Weak and Tired. U>l “ Do you suppose your Vino! would do me any good ? ” said a woman customer the other day. “ I just drag round. My work seems an awful burden.” “ I think Vinol will help you,” said our clerk. “ Our folks at home use it. We have such faith in it that we will pay the money back If it doesn’t help you.” She took a bottle of Vinol home and has since bought another bottle. Vinol was sold last year on the same guarantee. How many “ refunds ” were there, do you think ? Less than two per cent. In other words, Vinol did successful work in ninety-eight cases out of 100. For two great classes, those who can’t seem to gain strength, and those who are tired at nothing, we say: “Try Vinol on our guarantee.” CHEROKEE DRUG CO DKUGU18TS. Mail Orders Supplied, S«itfe.

Box 304. | A charming street costume of tan and brown mixed suiting is here de picted. The jacket and skirt are cut in sections, each section piped with brown velvet and handsomely trim med with ecru cloth applique. The vest, which is cut with a standing collar, is made of pale biscuit em broidered cloth and is edged with brown, blue and black galloon. A wide velvet girdle comes around the waist. Particular attention is called to the sleeve which forms a wide flare over a puff of biscuit peau de soie. All machine stitchings must be care fully done, and for this purpose Cor* ticelli stitching silk is usually em ployed. No material looks better and lasts longer than a good covert cloth, and for an extra garment to be worn with any kind of a walking costume, there is no more sensible purchase. Very mannish and smart is a three-quarter length coat of this material made with a loose back, fly front, velvet collar and a lining to the waist of satin serge in the next shade darker.

Scruggs, Isaac Duncan, John Hill and R. G. Byars were engaged in recovering Mr. R. C. Thomson’s residence on Race street, when, between three and four o’clock p. m., the scaffold gave way and Messrs. Spake, Scruggs and the Duncans, fell a distance of sixteen feet to the ground. Mr. Spake had his right leg broken and received internal injuries which caused him intense suffering. Mr. Walter Duncan bad no bones broken but received serious internal injuries about the hips, which cailsed great buffering. Mr. Scruggs was painfully hurt but his injuries are not thought to be serious. Mr. Isaac Duncan also escaped without serious injury, and Messrs Hill and Byars held on to the building and escaped without injury. Drs. Steedly and Jefferies were summoned and were soon with the unfortunate men and rendered them every possible assistance and soon had them placed on improvised cots and carried to their homes where other physicians came in and contin ued their efforts to relieve them. Yesterday morning all were com paratively comfortable and receiving every attention that physicians, loving families and friends could be- stow. __ A Reverent Roy. In one of our city families, where religious precept and example are the directing forces and love the ruling one, there is is a little five- year-old boy, who impressed by the former and made loving and lovable by the latter, while at the table a few days ago asked for some bread and not being furn-isbed with it as promptly as he thought his impor tance in the family demanded, he firmly but not irrevently said, “Give me some bread for Christ sake amen.” He got the bread and all his orders are now promply obeyed by every member of the family. More Big Vegetable*. Wednesday Dick Corry. colored, beiog actuated by hearing of the numerous big turnips and potatoes that have been on exhibition in dif ferent newspaper offices this fall, brought to The Ledger office three radishes of his last spring crop wAich had been allowed to pass the summer in the patch.
