Among the necessities of home is
a good, reliable laxative. Don’t be
without one! Do your best to pre-
vent constipation. Don’t neglect it
when you feel any of its disagree-
able symptoms coming on. . . “We
have used Thedford’s Black-Draught
for 21 years and have found it a
very useful medicine that every
family ought to have in their home,”
writes Mrs. Perry Hicks, of Belton,
Texas. “I take Black-Draught for
biliousness, constipation and other
ills where a good laxative or purga-
tive is needed. I have always found
Black-Draught gives good results.”
Sold in 25-cent packages.

PLEASANT GROVE, Aug. 31.—
Since my last writing we have had
a nice rain and things have freshen- '
ed up a bit and folks are making fall
gardens.
Farmers are gathering their cotton
but the crop is really short.
Mr. King Falls is much improved
after a few weeks of serious illness.
Mrs. Jim Lawrence has returned
from an extended visit to her parents
in the eastern part of the state.
Rev. Roberts and family visited
Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Cook Sunday.
Mr. John Weaver and Miss Ruth
Condron called on Mr. and Mrs. J.
T. Roberts, Jr., one night last week.
Next Sunday is the Baptist
church day at Pleasant Grove. Every-
body come and bring someone with
you. It seems that some people are
very negligent about attending
church. This should not be as it is our
duty to attend church. Surely we
can sacrifice a little of our time,
remember what the Lord sacrificed
for us.

The great majority of beneficiaries of insurance policies are women.
Thousands of them are listed on our books as such. And many
more have policies on their own lives. Consider your own situa-
tion. Wouldn’t it be a wise act to take out an Austin Mutual
policy so that your beneficiary will be provided promptly with
funds to defray the expense of your last illness and funeral?
We offer a popular fixed-premium policy which may be paid
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. The cost varies
according to age, and amounts are considered from $500.00 to
$3,000.00. Age limits are from 15 to 70, inclusive. There are no
membership fees, death assessments, or semi-annual dues on the
fixed-premium policy. $1,000 policy, age 35, monthly rate $1.35.
Annual rate $15.05. Cost for other ages in proportion.
Write or phone the home office for detailed information concern-
ing Austin Mutual protection. Ask about our $500 policy for child-
ren, ages 2 years to 16, and our accumulative Old Age Policy issued
to ages 61 to 70, inclusive.

daughter, who have been in Austin
for several weeks, have come to

Some of us have had the privilege
to attend the revival held at the
Baptist church at McDade. If any of
those attending those meetings have
a wreck and lose their life eternal
by transgressing God’s law, it won’t
be Bro. Wheeless’ fault. He made it
very plain by the illustration of the
“red lights”. If you cross on the red
lights you’ll have a wreck. What
would happen to the one that would
meddle with the lights, so that green
lights would appear on both sides
at the same time on Congress Ave?
'Wouldn’t it be an awful smash-up?
We surely enjoyed that good4 rain
last Friday. It put everyone busy
in the gardens again.
