SAVANNAH, TENNESSEE THURSDAY JUNE

~ the mother spoke to him and
said the child wanted some of the
corn. WELL" replied the husband.
"if the child is any hungriern l am
an wants this popcorn moren l do,
he'd ought to have it." But he kept
on eating it himself and never grain
did the child get. Pretty soon the
little fellow began to cry for the
corn. This may have annoyed the
father, because he soon arose, put
the popcorn UP in the rack out of the
child's reach. and went into another
car. While he was gone the child
continued to cry and reach after the
banquet, and the mother took the
popcorn down and gave some to the
little one. While this was going on
the mean man came back. Furiousp
You never saw any thing like it.
He snatched the popcorn away from
the child and poured torrent of
abuse upon his wife for daring to
touch his popcorn. Then he put it
back into the rack and at intervals got
up and ate some of it until it was all
gone.
Now, in case of that kind-and the
above is truthful narrative of an act
ual occurrence--is not lynch law justi-
fiablep Is not that kind of man more
valuable and useful as a fertilizer than
any thing else. Isn't he curse to So
ciety SO long as he lives? And might
he not prove blessing to the medi-
cal student and barren land when he
dies. Then why not kill him and
make blessing of him? The world
has no use for mean man. A drunk

The best medical writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be
non-irritating, easy of application, and one
hat will by its own action, reach all the re-
mote sores and liberated surfaces. The
history of the efforts to treat catarrh during
the past few years obliges US to admit that
only one remedy has completely met these
conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm.
This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and
both physicians and patients freely concede
This fact. The more distressing symptoms
quickly yield to it.
