SERIOUS SICKNESS
t .
By Being Constantly Supplied With
Thedford’s Black-Draught.
McDuff, Va.—"I suffered for several
years,” says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, ol
this place, “with sick headache, and
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to try
Thedford's Black-Draught, which 1 diet,
and I found it to be the best family medi
cine for young and old.
I keep Black-Draught on hand all the
lime now, and when my children feel a
little bad, they ask me for a dose, and it
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenced
using Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught Is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re
lieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea,
headache, sick stomach, and similar
symptoms. —
It has been in constant use for more
than 70 years, and has benefited more
than a million people.
Your druggist sells and recommends
Black-Draught. Price only 25c. Get a

An unusual gulf siory comes from
Scotland. Mrs. Barnett, an American
lady living at North Berwick, while
playing oa the course recently, had
her game considerably interfered with
by a persistently inquisitive crow. She
had just made a toe shot when the
crew secured the ball, and, after flying
with It for some distance, dropped It
The lady made two other shots, and
the crow, to her amazement twice re
turned and lifted the ball after eh
had played It.

BATTLE AXE.
This is one of the gloomy days.
Last week quite a variety of work was
in progress. Now Rook seems to be
in order. Some play, others look on.
(Jetting winter wood is now more
forcefully suggested than preparing
to farm.
I J. F. Guiltner assisted by H. Hanley,
I is busy invoicing stock this week,
while R. F. Tyer is waiting on cus
| tomers and keeping up fire for the
comfort of Rook players and loafers,
i G. A. Pilquist is on the grand jury,
but Jim Thompson and Jim A. Lind
ley will still look after white perch,
i Rev. Blackwell filled the regular ap
pointment for Christian church Sun
i day; also Saturday night.
I J. W. Lindley and wife visited in
Tuckerman Sunday afternoon,
j C. A. Tyer and Curtis McElroy ane
in Cross county for a few days, set
! ting up some gasoline engines that
j Mr. Tyer recently sold to parties at
Wynne.
| The Battle Axe Sunday School,
R. F. Tyer Superintendent, is meeting
1 regularly with encouraging interest.
Attendance, however, is far smaller
than it should be. ,
Drummers seemingly have an a
biding confidence in the future finan
cial strength of Battle Axe, and Cen
terville. We had eight or ten in one
day this week, and rarely fail to
have several any day. They are gen
erally jolly good fellows, and consti
tute a type of the “middleman” that is
a necessary evil (?) in the present
business methods of the country.
If the Jackson County Fair proves
to be a go next fall, I wish to enter
Bird township now for the largest
and most variegated display of dogs.
Jim Lindley and Ed Maxey are not
the only dog owners by long odds. A
dog tax of $1 a head would probably
afford more revenue than the gov
ernment will realize from her income
tax —in this part of the township at
any rate, or most of us have dogs
and few of us have incomes.. Wonder
why cholera doesn’t attack dogs in
stead of hogs. If it did we would
have less noise and fewer fleas about
the house and more meat in the smoke
house.
