Two NOR7WS AND TWO
SOUTH.S.

How pleasant and how inspiring to
read of one country. one flag one race
united into one homogeneous composite
unit. In this country the expression is
true in many respects but some not.
There are two Norths, one selfish. grasp
ing. corrupt and lawless. made up of
anarchists. strikers and trusts. The
other North. unseltish, liberal. pure
and just made up of phiIantrophists,
patriots and promoters of benefaction
There are two Souths. one proud
quarrelsome. vindictive I'M merciful COM
posed Of murders. redshirts and mock
aristocracy. There is another South,
generous. merciful, chivalrous and law
abiding made up of philantropists, pa
triots and defenders Of law. The last
North and South are the united North
and South or atleast should be, it is
our kind and when it begins to labor to
destroy the evil and sentiment of the
other North and South, greater accom-.
plishments will cometo America then
ever before. The past must he forgott-
en- new ties formed based upon the
true worth of man his morals and aualh
f1cations and not upon his past condi-
lions or nationality.

Two POINTED QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
What is the use IF making a better
article than competitor if you can not
get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the pnblic to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promin'
emily before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and
use only the better one.
This explains the large sale or
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years and
have found that ic can always be de-
pended upon. They may occaslonl1y
take up with some fashionable novelty

but are certain to return to the one
remedy that they know to be relia BILE

is nothing equa, to Chamberlain

PARENTS DUTY TO THEIR
CW/LDREN.

The children in this generation have
almost gone astray from that true path
of manhood aud womanhood which
alone leads nation to success This
cause, is the failure of parents to
teach train and dicipline their children
while young. as rule they don't use
that due care as they should. You
should know their associates, keep them
off OF the streets after night have them
at home studying their books or learn
ing music. You should make your
home pleasant and attractive for them:
teach them to love one another and to
always avoid idleness and bad company.
Parents. it is duty that you owe from
past experiences to be Very careful in
the raising of your children.
