Story of a. Slave.

TO be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is the
worst form of slavery. George D.
Williams, Of Manchester, Mich,
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: "My wife has been
so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters, she is wonderfully improv-
ed and able to do her own work. :"
This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, headache,
backache, fainting and dizzy spells.
This miracle working medicine is a
godsend to weak, sickly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed.

For an Editor to Recon-
mend Patent Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, n. CT
1t may be a question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right
to publicly Recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as proven
tive of suffering we feel it duty TO
say a good word for Chamberlain
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy. We have known and used
this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found
it reliable. In many cases a dose
of this remedy would save hours of
suffering while physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depend
ing implicitly on any medicine for a
cure, but we do believe that if a bot
tie of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea
Remedy were kept on hand and adj
ministered at the inception of an
attack much suffering might be
avoided and in very many cases the
the presence of physician would
now be required. At least this has
been our experience during the past
twenty years. For sale by w. j..

AppOrtiOnment of Insane.

In response to an inquiry from
Comptroller King, who questioned
the right of Superintendent Doug
las to admit patients to the West
Tennessee Insane Hospital from
counties which had already received
their full proportion Of patients, At
torney-GeneraJ Pickle holds:
"That the hospital is entitled TO
receive per diem SIS inmates, as
provided by the appropriation act
of 1899, and that this number must
be equitably and approximately adj
justed among the several counties
of She western district, IN proper
ton to population.
s'That no county is entitled to
more than the maximum number OF
inmates thus ascertained upon the
basis of population or other relia-
bic basis.
mo inmate can be assigned or
charged to county other than the
county from which he or she was
sent"
Superintendent Douglas informs
us that it has been the custom of
the management of the Western
Hospital since its opening, Novem-
Der 22nd, 1899, to fill its quota of
INDECENT patients by receiving an
excess from some counties and charg-
ing same to other counties with a
less number of patients than they
are entitled to under the pro rata
plan, which is one 10 about every
one thousand population. This
course was pursued not with any in
tention of violating the law, but
purely for the sake of humanity
to relieve the over-crowded condi-
tons of the jails and poor houses
of insane. Heretofore, no COM
plant has ever been made in regard
to the matter, and the Comptroller
has always prPmptly honored all
acquisitions.
We learn that the total number
of excess patients in the Western
Hospital amounts to about l25.
According othe opinion Of the At
torney General this excess viii
either have to no dismissed from
the institution and returned to the
jails and poor houses in the several
counties from which they were sent,
or become charges upon said coun-
ties at the rate of sll.65 per month
for each patient.

A Last Sad Appeal.

EDITOR BULLETIN-1t has been
said, and truly, that Bolivar is one
of the healthiest towns in the state.
1t is simple matter to account for
it. Once a year the corporate au-
thorities issue a little ten by twelve
''dodger," notifying the citizens to
"clean up" under dire penalties.
Immediately every man, woman
and child in the place proceeds to
take a bath, the front door steps
are swept, the door knobs are pol
ished, and we are clean for twelve
months, when the notice is carried
around and the same old thing is
done over again.
The town is also noted for it's pa
tient, law when we have any law
abiding citizens, and they can VIC
late it when they please. We have
great many advantages and cur
visitors can soon find them out.
We have the roar of the shotgun
and the crack of the pistol to soothe
our wearied nerves to sweet and
dreamless sleep on warm sum mer
nights.
We have the melodious and reso-
nant voice of the Mexican mountain
hooking bird, which rises, swells
and reverberates, turns, twists and
winds through the stalls with the
noise of foghorn with bad cold,
and bursts through the door and
the holes in the wall like a Kansas
cyclone, to gladden. our hearts and
split our ears with its music.
THAT strain again! it has dying fall;
Oh it came Ger my ear like the sweet South"
We have the odors of all the per-
fumes of Araby; from the double
distilled essence of hog pens, dog
pens and sheep pens, to the putrid
smell of the livery stables. We
have the streets around court square
used for hitching places and feed
stables, where the gay and festive
flies ("durn a fiy'') do congregate
and swarm into our stores and
offices.
And we have a Board of Alder
men and Board of Health, who
are ''sot IN their ways" and seem to
be glad that we have all these bless
ed privileges and want TO enjoy
them unto life's end, or as long as

different parts of Hardeman,
and from Chester and Nc
Marry Counties.

