War and Its Results.

After our seaso was over last fall the
Hotel was closed for the winter. Re-
Gently I discovered the house was in
tested with rats, they were destroying
the bedding and bed clothes and max
ing havoc of everything. Rat CHEESE
was recommended; I tried it and was
surprised at the marvellous result. In
a few days there was not a rat about
the place, they seemed to have left the
barns and out houses as we'll as the Ho-
tel. Every n who is pestered with
rats or mice should try Rat Cheese at
once; it did the work quickly and we'll
for me l gladly recommended it. A de-
cisive battle quickly won. Please send
me one dozen boxes by express and
oblige.

Circumstances alter cases, in politics
as we'll as in other things. A week
ago the republicans were pointing to
the odds offered on "Teddy" Roose-
welt by betting men, as indicating what
o cinch he had on the governorship of
New York. Now, when odds are no
longer to be had and thousands of dol
lars offered to bet aver remain uncov-
cred, these same republicans are say
ing, ''the betting really has nothing to
do with the campaign" This complete
somersault is one Of the most amusing
features Of the campaign. AS a matter
of fact, the change in the betting has
been brought about by the change in
the situation. When Roosevelt was
nominated, the betting men thought he
could be rushed through the campaign
on the hurrah, and that the voters of
the state would forget everything else
but that he was q brave soldier in the
Santiago campaign; consequently, they
backed hiWMfor a winner. They have
discovered the slump in the hurrah, and
now they want to hedge. Lots oil
things have shown up against Roose-
welt, not the least of which is the al
most solid opposition of the Germans,
one of the most prominent of whom
Oswald Ottendorfor, editor of the Stats
Zeitung-calls Roosevelt "a big boy"
and o sensation monger.'

Be Careful

No woman can be too careful of
her condition during the period be-
fore her little one are born. Neglect
or improper treatment then endan-
gers her life and that of the child. 1t
lies with her whether she shall suffer
unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal
shall be made comparatively easy.
She had better do nothing than do
something wrong.

The Hon. Cyrus Hyperbolic Lyle is
plethoric with emotion and is the an
nunciator of another interesting acqui-
sition to his large an annually i%ncreas-
ing family. Cy poses as a democrat of
the purest ray serene, but his latest
campaign issue bears irrefutable testi-
mony to the fact that he is badly inocu-
lated with the virus of woman's rights.
The editor breaks forth into the follow
ing rhapsody.
"Our local page is full of advertis-
ing, the editorial page is full of news
and we are full of Joy. Not because of
the above facts, but because last Satur-
day evening we drew a queen to the
two pair we had, and our hand now
consists of three queens and a pair of
jacks, and nobody's bluff can make us
lay it down. 1t is not often that we
have occasion to speak of our little
family affairs, and if we demand your
attention once a year for such occasions
we have no apologies to make. This
young lady got her dates mixed and
missed the fair one day, but she has
blue ribbon features that will make her
eligible for the next baby-show and a
lien is hereby retained on the prize then
to be given. In the meantime, she
must be fed, clothed and cared for
along with four brothers and sisters,
and we rise to remark hat now is the
time to subscribe or pay for what you
have done. Remember the parable,
'Pay for your paper and enjoy your
rest in paradise and let the editor and
little ones enjoy their stay on earth"
To Cy's last rose of summer
We swig oceans OF foam,
While this bowling newcomer
Enlivens his home.
Castoria's on the mantle
And p~aragoFie is nigh.
To keep the kid quiet,
But makes sigh for Cy.
To the mother is extended the most
exhalted congratulations, and Pa Lyle

low-craftsmen From the pen Of the
"Carter to Shelby" artist in the Nash
vile Banner.

BRIST0L'S CARNIVAL.

Bristol's First Carnival and street
fair is now an interesting bit of the his
tory of this e%nterprising town. To say
that it was q success would be putting
it mild. The citizens are satisfied, the
thousands of visitors who attended dur
ing the three days are more than salts
fed, and already all concerned are
looking forward to next year and pre-
pairing for a more generous affair in
every particular. 1t would be impos-
sible to tell you all about the Carnival
or half about Bristol in any space we
could devote to the good cause. What
we know about Bristol would make q
public library that Bristol might well
be proud of. We spent the first II
years of our life in the twin city, but
that was in the happy long ago. AS
soon as we got one eye open, as it were,
we left the village, but when we got
both open about II years later, we
wished we hadn't done so, and if we
were not now located in the best town
on earth, considered from any stand
point, we might act the part of the
prodigal son and hunt a fatted calf in
the dual city.

VOTES.

NUHES.
The banquet tables were laden with
good things and the menu bet enjoyed
themselves.
Bristol invited the editors to a feast
and if we have not paid for what we
eat we will honor a draft rthe balance.
The Colonial Ball was a pleasing fea-
ture and the grey-haired participants
seemed to enjoy themselves like young
folks.
When Jack Faw fails to respond
to any toast it will be when eight
men are carrying the box containing
his body.
Editor Price, of the Bristol Tribune,
talks about Bristol like Ole Bull plays
the violin. He talks as we'll on one
string Or theme as he could on five.
The banquet at Hotel Fairmont to
the press was q delightful affair and
reflected great credit upon Mrs. A. s.
Gump and the other ladies who had the
matter in charge,
AS a POSTMASTER, Ed. Lockett is in
his element, but we noticed that he
submitted all his impromptu remarks
to his handsome wife who seemed to be
the power to the left of the throne.
AS President of the Board of Trade,
Ed. Lockett is a signal success, as the
Carnival will testify, and if it had any
other Bristol might as well Lockett up
and disband the organization.
Landon @. Haynes is dead and SO are
some of the John Browns, but the one

can easily hold his audience spell
bound so long as he sings her praises.

doubtedly true that this company has

when they state that they have con-

taken. The Island Packing Company's
