Belmont Hall is historical and very

Every person that has ever lived in
Smyrna and have gone away are al
ways glad to return and a great many
come back to end their days here
They love it because it is the home of
their childhood, and because the town
has been protected from cyclones, and
from famine; and pestilence of any
kind. Smyrna has all the advantages
of larger cities; very near the sea-shore
and only a short ride to the mountains
and can be reached by rail or water.
The climate is delightful and the
people social and progressive.
There is considerable wealth in
Smyrna and most of the poorer classes
own home where they can go and
rest after hard days work.
What more could one want than can
be found in Smyrna: surely God has
blessed this beautiful spot.

WOMEN'S DAY AT CANTON.
A DELEGATION FROM CLEVELAND CALL
UPON MAJOR M'KINLEY.

In their own special train and with
their own band, several hundred
Cleveland women went to Canton to
call upon Major Mckinley and to
congratulate him and the nation, as
one of them put it, upon his nominal
ton.
WELCOMED BY COMMITTEE OF CAN
TON WOMEN.
The Cleveland delegation was met at
the station by a large committee of
Canton women, under the leadership
of Mrs. Miller, President of Sorosis,
and Kate Brownlee Sherwood.
The Cleveland women marched from
the railway station to the residence of
Major Mckinley. He was standing
on the porch to receive them. A speech
of cOngratulation was made on the
part of the visitors by Mrs. Elroy
Avery, of Cleveland, State Regent of
the Daughters of the Revolution.
Among other things Mrs. Avery said:
MRS. AvERY's ADDRESS.
eve come to greet you, not as pol
itlcians, but as women, as wives and
mothers and sisters. We cannot cast
one vote for you, and yet we love our
country.
''The mighty mother of a mighty
brood, our country, that lifts up the
manhood of the nations of the earth,
we desire and seek her prosperity and
glory. We believe in the highest des-
tiny for this American nation to which
we belong. We may not fully appre-
ciate man-made political platforms, but
we better understand the significance of
current events than some folks give us
credit for. We know that when you
enter the door of the White House
peace and comfort will enter at our
doors; that when you receive your
heritage by the de cree of a grateful
people, our husbands and fathers will
receive the fruits of their industry,
and the heart of the wife and mother
will be made glad. When the husband
lacks work the wife knows and feels it,
though she will still cheer and COM
fort; when the factory fires are out,
the fire burns low; when the spindles
cease to turn, poverty and hunger
stalk through the streets by day;
when the anvil no longer rings, mis-
cry and waiting brood in the home by
night.

For five weeks lived on cold water, so
to speak," writes a man who suffered ter
ribly from indigestion. sCs ...
He could hardly keep anything on his
stomach. What stayed wasn't properly
digested and gave him terriblel5angs.
This not an uncommon case. Dyspep-
tics dond't get enough nourishment. They
are generally thin and weak.si - ,eisfat.zs.'--
They may eat enough, but they den'tl
digest enough. Much of what they eat
turns into poison. If this keeps on there's
no telling what disease they may get next.
That's why it is best to take Shaker Di-
stive Cordial, as soon as symptoms of in
digestion appear.
1t cures all the evils of indigestion, and
prevents the evils which indigestion causes.

Some time ago the one-year old child
of Mr.. M. E. Lindsey, of Franklin
Forks, Pa, had a vero severe attack
of collie. She suffered great pain.
Mr.. Cindsley gave her dose of Cham

Remedy and in ten minutes her dis
tress was gone. This is the best medi-
cine in the world for children when

THE woNEN's INTEREST.

