A great many observations and
much discussion of the political sky
in Hardeman are now going on.
There are rumors that prohibition
and wheelerism wall cut a big figure
in the coming campaign Whether
these rumors are fancied or real,
I am unable to say. But this much
] shall say; I think these questions
ought not to be issues in choosing
men. The prohibition fight was
made. We all took sides. Every
inch Of ground was holly contested.
The votes were cast, and the ques.
ton was settled. belonged to
that side which went down in de-
feat, and | accept the verdict with
grace and kindly feelings just as all
good citizens should accept any de-
cision made by the people. 1t ought
not to be revived now, Besides it
is no party question, and this year
will witness a party fight. If this
| prohibition question is revived II
will disrupt parties, and especially
the democratic party, and would
most likely result IN defeat. New
a word on the wheel rumor: The
farmers can not afford to convert
their agricultural organizations
into political ma chimes. A fight for
the choice Of men from that older-
and difference of opioiOn as to

up such divisions and faction in
the wheel as would result in its ruIr

school reports which come int the
Bulletin each week from all parts
of the county. Nothing Is more
gratifying to me than to note the
prosperity of our schools and the
success of our teachers. Lave
visited quite a number of our
school directors and have met eth
srs IN Bolivar and ether points and
have spoken With them concerning
their schools. In almost every in.
stance they give gratifying reports
Our school directors are more alive
70 their duties now than ever be-
fore. The teachers are of better
grade, and are beginning to realize
that teaching is something more
| than little summer or winter job
to be done when nothing else can be
done. Our farmers have taken
up the subject in their agricultural
Wheels, and have declared that
their sons and daughters must ,be
educated and made intelligent that
they may understand their rights
and be able to csnterd for them.
In my efforts to improve the schools
of Hardeman county, l have not
only advised with teachers and
school directors, bat also with pats
rons. l have done this in order to
acquaint myself with the want and
necessities of the people. The pub
lie school system must be so admins
tered as to serve the needs of the
people needs in conformity with the
law. Some people main tain that
the laboring people don't need much
intelligence. That just enough to
enable them to know how to work
and to keep from being cheated is
sufficient. That a we'll educated
citIzenry is not safe and loyal CON-

aud ambitious. / de not hold to

educated people are not as liable

dim. In short, the eyes need q great deal
more care than they get. ulhealth Of any
sort weakens them. Going with cold feet
causes more harm to the eyes than any one
ever suspects, and many cases of weak
eyes are relieved at once by hot footballs
and thick stockings The sight is often
strengthened by applications just above
the eyebrow and on the temple rather
than the eye-ball itself. like very
much this prescription for weak
eyes when there is no special dis.
ease. Steep a handful Of fresh red
pepper or ginger root in half-pint of alco.
hol and wet the temple and brow above
tho eye with this twice daily, letting itdry.
Very strengthening is a lotion of tea
bier of distilled water. A little Of this is
eye-ball, and the eye is opened in the
water for q minute or two three times a
day. A tablespoonful Of rock salt, In
quart Of water, dipping the face in it and
opening the eyes in the water, is vigor-
Gus and moro convenient form of applica-
ton. Probably the best eye-restorer in ma
ture is eight or nine hours sleep at night
In cool, dark room, the light kept down
by dark green shades at the windows, two

than shading the eyes. Plenty Of sleep re-
stores the liquid softness Of the eyes. No

harmless things for the purpose are the

roasted coffee chewed for the juice alone.
This brightens the eye for an evening,
and is useful to keep watchers wide

often, or it affects the heart. Pure blood
and thorough circulation, with unob-

eyes Of dark shade of their natural
