Is it possible there is a woman in this country who con
tmues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound a trial after all the evidence that is con
tinually being published, which proves beyond contradic
tion that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffer
, mg among women than any other one medicine in the world ?
We have published in the newspapers of the United States
more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been pub
lished m the interest of any other medicine for women

Confederate Veterans returning
from the Memphis reunion learing
that President John Howe Peyton's
car was attached to the N. C. & St,

ROBERTS REPRIEVED.
Third Stay for West Tennessean Ac
cused of Murder.
Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 11. Gov.
Rye to-day granted a reprieve to

unteered his services to the defend
ant, who now wish further time for
investigation of the legal status of
the anticipatal punishment act
passed by the last General Assembly
and vetoed, and time in which to
institute legal proceedings to test
the legality of capital punishment in
this State, said application being in

CANT DENY IT.
Baptist Revival.
The Baptist1 revival closed out last
Sunday night. This meeting bas con
tinued for three weeks and has been one
of the most successful ever held at the
Baptist Church. Unfortunately satis
factory arrangements could not be had
to bring about the tent meeting that
had been planned. When this could
not be had the people of the Baptist
Church and many of other denomina
tions, together with some of no denom
ination, asked the Baptist pastor, Rev.
H. H. Drake, to conduct the meeting.
This he did. It is always impossible to
take stock absolutely as the result of a
revival, but the visible results to date
are as follows: Professions of faith, 22;
baptisms, 13; approved for baptism, 7;
received by letter and statement, 9; and
besides this there are several more who
have signified that they are going to
unite shortly. Then there was a gen
eral awakening among the saved peo
ple of the town. We are constrained
to believe that Union City is a better
town in which to live since this meet
ing. We believe that Christ has been
magnified; the cross uplifted; the King
dom advanced, and the cause generally
strengthened.

Killed By Burglar.
Clarksdale, Miss., Oct. 10. A. II
Cage, cashier of the Planters' Bank
of this city, was shot and killed by
a burglar In his home in this city
t'hi. mni-tiinp- Mrs. Caee was first
ling w
aroused by the man In her bedroom
and called Mr. Cage.
Mr. Cage arose, unarmed, and con
fronted the robber, who warned him
to keep his distanec, and fired when
he refused. Mr. Cage succeeded in
grappling the man and in the scuffle
was pushed thru the bedroom door,
Mrs. Caee in the meantime having
fired two or three shots In an effort
to frighten the intruder who, ap
parently, then began shooting at
random, several shots narrowly miss
ing Mrs. Cage.
The shot which caused Mr. Cage's
death was fired at close range, as his
body was powder burned and the
bullet ' which entered his right
breast penetrated the body. When
Mr. Cage fell his wife dropped her
weapon and called to his slayer to
go to a front room of the house
where he would find an exit. The
burglar; however, went to a side
room, raised the window and screen.
Shoot Two Cayce Negroes.
The homes of Leonard Williams
and Isaac ..Deering, two Cayce ne-
groeBS, were shot into about 8:30
o'clock Monday night by unknown
parties and both negroes slightly
wounded.
Although the grand jury, in session
at Hickman, is said to have been
Investigating the trouble, it is not
known exactly why the negrose were
thus dealt with. It is, however, re
ported that one of the negroes ac
cused Mrs. Jno. Lusk, a white lady
living hear the Deering negro, of
stealing stove wool, and that his ac
cusation was resented by the Cayce
people. The negro is also reported
to have received a "note Saturday
evening warning him to leave Cayce
and evidently took too much timn
in getting away.
The weapons used were shotguns
The houses of both negroes were
shot into, and the negroes left the
next day.
The Deering negro was the most
severely injured, receiving several
shot in the right leg.
No nightrider arrests have yet
been made. Hickman Courier.
HELPLESS AS BABY
Down in Mind Unable to Work,
and What Helped Her.
Summit Point. W. Va. Mrs. Anna
Belle Emey. of this place, says: "1 suf
fered for 15 years with an awful pain in
my right side, caused from womanly
trouble, and doctored lots for it, but with
out success. 1 suffered so very much.
that I became down in mind, and as help
less as a baby. 1 was in the worst kind
of shape, was unable to do any work.
I began taking Cardui, the womar's
tonic, and got relief from the very first
dose. By the time I had taken 12 bot
tles, my health was completely restored.
1 am now 48 years years old, but feel as
good as I did when only 16.
Cardui certainly saved me from losing
my mind, and I feel it my duty to speak
in its favor. I wish I had some power
over poor, suffering women, and could
make them know the good it would do
them."
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, it will certainly be
worth your while to give Cardui a trial.
It has been heloine weak women for
more than 50 years, and will help you,
too.

investigation. It cannot be disputed.

From Obion County Boy.
i wish you wouia nna place in
your paper to print this message to
my relatives and friends. I was born
in Obion County, Tennessee, in 1871,
Sept. 17, and well do 1 remember my
school days when I lived near old
Fairfield and my schoolmates scat
tered, some are gone to rest and
some are in Tennessee yet and some
can tell that I have seen a lot of this
old world. I have traveled from
Washington, D. C, to Vancouver, B
C, and now I must say I traveled
3,824 miles from Wichita, Kansas, to
this place on a motorcycle. 1 came
thru Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Min
nesota, South Dakota into this coun
try to the Canada line. I have seen
a lot to tell the readers of The Com
mercial.
this is a much different country
than Tennessee. There is lots of
game here, besides this is a great
farming country for wheat rye, oats,
barley, flax and macorina wheat.
Threshing is just now commencing:
here, and we have had four inches
of snow, the 23rd of September, but
all the machines are busy now
threshing. The people do not pay
any attention to Sunday here when
harvest time comes on. There is
lots of game here such as prairie,
chickens, ducks and quails and up
in the mountains there are antilope
deers, elks, bears and bobtail cats.
I must say that this cold weather
is making me wish for a few days of
good weather. It snowed here yes
terday, Oct. 6, and the ground trope
last night and ice a good one-half -inch
thick this morning. I have
postponed my trip around the head
of the Mississippi River that I had
planned out, too cold for me on a
motorcycle. I have ate prairie chick
ens and light bread enough to make
a foot log across the Mississippi at
the broadest place.