''Who shall say that woman has no
interest in your success? Every
woman has a living interest in the
money question. If our husbands
earn the money, we spend and intend
to spend it. Without pleading guilty
to the charge of a weakness for the
bargain counter, every thrifty woman
wants her few dollars to have as great
purchasing power as possible; to be
worth hundred cents not fifty; to be
convertible into twenty pounds of
sugar, not ten. We stand ready to
welcome every one who refuses to
dwell longer in the ranks of the oppo-
sition, and to bind up the wounds of
every one who, breaking loose from
the already disintegrating ranks of the
enemy and placing patriotism above
party, pledges his support to the adj
vance agent Of prosperity"
Turning toward Major Mckinley
Mrs. Avery continued:
Descended from Revolutionary
stock, from those who were
Prompt to assert by manners, voice and
pen,
Or ruder arms, their rights as Englishmen,
you stand before the nation and the
world as a typical American,
With the stern high-featured beauty
OF plain devotedness to duty
He who represents our nation to
the world should be an unblemished
/ gentleman. AS soldier, brave and
faithful in days of war, we bring you
our garlands of honor; as a statesman,
wise and just, we bring you our cor
dial greeting; as son and husband,
we bring you our grateful homage.
Among men your name stands as a
synonym for protection to American
industry. 1t stands for sound money
and reciprocity, for freedom from
ocean to ocean. Among women it
stands for more than that-it stands
for protection for the home, it stands
for right thinking and right living, il

For the Legislature.

The action of the committee on terri
tories in presenting an adverse report on
the bill for the admission OF Arizona can
be taken as an index Of what that com
mittee will do III the New Mexico adm1s-
sion matter. 1t means no statehood at
the hands of this congress. That being
the case, We again urge upon our people
the necessity for the election of good
men to the legislature. IT would be a
gross Insult to intimate that we can not
elect legislature with as much brains
per capita as can be found in congress;
but it is no insult to anyone to state, as a
fact, that we have not been doing 80. 1t
is the duty of the press of the territory,
irrespective of politics, to urge upon all
political parties, to for once, relegate the
good fellers" to the rear and put mp
candidates for the legislature who will
try to legislate for the benefit of the ter
ritory. We have such in each of the po-
litical parties in every county in the ter
rtory, and If the selection of good men
is urged all over the territory, We can get
a Legislative ticket in every district that
the people can vote for with some degree
of pride Roswell Record

The New Mexican people are more in

are in free coinage .-Albu9uerque Citi-

Which is only one way of saying that
the Citizen is preparing to follow It's
party, even under n single gold standard
banner. The Advertiser has been expect
ing the Citizen to throw the cause of sill
yer at the signal of the party bosses, and
the above occasions no surprise, but the
himsy excuse will not be allowed to de-
ceive any one. Silver is the one issue of
great interest to the people of New Mex
leo, as the tariff bill put through the
house is proof positive that the Republi-
can party had no intention of helping the
west, and, even If tariff was a good thing,
the railroads can be relied upon to keep
the New Mexico tariffs high enough to
satisfy the most rabid protectionist. All
will understand that the attempt of the
Citizen to belittle the silver issue is a
vain effort to cover its retreat.-Socorro

PRESS COM MENT.
\ Mining Camp View.

Our delegate, L. B. Catron, has at last
been heard from. He succeeded in hav-
ing law passed by congress to prohibit
prize fighting in this territory. While
we appreciate Mr.. Catron's labors in this
direction, still we believe that the terri
torial laws are sufficient to prevent any
thing of the kind here, and as Gov.
Thornton has always shown not only that
he could but also that he would enforce
the laws as he found them, consequently
he incurred the enmity of such men as
Catron. The whole thing looks as though
it was one of the little tricks which Cat
ron was always trying here to get him
self talked about. If he would only dc
what the people sent him to Washington
for, and let the governor take care of the
local laws, he would deserve our ever
lasting thanks.--La Belle Cresset.

ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON,

Another "object lesson" has been
shown the country in the failure of the
Baltimore b Ohio Railway company, one
of the greatest transportation systems in
the land and penetrating the most pro-
ductive quarter OF the American CONT
nent. There must be something radi.
cally wrong when collapse comes to such
business institutions, and this something
is not hard to find. ~ exists in the fact
that in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and the
rich country contiguous to that great
trunk line farm products of all kinds are
to-day lower Than ever before in history,
made so by those exercising legislative
and executive control of the government
