THE LEON REPORTER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22. 1004.
Jas. Gill, ccunty auditor of Decatur
county, was in Mt. Ayr last vteek at
tending the fair. He brought his fam
ous pacing horse with him to enter in
some of the races, but unfortunately
the managers were unable to make up a
race for Mr. Gill's horse. The associa
tion, however, bore Mr. Gill's expenses
in coming to the fair.—Mt.Ayr Record.
MATRIMONIAL.
Blalr-Gillen.
Wallace H. Blair and Lulu A. Gillen
were united in marriage at 4 o'clock
Sunday afternoon., Elder G. W. Blair, of
Kellerton, officiating. The ceremony
was performed in the presence of the
two interested families only, in the
beautiful new home of the bride and
groom on Tenth street, recently builded
and furnished for their immediate oc
cupancy.
After the ceremony the small party
were seated to the repast prepared by
the bride herself, which repast, though
liberal, soon looked small indeed. And
if one may safely judge from the spread,
Wallace will have no cause for com
plaint as regards his young wife's
proficiency in the culinary art.
An enumeration of the attributes of
either bride or groom would be super
fluous. Both have been known to La
moni and vicinity since infancy, and
are known as industrious and deserving
young people. Both are employees of
the Herald Publishing House, in which
employ they will remain for the present
at least.
The Chronicle with the entire com
munity extends congratulations and the
best of wishes.—LamonL Chronicle.
Sick Headache.
"For several years my wife was troub
led with «wliat physicians called sick
headache of a very severe character. She
doctored with several eminent physi
cians and at great expense, only to grow
worse until she was unable to do any
kind of work. About a year ago she be
gan taking Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets and today weighs more
than she ever did before and is real
well," says Mr. George E. Wright, of
New London, New York. For sale by L,
P. Van Werden.
Dr. J. W. Crofford, the much advertis
ed Lamoni man, was in Mt. Ayr Wednes
day, trying to interest a few local capi
talists in a projected "air" line from
Des Moines to Port Arthur. Dr. Crofford
represents that he and nine other men,
all residents of the Lamoni vicinity ex
cept one—Col. M. L. Temple, of Osceola
—have filled articles of incorporation,
and are now ready to let a few good
Ringgold people in on a good thing.
Although the projected route strikes
the Ozark mountains, it is claimed that
the road will not diverge over four
miles at any point from an absolutely
straight line between the terminals 800
miles apart. The Texas oil fields are to
be tapped. In the enthusiastic view of
the promoters, there are "millions in it.'
—Mt. Ayr News.
Takes the burn out heals the wound
cures theiain. Dr. Thomas' Electric
Oil, the household remedy.
If the office holders succeed in voting
the biennial election scheme onto the
people, there will be no more off years
in Iowa politics -when we can discuss
state and local issues. Every election
will be on national issues. Every dem
ocrat in Iowa ought to vote and vote
against the biennial election scheme.
Creston American.
Used for Pneumonia.
Dr. C. J. Bishop, of Agnew, Mich
says, "I have used Foley's Honey and
Tar in three very severe cases of pneu
monia with good results in every case.'
Refuse substitutes.

further saving. Altogether, the
rangement is an unusually inexpensive
and convenient one. Full details cheer

Ketcham, Agent, Leon, Iowa.
Special Homeseekers' Excursions
to Wyoming and Nebraska.
Are announced by the Burlington
Route for September 29, with return
limit of 21 days.
From Leon the round trip fare to
either of many different points in Wy
oming and western and central Nebras
ka is only §18.25, and as stopovers are
allowed in the Homeseekers' territory,
the arrangement offers opportunity to
combiner pleasant outing with a per
sonal investigation of the advantages
that are now attracting so much atten
tion, not only to the Big Horn country,
but to other good parts of Wyoming and
to the free lands of western Nebraska,
through part of which the route t,o Wy
oming lies.
Full particulars of the train service,
etc., will be furnished by C. M. Ketcham
Agent, Leon, Iowa.
Doctors Could Not Help Her.
"I had kidney trouble for years,"
writes Mrs. Raymond Conner, of Shel
ton, Wash., "Mid the doctors could not
help me. I tried Foley's Eidney Cure,
and the very first dose gave me relief
and I am now cured. I cannot say too
much for Foley's Kidney Cure."
