“Makes It Go Way.” We simply can’t do without it. We are not going to try. When Bobby stubs or cuts his toe it’s “Ma, where’s the Lightning Oil?” When little Dick’s been playing with a bumble bee, it’s “Where the Lightning Oil?” The echo of all our afflictions is “Where’s the Lightning Oil?” It’s the balm that makes the pains go way. Sincerely yours, P. CASSIDY, MONTEVALLO, Ala. 25 and 50c bottlers.
In our description recently of the Handy’s reception on her maiden trip to Farmerville landing, we omitted to mention the fact that her pilot was a Farmerville boy — Mr. Laurene Cook. Laurence always had a “hankering” for steamboat life, and a few years ago he started out to get his heart’s desire. That he succeeded well is shown by the fact that he is pilot of the Handy, and has served in that capacity on other boats for some time previous.
