McDougal’s Grief.
Speaking of taxes, how do y'*u
ke your state and county tax bill
or tnis year? The ne> l legi-lature
i< elected on a promise to “raise
more revenue,’* and that body will
issemble in January to do that very
thioi;. — Wayne News.
Is it possible tha*, under the be
neficent Dawson lax laws the taxes
are increasing In the county of
Wayne? There surely must be some
mistake. It. has been but a shoit
time since Bro Tom McDougal of
the Ceredo Advance, delivered a
panegyric over the blessings which
tin* Dawson tax laws brought the
i farmer and the poor man in theway
i of tax reduction I In the course of
his panegyric he declared the people
should erect a monument to the
memory ot \V illiim Mcekiris Owens
Dawson, and when his remains
became ossified that he should be
come canonized as “St. Bill, the
lax Reformer!”
Now, to think that before Bill
Dawson ban taken his departure
from this mundane sphere his tax
laws ha ve proven a heavy burden
to the farmer and poo** man, which
* ill prevent Bro. McDougal from
insisting on the Dawson monument
and samtship!
Keally, I$ro. MeDougal, what is
I he increase in your tax receipt this
year? — West Viigiuia Argus.
MeDougal r.-joicee instead of
grieves, as the heading of this arti
cle would indicate. Notwithstand
ing the state had a costly strike and
a great deal ot revenue was lost Vie.
cause of the prohibition amendment
which necessitated a slight increase
in the state levy, the taxes in this
county were coneiderally less for
19W than they were for 1913, the
levy for 1913 being *1.08$ on the
one hundred dollars valuation and
for 1914 only 92$
I he state levy for 1914 was only
six cents on the hundred dollars
under a Republican administration,
with no revenue from saloons, while
under the last Democratic state ad.
ministration it was thirty.five cents,
with thousands of dollars from sa
loon licenses. Quite a difference,
isu'r it?
1 he majority of Wayne county
tax-payers, as we have before stated,
are pleased with the Dawson tax
laws, as the service corporations
now pay their just part of the taxes.
Were this law repealed our taxes
would Vie about doubled.
We answer our dear brother of
the Wayne News, that we like our
state and county tax bill for 1914
splendidly, because we pay less \
taxes than we did in 1913.
We answar our dear brother of;
the West Virginia Argus, that there ,
was a mistake if he took the para
graph from the News to mean the
taxes were higher for 1914 than
they were the year previous. Never, |
never, will the farmer and the poor
man be wilting to do away with
the Dawson tax laws—never.
The RAudolph Review says the i
editors of West Virginia should at- i
tend the Publishers’ association
meeting at Charleston the 12th inst., •
if’they have to borrow the money
to get. there. If they are compelled
to borrow money to get to Charles
ton they should secure enough to
pay a year’s dues as a member of
the association. The coming see

a great deal to the uewspapaper

The Ceredo Advance, T. T . Me*
Dougal's weekly newspaper, hag
celebrated its thirtieth birthday.
The Advance is one ot the truly
interesting and prosperous of' West
Virginia’s weekly newspapers and
since the paper and its editor are
comparatively young, it has a fu
ture of much promise.—Hunting

Some Time Back.
\N by should the Ceredo Advance
style the editor of the State Journ
al the dean of the newspaper fra
teruity in this State? We deany it.
The editor of the Advauce, Col.
Tom McDougal, himself, was in
a newspaper office when we were
a boy. Then didn’t he have as
much to do with starting the
Ritchie Gazette in 1873 as we did?
—Paikershurg State Journal.
If we remember correctly, aud
we thiuk we do, the editor of the
State Journal was rather an old
boy aud the editor of the Advauce
a young chap when the Ritchie
Gazette was founded.
The Advance is not the only pa
per that styles Bro. Morris the
dean of the newspaper fraternity
of the state. There are others.
There comes a time when Indian
summer has beaten a permanent re

It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., In
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before 1 began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the. pain would kill me. i was hardly able
to do any of my housework. Auer taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good."
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.
