Wellman is blessed again with the
smiling facep of the three sweet girls

THE LEADER is not SO attractive when
Sawdust and Jeems are not in it.

many thanks to The LEADER for the
well-printed literature received few
days ago. 1t was an excellent job.
Mrs. Sawdust thinks that she and
sister Jeems could do some excellent
work on Jeems, as one has washing
machine and the other scalding ma
chine.
Sawdust has just received second
challenge for discussion, which he
has accepted. We suppose his oppo-
nent has been studying since his last
defeat and thinks that he can now
come out best. The time and place
are not settled on.

Some people in the world persist in
clinging to old methods. There are men
who still use forked stick in place of a
modern plow. There are also men, who.
when they are troubled with a disordered
stomach or liver resort to the old fashioned
violent remedies that rack and rend the
whole body, and while they give temporary
relief, in the long run do the entire system
a great amount of harm.
Modern science has discovered remedies
infinitely superior to these old fashioned
drugs, that do their work by promoting the
natural processes of excretion and secre-
tion and gently correcting all circulatory
disturbances. When a man feels generally
out of sorts, when he loses sleep at night,
when he gets up headachey and with bad
taste in his mouth in the morning, when he
feels dull and lethargic all day, when his
appetite is poor and his food distresses
him, when work comes hard and recreation
may not believe it, is a pretty sick man.
He is on the road to consumption, nervous
prostration, malaria. or some serious blood
disease. In cases of this description man
should resort at once to DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t is the best medicine
for weak stomach, impaired digestion
and disordered liver 1t is the great blood
maker and purifier, fesh-builder and nerve
tonic. II cures oS per cent. of all cases of
consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs
and kindred ailments. Thousands have
testified to its marvellous merits. II Is
modern, scientific medicine that aids
without goading nature, and that has stood
the test for thirty years. Medicine dealers
sell it,
Dr.. Pierce's Pellets cure constipation.

NOTICE.

To the Churches of Fair River Baptist AsSocia-
tion:
The Baptist State Convention will
meet July IA, at Brookhaven, which Is
about the center of the associational
territory. This will give an opportu-
nifty to many who have never been
able to attend meeting of the con-
vention, to do so. The churches may
all be represented by one or more del
egates. Many of our people live near
enough to attend the meetings of the
convention each day from their homes.
This they are requested to do, and
bring dinner, as the people in Brook
haven will doubtless be taxed heavily
in providing for those who come from
a distance. If all who live within or
8 miles of town will arrange to take
some who may come from a distance,
by private conveyance, they will rem.
der material aid in helping to provide
homes for all who may attend the meet.

Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage of
it. A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until ne
cessity compels it and then ruin his
best horse going for doctor and have
big doctor bill to pay, besides one
pays out 25 cents, the other is out a
hundred dollars and then wonders
why his neighbor is getting richer
while he is getting poorer. For sale

Miss Lowell weds-A Romantic Love

story.
st the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
f. Willis, where during the past school
term the bride has made her home,
Miss Lou Lowell was yesterday happi-
ly welded to Mr.. VIM. T. Gorden, Rev.
r. L. Dale performing the ceremony.
The wedding came as surprise to
most of our people, and it has connect
ed with it a tinge of that romance
which always adds zest to the reports
of affairs Of the heart.
Miss Lowell has been teaching school
ever since she was mere girl, starting
out to make her own way In the world
and to contribute to the support OF a
mother and younger sisters. She
achieved marked success in her voca-
ton, and for years previous to com
ing to Temple, she was principal of the
public school at Brookhaven, Miss.
She was principal of the First Ward
school in Temple the past year and to
the regret Of all school workers her in
tentions to quit teaching were made
known.
About II years ago, at the New York
Chautauqua,this couple met and loved.
Their ways drifted apart after the
session, and their brief experience of
loves lessons we're remembered only
as pleasant dreams. Somewhere, each
knew there was kindred soul. After
years had gone by, Miss Lovells ad-
dress was learned by the happy man,
who had by this time become promi-
nent citizen of Pensacola, Fla. He
wrote for renewal of the pledges only
half whispered long ago, and he
found willing ears to listen.
Mr.. Gorden arrived in the city last
Sunday and for the first time in Il
years saluted his bride. After the
ceremony yesterday, which was only
in the presence of few friends, the
happy and handsome couple mbarked
for visit to the Tennessee home and
to other points Of mutual interest, aft
er which they will return to that de-
lightful city by the seas, where the
orange blossoms are in perpetual
bloom. The Tribune, with the many
warm friends and well-wishers, joins
in showering benedictions. - Dails
