Delightful Dinner.
Mrs. Jim Blackwell has returned
from Wynnewood, Okla.. where she
has been visiting her daughter. Mrs.
L. L. Savage, who returned with her
for a visit and to attend the picnic
and reunion. We had the pleasure
of eating an old fashioned picnic
dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell
and children on the picnic grounds
Thursday. As we had eaten with
these good people before, we knew
what was In store for ub when they
sent us word to come down and eat
with them. The best fried chicken,
home made light bread, cakes, pies,
pickles, honey, jam, salads, etc. that
a hungry editor ever had the pleas-
ure of devouring. We appreciated
the opportunity of eating with them.
ARCH-BOOTLEGGER
Butch Evans, who was arrested
at Seminole, Oklahoma, about two
weeks ago, and brought back to Mc-
Kinney and placed In jail to answer
a charge of pursuing the occupation
of selling intoxicating liquors, has
been released on bond in the sum
of $2,000. Evans, who lived at
Farmersville, left there about two
years ago, ostensibly for Mexico and
South America, but located in Okla-
homa, where he was arrested and
held for Collin county**offlcers, The
record shows that there are thirty-
eight cases against Evans. One
case charging him with pursuing
the occupation of selling Intoxicating
llquore, was filed against him In
district court.
IN NORTH DAKOTA.
J. J. Miller Writes of Impressions of
Far North.
Miss Nellie Biggs and little broth-
er, Johnny, of Wylie, are visiting at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Van
Brown.
J. J. Miller of Melissa is in the far
north, on a prospecting trip with a
view to moving his threshing ma-
chine up there.. This editor receiv-
ed a note from him dated at Harvey,
North Dakota. He said that har-
vesting was just in progress and
threshing would begin In a week or
ten days. Wheat, oats, barley, rye
and flax, all grow there and are good
crops this year. Harvey is a little
town of 2,500, but has thirteen ele-
vators. It is a great grain country.
There are some lakes in that coun-
try and all are covered with ducke,
fowl that elicits little attention on
account of their great numbers. The
fields are full of prairie chickens.
The climate is cool and pleasant for
summer and J. J. says that he never
felt better In his life. Thermometer
was down to 40 Sunday, Aug. 11.
Average temperature is 55—Just
right for work. Mr. Miller Is ,a big
farmer and has a fine big new
home. He Is a machinist and
thresherman. He had a big season’s
run In Denton this year, after which
he wont north on his present trip,
which he seema to be greatly enjoy-
ing. But we suspect the arctic win-
ter weather that prevails up there
about nine out of every twelve
months would soon freeze J. J. out
and he Is now seeing North Dakota
at Its best from a climatic and ev-
ery other standpoint.

It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's
tonic. She says further: "Before 1 began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, 1 began to feel like a new woman. 1 soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.

TAKE THIS MAN’S ADVICE
TRY THE GREAT KIDNEY
REMEDY
B. F. Avery & Son’s
J. W. Johnson of Weston, route J,
one of the efficient trustees of the
Lone Star school, was a visitor at
the picnic here Thursday. '
It always gives me pleasure to rec-
ommend anything that is right and
so I feel it my duty to herald the
praises of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root.
For years I was troubled with kid-
ney disease and it was so intense
thatl was bedridden for days at a
time. I gave up all hope and doc-
tors for miles around gave me no
help. Incidentally I tried several pat-
ent remedies and at last tried
Swamp-Root. From the first it gave
me relief and It was no time before
I was able to be up and around and
now I am perfectly well and able to
work as I used to before my terrible
sickness.
So now let me thank you for your
wonderful discovery and take this
oportunlty to recommend It to all
who suffer from kidney troubles.
Yours very truly,
WALTER SHIVER,
Hope, Ark.

FOR SALE
Sheriff A. T. Robertson Thursday
morning arrested Jim Neely at his
home near Chambersville on the
charge of theft of a bicycle. Neely
was brought to McKinney and placed
in jail.
It will be remembered that on
Aug. 9, Tom McDaniel, son of Mr.
and Mrs. T. M. McDaniel, left his
new Laclede bicycle In front of the
Iqterurban station for a few minutes
A man approached the young fel-
low and asked who the wheel be-
longed to. Tom replied that it was
his. The man then asked for the
privilege to ride the wheel to the
depot, stating that he had to meet a
train. Tom refused to grant him
the use of his wheel, and as a result
the man took the wheel without
Tom’s consent, and the last the
youngster saw of his wheel, the man
was going at a rapid rate of speed
several hundred feet east of the de-
pot.
Sheriff Robertson had Tom to ac-
company him to the Chambersville
community, and the boy identified
his wheel. After arriving at Neely’s
home the sheriff saw bicycle tracks
leaving the house going east. He
followed the tracks apd when he ar-
rived at Melissa, a young man was
just getting on the wheel to return
home. But the young man proved
to be d brother to the one who had
stolen the wheel. Sheriff Robertson
returned to the home and arrested
the right party. Neely made no
statement further than that he had
purchased the wheel from a boy in
McKinney. Tommy now has his
wheel and is indeed a very happy
kid.
Calomel was for years the only
known medicine that would stimu-
late the liver. But calomel is often
dangerous and people are not to be
blamed for being afraid of it.
Within the last few years many
medicines have been put out to be
used Instead of calomel, but tlw
effect is on the bowels—not on tl
liver. Angus Hunter’s drug stoj._
says that the only real liver medi-
cine to actually take the place of cal-
omel is Dodson’s Liver Tone, a mild,
harmless vegetable liquid that An-
gus Hunter recommends to take
the place of calomel and which gives
prompt relief in cases of constipa-
tion, biliousness and sluggish liver.
So confident Is Angus Hunter that
he gives his personal guarantee with
every 50 cent bottle of Didsoii’s
Liver Tone. 1 You can be sure that
you are getting Dodson’s by ask-*1
ing at this store of they are giving
you the medicine they personally
guarantee to refund money on if un-
satisfactory.

A gallon of paint in the can 1b of

Now reckon its cost and value.
The secret is; one paint goes
twice as far as another. A good one
goes twice as far as a bad one.
You have a job, say an average
job. It’ll take 10 gallons Devoe and
