To those reckless automobilists of
Newport, who are taking advantage
of these nice Sundays and are driving
their cars along our highways at a
break-neck speed, we dedicate these
few lines|. We country people who
are unfortunately not owners of cars
must enjoy ours Ives by taking our
Sunday afternoon spins in our buggies
drawn by our faithful family horse,
but even then we must be on the con
stant lookout to keep from being run
down by some reckless motorist, who
Knows just as muen aDout driving an
automobile as they do a Wright Bi
plane. There is a law against reck
less driving and it must be enforc
ed, before some accident occurs.

We are indebted to Ar-Kan-Saw
for his (or her) kind favor of last
week by giving us the location of i
Adelaide. We promised to ask no
more questions, but we wish to know
if the street address is Broadway or
just a plain broad way.
While Jackson county is bn the
dry list at present w’e recall the fol
lowing news item, where a Georgia
man expressed his opinion when his
town voted for saloons, “If we are go
ing to stand for our women folks to
wear shadow and slit skirts and tight
form fitting dresses and vulgar hob
ble skirts, and our young women
learning to dance the boll weevil wig
gle, Texas Tommy Tango, the bunny
hug, the bean dance, calf canter, the
buzzard flop, and so on down the
line, the me 1 folks had just as well
have ir saloons and the whole
push go to hell together.”
Dorse Wilmans is getting to be
quite a driver and he is out with his
new Ford car almost every day. He
says there is a good many things to
learn about a car before one can be
come qualified. On one occasion his
car balked and after several attempts
to get it started by cranking it, about
five hundred times, he then, after a
very close investigation, discovered
that there was no gasoline in the tank.
But we will wager our last dollar that
he will make good alright.

The people’s telephone line is stil

ment over the coming election. I thinl
there is good prospects of Salt Creel

j we have never had a line from. So
1 get busy somebody, and let's try to
nave a few lines from evc;y poscoitice
in the county, and make tne Inde
pendent tne nest paper in tne state,
I and write every ween, too, if possible,
I if only a few lines. Tile best plan, 1 |
think, is for all of us to try and get
i some one to write from every place
near us that hasn’t a correspondent.
So let s try, one and all.

Here’s to the wife of the candidate,
May she ever be true,
And sustain her husband in time of
need
As every good wife should do.
When he’s away, she takes his place
The very best she can;
With never a wish for a chance to
vote,
Or any of the rights of a man.
How helpless she feels all alone,
When there’s so much to be done,
The managing of business and home,
And the care of the little one.
Then she feels a kindred spirit
To the women of sixty-five,
Anxious after a battle to know
If her soldier be dead or alive.
I Not that he fights on a battlefield
! 'Gainst sword, or musket or gun,
But in a far more dangerous way
Against some foeman’s tongue.
If he comes to her as a victor brave,
Or defeated, ’twill be the same—
; He’ll keep for her till eternity
A clear and spotless name.

Of Mrs. Chappll, of Five Years' j
Standing, Relieved by Cardui.
Mt. Airy, N. C.—Mrs. Sarah M. Chap
pell of this town, says: “1 suffered for
live years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
i read one day about Cardui, the wo
man’s tonic, nd I decided to try it. I
had not taken out about six bottles until
1 was almost cured. It did me more
good than all the other medicines 1 had
tried, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and I told them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it.”
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache,
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
feeling?
If so, let us urge you to give Cardu! a
trial. We teel confident it will help you,
just as it has a million other women in
ihe past half century.
Begin taking Cardui to-day. You
won’t regret it. All druggists.
