Mr. John Hanson Loses His Left Arm
Tuesday Night in the Picker at
Cotton Mill No. 11
Mr. John Hanson, one of the em
ployees at Mill No. 1, of the Cedar
town Cotton Company, lost his left
arm in the picker Tuesday night
about 9 o’cioek.
While supervising the work of the
big picker, his arm got too near the
machinery and his shirt sleeve was
caught in the revolving wheels. The
beater” was making fully 3,000
revolutions a minute, and his arm
was jerked Into the flying machinery
quick as a flash. The member was
broken in several places, and finally
severed completely just above the
elbow.
The wound bled profusely, and
but for (he timely aid of some near
by employees, who quickly corded
the arm near the shoulder, the vic
tim would have bled to death in a
very few fninutes.
Drs. J. A. Liddell and W. A.
Chapman were telephoned and re
sponded promptly. The limb was
dressed, und the patient is doing as
well as could be expected. .
No blame is attached to anyone for
the terrible accident. The occur
rence is just one of those unfortunate
affairs which frequently happens
where high speed machinery is oper-
aled. Mr. Hanson simply allowed
his arm to get loo near Hie machin
ery, with the result nboye men
tioned. His many friends deeply
sympathize with him in this pain
ful accident and serious loss.

Mr. J. T. Garner, of Berry’s, was a
welcome visitor in our sanctum Thurs
day. He requests ns to say, in view of
the reports in circulation as to his con
nection with different tickets for sheriff,
that he has not been, is not and will not
be connected with any ticket for sheriff
this year. Mr. Garner is one of Polk’s
best citizens, and would have brought
great strength to any ticket with which
he would be associated.

Look at your tongue.
Is it coated ?
Then you have a bad
taste in your mouth every
morning. Your appetite
is poor, and food dis
tresses. you. You have
frequent headaches and
are often dizzy. Your
stomach is weak and
your bowels are always
constipated.
There’s an old and re
liable cure:
Don’t take a cathartic
dose and then stop. Bet
ter take a laxative dose
each night, just enough to
cause one good free move
ment the day following.
You feel better the
very next day. Your
appetite returns, your
dyspepsia is cured, your
headaches pass away,
your tongue.clears up,
your liver acts well, and
your bowels no longer
give you trouble.

Mother's Friend equips the patient with a
strong body and clear intellect, which in
turn are imparted to the child. It relaxes
*he muscles and allows them to expand. It
relieves morning sickness and nervousness,
ft pats all the organs concerned in perfect
condition for the final hour, so that the actual
labor is short and practically painless. Dan
ger cf rising or hard breasts is altogether
avoided, and recovery is merely a matter of
a few days.
