How To Prevent Pneumonia

At this time of the year o cold ia very
easily contracted, and if left to run it's
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in
that dread disease. pneumonia. We
know Of no better remedy to cure a
cough or cold than Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given
entire satisfaction .-Olagah, Ind. Ter.
Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known
to be a certain preventive of pneumo-
mia. Among the many thousands who
have used it for colds and the grip,
we have never get learned of a single
case having resulted in pneumonia.
Persons who have weak lungs or have
reaso to fear an attack of pneumonia,
should keep the remedy at hand. The

The Political Signs Very Encouraging to Re
publicans.

At the close Of the polls on November
2, the telegraph wires were beginning to
be made hot with the news Of a complete
Democratic victory, and on the day fol-
lowing the election the overenthusiastic
Democratic papers had their old rooster
picture standing on the capitol of the
United States, and even had it that a
Democratic Senator would surely occupy
the seat Of Senator Hanna in the United
States Senate. But when the mists and
clouds had cleared away 1T was found
that the Democratic rooster had been
taken down from his lofty perch and the
American eagle, thatproud bird, emblem
OF our liberties, set up In his stead, and
the great Democratic victory had mar
rowed down to tho election OF n Mayor
OF New York upon a platform that did
not embody a single principle embodied
in the Chicago platform, and the election
OF appellate court clerk In Kentucky. A
great victory indeed.
When the complete returns were all
In in the different States 1t was found
h a the Republicans had carried Mary
land, Ohio, Iowa and made big gains in
Kansas, Colorado and other States, and
instead of Senator Hanna's chances for
the United States Senate being nipped
In the bud, German, the greatest Of po-
lltical bosses, was knocked clear out of
the box.
The result of the late election gave us
at least two more Republican Senators,
and, on the whole, was a death blow to
the free silver revolutionists. And in
stead of being discouraged, l think ev-
cry Republican and every lover Of good
government should be glad of this great
of year victory. And, further, every
citizen beneath our dag ought to be very
thankful for the great work that is be-
ing done by the present administration.
In the late campaign, in the different
States, the Democratic party began with
the same broad claims for their great
panacea, and the same contemptuous
sneers and profane maledictions for
those who opposed them as they exhibit
ed in 1896. The election of Mckinley and
a Republican Congress assured the coun-
try Of a sound and stable money, the
passage of a protective tariff law assured

A large number Of the farmers wives
of this county acquire considerable pin
money by the sale of poultry, and are
frequently on the lookout for buyers
and can usually tell a chicken peddler
as far as they can see him. A short time
ago DIR. Leah was out on Boon's Creek
and was noticed driving toward the res
idence of one of our substantial farmers
by the good housewife who announced
that "There comes a poultry buyer, and
| will sell my chickens" The DR.. drove
up and stopped, was invited in to take
dinner by the gentleman OF the house,
who knew him quite well, while he was
unknown to the ladies. They still sup
posed him to be a poultry buyer, and
asked him what he was paying for
chickens, saying they knew he was in
the business from the fact that he had so
many strings hanging from his harness.
1t took some time for the host to explain
who the stranger was, and it is safe TO
say the genial Doctor will carry fewer
string with him the next time he goes
to Boon's Creek.

AN examination Of the work Of the
new tariff law shows that the so called
protests OF foreign countries do not seem
to have availed anything more in their
effect upon our commerce with those
countries than they did in their effect
upon Congress. No attention was paid
to them by Congress, and it seems that
commerce is now paying no attention
to them. The thirteen countries which
made formal protests against certain
features Of the tariff law of 1897, in the
two months in which the details Of our
exports car be obtained, have purchased
$l3l, 446,503 in value Of our products and
merchandise, against only $lO7,O OF, 5S5 in
the corresponding months of last year
under the Wilson law. That doesn't
look much as though foreign doors were
being closed against us on account Of
the new tariff.

JOnesboro High School Notes.

All the rooms seem to have taken on
new life since the examinations; these
examinations seem to have the desired
effect in the way of stimulating the stu
dents to better work. The desire of all
students seems to be to make the required
average and reach the next higher grade.
Rev. Davis conducted our devotional
exercises Thursday morning of last
week.
Prof. H. L. Ellis was q welcome visitor
last week. He has many friends who
will always welcome him to Jonesboro.
Our hearts were again saddened by the
very unexpected death Of Miss Jessie
Smith. She was a member of the class
OF 1895. A brighter student never was
graduated from the Jonesboro High
School,. Her record in college has been
such as to make our school proud OF her
as an alumna. We sadly mourn her
seemingly untimely death and extend to
the bereaved family our sincerest SYM
pathies.
A stove has been put in the office in the
school buildings. | shall be in the office
from IL to IL 80 o'clock AM. and from

Of the school who may desire to visit us.
All are cordially invited.

THE first country to send a commits
sion to Washington to plead for reci-
procity and a general understanding
by which trade relations under the new
law should be made as compared with
those under the old law was one of the
hardest "kickers" against thatlaw when
it was under consideration. The Cana
dian Government, in sending its chief
official to Washington to open the way
for negotiations in this line, showed that
all of its complaints about our tariff and
its proposed retaliation were only for
effect, and are no longer thought of in a
retaliatory way.
