"DEAR FRIEND- Two years ago I had child-bed fever and womb trouble in its worse form. For eight months after birth of babe I was not able to sit up. Doctors treated me, but with no help. I had bearing-down pains, burning in stomach, kidney and bladder trouble and my back was so stiff and sore, the right ovary was badly affected and everything I ate distressed me, and there was a bad discharge. I was confined to my bed when I wrote to you for advice and followed your directions faithfully, taking Lydia E.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, Liver Pills and using the Wash, and am now able to do the most of my housework. I believe I should have died if it had not been for your Compound. I hope this letter may be the result of benefitting some other suffering woman. I recommend your Compound to every MARY VAUGHN, TRIMBLE, PULASKI KY.

He will quit tarming this spring and re- opinionsexoressed in these columns by contributors are the views of those who write and not necessarily having the endorsement of the TO THE EDITOR OF THE SPIRIT- Sir: Before the nominations for council by the Republican primaries the Opinion had worked itself into a frenzy over the condition of the public affairs of the borough.

It rather threatened to bolt the ticket, expose the secret acts of council and do other things tully as dangerous for Republican nominees. Now that the slated ticket is named the Opinion is satistied and will support the ticket through thick and thin confidence and without whatever that may mead. For the time the much needed trolley for which the people living in the secluded nooks and ravines of the mountains, are impatiently waiting stands in abeyance. The "round robin" business has taken its place and will be worked for all it is worth. In my desire to aid the Opinion in Its latest work I will suggest from time to time other "robins" and "pledges." I also suggest that these other "birds" Include all the Republican nominees.

My first request is that the would-be-burgess and town council sign this "robin:" That the hotel or hotels that refused to lodge the Slayton Jubilee Singers deserve the condemnation of the undersigned who like Barkis "are willin" to till any office of profit in the gift of the people for which we are eminently qualified.

Grove J. L. Barbitz J. A. Hamilton.

(These names I append to show the public how they would Jook at the conclusion of a real "round This would set the town right and possibly such a "robin" would satisly the colored voter who is indignant over the treatment of his colored brethren by Republican inkeepers. Of "quids" and "pros" there may be need to appease some of these indignant brethren. It will only take a short time until this "robin" is signed; a public announcement from the Opinion and the candidates will be falling over each other on the Opinion stairway to sign for the success of "the ticket, the whole ticket and nothing but the ticket." 1 hope this "robin" will be flying the streets by Monday morning. New "robins" and pledges are in course of preparation for the Opinion and the candidates' uses. BROOKE.

To THE EDITOR of THE SPIRIT-Sir: I beg to call your attention to the fact that now that the Republican office seekers for this year have been decided upon and their names placed upon the ticket the small army of little place hunters has begun to mobilize. (These small fry can be seen buttonholing the men who would be councilmen and lingering longingly about those places that seem to be alive with political power. May I suggest that these fellows who exist largely on the belief that the borough owes them a lying get down to solid work and thereby earn the consciousness of Independence and the happy feeling that "no man is your master." NOT ONE OF THEM. 110 TO THE EDITOR OF THE SPIRIT-Sir: I see in the Opinion that our Republican landlords turned down the Jubilee people the other ntght. For the life of me I cannot understand why they did it.

This Is no time to be squeamish about people who want to stay at a tavern. Here is an important election coming on and we want every vote we can get. We need them, no matter their color or condition. These offices at stake are worth looking after; in tact our workers must have them. 'That's what keeps the pot a boiling.

Now Mister Repository, vou are one of the leaders and one of the chief candidates, won't you try and make some good excuse for this turn down. It It wasn't tor this borough election it wouldn't make any difference. The Opinion is boiling over and so are many of the colored people and something must be done. I am a candidate and who ot our party ain't down in the fourth as you know. Look after this at once.
