A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but
there is really no trick about it.
Anybody can try it who has
lame back and weak kindeys,
malaria or nervous troubles. We
mean he can cure himself right
away by taking Electric Bitters.
This medicine tones up the whole
system, acts as a stimulant to liver
and kidneys, is a blood purifier
and nerve tonic. 1t cures consti-
patton, headache, fainting spells,
sleeplessness and melancholy. 1t
is purely vegetable, a mild laxa-
tive, and restores the system to its
natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters
and be convinced that they are
miracle worker. Every bottle guar
anteed. Only soc bottle at w. ].
Cox's Drug Store.

Bad management keeps more peo-
pie in poor circumstances than any
other one cause. To be successful
one must look ahead and plan ahead
so that when a favorable opportuni-
ty presents itself he is ready to take
advantage of it, A little forethought
will also save much expense and
valuable time. A prudent and care
full man will keep a bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy in the house, a shift
less fellow will wait until necessity
compels it and then ruin his best
horse going for doctor and have a
big doctors 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

The GAINESVILLE Times makes the
following sensible remarks: ''Du-
ring the war excitement the people
of Tennessee should not lose sight
of the fact that Tennessee is the
worst governed state in the Union.
War or no war taxes go on, and If a
change is not inaugurated the outgo
will still be larger than the income
and these periodical trips to New
York to borrow money will have to
be kept up by our state officials. Ex-
penses must be curtailed in state af-
fairs. The place to start the ball is
at the State convention, which meets
at Chattanooga, June 90. Make
the platform right and then see that
it is carried out in both letter and
spirit"

Our Company ranks among the first

ourselves in camp by singing, play

house," in fact almost everything
imaginable is going on-but when
our captain calls out for drill, every
thing is quiet and all are in line in
three minutes. The health of our
boys is good. We have fine water,
both well and spring. Our grub
consists of bread, beef, onions, po-

have all been equipped with uni
