cATARRH.

Is a constitutional disease, and can be successfully treated only by means of constitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla, which thoroughly purifes the blood and removes the scrofulous taints which cause catarrh. The great number of testimonials from thosa who have been cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla prove the unequalled power of this medicine over Catarfh.

CONNECTS POORLY FED

The committee appointed by toe grand jury to inspect the poor house, have made their report to MT. c. H. Triplett, foreman of the grand jury. The committee is com posed of the following gentlemen: Messrs J. ". Murphy, W. W. Byrd and J. H. Eddins, chairman of the committee.
 The report is as follows:
 To Ho1. c. H. Triplett, Foreman: We, your committee appointed to inspect the Jefferson county poor house, wish to report as follows We found the poor house and prem ises in good condition and properly kept. The inmates, nine in num- Der, at the time of the inspection Oct. 20, 1899) were all well treated, properly fed and clothed. In fact, we found all things at the county poor house in good, clean and whole some condition; and with one exceP- tion. we have no suggestions to make, that being that, the grand jury recommend that County Judge W. D. Jones be instructed to have a stairway added to the west inside of the house, as the stairs now in use are on the outside of the build. ing and are very narrow and incon- yenient in many ways, especially for moving any large article up or down same. In fact, they are so narrow that should one of the in- mates die up stairs the body would, of necessity, have to be carried down stairs before it could be placed in a coffin, the stairs being so arranged as to make it impossible to carry coffin up them.
 Respectfully submitted,

WAR OF WIND IS WHAT HAS BEEN lNSTl- TUTED AGAINST SLOT
 MACHINES.
FOREWARNED, FOREARMED
Grand Jury Adjournment Causes Slot Machines to Come
 Again.

The grand jury has adjourned. It's labors are over. The cyclone has passed and the slot machines are on. 1t was a noticeable fact that the morning the grand jury went in ses- sion the slot machines in great many places were relegated to the walls of oblivion. They were kept in hiding until the adjournment of the grand jury. With that body's adjournment the slot machines, like the cat. came back.
 The concluding lines of the grand jury report is sufficient evidence to convince all that no complaints were made to them about slot ma chimes; if such have been made to them then, according to their report they have been derelict in the per formance of their duty.
 The concluding lines of their re- port is, having disposed of all mat ters before us'' is self explanatory as to why the slot machines were not plugged.
 Those. who in the past, have been holding their hands up in holy hOr- TOT at such an institution as the slot machines In this community, should now either keep still or have a special grand jury called. The chief of police of this city led the way for the aholishment of this means of spending. money to get it's worth why others who regard the slot machine as a dangerous article" did not see to their removal is a query.
 The grand jury performed it's duty inasmuch as they took cognizance "of all matters presented" before them. Their report is hard hitter to the magistrates. The cows were also given space, but that which so much has been said about and over which such a calamity has been brought to light was left unhamp- cred.
 It is no ones fault but those who have kicked 10 strenuously, that they did not invite that body's at tention to same. Let us hope that in the future when kicks against slot machines are started that the people who are the cause of such a war of wind will not forget the fact that the grand jury attends to such matters. We can now since the grand jury have made their report, us far as slot machines are concern ed, tell our troubles to the police man
