WEBSTER WASN'T A PLASTERER,
A Savannah Mason Challenged His
Definition of "sEimmed."

A good deal of attention was devoted by
Justice Naughtin yesterday to the trial
of a civil suit, in which E. D. Davis sought
to recover an amount from William Moo
nan, claimed to be due for work on a
house al Jones and Whitaker streets.
Mr.. Noonan was in charge of the i'm
provements, and Davis was the sub-con-
tractor to plaster the exterior of the
house. The contention was that Davis
had not SKINNED" the plaster and ex-
ception was taken to the work. The point
hinged on the Interpretation given the
word SKINNED" Mr.. w. B. Stubbs. at
torney for Davis, produced an unabridged
dictionary, while MIR. Noonan was on the
stand, and said as he started to read the
definition of the word
Now this is Webster's die
tionary. You know its authority"
Il do not know anything of the kind -
stated Mr. Noonan. webster knows
nothing of this contract, and what's more.
1 do not believe he is plasterer."

woman's greatest mission in this world
is to help baby. Teaching baby to eat, and
to walk and to talk A rightly constituted
woman finds in these her happiest employ
ment. Too many women miss this happi-
ness because of their own ignorance or neg
lect. No woman should be ignorant of her
own physical makeup. No woman has the
right to neglect the health of those delicate
organs of her body upon which depends the
life and health and happiness of her chill
dren. The Mosaic command to increase
and multiply" was no idle, thoughtless
edict. 1t was the command of Jehovah.
The woman who annuls it by neglect of her
womanly health commits a crime.
The best medicine for women is Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t makes
woman capable of performing her duty to
herself her husband, her children and man
kind. 1t acts directly upon the organs dis
hnctly feminine and makes them strong and
vigorous. 1t does away with the discom-
forts of the period preceding motherhood.
It makes baby's advent easy and almost
painless. 1t cures all weakness and disease
of the distinctly feminine organism.
In a family of parents and children there is
huch care, many worries, numerous perplexities
But, if sickness comes, everything else is small
beside it. How valuable then is doctor in tie
same block, or an experienced neighbor next
door. How much more comfortable for all CON
cerned is standard medical book on the table or
the bookshelf 1t is less expensive than the doc
tor, probably more reliable than the experienced
neighbor DR.. Pierces Common Sense Medical
Adviser is the best thing of this sort ever pub
lished 1t contains 1908 pages of plain talk and
careful illustrations. Many of the pictures are

Prof. Charles Sprague- Smith opened the
fourth season of the Savannah lyceum last
night before an audience that filed the
Guards hall The lecturer was TO have
spoken upon the subject 1.-THE Barbizon

main in Savannah two nights it was de-
cided that he should give first a lecture
on travel.
He took for his subject Travel Through
Spain" or as he called it, San Hour in
Spain" The lecturer carried his hearers
from the Pyrenees to the rock Of Glib
raltar. through all the ancient and historl-
cal cities of the country, showing general
and special views of the cities, of the
cathedrals the castles and other note
worthy structures. With each he gave
a brief historical description, telling what
part it had played in the drama of the
Castilian government. An attractive feat
ure was Prof Sprague-Smith's illustrated
description Of a Spanish bull fight in
which he carried the audience through
the details of what takes place In the
arena on a Spanish holiday. The lecture
was entertaining throughout and the large
audience regretted much that it closed
so early.

F. S. BEAUMONT.
A Prominent Tobacco Remainder
of Pembroke, Ky.

A prominent and valuable
mem Der of the tobacco force of
this section of a famous tobacco
district is the above named gen
tleman, Mr.. f. S. Beaumont.
For fourteen years he has been
before the producers of the coun-
try purchasing their rich pro-
duct, and preparing it for ship
ment to consumers and manufac-
turers. After the tobacco
reaches the factory of the "re-
handler" it is stemmed and
dried, and moistened, later, to
prepare it for shipment to Eu-
rope and other foreign markets.
Mr.. Beaumant's long experience
in this business has established
his name throughout the tobacco
world, and it stands, to-day,
synonymous with honesty and
justice.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1897-08-06

The premises occupy 40x100
feet and have three floors with an
annex, 40x60 feet. He operates,
in connection, a cooper-shop---
where all the barrels are made.
The facilities for handling are
unexcelled and hers were handled
some 100000 lbs. last wear.
Branch warehouses are conduct
ed at Nebo and Trenton, this
State. He employs, in all, thir-
ty-eight men, and does the larg-
est rehandling business in this
section.
Mr.. Beaumont resides at
Clarksville, Tenn. He is an en-
terprising business man, and es-
teemed in all circles.
Messrs. A. o. Dority, the resi-
dent manager at embroke, and
ID. w. Morrison. Assistant Man
ager, have both been in Mr..
Beaumont's employ for seven
years. They are expert tobacco
men, of recognized business abil-
ity, and are valuable adiuncts to
a valuable enterprise.

LYMAN McC0MB.
Tobacco RehandIer and Wheat
Buyer. Pembroke, Ky.

AS it always has been, so il
always will be, in every city-oi
whatever some mems
names write themselves upon
the pages of its history, and
stamp their identity upon every
public movement.
Here in Pembroke, we find
such a gentleman in Mr.. Lyman
McComb, who for the past twelve
years has been solidly establish
ed in this city as a tobacco and
wheat buyer. Until three years
since, he was established on a
beautiful farm, some four miles
from Penn broke, where he raised
wheat and tobacco in abundance,
and which familiarized him with
the details of the latter industry,
and, thus, equipped him for the
successful handlingof the"weed"
which work he has followed for
more than a decade.
The annual yield of this clark
leaf tobacco district" is unpre-
cedented, and many men are en-
gagged in the various branches of
the tobacco trade in this section.
That of rehandling occupies a
place, and Mr.. Nc
Combs long experience in his
field of work has made him an
accomplished sampler of the
tweed; and, accordingly, a judi
cious buyer. His honorable rep
utation has earned the confidence
of this entire. district, and he
buys from the leading farmers
and growers. He has two Sapa-
cious warehouses one 56x130
feet-and another 20X100 feet.
He handles about one million
pounds in the loose. annually.
His facilities for so doing are the
best, as his premises are fitted
in an up-to-date fashion. He is
also an extensive wheat and grain
buyer. His long experience in
