A HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY. I would almost as soon think of running my farm without implements as without Hunt’s Lightning Oil.

I regard it as a household necessity. Yours truly, S. HARRSION, Kosciusko, Miss.
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. McLaurin of Bernice, were called home last week by the severe illness of Mr. McLaurin’s mother. The above young couple are fitting themselves to fight life’s battle together.

“Makes It Go Way.” We simply can’t do without it. We are not going to try.

Sincerely yours, P. CASSIDY, MONTEVALLO, Ala. 25 and 50c bottlers.

Municipal Election
The election Monday for town officials was so quiet that only those who were directly interested seemed to know that there was an election. There were two tickets in the field, and the vote was as follows:
FOR MAYOR
| W. F. Jackson | 32 |
| W. P. Chandler | 15 |
FOR ALDERMEN
| R. Haas | 43 |
| M. W. Wilson | 36 |
| O. Baughman | 35 |
| G. Hartman | 34 |
| W. J. Turnage | 15 |
| C. H. Jameson | 13 |
| C. H. Murphy | 12 |
The result gives Farmerville the following officers to serve for the ensuing year:
Mayor, W. F. Jackson; Aldermen, O. Baughman, M. W. Wilson, R. Haas, G. Hartman.
The personel of the ticket elected is good and we expect from them a good and sound administration. If they do not give it to us, we can have the satisfaction one year hence of “turning the rascals out.”
STANDS HEAD. There is something about Hunt’s Lightning Oil that no other liniment possesses. Others may be good, but it is surely the best. It does all you recommend it for and more. For sprains, cuts, bruises, burns, aches and pains it has no equal on earth. It stands head on my medicine shelf. Very truly yours, T. J. BROWNLOW, Linvingston, Tenn. 25 and 50c bottles.
