CAPTURED LOAD WHISKEY
Sheriff Z. T. Elliott is becoming a
detective or his experience is creating
something of an intuition which en
ables him to suspect the presence of
liquor. Sunday night he saw a beau
tiful Biiick Roadster standing quietly
in front of the Barnesville Tfotel.
It was a beautiful but an unsuspect-j
ing looking car, but Sheriff Elliott j
became suspicious. He got in touch
with Chief W. S. Reviere and made
known his suspicions. A search war
rant was obtained and soon there was
something doing. They had a lively
experience for a while but soon had
taken charge of the car, which was
found to contain about 125 quarts of
liquor, obtained in Jacksonville, Fla.
The man to whom the car belonged
lived, according to his statement, in
Ohio. He made bond* and Monday 1
left for his home on the train.
Sheriff Elliott became very popu-1
lar wffien it became known of his raid
but he has locked up all the liquor in
jail and i3 awaiting further disposi
tion of the liquor and the car.
These officers: certainly did a nice
piece of work and they have been
heartily congratulated because of it.

FORD RETAIL SALES *
MAKE NEW RECORD
Company Reports Total Sales Have
Reached 5,709 Machines A Day.
Harris Alotor Cos., local dealer for
Ford Motor Cars and Trucks. Ford
son Tractors and Lincoln Alotor Cars,
is just in receipt of the following in
formation from the Home Office of
the Ford Alotor Company at Detroit.
,in which we are certain all of our
readers will be interested:
Retail sales of Ford Cars; Trucks
and Tractors established anew high
record during June when, according
to a statement issued from the Ford
factory at Detroit, an average of
5,709 machines were sold daily.
Ford sales have been showing a
constant increase each month this
year, June being the highest in the
history of the company with a total
of 148,439 cars, trucks and tractors.
Of this number 0354 were sold by
the Ford Company of Canada and
9,435 by the various European Ford
Companies and South American
branches, reaching purchasers in
practically every civilized country in
the world.
With the closing of business for
! June, Ford records disclosed the fact
that total sales for the first six
months of 1922 were well over the
half-million mark, the exact figures
being 652.261. This is new
high record as it is considerably in
advance of any previous half-year,
period.
July Ford sales are expected to
equal, and probably eclipse June.
The estimate output of cars, trucks
'and tractors has been placed at 151,-

sitioned more than 200,000.
Ford officials state that every at
tempt has been made to supply their
dealers with sufficient cars to fill
their orders, but that for the past
three months prompt deliveries have
been impossible with some of the
tfpis. The demand for Ford en
closed cais has been especially hard
to meet, due to the ever-increasing
popularity of the coupe and sedan
for all-year round use.
A reflection of general business
conditions is seen in the record of
Ford truck sales, which show an in
crease of eighty-four per cent, over
last year. Alerehants and farmers
alike have come to recoginze the
utility of the motor truck in cutting
transportation costs and speeding up
deliveries, and the fact that they are
buying nearly twice as many now as
a year ago clearly points to better
business conditions.
At the present time, Ford is em
ploying 75,000 men in Detroit.—Adv.

CALOMEL USERS
TAKF AWFUL RISK
VERY NEXT DOSE OF TREACH
EROUS DRUG MAY START
TERRIBLE SALIVATION.
The next dose of calomel you take
may salivate you. It may shock your
fiver or start bone necrosis. Calo
mel is dangerous. It is mercury,
quicksilver. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put into
| your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just
go to your druggist and get a bot
tle of Dodson’s Liver Tone for a
few cents which is a harmless vege
table substitute for dangerous calo
mel. Take a spoonful and if it
doesn’t start your liver and straight
en you up better and quicker than
nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get
your money.
Don’t take calomel! It can not be
trusted any more than a leopard or a
wild-cat. Take Dodson’s Liver Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you feel fine. No salts neces
sary. Give it to the children be
cause it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate.
Cigars of the best quality are made
entirely by hand, the tedious work
of rolling them being relieved.
