Moves to Kansas
T. J. Rhoden and family who have
some weeks past contemplated moving
to Wakeeney, Kansas, loaded their
goods here Tuesday and started on their
southern trip. The Rhodens are the
sort of families that the Journal re
grets very much to see them leave old
Cass county, as their places are mighty
hard to fill. They are without a single
doubt one of the best families that ever
resided here, and when a man can
count "Rad" Rhoden as his friend you
can bet he is as the boy says "there
for true." The Journal joins with
their many friends in wishing them all
the happiness and prosperity imagin
able in their new home, and if the time
should ever come when they tire of the
Kansas home, we certainly hope they
will return to old Cass.

girls asked as in ye olden times for
sign that might deliver them. ro in a
way of encouragement Mrs. Baker used
the old time custom of placing a ring
and a button in the cake much to the
satisfaction of the girls. Mrs. Davis
received the button while Miss Nickles
cantured the ring which means one
more of our number will pass into the
realm of bliss. Those present besides

The Consequence of Intemperance.
Intemperance is always the cause of
some disturbances of the stomach,
which are noticed mostly in the morn
ing. If neglected, they grow worse and
worse until becoming incurable. We
often called the attention of our read
ers to Triner's American Elixir of Bit
ter Wine, which is a very valuable
remedy in all stomach troubles. It
soothes the pain and brings the stomach
to its natural activity; it strengthens
the whole digestive system, the nerves
and the muscles and makes new rich
blood. If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, indigestion, sleeplessness, dull
headache and otherdifficulties resulting
from an improper digestion, you can
not find a better remedy than Triner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine. At
drug stores. Jos. Triner, ('-('2'2 So.
