"Ynukee Doodle and Dixie"

This was the title of the joint lecture
that all Milligan enjoyed on the even
ing Of September 80, given by ex-Gov.
Bob Taylor and his brother, ALI, the
congressman, for the benefit of the
Christian church now about to be built
The audience was as large as was ex-
pected. Special trains brought loads
of people from the neighboring towns
and cities and the country folks came
in vehicles and ON horses.
The amount taken in was $163.
The music in the program was good
and appropriate. We have asked most
of the people we met which of the
brothers made the best speech and find
the opinions so nearly balanced that we
conclude, although they may outstrir
others, as they did, they can not beat
each other. The speeches, including
music, each nearly an hour long, were
on entirely different lines, but each {
model of its kind.
Those of us who have listened to the
fiery eloquence of Col. N. G. Taylor
believe his mantle to have fallen oil
both his boys We have never heard (
better joint production.
Their tour through the cities of thu
North and South, the lands of Dixie
and Yankee Doodle, begun by solibe
raj donation to our church at Milligal
and assured by the extraordinary pow
ers of these rival orators, can not bu
succeed. Milligan Era.

The Shakers have made discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realizing that three-fourths Of
all our snfferings arise from stomach
troubles, that the country is literally
filed with people who can not eat and
digest food, without subsequently,
suffering pain and distress, and that
many are starving, wasting to mere
skeletons, because their food does
them no ! good, they have devoted
much study and thought to the sub
ject, and the result is this discovery
Of their Digestive cordial.
A little book can be obtained from
your druggist that will point out the
way OF relief at once An investigs-
ton will cost nothing and will result
in much good.

IT is reported that Secretary Carlisle
has about made mp his mind to recon-
mend, in his snnua1 report to congress,
that 81 barrel be added to the tax on
beer, which, 1t is estimated, would add
$50, 900, 900 a year to the receipts of the
government. Whether the republicans
would accept this recommendation if it
be made will depend upon whether the
high tarifr-or-bnst republicans control
the house. If that faction gets on top
the country will be in for another tariff
agitation, Mr.. Reed, who will rule the
house with rod of iron, only bending
when he thinks he can improve his
chances for getting the presidential
nomination. is credited With not wish
ing to touch the tariff during the COM
