A postal card received this
week from Superintendent W.
H. Butler at Huntsville states
that he has been in bed sick for
a few days, and but for this
handicap he would have already
been settled in Mexia. Mr. But-
ler hopes to get moved within
the week.
A letter received by his son,
Leonard, from Geo. Tidwell at
Denver, Colo., states that Mr.
Tidwell is quite "sick in that city.
Members of the family at home
are uneasy lest his condition be-
come serious. Mr. Tidwell is
bothered occasionally with some-
thing like an enlarged liver or
complications which cause smo-
thering spells, and he went with
Mrs. Tidwell to Colorado sever-
al days ago for the benefit of his
health.
An Old Fault Finder
, An irritable and fault finding dispo-
sition. is often caused by indigestion.
A man with good digestion and bow-
els that act regularly is usually good
natured. When troubled with indiges-
tion or constipation take Chamber-
lain's Tablets. They strengthen the
.stomach and enable it to perform iis
functions naturally. They also cause
a gentle movement of the bowels.
Agent F. P. 'Huchingson
states that the Morgan steam-
ship line has now resumed busi-
ness through the port of Gal-
veston and coastwise freight
has begun to move through their
docks at that port. The ship-
ping interests, as everyone
knows, have been tide up from
strikes in that city and in New
York for several months past,
but conditions have improved
to a degree where this large
steamship company is resuming
business on almost a normal
scale.
Remember the Day
of the Armistice
The News-Herald has secured
permission from Dr. R. B. Jack-
son to publish a personal letter
he wrote this week to Dr. G. B.
Foscue, in reply to a circular let-
ter from the latter asking for
his vote for Joe Bailey.
The letter which follows ex-
plains itself and sets forth the
reasons for Mr. Neff's loyal sup-
port by the fathers of sons who
went to France and participated
in the late war.
Mexia, Texas.
Aug. 23rd. 1920.
Dr. G. B. Foscue and Others,
Waco, Texas,
Gentlemen:
Your circular letter has been
received and contents noted. In
reply, I had three boys in the
Army—two went over to France.
I prayed for them and for all
the other boys who went "over
there.". Made speeches for Lib-
erty Bonds, Y. M. C. A., Red
Cross and Salvation Army.
Spent my tme and all the money
I could get to help win the war.
Joe Bailey had two boys in the
Army, but opened not his jaw
for them no anybody else's boy.
They might have starved to
death so far as he was concern-
ed. For these and other good
reasons, I have a supreme •dis-
like for Joe Bailey and cannot
understand how any father who
had a boy in the War, or any
other red-blooded American,
can vote for him.
I was for Thomason in the
first primary, but am for Pat
Neff now, forever, everlastingly,
absolutely, unequivocally, eter-
nally and a few days after-
ward. Your friend,
Dr. Reuben Benjamin Jackson,
Mexia? Texas.
Mrs. G. W. Fife came up from
Teague to attend the bedside of
her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Boze-
man, who is quite sick.
Mrs. Mary Jane Buckner of
Bishop, Texas, is here attend-
ing the bedside of her niece,
Mrs. Will Bozeman.
Miss Dorothy Killough is a
guest of her sister, Mrs. 0.. L.
Lusk.
The gas service in Mexia now
is better than for many months
past, due to the fact that Waco
and Corsicana have been cut off
from the fields here, thus affor-
ding an increased supply for lo-
cal consumption.
Those who vote in the August
28th primaries, will have to ans-
wer "the followihg questions:
Are you a Democrat?
Will you swear to support the
Democratic nominee of this pri-
mary in the general election on
>"c vember 2?

A camping party at the Club
j.lake this week enjoying a fish-1
ing and outing is composed of;
Mr. and Mrs. John Sweatt, Mr.'
and Mrs. Gene St. Clair, Mr. and
Mrs. Nelson Forrest and Mr.
and Mrs. E. L. Smith. Other
members of the club are anxious
that Mr. Smith cut short his so-
journ at the lake as his presence
in that vicinity constitutes a ha-
zard. No chance for those who
visit the lake afterwards in
search of the finny tribe.

A truthful statement of a Mexia
citizen, given In his own words should
convince the most "skeptical about the
merits of Doan's Kidney Pills. If you
suffer from backache, nervousness,
sleeplessness, urinary disorders or
any form of kidney Ills, use a tested
kidney medicine.
.A Mexia citizen tells of Doan's Kid-
ney Pills.
Could you demand more convincing
proof of merit?
B. F. Perdue, shoe and harness ma-
ker, E. Palestine and Kennedy Sts.,
Mexia. says: "I keep Doan's Kidney
Pills on hand all the time, as there is
nothing like them for kidney com-
plaint. Sitting at my bench caused
my kidneys to get out of fix and I had
dull pains across my back, then ag-
ain, sharp catches. My kidneys acted
irregularly and the secretions con-
tained brick-dust like sediment. Af-
ter using Doan's Kidney Pills, the
backache soon disappeared and my
kidneys became normal. I am. glad
to say a good word for this fine kid-
ney medicine."
. Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim-
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Perdue had. Foster-Mllburn Co.,
