The affirmati ve vote will have no effect in counties where the five or ten mile church or school special acts are in force.

you can shake the Ague by using AYERS AGUE CURE. It is the one certain and infallible cure for that depicting disease. It has been tried in many countries and under various conditions, and has never been known to fail. An old veteran writes::-
 "You may be interested to know my ex- perience many years ago with Ayers Ague Cure. The year before the war was in Kansas. Some twenty of us were engaged in farming, and suddenly all were taken with fever and ague. We tried almost everything without getting any help till at last I sent to the city and procured a bottle of Ayers Ague Cure. recovered at once. The others fol- lowed my example, and they, too, recovered. Every one in camp took the remedy and was cured by it. I went all through the war, have lived in thirteen different states of the Union, and have never had the ague since."

Obituary.

Died in Bolivar, Tenn, Nov.
18th, 1898, Mrs. Mary Louise Til
Ter. The subject of this notice was
born in Purdy, McNairy County,
Tenn, July 28th, 1851. She came
to Bolivar when quite young, and
the most of her life was spent here.
During her last illness, she was sur
rounded by many friends of her
childhood. She was a patient, un-
complaining sufferer. All that de-
voted children and kind friends
could do to alleviate suffering was
done, until the all wise Father, who
doeth all things we'll, called her to
rest. Her unobtrusive manner and
kindness of heart won the hearts of
those who knew her, as the beauti-
full flowers now whitening on the
grave bear evidence.
Though dead, she still lives
Lives in the memory of loved ones.
Ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless is life;
There are no dead. A FRIEND.

Two Pointed Questions An
SWor0d.

What is the use of making a bet
ter article than your competitor if
you cannot get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only
the better, so that while our prof
it's may be smaller on a single sale
they will be much greater in the ag-
gregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the lest?
If both articles are brought prom
inently 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 on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years
and have found that it can always
be depended upon. They may oc-
casionally take up some fashionable
novelty put forth with exaggerated
claims, but are certain to return to
the one remedy that they know to
be reliable, and for coughs, colds
and Group there is nothing equal to
Chamberlaip's Cough Remedy. For
sale by W. J. Cox, Bolivar; J. W.
Nuckolls, Toone.

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in
this country. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were I'M
dermined and death seemed immi-
nent. For three months she cough
ed necessarily, and could not sleep.
She finally discovered way to re-
covery, by purchasing of US bottle
of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, and was so much re-
lieved on taking first dose that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,
has been absolutely cured. Her
name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus

Sam Davis Death.

An advance sheet of the Confed-
erateV eteran contains the following,
copied here as this is the thirty-ffth
anniversary of Sam Davis death on
the scaffold at Pulaski. The Veteran
reports former tribute and liberal
contribution from the author, &. B.
Vanpelt, for the monument fund.
This letter is dated South Bend,
Ind, Nov %, 1898, and is as fol-
lows:
81 have read with much interest
the Veteran for October, and find
many references to the hero, Sam
Davis. l have longing desire to
see Pulaski and stand near the spot
where his noble life went out and
shed tear on that consecrated site
as meager tribute to his lovely
memory, having shared all of his
boyhood sympathy in his hour of
trial. l am so solemnly interested
in the oft-told story that there comes
to me now, on the near approach of
that dread anniversary, a still
stronger feeling of love for the dear
boy hero. l think of him as he was:
noble, brave, and true, a veritable
hero, too loyal to be false to his
cause and too brave, heroic to be a
coward. In those bright days of
youth, with that Unborn spirit of
mothers love so deeply impress
ed upon the heart of every young
hero, Confederate or Federal, there
outcropped that spirit to do his coun-
try's biddings which simply dis
credits history. Sam Davis, pure
and glorified martyr, on that No
vember day, 1868, stepped to his
death from point of view based
upon loyalty to the cause of the
Confederacy and his personal honor.
think of him as | knew him, of
the tears we shed in common love
and sympathy, and that last night
before his entrance into a glorified
future, where he now stands, the
peer of all those who have departed
this life in the heyday Of youth, in
spired wholly and solely by that
sense of patriotism which can be on
| ly God-given. l think of many in
terviews we had when my heart was
almost broken through affectionate
sympathy, and of my prayers for
the preservation Of his life, that
some act of providence might inter
vene whereby he could in honor to
his country, his family, and himself
60 free.
"The fatal day arrived, and then
came the end of young manhood
replete with all the endowing at
tributes worthy of the unstinted ad.
miration of the American republic.
May we, North and South, vie III
the monument enterprise to be ded-
icated to the memory of Sam Davis!

From Jackson sun, November 2gth.I
There is yet living in West Ten
nessee Que of the most noted char
acters of the early days of the state
Gen. Il. p. Nicely, of Bolivar.
Perhaps there never lived a man in
the state of a more eventrul career.
lie is nearing the century mark,
and participated in every war in
which the country has engaged for
three-quarters of century previous
to the recent little brush with Spain,
including many of the Indian trou-
bles. He was a Confederate officer
and a gallant soldier in the war be-
tween the states. In the peaceful
history OF his state for many, many
wears he was a notable figure, being
one of the pioneer business men of
this section when yet in possession
of the Indians. H. was one of the
chief promoters and builders, and
was afterwards president of the old
Mississippi Central railroad, now
the Jackson and Water Valley di-
vision of the great Illinois Central
system, and passed as an officer of
the road through all the stages of
that line to It's becoming a part of
the Illinois Central. In social and
literary circles, Gen. Nicely is
especially brilliant, being a man of
the broadest views and of the most
genial spirits. For him there is al
ways a ray of sunshine in the black
est cloud. He raised a most inter
esting family, each member of
which became an ornament to the
society of the state. The pity is
that the evening of the life of this
distinguished citizen and pioneer is
being spent in gloom. Some years
ago Gen. Nicely lost his eye-sight,
but this calamity in no wise dimmed
his spirits or chilled his heart. If
possible, it gave to his active intel
lect and memory a better scope, and
brOadened his views of the beauties
of life. He Is now old and a mine of
memories, whose lights should not
be permitted to go out before his

THERE are two kinds of legisla-

of the people, the other looks after
his own interest. 1t is a lamenta-
BILE fact that the latter is largely in
the majority.
