Lumbago
This Is a rheumatism of the muscles
of the back. It comes on suddenly and
is quite painful. Every movement ag
gravates the disease. Go to bed, keep
quiet, and have Chamberlain’s Liniment
applied and a quick recovery may be
expected. Mrs. F. J. Dann. Brockport,
N. Y„ writes: "I can honestly say that
Chamberlain’s Liniment cured me of
lumbago a year ago last summer. When
I began using it, I was flat of my
back in bed and could not turn to 'the
left or right. I had a bottle of Cham
berlain's Liniment in the house and this
was applied to my back. It promptly
drove away the pains and. aches."

ment is usually applied the modern
remedy, Liquid Boroione, will do the
work more quickly, more thoroughly and
more pleasantly. Price 30c, 60c, and

Commends Mrs. Nixon’s Candidacy.
Editors Leader
Just a few words from an old-time
.citizen who has known Mrs. Jyme
Daughtry Nixon (Jimmie) from her
earliest childhood. Older residents
of Brookhaven remember her father,
Dr. J. B. Daughtry, as one of the
pioneer business men of the city who
was associated in business with
J. M. Smylio, Esq., under the firm
name of Daughtry & Smylie, Drug
gists, whose place of business was lo
cated on at that time, R. R. Ave., on
the site now occupied by the Ar
cade Theatre.
After retiring from the drug bus
iness, Dr. Daughtry entered the in
surance business, later being elected
to the office of Mayor of the City of
Brookhaven, serving for a number of
years as Mayor and secretary of the
Masonic bodies of the city.
Tn those davs the office of Citv
Clerk was conducted by an alderman
elected by the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen, acting as clerk and aider
man, who usually kept “dots” of
the proceedings of the acts of the
Mayor and Board, which in turn were
handed over to “Jimmie” who kept
the books of the city, and, as d mat
ter of fact, was City Clerk in all ex
cept name, keeping the books and re
cords, etc., in a very creditable man
ner. Beside this she assisted her
father in his business (insurance.)
Her early experience thus acquired
will stand her well in hand and eas
ily qualifies' her for the office to
which she aspires.
She is a native of Brookhaven and
has spent her entire life here. She
is capable, well qualified, and de
serves the consideration and support
of the voters in the next primary.
—An Old Citizen.
To The Voters of Brookhaven.
As one who believes in a judicious
use of the ballot, “Pair Play” forces
us to speak.
Toward Mrs. Nixon we have the
kindliest of feelings, and would not
detract one iota from the veneration
and respect due by us to her beloved
father.
What we are compelled to say, is
that the ballot is a sacred thing, the
No Charge!
There are a lot of things
we do here at no charge,
without regard to whether
your battery is a Willard
or not.
•
There are other things,'such
as repairs, recharging and so on,
that we have to charge for, but
even with them we throw in a
good measure of service that we
never ask you to pay for.
We’re Battery Headquarters
—and we give the same careful
attention to all makes of bat
teries. Come in, and get ac
quainted.

Always demand the genuine
very foundation upon which this
government has rested since Its in
cipiency and upon which It yet ex
ists as a nation. Why has America
grown to be the greatest nation on
earth? Because our fathers have, in
exercising the right of ballot, been
guided not by their emotions, but by
their reasoning power. If our selec
tion of leaders and officers be con
trolled by our emotions, then effi
cient government can not be expect
ed.
We neither offer here a criticism
of any candidate nor do we present
a brief for any person, but, as one
who loves ideals and principles, we
trust that people now and always,
in casting their ballots, will not
allow their sympathies to run riot
over their judgment.

Whooping Cough
This is a very dangerous disease, par
ticularly to children under five years of
age. but when no paregoric, codeine, or
other opiate is given, is easily cured
by giving Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. Most people believe that it must
run its course, not knowing that the
time is very much shortened, and that
there is little danger from the disease
when this remedy is given. It has been
used in many epidemics of whooping
cough with pronounced success. It is
safe and pleasant to take.

liver medicine, we use. We use It
for torpid liver, sour stomach, head

Mother’s Day at Mt. Zion.
The Mothers’ Day program was a

they get home and take an active
part in church affairs in preference
to other things. .They now superin
tend the Sunday School. Had a good
man there but he gave up for the
young man. They also lead prayer
meetings. Plenty older people; but
the - young, some of them, are an
xious to serve, as young Christians

Tuesday was loaded by S. Kemp and
biought $1.70, a rather encouraging
price. With the exception of two
loads which were turned down by the
inspectors, the car shipped was of
excellent quality. The turning down
of these two loads emphasizes a fact
that growers should bear in mind—•
that inspection this year is to be
more rigid than ever before. Be
careful not to pull immature toma
toes. A good way to tell is by cut
ting open a tomato now and then.
The seed turn red when the Btock is
ready to go. We have a big crop to
market, and it is very important that
only excellent stock be shipped. A
few packages of Immature topaatoes
would bring the price down iln a
hurry. — Hajlehurst Courier, ft
