FREDERICKSBURG SHIPS
13 CARS OF PEANUTS
. Fredericksburg, Oct. 12.—Thirteen
ears of peanuts have been shipped
from Fredericksburg within the last
•two weeks. Four of these went to

local merchants and commission men.

two of calves and two of cattle have
left the local yards. The oats and
cattle went to San Antonio, the calves
to Fort Worth.
The best time to put out fruit trees
Is the last of November. Give me your
orders and don’t wait until mid-win-
ter wheR they are likely to get fro-
zen. They take some roots in the win-
ter, best to get them out early. See
me in office over First National Bank,

“My health was in a bad condition
for over a year,” said Mrs. Louise
Lee, 2922 South Main street, Fort
Worth. “I was very nervous and the
least noise upset me. I did not sleep
well at night. I had neuritis in my
shoulders and arms and often found
my housework more than I could do.
My stomach was weak and food fer-
mented causing heartburn and head-
aches. My kidneys were affected and
my back was stiff anl sore all the
time.
“Konjola certainly gave me the sur-
prise of my life. By the time I had
finished the third bottle, my nervous
condition had been righted. Neuritis
pains and soreness have vanished and
there is not a trace of that ailment
now. My food digests perfectly and I
can eat anything I wish. My kidneys
are again normal.”
It is of just such endorsements as
this that the l-eeord of Konjola is
made up. It is recommended for ail-
ments of the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels, .and rheumatism, neuritis
and nervousness.
Konjola is sold in Lampasas at
Mackey’s drug store, and by all the
best druggists in all towns through-
out this entire section.    (w-adv.)
