THE “SOLID SOUTH" GOES DEMOCRATIC

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 6.—-Nine southern states east of the Mississippi river, normally Democratic with the exception of two districts in Tennessee and one in Virginia, returned their usual Democratic majorities. All Democratic senators were elected and to the house seventy-six Democrats and three Republicans were returned. The three Republican representatives come from the First and Second Tennessee districts and the Ninth Virginia district, where Representative Slemp had no opposition.

No Stronger Evidence Can Be Had In Rensselaer. Look well to their record.. What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of future results. Anyone witht a bad hack; any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from i kidney ills, should find comforting words in the following statement. Mrs. Wm. Moore, Elm St., Rensselaer, says: “I suffered from kidney trouble. I had backaches and headaches for a long .time, I had no strength or ambition and couldn’t sleep well. I could hardly turn in bed on account of the lameless in my back. I couldn’t do my housework and I knew that my kidneys were weak. Finally I got Doan’s Kidney Pills and they cured me of all those ailments. I have never had an attack since.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) z On February 29, 1916, Mrs. Moore said: *“I am never without Doan’s in the house. They are the best kidney medicine I know of.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Moore had.

WAR IS OVER ?

Messages From H. R.Kurrieand Chicago Tribune Say Armistice IsSigned Unable to Confirm tbe Report

Associated Press Says Report Is Not Con- ; firmed—Report From Board of Trade Wire at Goodland Says Government Denies Report. Unofficial and unconfirmed reports reaching here say that Germany bows to armistice. Associated Press says report has been denied that the armistice has been signed. President H. R. Kurrie, of Chicago, sent a tejegram to W. H. Beam here saying that Germany had signed the armistice. When the news reached here of the signing of the armistice there was a great demonstration. Whistles were blown, automobile horns and every other object that could be used to make a noise was taxed to its greatest capacity this Thursday afternoon. Germany had been referred by the allies to Marshal Foch, who was to give the terms of the armistice. If the armistice Foch offers is signed by Germany it will be satisfactory to the most pronounced pre-war advocate. Our inquiry to the Associated Press says that the United States government denies that the armistice has been signed. At 1:30 p. m. a board of trade message reports that the government reported that the armistice had not been signed, and that the report was of enough effect to cause January com to raise twenty cents on the market. Whether true or not the war must end in a very short time, and if Germany does not surrender the allies will crush her completely. At 2:00 p. m. the business houses of the city were closed and a parade was being arranged for .3:00 p. m. Great crdwds were soon gathered upon the streets and all wore expressions of delight. The rejoicing is unbounded and universal. Sorrow has been turned to rejoicing and the fond hopes of the return of our soldier boys and the end of the awful war is hailed with unbounded rapture. Our cup is running over with the joy of victory.

John Klinnett went to Ghicago today for a visit with relatives. Everett Warren arid children went to Lafayette today to visit with his mother. Mt. and Mrs. Frank Antrim and Korah Eldridge, of McOoysburg, were in Rensselaer today. - -
