Wc acci dently saw ua advertisement of Dr. Wiles' New Heart Cure and Restorative Nervine, and purchased a bottle of each. After t aking the remedies a week, I could be lifted in a chair and sit up an hour, and in a short time I was able to do light house work. I shall be evergratefuj to you for your wonderful medicines.

Gardner, of Allgood, was here Friday. Mr. Gardner says he is nu- tral on tho new county question. He added, however, that the people in Ins section were about equally di vided. Mr. Gardner lives near the proposed line and therefore could not be benelitted as much as some other people by having a now county. He admitted that it would thing for some people. J. A. Haines, of Asbury, was hero Friday. Mr. Hames is a new county man. He said to Lkdgeh reporter: “Nearly everybody in my neighbor hood is for the new county. There are a few Juot below me, near tho proposed line, who oppose it, but I am certain it is safe as a. large per cent, are in favor of it.” J. W. Sparks, of Asbury, was in the city Friday. To a Lkdcjeu re porter he said; “The majority of the people in my section are in favor of a new county. One reason why I support it is because I live too far from Union. It is necessary for me to cross tho river and I have to go sometimes whether I want to or not. Sometimes the river is up and it is a great inconvenience to go. I had to go one time when the river was up and I was compelled to ride twenty- four miles out of my way going and coming—twelve miles each way. I believe the new county is the proper thing and I want it.” \V. J. 1‘ridmore, of Gowdeyvillo, was here Saturday. Mr. Fridmore called on The Ledger while in the city.
