In his speech here Wednesday
C'has. F. Cole had the audacity to
again deny the negro episode
which took place on the republi

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.

children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
Scott’s Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack

icott’s Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

Some of the members of the city
council have assured The Journal
that they were in favor of drain

the matter before the council for
action in the near future. We
trust that it will not be delayed
very long. This is a matter that
deserves immediate attention, and
we know of no way in which the
same amount of the public money
could be used to better advantage
than in draining this filthy and
unsightly pond.