The address of welcome.
Prayer was offered by Rev.
W. Q. Young, of Adams
vile, after which remarks
were made by Elder w. H.
Jordan, of Nashville. Hon.
A. j. Coates delivered an in
teresting address to the Mu-
steal Society, which is COM
posed of quite a number of
the young people of the
neighborhood. The music
furnished by this society was
an attractive feature of the
program. Miss Ophie Doris,
the beautiful and accomplish
ed daughter of DIR. G.. NJ.
Doris, performed upon the
organ aud the the following
assisted on the violin, guitar
and banjo: Misses Lucy

These young people possess
a high degree of musical tai
ent, and their renditions
were a treat.
About IL o'clock it was
announced by the manage
ment that Hon. A. j. Coates
would address the audience
in the grove. The crowd
assembled around the speak
ers' stand. Mr.. Coates, after
appropriately abiding to the
day, proceeded to speak upon
the duty citizen owes to his
country. He impressed upon
his hearers the necessity of
placing men of honor in po-
sition, men who will uphold
the right and condemn the
wrong; men of stamina, who
will expose fraud wherever
found. He cited instances
where devotion to principle
and the faithful performance
of duty had resulted in tenn
porary defeat, but had re-
bounded to the peoples in
terest and the public good,
is, and should be, the
only aim of a patriotic, hon
est public servant. In this
connection, Mr.. Coates took
occasion to mention his rela-
ton as Trustee with the
Western Hospital for the In
sane. He spoke of how the

money of the taxpayers, ap,
propriated for the mainte
nance of the unfortunate, had
been diverted; how he dis
! cct cred the great wrong and
exposed it through the public
print; "and," he said, "the
statement [ published in re-
gard to that wrong is as true
as the eternal hills, and has
never been denied. :" He in
formed his hearers of the
treatment he had received for
doing his duty by the people
how he had been bounded
by politicians and removed
from office before the .expira-
ton of his term, without
cause. He said our local
representatives acted the
strange part Of assisting in
removing him from office for
doing his duty. He dwelt
along this line. In concIu=
sion, he paid his respects to
that unholy measure, the
"dead body BILL" passed by
the last Legislature, and held
it up to the public gaze in all
of it's horrors.
Mr.. Coates speech over,
dinner was announced. And
such a dinner! Long lines
of tables, erected under the
stately oaks, fairly groaned
beneath the weight of almost
everything that can be thought
of tempting to the appetite,
prepared in the best manner
by the good housewives Of
the neighborhood. After
everybody had been served,
there was enough left to feed
a thousand more. An album
dance of pure, cold water
gushed from a bold spring at
the foot of the hill and it was
literally patrOnized.
About l o'clock, pm,
speaking was resumed. APP
propriate and interesting adj
dresses were delivered by
Professors G. NJ. Gooch, W.
l.. Fish, j. L. Afford and D.
e. Bishop. The young gentle
men acquitted themselves
with credit and were highly
complimented.
The master of ceremonies
announced that the above
closed the program, but that
any one present who desired
to speak could do so.
HON.. A. Foster was call
ed for and responded. He
thanked the people for the
opportunity of addressing
them. He said as the repre-
sentative Of Hardeman Coun-
ty in the legislature he had
tried to do his duty; that he
was present every day, an
swered to every roll call, vot-
ed on every important bill,
and that his record was open
for inspection. He said he
had been a candidate for Of
fee and had been defeated,
but he had never gone over
the country whining about
it. Mr.. Foster said that
nearly all of the ground had
been covered by the speakers
who preceded him, but one
thing had been omitted, the
of the Declaration of
independence. He read it.
