WE~ feel real sorr-y for somel suppose to-be Demnocr-atic newspaper-s and po cians. Mr. Bryan has refused Op)pose tihe aidministrationi in this w because he is a patriot and1 loves I country more than he loves oflice. I opponlents had hoped he would join t paciflsts and slackers and thus gi them a chance to kill him political again. The Colonel has been killed th way s0 often that lhe has become ir mnune to it. DIIOR'S aovr sPN Qur wife is gone. Gone to visit our mother-in-law. Gone back to the old borne and the real cream. Back to the old oaken bucket and mud pies of mem ory. We are not saying this to make other men envious whose wives are not gone. But it, is sort of a whistle to keep up courage. For a long time the opportunity to hang out all night and make a monkey of ourselves has looked good. Now, with no restraint on our conduct, no tearful wife waiting to throw her hooks into our hair, no'one to lie to, nobody to pacify with artful in ventions, no person to care a whoop whether we go to the bughouse or not, now that the very hour and moment is pregnant with witchery and our horo scope is psychologically correct for' a period of debauchery, we get to sleep at 8.30 and mope off to bed like a mollusk. It is enough to drive an unostenta tious drinker to the Keeley institute. Solo bath lost its charms and highballs are a mockery. We now pass up as natural the hundred or so disreputable things that a few days ago seemed so entrancing. If things had planned out as anticipated we would be an actor in the jollificntion drama instead of its plhawright A GOOD PRINTER lr. Lewis iurtnett left Pickens Sun day for Ilopewell. Va., where he goes to join his wife and two sons and they will make their home there. Mir. -urt nett has been a printer on The Sentinel for the past four years and we greatly regret to give him up. He is not only a good printer, but the steadiest one we ever saw, and a gentlemia with it. lie is also endowed with that rare but happy faculty of attending to his own atfairs and letting other people attend to theirs. The best wishes of The Sen tinel are with Mr. 3urtnett at all times and wherever he may be. CAPPS-GILSTRAP. Miss Beulah Capps and Mr. Morris Gilstrap were married at the resi dence of and by J. 13. Newherv on Sunday afternoon, October 7.The bride was most becomingly dressed in blue and white. Inlmediatel - after the ceremony the happy couil e hur ried to the home of the bridegroom's parents, where a bountiful repast was awaiting them. Only a few friends and relatives were present. The bride is a charming young lady of the Cross Itoads section and the bridegroom is a splendid young man of the George's Creek community. Both have many friends who are offering congriatula tlim..

" The Southern Sen [iy -, M. E. Chuich's .Pastor Praises' Iron, Remedy Doctors Had Almost Given His . Daughter Up to Die -No One Thought She Could Live. WAS A LIVING SKELETON 4 Through Use of Acid Iron Min- 4 eral Daughter Was Restored * to Health, Says Rev. 4 C. B. Newton. O m The following tribute to a medicine from Reverend Doctor 0. B. Newton, 4 Pastor M. E. Church, speaks volumes 4 for the medicinal value of natural iron as it is now concentrated, tested, snd bottled by the Ferrodine Chemi- 4 ral .Corp. under the nam- of Acid Iron Mineral. Ile said: I "My little girl suffered from gastri Lis, acute lBright's disease, and level op'd symptoms of pellagra. For sev eral months she was an invalid and 4 reduced almost to a skeleton. No one who saw her thought she could possi bly live. The best medical skill avail- 4 able was applied but with no results. She only grew worse until physiciaslis told us not to b.e surprised at her 4 death at any time. Our attention was first Lalled to a kidney and ,bladder pill and we gave her part of one fifty- 4 (eet bottle, after which we gave her 4 .\e id Iron Mineral regularly. She is now well and has all her faculties well 4 developed again and you would not guess she had ever had a sick day in her life by her appearance. We have 4 recomnhIUel(ded A-I-M to several 4 friends and do most heartily recom--( mend it to anyone suffering from any O trouble which it claims to relieve." 4 Respectfully, (signed) O. 13. Newton, Pastor M. E. Church, South, Chatham 4 Va. Unlike many prepared remedies containing iron, Acid Iron Mineral does not. act as a -laxative, but the 4 necessity of keeping the liver and bowels working normally being so ap parent, the Ferrodine Chemical Corp. 4 puts up an A-I-M Liver Pill in 25c boxes which are recommended as E part of the treatment when using - Acid iron Mineral. These little pills are the best we can .recommend and are very inexpensive. Note:-Acid Iron Mineral is just a bhhly concentrated form of natural medicinal iron, non-alcoholic and very ectonomical. Whole families should take it. It never injui-es the teeth, vues from two to six times as far and is many times more powerful and ef licient than other inferior prepara tions. A half teaspoonful in a tumbler of water after meals makes a delight ful, invigol'ating and most unusual tonic, stomach, kidney, and bladder regulator. Cleansing the blood, en riching and purifying it, watch how quickly the appetite increases and the user gains weight. Most dlruggists sell Acid Iron Mineral in both a large and small size bottle. Get a bottle to day. I did t. Foolish thing I aanbe - Pd like to edli t~ 5o it w'ould erll themy We've Quit. J1ou rnalI antd Reviewv.
