The State of Texas.
To the Sheriff or any Constable of
Houston County—Greeting:
You are hereby commanded to
summon the heirs of John C. Dun-
nagan, deceased, whose names* are
unknown, the heirs of G. W. Parks,
deceased, whose names are un-
known, to be and appear at the
next regular term of the District
Court of Houston County, to be held
at the courthouse thereof in the
city of Crockett, on the second Mon-
day in October, A. D. 1914, being
the 12th day of October, A. D. 1914,
then and there to answer a petition
filed in said court on the 16th day
of May, A. D. 1914, in a cause num-
bered 5508, wherein D. McKalvia is
plaintiff and the unknown heirs of
John C. Dunnagan, deceased, and
the unknown heirs of G. W. Parks,
deceased, are defendants, the cause
of action being alleged as follows:
That plaintiff is the owner in fee
simple and is seized and possessed
of the following tract or parcel of
land, to-wit: One hundred and sixty
acres of land, situated in Houston
County, Texas, about 514 miles
north from Crockett, by virtue of
Land Scrip No. %, issued by the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office on the 2nd day of March,
1854, being the John C. Dunnagan
survey, bounded and described as
follows: Beginning 250 varas from
the S W corner of J. Box's league a
stake whence a black jack 5 in. dia.
brs N 53 W 4 varas, another bears S

ory 13 in. dia. brs S 24/2 W 18 7-10

ner from which a black jack 6 in.

black jack brs N 86 W 12 varas.

varas to the place of beginning,
bearings marked D.
Plaintiff claims title to said land
under and through certain convey-
ances which are fully set forth and
described in plaintiff's petition.
Plaintiff further represents that
he and those under and through
whom he claims title have had
peaceable and adverse possession of
the above described tract of land,
cultivating, using and enjoying the
same and paying all taxes thereon
under deeds fully registered for a
period of more than five years next
before the commencement of this
suit and this he is ready to verify,
and he expressly claims title to said
land under the statute of limita-
tions of five years.
Plaintiff further alleges that he
and those under whom he claims
title, claiming to have a good and
perfect title thereto, have had and
held peaceable, adverse possession
of the above described premises,
cultivating, using and enjoying the
same for a period of more than ten
years next before the commence-
ment of this suit and this he is
ready to verify, and he expressly
claims title to said land under the
statute of limitations of ten years.
The fact that there is no deed
from John C. Dunnagan or his heirs
or legal representatives to W. J.
Weyland or any one else and the
fact that there is no deed from G.
W. Parks to said land and the
further fact that the defendants are
setting up and asserting some kind
of title to said land creates and
causes a cloud on plaintiff's title
thereto which he desires to have
removed.
Wherefore plaintiff sues and
prays that on hearing he have
judgment removing all clouds from
his title to said land and that he
be quieted in his title and possession.
You are further commanded to
serve this citation by publishing
the same once in each week for
eight successive weeks previous to
the return day hereof, in a news-
paper published in your county; but
if no newspaper is published in said
county, then in the nearest county
where a newspaper is published.
Herein fail not, but have you be-
fore said court, on the said first day
of the next term thereof, this writ
with your return thereon showing
how you have executed the same.
Witness John D. Morgan, Clerk
of the District Court of Houston
County, Texas.
Given under my hand and the
seal of said court in the city of
Crockett, this the 16th day of May,
A. D. 1914. John D. Morgan, Clerk,
District Court, Houston County,

If Kidneys and Bladder Bother Then
Foley Kidney Pills.
Overworked kidneys will break
down if not helped. When they
can no longer protect the blood and
the body from the poisons that
come to them, then look out for
Bright's disease, serious kidney
trouble and bladder annoyances.
Foley Kidney Pills are your best
protection, your best medicine for
weak, sore, overworked kidney and
bladder weaknesses.—W. A. King,
successor to I. W. Sweet. Adv.
A Good Investment.
W. D. Magli, a well known mer-
chant of Whitemound, Wis., bought
a stock of Chamberlain's medicine
so as to be able to supply them to
his customers. After receiving
them he was himself taken sick and
says that one small bottle of Cham-
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy was worth more to
him than the cost of his entire
stock of these medicines. For sale
by all dealers. Adv.
COULD SCARCELY
WALK ABOUT
And For Three Summers Mrs. Vin-
cent Was Unable to Attend to
Any of Her Housework.
Pleasant Hill, N. C.—"I suffered for
three summers," writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, "and the third and
last time, was my worst.
1 had dreadful nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk about. Could not do any of my
housework.
1 also had dreadful pains in my back
and sides and when one of those weak,
sinking spells would come on me, 1
would have to give up and lie down,
until it wore off.
I was certainly in a dreadful state of
health, when 1 finally decided to try
Cardul, the woman's tonic, and 1 firmly
believe 1 would have died if I hadn't
taken it.
After I began taking Cardul, 1 was
greatly helped, and all three bottles re-
lieved me entirely.
I fattened up, and grew so much
stronger in three months, J felt like an-
other person altogether."
Cardul is purely vegetable and gentle-
acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonic
effect, on the womanly constitution.
Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner-
vous system, and helps to make pale,
sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy.
Cardui has helped more than a million
weak women, during the past 50 years.
It will surely do for you, what it has
done for them. Try Cardui today.
