The reduction of internal revenue
and he taking off Of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no
doubt has largely benefited the
consumers, as we'll as relieving the
burden Of home manufacturers.
Especially in this the case with Greens
August Flower and B0schee's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty
SIX cents per dozen, has been added
to increase the size of the bottle
containing these remedies, thereby
giving one-fifth more medicine ia the
rs cent size. The August Flower
for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint
and the German Syrup for Cough
and Lung troubles, have perhaps,
the largest sale of any medicines in
the world. The advantage Of ncreas
ed size of the b)tties will be greatly
appreciated ny the sick and afflicted
in every town and village in civilized
countries. Sample bottles for 10
cents remain the same size.

Ezekiel Polk McNeaI,

Mai. Z. p. McNeal died at his
residence In Bolivar on last Friday
evening, about 8 o'clock, surrounded
by his relatives and friends, after a
prOtracted illness of several months
resulting from old age. HIS heart
trouble him considerably, and he
had great difficulty in breathing for
some months before the end came.
He, and his relatives, have known
for sometime that his life was draw
ing rapidly to its close, and he en-
tertained no fears as to the future.
He talked complaeently of death,
and frequently stated that he could
live but short while. Through
ali his affections his mental vigOr
did not seem in the least impaired,
and he continued to attend to busi>
ness up to within a few hours Of his
death, though confined to his room.
The large fortune which he accu~
INFLATED has been the sayings of
years, and the result of a straight
forward, systematic business life.
He was strickly a business man, but
he was charitable and liberal with
the mems which he had accumula-
ted by long life of b NEST toll, He
was one Of the most industrious men
we ever knew, and was the very
soul of honor and integrity. He
has been a consistent member of the
Episcopal church for a number Of
years, and both ST; James Church
and St James Hall, have received
literally ofhis means He was born in
North Carolina OH the 9Th of Sep
tenn Der. 1904, and was consequently
in his S3d year. He was the son Of
Capt. Themes McNeal, who emigra-
ted to Maury county Tennessee
when the Major was "a child, and
moved to This county and settled
what Is low Bolivar, in the year
1921. His mother was a daughter
Ezekial Polk.
He began life as land surveyor
before he was q years of age, and
afterward merchand;sed in Bolivar,
in partnership with Mai. John II.
Bills, and then on his own account.
He was successful as a merchant,
but abandoned it more than 40
years ago and turned his attention
wholly 10 farming, which he has
followed, on all extensive scale, ever
since. When quite a young man
he married Miss Ann Williams, the
daughter OF Esq. j. j. Williams.
They had one daughter who died
in her 18th year, and his wife died
some twelve years ago. He was an
excellent farmer, an prided himself
on having every thing in perfect
order. The example which he set
the farmers Of the county was worth
a great deal TO them, and will long
be remem bered. His houses and
lots about town were kept in excel
lent repair, which added very much
to the appearance Of the place. This
community has lost in him one Of its
oldest, and most highly esteemed
citizens. Has character was ever
above reproach, and he died, as he
had lived, without an enemy.
Ills death, though not unexpected,
cast a gloom over the entire com
munity, and he will be greatly
missed in all the relations of life.
The family Of the deceased have the
sympathy of the entire community,

TEACHLRS INSTITUTE.

Editor of Bulletin:
We have just returned from our
trip to Wesley's School House,
which is situated some ten or twlve
miles northeast of Bolivar. This
Institute Is not one of the regular
Institutes hell monthly, in connec-
ton with cur Reading Circle, but
was appointed by our County Supt.
in order that this community which
is unftvorably located, might have
the advantages fhearing discussions
on topics pertaining to the "new
education and also to awaken inter
est regarding the adoption of text
books for our county"
Prot, w. A. II. Mcdaniel, and
the County Supt. and the under
signed were the only teachers at the
Institute on the morning Of the 9th
of November. The ball was put to
rolling and was continued in motion
mainly through the efforts Of Prof.
Mcdaniel, lie :Cok for his subject
"Reading." He handled his subject
so well, there was little left to be
done by any one else. Prof. Min
ter introduced the subject Of Geogra-
ply, giving his common sense
method of beginning at home and
proceeding from the particular to
the general, from the county to the
state, from the state to the nation
&c. Prot. Mcdaniel in his discus
sion, advocated the advantages of
teaching history in this same con-
nectIon. 80 absorbed did he become
in his theme that he could not help
becoming eloquent and carrying the
audience with him in his enthusiast
tic flight.
The discussion at night by F. NJ.
Malone on some Of the methods of
school discipline, ca led forth live
" discussion of the topic by Messrs.
Nuckolls, Fawcett. j. NJ. Huddles-
ton and others, and finally the
audience were favored by a quiet
and sensible talk from Mrs. Lam
beth the teacher in charge. All of
these last talks were interesting,
especially that Of the Mr.. Huddles-
ton. This discussion led into the
subject OF text books. Nearly every
one present took a nvely interest in
the subject The good tina: will
result from the agitation of this
question can hardly be overestimated.
BY putting this matter into the hands
of the teachers and allowing them
to thoroughly weigh the importance
of adopting a good series of books
shows che tar-seeing wisdom of our
County Supt. BY this means the
newest and best texts from the
various publishing houses are being
! circulated and examined by our
| teachers. Hardeman County, will
soon be able to congratulate herself
upon the rapid advancement made
in the eleyation of her school, and
the general interest aroused in the
minds of her citizens.
The teachers left this institute
feeling that much good would result
to themselves and to all who had
attended. May We have many such
gatherings.
