Odd Fellows Committee.
At the recent meeting of the
Odd Fellows Grand Lodge a
committee of three trustees was
appointed to visit Walnut Ridge
and take such action as they
deemed proper in establishing an
industrial school on the Robins
farm near town in accordance
with the will of the late A. W.
Shirey, who donated his large
fortune to that order. The com
mittee arrived Tuesday and was
met by a committee of local
members, composed of T. J. Sha
rum, Dr. G. W. Parker and Dr.
G. Max Watkins.
lwo days were spent in look
ing over the various properties
of the estate. A call for the
Commercial Club to meet with
this committee was issued by
President J. J. Powers and sec
retary Dud Bassett and a rep
resentative crowd of business
men assembled at their club
rooms at hotel Rhea last night.
The three trustees, J. B. Baker
of Melbourne, E. E. Morrel, Mul
berry, and W. D. Crawford of
Cisco each made speeches, but
no one committed himself for
they did not know what could be
done, but all expressed them
selves highly pleased with the
lands, the location and the roy
al reception by our business
men.
Speeches were made by W.
M. Ponder, Dr. G. W. Parker, W.
J. Nicks, W. E. Beloate and S.
C- Dowell. Mr. Beloate cleared up
the situation by stating the trus
tees could not do anything until
all the recent judgments had
been cleared up, which no doubt
will be done soon, then some
thing can be done.—Walnut
Ridge Blade.

A CONFESSION
Hopes Her Statement, Made Public,
will Help Other Women.
Hines, Ala.—“I must confess”, says
Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, “that
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, has done me
a great deal oi good.
Before I commenced using Cardui, I
would spit up everything 1 ate. I had a
tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular, i could hardly drag around,
and would have severe headaches con
tinuously.
Since taking Cardui, 1 have entirely
quit spitting up what I eat. Everything
seems to digest all right, and 1 have
gained 10 pounds in weight.”
If you are a victim of any of the numer
ous ills so common to your sex, it is
wrong to suiter.
For half a century, Cardui has been re
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands of letters, similar to the above,
which pour into our office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because it is com
posed of ingredients which act specifically
on the womanly constitution, and helps
build the weakened organs back to health
and strength.
Cardui has helped others, and will help
you, too. Get a bottle today. You
won’fregret it Your druggist sells it.
