Sign-Posts
All cross-roads in this, and
every other county in the state,
should be equipped with sign-
boards. The sooner this is done
the better it will be; not alone
for the auto tourists who in large
numbers cross our state, but for
the people of our own county who
have occasion to make trips into
territory unfamiliar to them.
A generous act never fails of
its reward and when township
trustees, county commissioners
or wh oever should do this work
can perform so splendid a service
in the line of official duty at so
little cost, it ought to be done.
^ In many parts of this, and in
other states, people of our own
county have appreciated the kind-
ness oflthose who have placed sign
boards and guide posts at the
various cross-roads and we should
return the compliment. Some of
the principal roads in the county
already have been ^marked but
there are many important cross-
roads left unmarked and the
need of guiding signs at such
places is great.

STOMACH TROUBLE
FOB FIVE YEARS
Majority of Friends Thought Mr.
Hughes Would Die, Bat
One Helped Him to
Recovery.
)
Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad-
vices from this place, Mr. A. ]. Hughes
writes as follows: "I was down with
stomach trouble for live (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that I thought surely I would die.
I tried different treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any good.
1 got so bad, I could not eat or sleep,
and all my friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
Thedford's Black-Draught, and quit J
taking other medicines. I decided to
take his advice, although I did not have
any confidence in it.
1 have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven't had those awful sick headaches
since I began using it.
I am so thankful for what Black-
Draught has done for me."
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de-
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should be
kept in every family chest.

Only a quarter. m
was given to guide posts. When
the horse crowded the ox from
the highway, guide posts assum-
ed a larger importance. But it
remained for the automobile to
bring the cross-roads sign post
to its full usefulness.
These are days of long tours.
On any day one may see machines
bearing the license tags of a
half dozen states, many of them
distant. The county is criss-
crossed with tourists routes and
scarcely any territory daunts the
man behind the steering wheel.
Auto clubs have done much work
in erecting guide posts, but the
task of properly posting the
highways, even of a single
county, is well nigh endless.
