durable, would give half his fortune

Perhaps HOSTETTER'S STOM-
ACH BITTERS has been recommend
ed to such a sufferer. Possibly he has
turned from the friend who made the
suggestion, with a sheer, intimating
that he has no faith in any patent me-
dicine." 1T this has been the case, so
much the lcOrse for him. His increduli-
ty dooms him To a life of misery. All
the luxuries which wealth can pur-
chase are at his command. Not one
of them can give him pleasure. His
own irrational obstinacy is his bane.
The masses, happily for themselves,
are less skeptical. There is such a
thing as biOoted ltRbelief, as well as big
Oted creduIitu. and a golden mean be-
tween the two. which men and women
who are gifted with common sense,
adopt and profit by. These are the
classes that patroniZe and recommend
HOSTETTER'S BITTERS. Why do
they approve this famous anti-dyspep-
tic and anti-bilious preparation p
Simply because they have not been
too much the slave of senseleSs preju-
dice to give it fair trial. and have

sage. when his ignorant enemies were

the earliest settlers of the county.
In 1889, he was elected a Represen-
tative in the State Legislature. He
was subsequently, elected State Sen
ator, and represented Choctaw county
i'm that body for sixteen years con-
tinuously. and for eight years he was
President OF the Senate. His manner
and address characterized him as a
gentleman, and he was admired and
respected by all parties.
He was a Democrat of the State
Rights school.and was thought worthy
of the Office of Governor, and in 1857
came near receiving the nomination
of the Democratic party for it. In
1859 he was again spoken of for the
same position, but voluntarily declin-
ed a nomination that would have been
rendered him, in all probability.
In his death, the county and State
has lost a true and tried patriot and
gentleman; the community one of its
best citizens. His death though not
wholly unexpected, has cast gloom
oyer the whole county. He had been
in falling health for year, caused by
paralysis of the heart. w. B.
