A Fine Auto.
The publisher of the Journal
made nis regular weekly trip to
Murray on Wednesday of this
week, and had the pleasure of re
turning home in the fine Murg J asthma,
auto of J. v . Holmes, in company
with Mr. Holmes, Charles Moedek
er, Joseph Cook and D. C. Rhoden.
Of course we do not claim to be
an expert on the machanisin of an
auto, but from appearance, neat
ness of finish and from all out
ward appearances of the work
manship, we believe that the Murg
car is just a little bit belter than
anything we have seen, even nt a
great deal higher price. It has
power in ahmiance ami moves
along with its load in perfect ease,
no breackueck speed at the bot
tom of hills in order to gel over
the top. Mr. Holmes is general
agent for I he Murg car.
Fat People.
Fat persons generally are short
of wind, suffering from rough,
dyspepsia and gases in the stom
ach and the bowels. They use dif
ferent remedies for cough and
forgetting that they
should not treat the symptoms,
but the cause of the trouble
They must treat their stomach
and their intestines. Let them try
Triner's American Elixir of Hitler
Wine. It will drive out the gases,
clean out the digestive canal,
stimulate all organs to work. It
will not, allow the accumulation of
fat in the body and thus will make
breathing easier. Use it in every
disturbance of the digestion, loss
of appetite, constipation, flalu
lence. vomiting, colic. It will re
lieve nervousness, headache am
sleeplessness. Al drug stores
