Cancer

Take Swifrs Specific. 1t is the
emily known cure for this deadly dis
ease. II viii free the system of the
poisons that cause Cancer and other
morbid growths. Even after Cancer
has deep foothold. it will cure, but
1t takes longer. II is a medicine
that goes right down to the very
roots OF life in the blood, and forces
out everr vestige of impurity. 1t
goes to the seat of the most obstin-
ate cases. which are beyond the
reach of other blood remedies.
No sufferer who cares for life can
afford to lose time With surgical
operations or torturing plasters' as
such treatment cannot reach the
blood. Swinps Specific IS the
only Real Cancer Cure on the race
of the earth.

Una carta
Sr. Don Isidoro Colon.

Mi distinguido amigo y compa51ero
Doy ustcd las mas expresivas gracias
por Ell ejemplar de su excelente obra
<Curso de Geograffa Universal y Par
ticular de los Estados- u Unidos y Puerto
Rico, que ha tenido listed la bondad
de regalarme. Juzgo dicho tratado de
gran utiiidad, pues esta escrito con
metodo, claridad y sencillez, cuaIida-
des indispensables en- toda obra didac-
tica. Pero 10 que mas me ha agradado
en- ell es ell avance dado .por listed, con-
forme los preceptos de la moderaa
Pedagogia, separandose de la rutin a
que generalmente existe en- ell pals en-
ire los que Sc dedican escribir obras
didActicas, de presentar estas en- la
forma dialogada, que Sc presta mas que
ninguna otra que en- nuestras escue-
las Sc siga con ell vetusto procedimien-
to de las lecciones de memoria, xtipo
clasico de la ensenanza verbalista, dog
matica memorista de la antigua es-
cuela.1
Bien sabe usted que no soy partfda-
rio de los libros de texto, tales como
SO usan actualmente. Los liblos de
texto, como dijo Rousseau, solo ense-
nan hablar, sobre todo d los niilos,
de 10 que no Sc sabe. Hay que deste-
rrar los textos muertos, como los
llaman los pedagogos, y preferir la
viva voz del maestro. texto vlvo,
porque esta es mas flexible y Sc pliega
mejor los alcances naturales del niflo,
y por su medic penetran mas y mejor
los conocimientos en- su inteligencia.
Acordemos siempre de 10 que dice un
notable pedagogo contemporaries sUn
buen maestro no debe nunca prescribir
mas libros que los relatives la ense-
flanza de la lectura.>
Pero icomo se sustituyen los libros
de texto? Por medic de las notas que
los educandos tomen de las explicacio-
nes, del dictado hecho al efecto por
Ell professor, quien puede 'escribir en- ell
encerado los puntos mas importantes de
la leccion explicada. De este modo el
alumno tendra, andando ell tempo, un
libro escrito por el, y que comprendera,
pues ell maestro habra procurado qce no
haya consignado en- el NADIA que no ha-
va entendido perfectamente.
Esto no quiere decir que excluyamos
por complete de nuestras escuelas los
libros. No. Estos pueden ponerse en-
manos DE- alumno cuaudo va lean bien
y sus facultades mentales tengan algdn
desarrollo, para consular sobre las ex-
plicaciones del maestro, para refres-
car, acrecentar y fortiicar los conoci-
mientos adquiridos.
Su obra de Geograffa LENA estefo5je-
to, puesto que dice todo aquello que
debe conocer ell educando, asf enla par

ments will also be fixed at this meeting.
 The interstate athletic league, composed of the athletic clubs at Nashville, Chatta- nooga and Birmingham, will arrange an- other series of basket ball games to be played in these three cities this winter. It is also possible that Montgomery will come into this league. Professor Miles has been in correspondence with c. Gunter Emore, of that city, for some time past in regard to forming an athletic club in Montgomery. MT, EImore writes that the young men Of Montgomery are ripe for the organization of such club, and that it will very prob ably be done.
 The boys and ladies' classes begin on November 1, both of them with excellent prospects.
 A great deal of hand ball is being played on the club court these days, especially by the old tennis men. It is very probable that a tournament will be arranged be- tween a number of the experts in this game.
 It again looks as if foot ball among the school boys will be revived this fall. A game for Friday, November 1, has been arr

