Perhaps the most disappointing feature in the selection of a senator was the fact that all could not be chosen. Political disappointment is a little bit harder than most any other kind, and for this reason the tenderness of sympathy goes out to all those who tried but couldn’t. This is especially true of Mr. Kern, whose bitter disappointment seems to be as keen as it is bitter. There is not a progressive business man in Decatur but who will agree with us in the contention that the opportune time to improve the advertising medium is at a time when there is not much doing in the sale of merchandise. It is then that, the adver-

tisers realize the value of the col-

umns of a paper which reaches the hofmes of the very people with whom they deal, and suffice it to say, the announcements are read and reread by those anticipating purchases of goods, that they may be fully informed as to style, quality and price. Now that the holiday rush and Inventories are complete or the latter at least partially so, It Is high time that the merchants assume the aggressive—reach out for business and not sit Idly by expecting the people to get hunches from unseen sources, that now Is the time, Decatur the town and your store the place, to buy. Tho shrewd merchant, the progressive one, knows when to advertise and where.

HE WANTS PARDON Attorneys of John W. Terrell Will Ask Gov. Marshall for Pardon HANLY REFUSED IT When Requested by Levi Mock —A Complicated Case That an attem;' will be made to get Governor Marshall to pardon John W. Terrell is now almost positive. Such an attempt, it has developed,was made while J. Frank Hanly was still governor and after Terrell had been brought back to this city, but Mr. Hanly could find nothing in the statutes which he thought would justify him in granting the pardon. Hon. Levi Mock, who was one of Terrell’s attorneys during the first trial here, called on Mr. Hanly and asked ihm to grant the pardon, stating that >n his opinion Terrell is insane and could never be given a trial. Mr. Hanly replied that although he thought Terrell had ought to be pardoned, he did not think he had the right to grant the pardon until there was a conviction. He held that as a new trial had been granted the old case was wiped out and it was the same as starting over. He said that if Mr. Mock could show him a precedent where an act of this kind had been done he would grant the pardon. Mr. Mock called attention to the Powers case in Kentucky, but Mr. Hanly said he did not believe the constitutions were the same. It is the general opinion that this is the reason the defense has been resting easy. The attorneys have been hoping that Governor Marshall would have a different opinion. —Bluffton Banner.

THE CAUSE OF COLDS. Good Advice Regarding the Prevention of Coughs and Colds. If people would only property fortify and strengthen their sytem. about 98 per cent of coughs, colds and pneumonia might be avoided. These troubles are simply the result of weakness, which produces a catarrhal condition of the mucous membrane, which is as an internal skin of the body. When this skin is weakened, it becomes infected with germs which are carried through the system by the blood. These parasites attack and break these delicate tissues and set up a soreness which produce what is in reality an external scrofula. The only thing that will cure coughs and colds and prevent pneumonia is a medication which is absorbed and carried by the blood so that the diseased membrane is disinfected, cleaned. soothed and healed. We have a remedy which we honestly believe infallible and unsurpassable for the prevention and cure of coughs, colds and all catarrhal conditjons. It is the prescription of a famous physician. who has an enviable reputation o' thirty years of cures gained through the use of this medicine. We promise to either effect a cure In every case or make no charge for the medicine. We urge everybody in Decatur who has need of such a medicine to try Rexall Mucu-Tone. It stands to reason that we could not afford to make such statements and give our own personal guarantee to this remedy if we were not absolutely positive that we could substantiate our claim in every particular, and we see no reason why anyone should hesitate to accept our offer and try it. We have two sizes of Rexall Mu-cu-Tone. Prices 50c. and 11.00. Sometimes a 50c. bottle is sufficient for a cure. As a general thing, the most chronic case is cured with an average of three large bottles. Remember, the medicine will cost you nothing if you are not satisfied in every particular. The Smith.
