woman cannot be entirely womanly
she cannot be perfect woman-if she

as her sickness affects tho organs that

part of her health If any thing is wrong
there, it may result in all manner of ills
all over the body. Careless, or two
busy, physicians frequently treat tho
symptoms of this kind of disorder as
separate and distinct ailments. The
symptoms arc many and varied, so much
so that when Il woman is sick in any way,
the first thought should be given to tic
organs distinctly feminine. About 9
times in 10 tho cause of the trouble will

Wanted-A Quiet, Respectable Campaign.

Courier: Not much plowing has been
done and planting time close by.
Wheat is looking fairly well, with a
larger crop than usual, and better prcpa-
ration.
Oats have been killed out by the hard
cold weather.
Fruit trees arc not in bloom yet. |
hope for good crop of fruit this year.
We will see by and by what will DO the
result of all things and crops.
The farmers are hauling Guano con-
stantly. The dc'lcrs say their sales are
large. hope the people will not plant
If every farmer will make his corn,
wheat, meat, syrup and all that can be
grown on tho farm-in short, make the
farm scli-Supporting, then what cotton is
raised will bring good prices and be al
most clcar, because the man who raises
his supplies at home does not need 50
much money. We must learn to make
what we need on the farm; then, and
until then, our condition will not be
much changed.
Road working will soon begin in this
community. Commissioner Haley has
appointed ovcrSccrS for some sections of
roads. This will relieve the contractors
and taxpayers. More work, better
work and less money will suit better
the hands on roads nearest to them. If
hand chooses to pay, apply the money
on the road where the hand was put by
the commissioner, and perhaps all the
roads will get some work. There has
! been SO much said and written on this
| subject, for and against, that | hope the
| day is not far distant when the roads
will all be worked sufficiently, and that
we will all be satisfied with the law on
| that subject
This year we will have before the pco.
pie men asking their support for every
| thing from President down to coroner.
| hope every voter will consider the best
interests Of his country and vote for men
for all the Offices that will best represent
tho whole people. Let us all work for
the common good of all and make no
| fight against any profession or class that
arc doing II Legitimate business But, on
! the other hand, let us try to help each
other. trust that we will have 4 quiet,
respectable campaigns: no unpleasant
| feeling or bitterness, but that each aspi-
rant will behave bccomngly throughout
the campaign.
| We prefer good government, and the
way TO get it is to elect good men to all

right way. We can better our condition
if we only will. Let us try and see what
can be done by proper management SO
