, A MODERN MIRACLE
"Ti uly miraculous teamed the recovery
of Mrs. Mollie Holt of this place," writes
J. 0. R. Hooper, Woodford. Tenn.. "she
was so wasted by coughing up pus from
her lungs. Doctors declared her end so
near that her family had watched by her
bed-side forty-eight hours; when, at my
urgent request Dr. King's New Discovery
was given her, and with the astonishing
result that improvement began, and con
tinued until she finally completely recov
ered, and is a healthy woman today."

A GRAND SUCCESS
After two years of rest the Hardscrable
Literary Society is again active with all of
its ancient splendor. Those who attended
the meeting on Friday evening Jan. 6th.
were entertained with a program both
interesting and instructive.
The question for debate was, "Resolved
that there is more knowledge gained from
reading than from travel." The debaters
for the affirmitive were Mr. John Martin.
Willis Wright and Loyd Kerns, and those
for the negative were, Wm. Eames, Tom
Wright and John Wright The decision
was given favor of the negative.
Those who took part in the dialogue
deserve a compliment. Among the other
entertaining parts of the program was the
song rendered by the Martin Brothers,
and also the poem, "Over The Hills to
the Poorhouse" which was given admir
ably by Willis Wright.
The next meeting will be held on Fri
day evening, Jan, 19th. and the question
for debate is, "Woman Sufforage." After
the debate will follow many entertaining
features too numerous to mention. All
are urged to attend. It is too good to
miss, for there you will hear questions
propounded with the wisdom of Solomon,
and declamations given that would rival
the bower of Antony. W. M.
