We wish to thank the Messrs, and Mesdames, R, E. Davis, Rockenbach and George Belcher for their courtsey in extending to us an invitation of eating dinner with them last Saturday.

Robert is alright but he is loaded with the wtong kind of political literature. Neverthdess, we commend him to the keeping of the ladies of Demotte. Girls, be good to him; he is worthy. The Woodmen picnic at Dunn’s Bridge last Saturday was not the success that we had hoped for, yet it can not be called a failure. All that came had a good, social time.

Abe Halleck, while going down the 3-I track last Saturday, broke his wheel and was forced to walk about three miles in order to reach Wheatfield. What troubled Mr. Halleck the worst, was the idea of walking past the residence of the Hon. E. W. Allen, pushing a lame wheel. If he had stopped in, Mr. Allen would have perhaps kil'-d a fatted calf and feasted him and then took him to Wheatfield. He would have had a chance to commune with his successor.

Mansfield’s Sarcasm.

Richard Mansfield known to have very decided notions upon deportment and matters of etiquette, relates the New York Times. With a friend, who is authority for the story, Mr. Mansfield rode up town cn a Broadway car the other afternoon. Both men had seats for a time until at the intersection of a shopping street -the car became crowded with women. Both offered

**l THOUGHT YOU BAID 'THANK YOU.’" their seats to the nearest women. The one who accepted Mr. Mansfield’s courtesy slid into his seat without a word. 'The actor raised his silk hat. “I beg your pardon,* he said slowly. , The woman looked up in surprise. * « *• “I didn’t say anything* she volunteered. r “Pardon me for my mistake,* returned Mansfield in a kindly tofie. “Pardon me, I thought you eaid Thank you!’”

Headache kills, not necessarily suddenly, but surely. It preys upon the intellectual powers more than we realize. It consumes the vitality faster than nature can replenish it, and we cannot tell just whst moment a temporary or complete aberration of the mind will result. Headachp and pain should be promptly removed — but properly. Many pain cures are more harmful than the pain. Beware. If you would be safe, take Mui.- Pain Pills. “As a result of neuralgia I lost the sight of my right eye, and the pain I have Buffered is incomprehensible, being obliged to take opiates almost continually. A friend gave me one Of Dr. Miles’Fain Pills and it promptly relieved me. I then purchased a box and now ray trouble is gone. They have also cured my daughter of nervous headache, and I heartily recommend them to others.”—W. J. Corley. Bremond, Texas. Sold by Druggist*. aj Doses, 25c. Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind.
