"I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re
ceived from the use of Thedford's Black-Draught," writes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
"It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl's life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford's
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. I shall never be without
S
s
in my home." For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizzi
ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar
?gj? ailments, Ti.edford's Black-Draught has proved itself a safe,
iga reliable, gentle and valuable remedy.
@ If you suffer from any of these complaints, try Black- 0
j? Draught. It is a medicine of known merit. Seventy-five Jj
2 years of splendid success proves its value. Good for M
yount? and old. For sale everywhere. Pr [ce 25 cents.

ALL NAMES APPEARING ARE

SMALL PER CENT.
First Dey of Investigation Sec mc
to Indicate Small Number ai
Qualified Voters. ,
While no official announcement has
peen mude hy thu county supervisor;
ar the committee cn ava: sing the
names on the petitions asking tor au
election on the question of dispensary
jr no dispensary, lt ls rumored that
the committee is finding that only 55'
per cent of names are of qualified vo
ters! Since there are a few less than
1.900 qualified names on the petition,
ls is almost an assured fact that the
required number of qualified voters
liave not affixed their signatures, and
tho election, therefore will not be or
lered.
The committee members have gono
ibout the mattel of checking the
names in a systematic manner, and
\re. making soin? progress. It was ne
L-esary to arrange the names alpha
betically, and that required some
time. But this has been done and the
.lucking har gone down the alphabet
some way.
It is understood that the pro-dispen
sary people aie cognizant nf the ro
ulis being obtained in thc checking
)f the names and it ia said that a rnove
Is now- oh foot to secure the election
in another manner. A rumor is now
ltloot to thc effect that each can
1 ida!e for Ute general assembly this
summer will bc asked on the slump
if he will pledge himself to secure a
special act next January ordering an
election for Anderson county.
