Well, Here They Are
Our 1924-25 Bargain Offers
AFTER much wrestling with the other publishers we are able to' an
nounce what we believe to be the best list of clubbing combinations
ever offered by a Southern farm newspaper, at prices which represent a dis
tinct saving to every subscriber.
When we began these negotiations, it appeared that all prices would be
much higher this year than previous.
Yet when we got down to talking about our ability to produce a big
volume of business for other papers, some of the publishers saw the light and
at the last minute made price reductions which make our clubs even more at
tractive than in the past.
It is true that we have no more A- 4’s with nine papers included for only
$1.50, but when it comes to class, coupled with economy, you’ll find the real
stuff listed below.
Study them over, compare them with what other papers are offering,
and send in your subscription to the good old Tri-Weekly Journal.

Kansas City Doctor's Discov
ery Makes Truss or Oper
ation Unnecessary
—————
Kansas City, Mo.—(Special.)—A ■
i new discovery, which, experts agree,
■ has no equal for curative effects in
all rupture cases, is the latest ac-
I complishment of Dr. Andrews, the
j well-known Hernia specialist of this
■ city. The extraordinary success of
this new method proves that it holds
and heals a rupture, it weighs only
a few ounces. Has no hard, goug
ing pads, no elastic belt, no leg
i straps, no steel bands, and is as
comfortable as a light garment. It
has enabled hundreds ot persons
Ito throw away trusses and declare.
■ their rupture absolutely healed.
Many of these had serious double
I ruptures, from which they had suf-
I sered for years. It is Dr. Andrews’
i ambition to have every ruptured per
i son enjoy the quick relief, comfort
i and healing power of his discovery,
i and he will send it on free trial to
i any reader of The Tri-Weekly Jour
i nal who writes him at his office,
1211 Koch Bldg.. Kansas City, Mo.
He wants one person in each neigh
j borhood to whom he can refer. If
i you wish to be rid of rupture for;
i good, without an operation, take
iadv.in’isp of the doctor's free offor. |

Convict, Shot While
Escaping, Surrenders
After 2 Weeks’ Liberty
MOULTRIE, Ga., Oct. IS.—Getty
Reid, a negro convict, who flecf from
the Cook county chaingang and was
shot four times, returned to the
stockade yesterday and surrendered
after two weeks’ freedom. He said
his conscience troubled him because
he hadn’t treated the warden right,
who had been kind to him.
That the negro, whose serious
wound received no medical attention,
managed to survive is amazing, ac
cording to physicians. Three bullits
struck Reid in the back and one pen
etrated his neck. .
That night it began raining and
rained steadily for nearly three days.
Reid was out in the downpour. The
onlj r food he had was peanuts and
sweet potatoes which he gathered
raw in the fields.
