A Gentle Hint

In our style of climate, with its sud.
den changes of temperature-rain.
wind and sunshine often interningled
in a single day-it is no wonder that
our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neg
lected colds, half the deaths resulting
direct from this cause. A bottle Of
Boschee's German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will pre-
vent serious sickness, a large doctors
bill, and perhaps death, by the Use of
three Or four doses. For curing Con-
sumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia.
Severe Coughs, Group or any disease
of the Throat or Lungs, its success is
simply wonderful, as your druggist
will tell you. German Syrup is now
sold in every town and village on this
continent. Sample bottles for trial,
10c.; regular size, 75c. For sale at
w. H. Coley's.

Railway Sparks.

The postal cars on the L. & n.
road no longer lay over here. They
run through to Memphis.
The c., St. L. d n. o. company
proposes to build machine shops at
Jackson if pending lawsuit can be
compromised. Or course our enter
prising neighbor will comp.
We understand that the question of
4 railroad between here and Evans
vile is again being agitated in Ken
lucky. Let us have it. Evansville
cannot find a better southern outlet
than to tap the two great roads cross
ing at this place.
The L. 4 n. road has bought the
first mortgage bonds of the Kentucky
division Of the Southeastern road,
thereby securing control of that road
from Guthrie to Henderson, Ky.
This will give the L. IN. better con-
nsctiOn to the northwest.
During the month of April 263
bales of cotton were shipped from this
place, 247 on the L. & n. road and 16
on the Central road. Shipped pre-
viously 1921 bales making a total to
date of 1914 bales. There is very 1T
tie eft in this section, and we think
the shipment for the season will hardly
reach 1900 bales.

guish. But grieve no more. PARK

ENGES will save your child. They
expel the worms from the stomach
completely, give health and vigor to

IN MEMORIAM,

BRYANT.-At Milan, Tenn, May
LIST, 1879, Lizzie, only AMI beloved
daughter of Zach and Cassandra Bry-
ant.
The death angel has spread his dark
wings and borne from our midst our
f,irest flower. Snatched from us al
most without a warning, she has left
a desolate void which can never be
filled, and in our hearts a poigni ant
grief that years will not assuage.
Dear, stricken mother, the agony of
your empty arms is terrible, and in
your sore misery you cry out, 80
Saviour of the world, she was so pre-
cious to mel" God knows your
anguish exceeds all others, but neither
love nor longing could keep our dar,
ling. Her sweet face is gone, and We
shall hear her joyous voice no more,
No more. He has taken the seed His
hand had sown and planted it where
flowers grow best. Pure angel, flair
was thy life in its lovely beginning,
and fair IN its close, too" For thee,
''All dread of distant future,
All fears that opprest to-day.
Like mists that clear in the sunlight.
Have aoiselessly passed away:
Nor call nor ciamor can rouse thee
From slumbers so pure and deep.
For only His voice can reach thee.
Who giveth His loved ones sleep"

Gadsden Letter

Another beautiful day, after so
many days of gloom. We had rain
last Sunday, and it seems ever since it
has been very undecided question
whether We would have rain, cold
weather or sunshine. This calm
morning settles it; the air is little
cool, but pleasant.
GaGsden shipped "a crates OF ber-
ries yesterday. There will be more
to-day.
u Mr.. A. T. Mcclure, Of the Argus,
and Prof. Dunlap, of Humboldt, were
in town last Saturday.
Miss Ophelia WEIGH, Of the Grove,
is visiting her sister, Mrs Humphreys.
Miss Bette Moore, of Milan is Wis
iting her sister here.
Miss Fannie Spraggins went to
Bells yesterday,
A party of fishermen went out / st
Friday to Cox's lake, about six miles
from this place, to fish. When they
started they said they would bring
some fish back if they had to buy.
Of course they did not buy what they
brought home.
Berries are sold every day at the
train for twenty-five cents box.
You must not think because this
letter is so dull that Gadsden is dull
far from it. 1t is very enterprising
little place. If you could walk aroun1
awhile and see the busy merchants and
the smiling drummers, and be here
especially when the trains stop, about
twelve o'clock, you would change
your mind.
Prof. McDonald's school will be out
next Friday. We hope all the peo-
pie will go out to hear the school ex-
amined. Exercises begin at o'clock
a. m, on Friday. On Thursday next
the music class will be examined, ex-
ercises beginning at half past one p. m.
Perhaps letter with more news in
it next time. We will see if We can-
not persuade some of the young people
to get married, SO We can have some
thing to write. l..

Closing Exercises.

The examination exercises at the
College have been in progress all this
week, and have been quite interesting
to those who witnessed them. We are
glad to know that numbers ofou best
citizens have attended and taken part
in the examination; and we are still
better pleased to be able to state that
the pupils have thus far reflected
honor on their painstaking and excel
lent teachers by showing great prof
cheney in their studies. To night the
English classes will read essays and
declaim at Clark's Hall. Tomorrow
night the advanced classes will close
the exercises with declarations and
essays. Next week we hope to give
a more extended notice of the school
and the good management of the edu
catiJ..al interest of our town. We
have not the space this week to spare.

strawberry Notes.

Very few berries are passing here
from the south.
Over thirty thousand pickers'
checks have been printed at this office
during the past two weeks, and we
are prepared to fill more orders.
The strawberry crop at Nashville is
reported as suffering from drouth; and
without rain it will be cut short ones
half. Shipping will begin about
the 10th.
The weather during the past Two
days has been too cool for the fast ma
turing of strawberries. Consequently
the shipments are light Harris d
Clark shipped the first case last Satur-
day. Since thep shipments have
slowly increased. Next week things
will be lively.
