men, as he was with all classes of peo-
pie with whom he came in contact
He was high-toned young man of
sterling character, and possessed Of
many noble and generous traits. Eight
years ago he was married to Miss
Jennie Martin, sister of ex-Sheriff w.

On last Saturday morning the piano
class OF Miss Modie Moore, who teaches
music as an adjunct of the graded
school, gave recital. The class Is
composed OF little girls under twelve
years OF age, with few exceptions, and
their execution was remar kable, show
ing conclusively that Miss Moore has
but few superiors anywhere as a teacher
OF the piano. The performers were
alive with eagerness and in no instance
did they disappoint their teacher, their
parents, or those assembled to hear
their renditions. Quite a number were
present to listen to the following
excellent program:

Questions Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Neavous prostratiOn or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the ner-
vous and organic action, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's Au-
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there Is nothing serious

BLUES IN GRAYSPORT.
The Heavy Rains Cause the People to
Feel Downcast Over Prospects.

GRAYSPORT, June I, 1905.
EDIroR SENTINEL:
Did you ever have the blues? II not
you had better be careful to avoiu
communication with anyone from this
part of the county, for we have all got
'em. We are having "a fearful rsin
this evening, which with all that has
previously fallen, will make an overflow
inevitable, and you know what that
means at this season OF the year TO the
farmers along the valley OF the
Yalobusha. Though the rain should
cease nov and the overflow be mir
Iaculously averted it would be i'm
possible, On account OF the very late
season, 10 make more than half a crop
in this vicinity. 1t is a gloomy picture,
but we are in letter condition te
stand it than we were last year, as
most OF the old debts have been lifted
Our town is full OF enthusiasm over
the round bale gin which Messrs.
Bowen IL Leverett will soon begin to
erect at this place. Then II we could
get the Parsons & Grenada railroad
extended through to this place We
would be ''in town" We already have
large square bale gin, and the two
com bined will turn out sufficient cotton
to almost warrant private company
10 building "a line from here TO Gue-
NADIA, to say nothing abost the vast
amount of timber and ether freight
that would be shipped.
We hope the SENTINEL will continue
to talk ''good roads" until the Board
OF Supervisors are persuaded TO give
us the benefit of the new law regarding
the working of same. Such roads as
we now have cost Us annually in time,
worry TO our teams and broken vehicles,
more than il would cost in cash money
TO keep them in passable condition.
Truly, the time has come, not for more
roads, bat better roads.
