Read what a Water Valley citizen
says;
Mrs. Mary Horan, 233 Hill Street,
says: “I used <a couple boxes of
Doan’s Kidney Pills and they cured a
case of kidney complaint that had
been annoying me for six months.
My back was mighty painful and
would give out oh me. J got dizzy
every time I stooped over. My kid
neys didn’t act properly, either and
I suffered ffom rheumatic pains. See

began taking them and they soon put
my kidneys in good condition. 1
gladly recommena this remedy.”

EIGHT CHILDREN HAD CROUP
“I have eight children and give
Foley’s Honey and Tar to all of
them," writes Mrs. P. Rehkamp,
2404 Herman St, Covington, Ky.:
"they all were subject to croup.”
It loosens mucus and phlegm, stops
that strangling cough, makes easy
breathing possible and permits
quiet sleep. Contain no opiates.

PETITION FOR PARDON.

sippi and
His Excellency, T. G. Bilbo, • *
Governor of Mississippi,
Jackson, Mias.
We the undersigned citizcna of the
State of Mississippi, and of Yalobusha
County, most respectfully petition
YOUR HONORABLE BODY for a
pardon for George Goodwin, who wai,
convicted of MANSLAUGHTER at
the--Term of the
Circuit Court, in the Second District
of Yalobusha County Mississippi and
that the November Term of the Su
preme Court Affirmed the verdict and
the findings of the lower court, said
sentence of the Court was FIFTEEN
YEARS in the penitentiary.
We are familiar with this case, and
we are very much surprised at the
verdict of the jury, and we believe
that the findings in the case of Mr.
Goodwin was a miscarriage of JUS
TICE. We are also reliably informed
that a part of the JURY that tried
Mr. Goodwin, in place of discussing
the merits and evidence in Ida case,
repeatedly discussed another murder
rase that was tried some six months
prior to Ml Goodwins' wherein the
Defendant was represented by the
same COUNSEL that represented Mr.
Goodwin, said Defendant was ac
quitted, and several of the Jurors in
Mr. Goodwin’s case were still dissatis
fied with the verdict of “NOT GUIL
TY” in that case. Mr. Goodwin has
lived in this county practically all his
life, is FORTY THREE years of age,
and is of a splendid family. He has
always heretofore borne a good repu
tation, quiet and accomodating, and
it is simply beyond us to believe, that
he acted other than the situation and
circumstances forced him to act. For
said reasons we join in this petition
praying a full and complete pardon
for Mr. Goodwin.
Respectfully submitted,
A. B. PORTER.

Eugene Palmer, Lawrence, Mass.,
writes: “Foley’s Honey and Tar re

Tar checks cold, cuts the phlegm,
soothes inflamed membranes, clears

NOTICE FOR BIDS
FOR COUNTY DEPOSITORY
Notice is hereby given that at the

Supervisors of Yalobusha County,
Mississippi, to be held on the Fifth
day of January, 1920, seal bid* will
be received from the banks of Yalo
busha County and adjoining coun
ties, for the safe keeping of all funds
belonging to said county of Yalo
busha for the year 1920, in accord
ance with the provisions of Chapter
194 of the laws of Mississippi enact
ed at the 1912 session of the Legis
lature as amended by Chapter 257 of
the laws of 1914.
The Board reserves the right to
reject any and aU bids in accordance

Chamberlain'* Tablet*.
These tablets are intended es
pecially for indigestion and constipa
tion. They tone up the stomach and
enable it to perform its functions
naturally. They act gently on the
liver and bowels, thereby restning
the stomach and bowels to a healthy
condition. When you feel dull, stu
pid and constipated give them a trial.
You Are certain to be pleased v*ith
their effect.
CUT THIS OUT—IT IS WORTH
MONEY
DON’T MISS THIS.* Cut out this
slip enclose with 6c to Foley A Co.,
28316 Sheffield Ave., Chicago, 111.,
writing your name and address clear
ly. You will receive in return a trial
package containing Foley’s Roney
and Tar Compound, for coughs, colds
and croup, Foley Kidney fills and
Foley Cathartic Tablets..
Should Be Quarantined.
Many physicians believe that'any
one who has a bad cold should be
completely isolated to prevent other
members of the family and associates
from contracting the disease, as colds
are about as catching as measles.
One thing sure—the sooner one rids
himself of a cold the less the danger,
and you will look a good while before
you find a better medicine than Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy to aid you
in curing a cold.
. WAS RESTLESS WITH PA|N
E. W. Kitt, R. F. D. 2, Box 9,
Shorters, Ala., writes: “I took Foley
Kidney Pills as I was restless at
night with pains in my back and side,
and they did me good. J can truth
fully say Foley Kidney Pills is ihe
medicine for kidney trouble.” They
relieve rheumatic pains, stiff, swollen
joints, lameness, soreness.
Do You Enjoy Your Meals?
If you do not enjoy your meals
your digestion is faulty. Eat moder
ately, especially of meats, masticate
your food thoroughly. Let five hours
elapse between meals and take one of
Chamberlain's Tablets immediatelv
after supper and you will soon find
your meals to be a real pleasure

Ask Any Doughboy Who
Was “Over There”
•nd he will tell you that American railroads are
the best in the world.
He saw the foreign roads — in England and
Prance, the best in Europe —and in other Con
tinental countries — and he knows.
The part railroads have played in the develop
ment of the United States is beyond measure.
American railroads have'achieved high stand
ards of public service by far-sighted and courage
ous investment of capital, and by the constant
striving of managers and men for rewards for work
well done.
We have the best railroads in the world — we
must continue to have the best.
But they must grow.
To the $20,000,000,000 now invested in our
railroads, there will have ,to be added in the next
few years, to keep pace with the nation’s business,
billions more for additional tracks, stations and
terminals, cars and engines, electric power houses
and trains, automatic signals, safety devices, the
elimination of grade crossings — and for recon
struction and engineering economies that will re
duce the cost of transportation.
To attract to the railroads in the future the in
vestment funds of many thrifty citizens, the direct
ing genius of the most capable builders and man
agers, and the skill and loyalty of the best work
men — in competition with other industries bid
ding for capital, managers and men — the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to
managers and to the men.
American railroads will continue to set world
standards and adequately serve the Nation’s needs
if they continue to be built and operated on the
American principle of rewards for work well done.
