Stubborn Case
"I was under the treatment of two doctors," writes
Mrs. R. L Phillips, of Indian Valley, Va., "and they pro-
nounced my case a very stubborn one, of womanly weak-
ness. I was not able to sit up, when I commenced to
take Cardui.
I used it about one week, before I saw much change.
Now, the severe pain, that had been in my side for years,
has gone, and I don't suffer at all. I am feeling better than
in a long time, and cannot speak too highly of CarduL"
CARDUI WomaiftTomc
if you are one of those ailing women who suffer from any
of the troubles so common to women.
Cardui is a builder of womanly strength. Composed
of purely vegetable ingredients, it acts quickly on the
womanly system, building up womanly strength, toning up
the womanly nerves, and regulating the womanly system.
Cardui has been in successful use for more than 50 years.
Thousands of ladies have written to tell of the benefit they
received from it Try it for your troubles. Begin today.

In company with 8. C. Masslngals,
G. A. W. Fleming and A. R. Ash. the
Beacon Rounder spent a very pleas-
ant afternoon last Friday, on the
banks of Oeer's lake southwest of the
city. It had come to our ears that
these gentlemen were fishermen, and
feeling that we were somewhat of a
sport in this line ourself, It was with,
much satisfaction that we thought of
our next meal. This feeling soon de-
parted as we sat watching our un-
bobbing cork, and it was with a feel-
ing of dlsguBt that we pulled out our
first and only fish during the after-
noon, which was fully two and three
quarters Inches in length. However
when we saw the string that fisher-
men Fleming and Ash had strung
we felt some better. The former
angler had at least a dozen, which
all put together would not fill a five
cent sardine can. The latter had as
many as three mud-cats that wouldn't
make good bait for a grasshopper.
We had not expected a great deal of
Mr. Massingale, as it was he, who

very successful, any one of which
were larger than the fish angled by
the other two gentlemen of the com-
pany. We will with hold Judgment
as to the ability of Mr. Massingale^
and desire another try at it ourselves
before before making any private res-
olutions, but as for the other two of
the party, who insisted on bringing
their catch to town to parade them
before the eyes of their friends and
allowing us a generous part of the
"honor" of having a part in that catch
