About one month ago my child {,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of dlarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. I gave it such remedies
as are usually given IN such cases,
but as nothing gave relief, we sent
for physician and it was under his
care for week. At this time the
child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty
five operations of the bowels every
twelve hours, and we were cons
WINGED that unless it soon obtained
relief it would not live. Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was recommended. and L
decided to try it. 1 soon noticed q
change for the better; by Its con-
tinued use a complete cure was
brought about and 1T is now perfect

TO The TEACHERS OF PEARL
RIVER COUNTY.

As superintendent of ed ucation
for Pearl River county, it is my
duty TO again call your attention to
the fact that our Teachers Insti.
tute will open on Monday. August
~, and to urge your attendance.
1t affords me pleasure to think
OF our institute last year, because
there was greater per cent. of our
teachers in attendance than any
other county in the State; because
of the interest manifested by the
teachers and the conductor; because
of their noble resolves that
have clearly demonstrated Them
selves in their earnest and faithful
work. All the progress has been
made which could be expected
from our surroundings.
But to the point: The teaching
corps of this county. although an
excellent one, is, in my judgment.
not yet perfect; but being a modest
man and occupying a back seat in
the teaching profession as 1 do, 1
shall refrain from saying anything
on this subject, lest some one
should say: Gle is arrogating to
himself what belongs to another. :"
But l most earnestly invite every
teacher to attend this Institute, be-
cause, as l said, we need profess
sional zeal and training. If you
are occupying a frcnt seat, you
should attend to do others good !;
if you are not in the front ranks,
you should attend for your own
good and the good of the children
entrusted to your care. 80 let
every teacher come and prove to
the world that the teaching profes.
sion of Pearl River county is an
exception to the universal law that
all callings are doomed to be inns
posed upon by some "dead-head"
failures.
Hoping to meet twenty. five teach.

SCHiEFFELlN MONUMENT
Effort Being Made to Prevent
 Possible Dissertation.

Some time since G. H. Fitts was prompted to write "Our Mark" sug- gesting that a permanent reservation be set aside by Congress to mark the -ssting place of Ed Schieffelin, To.ab stoae's discoverer, the object being to prevent any one with Hhoulish inter- tions from making & mining location of the gro und with view oi annoying the relstivss and a1ac.ing a ransom. While such may not be probable, it IS nevertheless prssitle such nefarIsus work b.ing reported almost daily in the news of the world, and with Ari. roma and this seclion more densely populated in years to come, may sug. gest itsslf to some ipiquitous indi- vidual. The thoughtfu'ness of MT. Fitts will commend its If. The id.a wac favorably received by our dele gate, who in reply has the isllowing g to gay regarding same:
 "l am in receipt of your letter touching the Scbiehelin monument Yonr letter does no. describe the ground sufiici. tly for me to intrc- dnce bill for e permanent reserva- tion so that this monument to poor Ed might bs free from vsndal hands forever. Please send me such a de- scriPtion of the land-not making the reservation too large-so that I can clearly identity il, and l will take pleasure in carrying out the very humane suggestions which occurred ts you before writing the letter.

Recently the Secretary of the Interior ruled that any one wishing to patent a group of claims could do all the development work on one claim, if it tended to develop the entire group, and was virtually only required te make an expenditure of $500 for work or labor or improve ment on each group of claims. but the regulations of the General Land Otlee, approved Dec. i5, 1897, now require that no lees than $500 worth of work or labor shall be expended on improve ment- made upon each claim before entitled te patent