SORROW; HOPE

I find myself entirely relieved of the trouble.
 Yours truly, M C. HAYNIE. Late Publisher East Mississippi Tribune, of Macon, Miss.
 I got over to the Grand Avenue hotel just in time to say good night to Claude Rus sell, the genial night clerk who goes to bed when every one else stays up. He had pr. Harter the worst kind, and liked to talk an arm off me about the excellence of the Iron Tonic. l managed to get this out of him before he turned in:
 Meridian. Miss, Feb. 12, 1898. Meridian Daily News:
 Gentlemen-Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has been given a thorough trial by me and has done me so much good l feel cannot say too much in it's praise. My appetite had left me, 1t was almost impossible for to be out of order. I was paying out large sums of money in doctors bills and re- ceivfng no permanent benefit. Several travelling men extolled the virtues of pr. Harters Iron Tonic, and I was induced to try it. Since taking the tonic I have no difficulty from Insomnia, my appetite is completely restored. and 1 feel as a man should. Yours respectfully.
 CLAUDE RUSSELL,
 Night Clerk Grand Ave. Hotel As I started out of the Grand Avenue I met Officer Lowry coming in. He didn't look like man that had ever needed medi- cine and expected he'd take me in for "defamation of character" something worse if ] said pr. Harter to him. But he didn't. He went up to the desk, called for stationery, and Wrote out the following. like the editor of daily paper:
 Msridian, Miss, Feb. l2,- 1898. Dear Sir-I have tried Dr. Iarter's Iron Tonic thoroughly, first by using a sample bottle and following that by two more l.,t1k s.. a wonderful manner.

On quiet tip from Policeman Lowry I hurried over to headquarters and inter viewed Sergeant Price. He found time to do this for the public good:

 Sergeant Meridian Police. The sergeant told me he knew the sheriff had taken few bottles, and chased over to Sheriff Reeds office. He didn't say or write much. but the little he did give me was right to the point. Here it is: Meridian, Miss, Feb. 12, 1898. Editor News:
 Dear Sir-From my personal experience with Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic, th'nk it the best thing in the market.
 Sheriff Lauderdale Co.,, Miss.
The age-herald., 1898-10-23

From the Meridian (Miss.) Daily News I am going to take the public into my confidence. am reporter on the News Yesterday was assigned to peculiar task one that looked very formidable on the start, but proved very easy. was to go about town and ask every man and wo- man I met what experience they had had with pr. Harter's Iron Tonic.
 "You know" said the editor, "thousands of bottles were given away in Meridian while ago. Everybody got one, and they have been taken by this time, and the public wants to know what the effect has been in general. So tackle everybody you meet. Ask them, too, to put their expe- rience in writing over their own signature. When you have filled a column report at the otfice."
 Did you receive bottle?" asked the editor.
 Yes, and took it, and gave it to the family, and have been buying it ever since"
 Then, as you are the first man I meet I'd like your testimonial, please" And I got 1t. Read this:

 C1he oldest daily in Mississippi Whom should meet as I went out of the door, resolved upon rounding up the entire population in my quest, but MT. J. D. Ryan, who runs medicine foundry of his own. The last man in the world to give up a letter over his own signature recom- mending some other preparation, I thought, but I hailed him. Mir Ryan was a little stunned at my proposition, but when I showed him the editors letter of indorse- ment, he wrote me out the following:
 Meridian, Miss, Feb 12, 1898. Gentlemen-I have known MT. J. J. Hay nie for many years. know he would not sign his nome to any sta tsmept that was Respectfully, J: J. RYAN, Proprietor Ryan Electric Medicine Co. This was an indorsement of the editor if 1t wasn't of the Iron Tonic, and I thought l was pretty lucky to get that much from him.
 MT. M. c. Haynie, until recently publish CT of the East Mississippi Tribune, of Ma con, followed MT. Ryan in the door before I got outside, and true to my task, assail- ed him with questions. To my surprise he knew all about the preparation, and evinced it by penning the following strong letter:
 Meridian, Miss, Feb. 12 1898. Editor Daily News:
