A TOO MODEST WOMAN
Is such a thing possible2

Is such A thing possible2
1t is.
Many woman suffers month
after month, whole years, because
she shrinks from talking about her
complaints.
Foolish do you say?
No, 1t is simply due to natural,
commendable modesty. Still she
owes it TO herself either to con-
suIt good Physician or else to get
the Zoa-Phora Medical Book on
Diseases of Women and Children,
and, after satisfying herself that
Zoa-Phora is what she needs,
obtain a bottle or a box of it and
use ii faithfully. Both the book
and medicine may be obtained
either direct from the Zoa-Phora
Medicine Co., at Kalamazoo, Mich.

We Never Sleep

Every now and then we pick up paper, with an owls picture and an inscription: "we never sleep" We do not wonder at it. Editors, like most people, have to eat 10 live, and these follows who "nev- CT sleep" never have time, for they live in such poor localities that if they were to take time to sleep, they would starve. Nor are they alone in this respect. Their neigh bors and patrons are in like eondi' ton. They have no time to sleep, either, and thus the years roll by, one dull round of toll. No peace. ful slumbers, no pleasant dreams, They are to be pittyed, not for their having to labor so hard and long, but for their dense igno. rance. Yes, for their ignorance in not knowing that here, in Drew county, they could make good living and only work one-third oi their time, which would allow them plenty of time for sleep and pleasure. If you don't believe il come and see.

The Real Memphis Convention.

Post Dispatch.
 The first Memphis convention was a class convention. The see ond, called by the Bimetalllc League for June l2, will be peo- ple's convention. It Is doubtful if ten delegates to the so-called sound money" convention were chosen at meetings where as many AS twenty persons participated. The second convention will have be- hind it an undoubted majority of the voters of the country.
 The call for the June conven- tion, published elsewhere, sounds the keynote of the currency battle of the future. It pronounces de- cisively and unequivocally for genuine bimetallism. the free coin age of gold and silver, but it also recognizes the fact to which the Post Dispatch had already called attention, that in this battle which the Cleveland Administration has forced, n larger and even more Vi tai question than that of bimetal- lism is involved. This question is, Shall the government exercise the sovereign prerogative of furnish ing the money of the people. or shall it abdicate it's sovereignty and transfer 1t to private corpora tions and individuals? To the war cry, "The government must go out of the banking business. D the League responds, The banks shall go out of the governing busi- ness"
 This is the real, vital, fundamen tHt ioeuc, Oi NhiCh tnc IIoo CoifdS of silver is an essential part but not the whole. Now, that the long postponed currency battle is on, the people should not rest con tent until they have restored to their government its sovereign prerogative as the sole coiner and issurer of money, and eontine the banks to their proper junction of receiving deposits and making dis, counts.
 Who furnishes the money of the people is the peoples ruler.

valuable contribution to the sum of human knowledge. The value of pork in terms of pork has not va ried since the world began. It has been so in all ages, all eli mates among all peoples. Even among the ancient Jews, to whom hog meat was an abomination, tn e parity between pork and pork was never seriously disturbed. It IS likewise true that when the sjl. yer dollar was the unit of value Tn this country silver dollar was always worth 100 cents. Even our untutored ancestors had caught on to the fact that a thing could nevor be either more or less than itself and by subtle process of reasoning they thence deduced the conclusion that it must always be equal to itself. The people who have lately applied this ar- gument to the gold dollar are guilty of plagiarism and have no right to appropriate unto them. selves the honor of discovering a great truth.

ONE DOLLAR -$1. %.

Commercial-Appcal.
 Our gold standard friends re mind us very often that a gold dol. lar is worth 100 cents. The fact we believe, is beyond dispute. IL is indeed an identical proposition for the predicate simply expresses what is contained in the subject We do not see, however, what results are to flow from the dis coyery of the profound truth thai thing is always equal to itself, The idea of comparing thing with itself in order to prove that it is immutably and everlastinglv the same may be very wise pro ceeding, but to our mind it is be- meath the dignity of a serious dis cussion. The gold dollar being adopted as the unit of standard O value, there is nothing gained in the way of knowlege by telling us that 100 cents in gold is alway, worth 100 cents in gold.

 MR.EDIToR:-As the wires are down, and our operator is out rus ticating. I will drop you few lines, by mail.
 The weather still keeps warm. Farmers are well up with their work; and fishing, on the Bayou, has commenced.
 We hear of hard times, in most a 1 parts of the world; but this is the Lords country. We can imagine the Chinaman, sitting down to his bowl of rice. But just go out here among our good people. Only few days ago, we spent the day with MT McGregor and wife. She had stall-fed the old rooster, until he looked like gobbler. The fine vegetables, strawberries and cream, apple pies, milk and butter, besides other good things, too tedious to mention, were boun- tifully display ed. When the din her bell rang, we, like Peter oi old, thought it was good to be there.
 Our place is on regular boom Mr. Hcnlin is president of the School Board. N. c. Mason presi. dent of the Endeavor, A. Pea cock president of the Sunday School $. A. Peacock president of the Singing Society, NJ. K. Lord pres ident of the Road Hands and Dr Moore candidate for the presi dency of the Sons of Rest. But send us few more men-the young ladies want few to sit as president of the..house hold; while they will be content to preside as moderators.

CT they please:
 Let the general Government coin all the gold and silver brought to the hints; and charge reasonale part for mintage. Let the Governments toll be, also, coined, and turned into the treas ury to assist in paying current ex- penses. When the gold and sIl- yer, in the treasury, is inadequate in quantity 10 meet the obliga- tions of the Government, let lc- gal tender notes be issued in sui ficient quantities 10 defray the ex- penses; these notes to be redeema- ble in coin, or absorbed in taxes due the General Government. This plan would give the country more money, and, at the same time would put stop to the is- suance of bonds; thus saving to the people untold millions in the way of interest.
 This plan would give both met als an equal privilege at the hints and at the same time be equitable to all the people. Absolute free coinage, without charge for mint age, is Il speeies of elass-favorit- ism, and is wrong Tn principle. There is no good reason why the whole people should be taxed to maintain mintage expenses, and the mine owners have their metals coined and the full amount in dol lars and cents turned over to them at no cost, whatever. The aphorism, that the laborer is worthy of his tire, is as applicable to the Government as to lndividu- als; and as millers cannot afford to grind grain for nothing, neith- CT should il be expected that the Government should coin dollars for mine owners, for pastime.

Memphis is trying to make It. self famous for conventions and public gatherings. The free sil- verites have issued call for Il free and unlimited coinage con- vention" to be held there June IF, Little Rock Democrat.
 And it should be the best at tended convention ever held in the South. The term free silver ites' includes a great deal. It means the entire toiling masses of America. To adopt the free and unlimited coinage of silver is the easiest and, just now, the most available plan of relieving the country from the interruptions money-sharks and blood-suckers. Let the city of Memphis be filled to over. flowing with delegates and thus demonstrate our determina- ton to establish the white metal on it's proper footing, as part of the legitimate currency of the country.

it makes the beginning of new and more popular era in natural Legislation; it attests mighty rev. olution in pubic sentiment as rep resented here at the apltal; and it places the great industrial and pro. ducing masses of the people in the front and the non-producers in the rear.
 "For fifteen years the people have been on the defensive, and al. though fortified by the plainest pro visions of law and the clearest principles of equity, they have been driven continually from one position to another, until they stood at last on the very verge oi financial ruin. Gathering all thcir energies for this struggle they have advanced--not very far it is true-but they have advanced far enough to recover part of the ground lost in previous conflicts. and, sir, I trust their representa- tives will faithfully hold it for them.
 "Our power of legislation on this subject will not be exhausted by the passage of this measure, and we ought not to halt for a sin gle moment in our efforts to com. plete the work of relief inaugurat- ed by it. The struggle now going on cannot cease, and ought not to cease until all the industrial inter- ests of the country are fully and finally emancipated from the heart less domination of syndicates, stock exchanges, and other great of money grabbers

THERE are two ways for. the common people of this country to control the currency question. One is by their votes and the oth- CT is by work and management. First, vote for men who are fully in accord with you in your fnan- cial views, and, secondly, raise everything at home that you con- sume. If every farmer in Drew County would raise his own horses, mules, meat, flour, corn, molasses, tobacco, peas, potatoes, pumpkins, &o., it would not con. cern him nearly so much whether cotton was worth 5 cents or 10 cents per pound. But fl he de- pends on his cotton to buy all these other articles, high prices for his cotton is essentially necessary for his success.

in this country and in Europe.
 "Let us, if we can do no better, pass bill after bill, embodying in each some one substantial provis- ion for relief, and send them to the Executive for his approval. If he wIthholds his signature, and we are unable to secure the neces- sary vote, here or elsewhere to en- act them into laws notwithstand- ing his veto, let us, as last re- sort, suspend the rules ana put them into the general appropria- ton bills, with the distinct under standing that if the people can get no relief the Government can get no money"
 If Mir. Carlisle was wrong then, and believes that he is right now. why does he not say so like a man. It IS characteristic of this we'll in- tent'oned but spineless statesman, that now when he is sent forth at the command of a stronger will than his own to reverse his past record and pose as an apostle of "sound money and safe currency" whatever that may mean, he should try by such evasive means as the Sevier letter to hide the truth about his past. This pro- penslty on his part keeps him con unually in trouble; a1a it has con trlbuted largely to the prevalent opinion that the Hon. Grover Cleveland's Secretary of the Treas ury IS not the master of his own intellect.
