made by County Clerk George L.
Robinson shows an outstanding
scrip issue on the above date of
$12,229.
The last calling in of the
county’s scrip was in 1903, elev
en years ago and as there is
much doubt as to what the ac
tual indebtedness of the county
is, Judge Coe has wisely deter
mined by the only means possi
ble to determine exactly what is
the county’s debt.
Gives Party to Miss Hirsch.
Miss Corinne Mosby was a
charming hostess this afternoon
at a beautifully planned party
given in honor of Miss Elise
| Hirsch, a popular member of the
! younger society set, who is to
i leave here next week for Little
! Rock to make her home.
For the occasion Miss Mosby
I had a quantity of pretty flowers
! in the card rooms that lent their
1 beauty and fragrance to the oc
1 casion, the color motifF being
! pink and green. The game of
hearts was enjoyed, followed by
cream and cake in which the
; same color effect was seen. The
guest of honor was given a beau
1 tiful set of gold pins.
Those present were Misses
Elise Hirsch, Lochie Graham,
Mildred Reamey, Estelle Hite,
Leone Umsted, Mary Frances
J Hays, Mary Madeline Hocking,
•Antoinette Bond, Josephine
• Deaderick, Mary Frances Bains
and Lucy Bennett.
“Character and Creed.’
| The present European situa
J tion, providing as it does for
| critical minds the spectacle of
| Christian nations engaged in
criminal patricide on a tremen
dous scale tends to awaken an
tagonism to the church and
gives a point of attack to those
opposed or lukewarm to Chris
tian dogma and institutions. As
the church emerged trium
phant from one thousand years
of despotism and feudalism with
its message of hope for present
political and economic condi
tions, so Christians believe that
its mystic continuity will inspire
the generations to come. This
faith will be interpreted and the
reasons for it explained by the
Rector of St. Paul’s Church in a
sermon on “Character and Creed’
next Sunday morning. Ail are
cordially invited to come and
hear it.

INDIGESTION
A Disorder that Breeds Di*
ease in the Body, and an
Easy Way to Cure it
Take care of the stomach and you will
have little need for the doctor.
When the stomach begins to show
signs of disorder; when the food digests
slowly and with discomfort; when you
ha^e heartburn: feel bloated and uneasy,
you are in a condition that needs attea
tion.
Prickly Ash Bitters corrects the dis
ordered stomach by strengthening and
toning up the digestive organs, driving
the badly digested food into the bowels
and thence out of the system.
Constipation is nearly always pres
ent when the stomach becomes sour or
disordered. Pricklj Ash Bitters con
tains the medicinal qualities which ac 1
as a restorative and regulator for tin
stomach and bowels. It strengthens th»
digestive organs, cures constipation and
prevents the return of bilious conditions.
Thousands c4 people who have re
ceived lasting benefit from this great
remedy willingly testify to its power id
curing indigestion, constipation and kid
ney trouble.
*1 suffered from constipation for years, and
tried many remedies, but Prickly Ash Bitters il
the only medicine that has ever done me any
good. Through its use I am now in good health
and entirely free from all traces of my forme:
trouble.”—3. P. Stigall, Winnsboro, Louisaaa
