HAS RETIRED
An important change has taken
place, this week in the firm of Mess
nor, Conkey it Walker, Mr. Messner
having retired from the management
of the firm. The firm will ki knowji
hereafter as Conkey, Walker it Leh
man, and the membership bespeaks
success. -Mr. .Messner, wlio lias been
connected with the mercantile world
of Independence during the past live
years, will retire from that field and
devote himself to banking. Tlio bus
iness of the First State Hank, of which
he is president, has grown to such an
extent that it is necessary to add a
larger force and ho will therefore de
vote his energies to the success of that
institution. Independence has lost
nothing in these business changes.
The mercantile firm may feel that
they have lost in the deal, however,
the addition of Mr, Lehman forms a
tl io of industrious workers for whom
it would be impossible to conceive
failure.
Twenty-Five Cents is tlio Price

War Against Consumption.
All nations are endeavoring to check
the ravages of consumption, the "white
plague" that claims so many victims

cures coughs and colds perfectly and
you are in no danger of consumption.
Do not risk your health by taking some
unknown preparation when Foley's

results. Dove& Williams.

A Revelation.
It is a revelation to people, the severe
eases of lung trouble that have been
cured by Foley's Honey and Tar. It
not only stops the cough but heals and
strengthens the lungs. L. M. Buggies,
Beasnor, Iowa, writes: "The doctors
said I had consumption , and I got no
better until I took Foley's Honey and
Tar. It stopped the hemorrhages, and
pain in my lungs and they are now as
sound as a bullet." Dove & Williams.
