have dreadful vomiting
spells. The aches and pains seemed
to cover my whole body.
"I had taken Cardui, off and on,
since 1903. It had always done mo
good, so when I got in this bad con
dition, I thought I would take it
again.
‘‘One night, my husband brought
me home six bottles of Cardui and
I began to take It. I could tell that
I was Improving from tho first bot
tle, but I kept on taking the medi
cine, for I knew that I needed a
tonic that would build me up and
strengthen me where I was weak
and run-down. That is exactly
what Cardui did for me. After I
had finished the sixth bottle I felt
line. I feel truly thankful tor what
Cardui has done for met for I could
not have gone on living in the des
perate conaltlon I was In."
Cardui Is a harmless

Essex Relieves The
Strain Of Driving
Practically all of the new models
embody features designed to reduce
driving strain. Noteworthy among
thetp is the now Essex which is
equipped with an automatic chok
ing device. This innovation elimi
nates a good deal of the annoy
ance usually experienced when driv
ing in winter weather.
Instead of constantly choking hts
motor after starting it on a cold'
morning, the driver of the new Es
sex need only pull out the choke
button half way and from then on
the choking action Is entirely au
tomatic and closes when the motor
becomes thoroughly warmed. This
is accomplished by means of a bal
anced butterfly valve on the air
taken into the carburetor. The
valve Is opened gradually by the
force of suction as the speed of the
motor is Increased, providing the
proper fuel mixture when a steady
driving speed is attained.
New Model In
Oakland Line
A new model supplementing the
other seven passenger types in the
latest line of Oakland All-American
sixes is announced today by the
Oakland Motor Car company.
Known as the special four-door
1 sedan, the new car Is built to take'
the place of the landau sedan In the
previous All-American series.
While following in exterior de
sign the regular 4-door sedan, the
new model carries luxurious Inter
ior equipment and refinements as
well as strtking new exterior Duco
combinations.
Upholstery oi~* superior quality
of mohair, genuine pecan wood
I garnish rails, vanity case and smok
ing set and rubber floor mat with
Celt back are new features of the
! special sedan, which also has the
adjustable driver's seat, ebony fin
ish Instrument panel, non-glare
fear view' mirror and other advanc
ed body refinements common to all
Flsher-Oakland bodies.
Whippet Ha» Seven
Bearing Crackshaft
The remarkable publlo acceptance
accorded the new Whippet six, said
to have set a new high standard of
quality construction and engineer
ing features in the light six field,
Is cited as one of the outstanding
features of the past year in the
automobile industry.
Introduced at the lowest price
ever reached by a six cylinder car,
the Whippet six went even fur
ther, being equipped with a seven
bearing crank-shaft, and even to
day the new Whippet six is out
standing as tho world’s lowest pric
ed six with a seven-bearing crank
shaft. This notable advancement
centered the eyes of the entire in
dustry on the Whippet six and its
subsequent public acceptance and
.high standard .of performance were
chief factors in creating a demand
even greater than was anticipated.
In Wtlly-Overland's introduction
of the superior Whippet six, many
of the features of the former mod
el, including the fully drilled seven
bearing crankshaft, have been re
tained. However, the present bodies
have been newly designed, made
larger and roomier, and are mark
ed by a style and quality develop
ment which Illustrated a new idea
of value and beauty in the low pric
ed bracket.

ed confidence that 1929 business

which had been the most prosper
ous twelve-month period they had
heretofore experienced.

In Memory Of Miss
Patsy Ellen Stockton
Gloom has been cast over the en
tire community by the -untimely
death of Miss Patsy Ellen Stock
ton which occurred Wednesday
morning, January 30.
Patsy was a member of the
Freshman class of the Lattimore
high school and was very popular
emong the student body and a wide
circle of friends.
School was dismissed in order
that all students might attend the
funeral.
She had been a patient sufferer
for several years with heart trou
ble, but seldom speaking of her af
fliction to anyone. She always met
her friends with a smile and a
cheerful word.
It seemed that Patsy realized that
death was not far away and had
spoken of it a number of times.
The very best of medical skill and
nursing was employed in an effort
to save her, but to no avail. After
a few weeks of Intense suffering her
sweet soul passed on to the great
beyond.
She was conscious to the very
last and requested that loved ones
remain by her bedside. With her
arms around her father's neck and
with the words * 00106 with me
father” her beautiful young life was
ended. She would have been fif
teen years old had she lived until
May.
Pa>y Joined the Lattimore Bap
tist church two years ago and at
tended services regularly. She will
be greatly missed In the Sunday
school. Her favorite scripture was
the Psalms. She would read this
often, seeming to find great pleas
ure in doing so.
About a year ago she selected the
casket in which she wanted to be
burled and requested that she be
placed by her grandfather in the
Double Springs cemetery.
Funeral services were conducted
Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock at
Double Springs church by her pas
tor. Rev. I. D. Harrill, assisted by
Rev. D. G. Washburn, Prof. Lawton
Blanton attesting to the high es
teem in which the deceased was
held among teachers, students and
friends.
One of the largest crowds ever
seen at the church gathered to pay
a tribute of respect to this honored
and lovely girl. '
Pall bearers were members of the
faculty of Lattimorc high school
Prof's. Blanton, Taylor, Wilson,
Hood, White and Wilson.
The flower girls were classmates
and special friends Of Miss Stock

Hamriok, Jennie Blanton, Clara Po
teet, Euphra Ramsey, Genevieve
Blanton, Elizabeth Hewitt, Nancy
McCurry, Bertie Lee Threatt, Grace
Walker, Frances Greene, Aileone

Blanton, Sara Harris and Beatrix
Blanton.
There were many beautiful floral
designs. The grave being complete
ly covered with flowers.
Surviving are her grief stricken
parents. Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Stock
ten, one sister, Miss Margaret
Stockton and one brother, George
Thomas Stockton.
Dearest Patsy thou hast left us.
And thy losa we deeply feel,
But ’tis God who has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet some day we hope to meet you,
On that bright and happy shore,
Where with Angels you will greet us
And we ll meet to part no more.

The city is compelled to have $20,000 within the next few

More titan this amount, much more, is now due the city
from citizens.
The city board does not consider it fair for the city to be
forced to borrow frcin the bank to meet payments due when
more titan the amount owed by the city is owing to the city
by taxpayers.
The city has a limited borrowing power, and for thi*
reason the board has authorized the clerk to state that assess
ments not paid immediately will be legally advertised.
Notices ol the assessments have been mailed to all. but
were ignored by many. Citizens may borrow the money at the

This is a fair and just warning and should net be con
