Rank Foolishness.
“When attacked by a cough

any other medicine than Dr,
King’s New Discovery,” says C.
O. Eldridge, of Empire, Ga. “1
have used New Discovery seven
years and I know it is Che best
remedy on earth for coughs and
colds, croup and all throat and
lung troubles. My children are
subject to croup, but New Dis¬
covery quicklj cures every at¬
tack.” Known the world
as the King of throat and
remedies. Sold under
tee at Arrowood and Rouse’s
store. 50c. and $1.00. Trial bot
tie free.
The little folks have enjoyed
numerous parties during the
Holidays and also the “grown¬
ups” were delightfully enter¬
tained with dances and every¬
body has been having a good
time. All these social functions
have passed off very quiteiy and
without any boisterous conduct.
Always have Kennedy’s Laxa¬
tive Cough Syrup handy, espe¬
cially for the children. It tastes
nearly as good as maple sugar.
It cures the cold by gently mov¬
ing the bowels through its laxa¬
tive principle, and at the same ir
time it is soothing for throat
l Ration, thereby stopping the
iough. There is nothing as good.
