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 I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, i began to feel like anew woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when 1 feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women far more than fifty years.

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE, MAY 18, t*l6.
HORSE TRADERS’ WEDDING.
Out in the woods near “Overtood” As
one of the spring camps of the “Horse
Traders,” as they caM themselves. For
many years they have been camping
each spring on the edge of Carters
ville, with a varying number of wag
ons, and the negro men who have been
with them before. Not “Gypsies” as
they are often called; they are thrifty
Irish families, who pay their way in
the world, as our merchants can testi
fy, and are respectable people whose
neighbors are absolutely safe from
molestation. The Sherlock., Carioll,
Riley and O’Hara families, with a few
Gormans, were the group this year,
but with the word of a wedding to take
place, many more came to join the
band.
In one of the teats Last Saturday
morning, a girl of seventeen with,
gray eyes, and black hair sat ready
for her bridal; with the curtains
tightly drawn and the hot sun beating
upon the roof, it was difficult to see
how she could go on with the plan of
letting the women of the band come
in to see her before she left the tent.
With an undenslip of pink satin cover
ed by embroidered tul’He, her veil was
held by lilies of the valley more of
which rested upon her breast.
Father Kennedy of the church of
the Immaculate Conception in Atlanta
was waiting to perform the ceremonj
for Rosy Carroll and John Sherlock
as he had done for other members of
the band.
An unusually large tent had its
floor covered with a carpet, and an
improvised altar stood before the rear
wall, while all the other sides were
neatly rolled up and great sprays of
privet blooms bung from the roof. Out
from her seclusion came the bride ac
companied by a stall prettier girl as
her bridemaid. In front of the waiting
priest stood the bridegroom, whose
responses showed the fact that he,
like the bride was decidedly shy in
the presence cf so many spectators.
The brief ceremony was soon over and
the sunny-faced clergyman wished
them a long life of happiness. But
there was a wedding dinner to follow.
Long tables had been waiting for sev
eral hours and at a sii'gnail from some
one in authority, the gentlemen who
had come as invited guests were seat
ed with their hosts, the genial traders,
and the groaning table soon showed
the effect of the appreciation of the
guests.
The bride and groom were seated
last, and the mournful bride eatinig al
most nothing, but Mr. Tinsley, Capt.
Anderson, Dr. Griffin and his wife, Mr.
N. N. Granger and several others were
able to do full justice to the tempting
fruit. Those of us who were behind
the scenes knew that most of the food
had been especially prepared in At
lanta and the three beautiful bride
cakes were only a small item in the
large amount of supplies furnished.
Many whoiie hams were carried away
untouched and cakes remained in
theiir boxes for the meal which was to
follow at night and again the next day.
A note of sadness had come among
the members of the band, for a tele
phone had brought.the word that one
of their companions, a beautiful young
woman, was probably dying in Atlanta
of pneumonia. Ten automobiles fulfil of
members of the band from Cedartown
camp and from Atlanta had come to
the wedding and hastened away very
quickly at the close of the meal, some
not even touching because of the sad
news.
But one of the matrons said to the
writer: “If you write this up, please
tell people that we are good people
and respectable,” and I assured her
that I could truthfully say they were
after these twelve years of finding
them absolutely honest.
One of the guests from a distance
was a young matron, Mrs. Izando, who
had come from Texas to attend the
funerall services held early in the week
at Nashville, where her sister was
buried. Her beauty of face, form and
carriage would have attracted atten
tion anywhere.
The traders have most of them gone
for they had found that the long con
tinued dry w r eather which our excel
lent farmers are using for plowing ha.
kbpt the farmers from and
trading as they otherwise would have
done, for in other years the band has
left Cartersville feeling rewarded as
far as the money received was con
cerned.
TRIPPE AND JOHNSON APPEAR
TO BE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.
Quite a considerable amount of com
ment has been heard recently as t.)
who will represent Bartow county in
the next general assembly. Two names
appear to be used on each and every
occasion when the question is brought
up, and these are W. D. Trippe, of
Taylorsvlle, and M. L. Johnson, of
C.a@s Station. It now appears that
these two gentlemen will likely go as
representatives from Bartow unop
posed, and in this event Bartow county
will continue to have able representa
tion in the legislature, and her inter
ests will be looked after by men of in
telligence and business ability of t e
highest order.

We were unable on last Sunday to
finish our collection for furnace and
other improvements on the church.
But there is no reason why this mat
ter may not be closed up on the last
Sunday in this month, and our ther
mometer come down.
Of course we are not going to let
this matter fail. Then why not do it
at once ?
If all who are interested in the
work will arise and act, the thing is
done.
If any one has not yet made a sub
scription and desires to help in this
most important enterprise see Jim
Knight, Dr. Adair, Oscar Peeples or
Wilber Ham, members of the canvas
sing committee. If any would like to
increase their subscriptions see the
committee above mentioned.
Let everybody get busy and com
plete the canvass by the fourth Sun
day. The first of .Tune should sea the

Respectully,
JOHN G. LOGAN.
