Kimsey for President. (Charlotte Observer.) Representative Champ Clark seems to be at a loss for a Southern man bo run for President. What about the Honorable Kimsey O. Huskey , There is only one man in the North who is in the same class with him, and that is the Honorable Hinkey Dink, of Chicago. k . 4 Pathetic. (Pee Dee Advocate.) It is indeed amusing to see what some writers, who have never been in Marlboro or Cherokee, say. about the sale of liquor in these counties. It is at the same time pathetic to see what lengths the dispensary advo- catets will go to. ^Subscribe for The Ledger; $1 a year. i. 11 — - PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

Beware of Summer Germs Will Ca use Sickness Unless Stomach Mi-o-na. is Strengthened With One tablet of Mi-o-na taken before each meal during the summer months, whenever the stomach is out of order, or the digestion weak, will do more than any other treatment to prevent the diseases caused by germs at this season. If the stomach is weak so that food does not readily digest in it, the food will become a sour, slimy, ferment ing mass in the digestive organs, the ideal condition for germs to cause bowel trouble, diarrhoea, or other summer illness. Mi-o-na wil soothe and heal the ir ritated mucous membrane of the stomach and digestive tract, stimu late the solar plexus, and strength-J is all theirs. on the whole nervous system. This remarkable remedy will make the whole digestive system so healthy, clean and sweet that food cannot ferment, and any disease germs which may enter the stomach will he destroyed. Just one small tablet out of a 50 cent box of Mi-o-na before eating, and you will have no headaches, hack-ache, poor appetite, distress af ter eating, heart-bum, furred tongue, sleeplessness, or general debility. It will tone up the digestive system and give perfect health and strength. Take Mi-o-na now’, and the Gaffney Drug Co. will guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure.
