LEGAL NOTICES
FOR STATE SENATOR
To the citizens of Butts County.
As it is your time to choose a state
Senator for the 26th district to serve
for the next 2 years, 1927 and 1928,
I offer myself as a candidate subject
to the democratic nomination to ba
held September Bth, 1926.
Permit me to say this in this con
nection. I have an experience of
four years in the lower house, that
a great many representatives will
be elected to the senate whom 1
already know, that friendship* already
formed would greatly aid me in the
defeat or accomplishment of legisla
tion. If my service in the lower house
is or will be of service to th coun
ty or state and that my conduct
both private and official did not
reflect a discredit on your county
and state I am prepared to say to
you that I am better capacitated to
serve you than at any time since you
have honored me with the most re
sponsible duties of representative.
Therefore I most respectfully ask you
for your support at the September
nomination.
Yours very truly
JOHN L. LYONS.

"QEVERAL years ago I was
badly run-dowu,” says Mrs.
John Bunch, R. F. I). 3, Colum
bia, S. C. "I could not do any
of my work. I was so weak I
could not wash a dish. My back
and aides hurt me at times
dreadfully. I dragged around
until I finally got down in bed.”
Then, explains Mrs. Bunch,
she happened to read about
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and
decided to give it a thorough
trial, the results of which she
describes below:
"It seemed to reach the
cause of my trouble at once.
I did not take it long before
my appetite began to improve.
I gained in weight from 114
pounds until now I weigh 126
pounds. I soon was able to be
up around the house. I took
up my household duties and
was delighted with my return
ing strength.
'T now do all my own work.
The pains in my aides and
back have disappeared and I
feel like a different person.”
Cardui has been helping suf
fering women for nearly 60

FOR JUDGE SUPERIOR COURT
To The Voters of The Flint Judical
Circuit:
I hereby announce my candidacy
for judge of the superior court sub
ject to the regulations governing
the Democratic Primary election to
be held September 8.
An endorsment by the people will
be a great honor which I shall ap

FOR STATE SENATOR
1 hereby announce as a candidate
for State Senator from this district
subject to the rules and results of
the primary to be held in Septem
ber. Your vote and support will be
appreciated.
The subject of good roads is up
permost in the public mind at the
present time and changes are being
suggested, advocated, and some may
in the end prevail. Butts county
is unfortunately situated it seems,
since none of the theories advanced
thus far include Butts in the calcu
lations. This is a gross injustice to
our county as we see it but can
only be remedied at the time any
proposed changes are enacted into
law. After the law is passed it
will then be too late. 1 wnt to be
there when and before any law is
'passed for the purpose of seeing to
it that Butts county is not left out
My experience, alliances and aft'ili
ation with those who will surely di
rect any and all measures along
this line, assures you of a voice that
can and will be heard and results
that will give Butts her due share
of the state’s bounty in the estab
lishment and maintenance of public
roads. This is no idle political ges
ture but a plain statement of the
situation and one that is so real that
4 could not refrain from telling you
about it.
If you vote for and elect me I
promise you that you will get your
full deserts and that in all calcula
tions hereafter,, instead of Butts
being left out of the reckonings, she
will be among the first considered.
