THE OLD WAY
OfTreatins Dyspepsia and Indigcs.
tiOu BY Dieting a EarbarOns and
Useless One.

useless Ones
We say the old way. but really 1t Is
very common one at present time anu
many dyspeptics and physicians as wei
consider the first step to take in at
tempting to cure indigestion Is to diet,
either by selecting certain foods ana
rejecting others or to greatly diminish
the quantity usually taken. in other
words the starvation plan is by many
supposed to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of the star
walton cure for dyspepsia has been
proven time and again, but still the
moment Dyspepsia makes its appear
ance n course of dieting is at once
advised.
All this is radically wrong. II is
foolish and unscientiiic to recommend
dieting or starvation to a man suffering
from Dyspepsia, because Indigestion
itself starveS every organ and every
nerve and every fibre in the body.
What the Dysoentic wants is album
dant nutrition, which means plenty OF
good. wholesome, well-cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
to digest it. This is exactly the pur-
pose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are adapted and this Is the method
by which they cure the worst cases of
Dyspepsia. in other words the patient
gets plenty of wholesome food and Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets digest 1t for
him. In this way the system is nour-
ished and the overworked stomach rest
ed, because the tablets will digest the
food whether the stomach works or not.
ne Of these tablets will digest 5000
grains of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest
and safe st remedy sold for stomach
troubles and every trial makes one
more friend for this excellent prepara-
ton. Sold at Scots. for full sized pack
age at all drug stores.

advanced the opinion that they were

that the average farmer could better

prevents men from paying the same IT
tention to the little nceties of life which
they have done in the past. While this
is doubtless true of many men, our critics
seem to have made a mistake in using the
word mariners" instead of Ceremony"

CAssvuLE, August 29.-The home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. J. IN. Tough near Cass-

last Wednesday, Aug. %, by the mar
riage Of their only daughter, Miss Mo-
randa, to Mr.. Elroy Henry, of Laurel

Congress of all Nations.

A rally of all races. and colors was
held at the Academy last Thursday
night. The attendance, although a
very liberal invitation had been ex-
tended to the voters was rather
slim. The chief attractions were a
clog-dance by Jim Smith and a
speech by Hon. Geo. c. Sturgist
Jim's effort aroused the greatest
enthusiasm of the evening and
brought forth wild applause.
Mr.. Sturgiss explained that the
tariff was the real issue of the cam.
paign but as the money question
was the secondary one, that he would
devote the greater part of his time
to discussion of financial matters.
This abounded in references to a
sound dollar, 80 100 cent dollar
"honest money, honest work and
honest government, all of which
will be recognized as old aequaint-
ances. The speech, however, was
up to the standard of Republican
speeches this year. They are all
the same. Officers were elected and
a repetition of the outbreak is
threatened.
Edgar Stewart who was chosen
temporary chairman, made a decla-
ration, which may interest any in
tending boilers. He said, while /
am going to vote for Mckinley and
and Hobart, | am in favor of a gold
Democratic ticket, because it will
aid in the election of the Republi-
can nominees.

he sees brighter times ahead in the
successful sale of the bicycle at

One of the residents en- Beechurst
came to town recently and swore out
a warrant for the arrest Of VIM. Will
kins, who it was alleged was running
gambling joint down there. The
yigilant police soon had the culprit
and he was brought to speedy
trial. The evidence showed that a
game of penny-ante was in nightly
progress at Wilkins house and that
young women of questionable repu-

Justice Hagans bound the prisoner
over to meet the grand jury, on 500

The registrations of the different

are awake know it hence their visits
here. The Franklin shows total
registration of S02. The Wallace
shows 1928; while the Peabody regis

total of 2067 for the dullest month
in the year.
THE prisoners, whom the sheriff
had put in the cages for causing
the sewer to overflow, remained there
until Saturday. They were told that
when they they got ready to clean
up that they would be released and
allowed to do it. The festive chaps
thought that they could stand it as
long as the sheriff and told him so.
This reused the sherif9s dutch and
he became determined to bring them
to time. They stood the unwonted
restraint until Saturday and then
came down the bush gracefully and
and cleaned up the Jail doing very
neat Job.
