1t is very hard to stand idly by
and see our dear ones suffer while
awaiting the arrival of the doctor
An Albany N. Y. dairyman called
at a drug store there for doctor to
come and see his child, then very
sick with Group. Not finding the
doctor in, be left word for him to
come at once on his return. He al
so bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped
would give some relief until the
doctor should arrive In a few
hours he returned, saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was
much better. The druggist, Mr..
Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to thier neighbors
and friends until he has constant
demand for it from that part of the
country. For sale by w. J. Cox,

FOREST HILL.
our vicinity

Our school at Forest Hill Acade,
my closed on account of measles,
but we are glad to state that there
are no new cases.
We regretted very much to give
up our young poet, Prof. q. NJ.
Gooch. The young Professor has
been useful to our neighborhood
and we wish him abundant success.
His home is Lawrence, McNairy
County.
Mr.. Johnnie Holmes has become
such a frequent visitor to the ''Blue
Grass Valley" that there is great
cause for suspicion.
As "Uncle Moses" fears we have
exaggerated in extending to him a
cordial welcome, we are ready for
the investigation. So come on.
Our fair young bellies are remark
ably fond of ''Fish."
Mrs. Brewer and Miss Mary Lee
Breeder are visiting relatives in
Fruitland.
Mr.. f. NJ. Vincent has purchased
a new organ.
Quite a number of our Forest
Hill people attended the institute at
Glendale Academy Saturday.
As there has been nothing said
recently on the century question, l
would like to close the discussion.
| see so much on this great question
that | thought a poor little scribe of
Forest Hill might be noticed. 1t
takes one hundred full years to
make a century, and there has only
been 80 years and two months on
the 10th century, hence the goth
century will begin at midnight on
December next. The first century
did not end December 81, 90, but
December 81, 100, and the second
century began January l, 1Ol-and
so on down to the present. So the
Goth century will begin at midnight
December next.
Now, Mr.. Editor, "Quack" is
anxious to know what our CORES
pondents are going to do with the
six hours of each four preceding
years, as the calendar gives only %
days to February. We suggest
that some one lead out, and if their
views fail to meet our appreciation,
we will give ours later.
We think our public highways
are getting in the middle of a fix.
We have not been able to find any
one in our vicinity in sympathy
with the new road law. QUACK.

ALL this talk about invit-
ing democrats "to come back
into the party" is mere rot.
No true democrat has left the
party. Democrats have diff
fered in the past and will diff
fer in the future-they have
a right to differ. Much vi
tuperation and abuse has
been heaped upon that ele-
ment of democracy known as
the advocates of the gold
standard, and every effort
has been made to drive them
from the councils of the par
ty and prohibit them from af-
filiation in democratic gath
erings. The finger of scorn
has been pointed at them and
Walls of wrath poured out
upon their heads-simply
because they had the courage
and the manhood tC advocate
a measure they believed to
be to the best interests of the
country. But, when the
party assembled in national
convention, and a majority
decided contrary to their
views, they accepted the re-
suit and voted for the regu-
lar nominees, with few ex-
ceptions. Now, these dem
ocrats, true and tried, |
who have stood the test
and passed through the fiery
furnace emerging like pure
gold, are invited "back into
the party" They need no in
Vitation. They are at home.

that Spring is approaching, Judging
from the industry they are exercis-

The health of"our county is good,
so far as is known. Not a case of

have heard of. We have a few
cases of measles.
Messrs. Hiram and Jobe Tenny-
son, James Grantham, S. A. and
Melton Russell and Rev. J. G.
Gooch were pleasant callers at the
home of the writer recently.
Rev. J. G. Gooch preached an
interesting sermon at Hunters

"Uncle Moses" offered "Sidney"
a job of making ties, but for fear of
hurting his feelings l decline, with
thanks for his kindness.
''Edythe" says that "Sidney's"
measles was only that poetry break
ing out on the surface. 1t is quite
contagious, as Conrad" "Uncle
Moses" and "Franklin" all caught
it at several miles distance. If
"Edythe" stirs about much she will
catch it, too. | would like to hear
the noise she will make when she
takes it
"Edythe" has made complaint
because ''Sidney" did not take the
of the century question
and lay a foundation. 1t was first
intimated that "Edythe" wanted an
argument with ''Sidney." l think
It would be we'll for her to state her
position as regards the subject, and

WE have been frequently
asked why our County Dem
ocratic Executive Committee
does not meet and take some
action in regard to the selec-
ton of candidates for county
Offices, and we are cited to
numerous counties who have
acted in this matter. But,
did it ever occur to our friends
that there is nothing for the
Committee to do, save posi-
bly, to fill a few vacancies
caused by removal of men,
bers? There is not an an
nouncement in either of the
papers for county offices.
While those who intend to
become candidates are waiting
for the committee to act, the
committee, no doubt, is wait
ing to see who the candidates
will be. If you have decided
to offer your services to the
people, why not announce
subject to the action of the
democratic party? The COM
mittee is composed of honor
able gentlemen, good dem
ocrats. They will do what
ever in their Judgment is to
the best interests of the party.

Britain's Downfall Predicted.

Chicago, March President
David Starr Jordon, of Leland
Stanford University, of California,
lectured at All Souls Church here
to-day, speaking to large audience
on "'The Blood of Nation" He
said that the present century would
witness the downfall of Great Brit
ain. He declared that ultimately
the people of South Africa would
have their freedom
The speaker in emphatic terms
asserted that the present inhabitants
ofGreat Britain were a mere shadow
of their forefathers in point of brain
and health. Mr.. Jordon thinks
that nation that POUNDS its destiny
on war must reach a speedy decay.
He said great war saps the vitali-
ty of the best blood of the nation.
Mr.. Jordon deprecated the fact
that so many of the best youths of a
nation are killed during times of
war. He remarked that this account
ed for the existence of a weak
nation, both mentally and physical
ly. The speaker declared that
France more than any other great
nation had deteriorated. He said
war more than any other thing had
contributed to this sorrowful con-
dition. Among other things he
said:
81 think war.more than any other
agency destroys the vitality of a
nation. Take, for instance, the
present British-Boer war. The best
representative of both countries ale
on the field of battle. War not
only makes widows, but it prevents
many marriages. l certainly am of
the opinion that war is a curse on
any nation unless il is the result of
fight for freedom. Such a thing
as carrying on war for the sake of
encouraging imperialistic ideas will
wreck sooner or later nation that
tries such a scheme"

Republicans Loosing Ground.

On this, the third anniversary of
the Inauguration of President Nc.
Kinley, the political sentiment of
the country, judging from reports
received by congressman and state
ments in the press, has undergone a
great change, which points in a
large measure to possible Dem
ocratic presidential victory next
fall. Recent actions of the admin
istration, which dictates to Repub-
Iican congressman, have raised a
terrific howl in the party. The
seats of at least forty Republican
congressman were jeopardized by
the passage of the Porto Rican
tariff bill, and in order to atone for
the offense the recent snap trick bill
giving $4,000, 600 for the govern
ment of the island was passed.
The Washington Post, Indepen-
dent, but learning to every admin
istration, whether Democratic or
Republican, this morning says
editorially;
"In our opinion the Republican
party has lost ground to an alarm
ing extent within the past three
months. It's best friends and ablest
opponents have not been able to
explain the betrayal of our national
integrity, involved in the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, or to defend the
bad faith and cruelty involved in
our treatment of Puerto Rico.
We say nothing of the stupid mis-
in Cuba and the Phil |
lppines, the ugly and appalling
current with reference
to both them and Puerto Rico.
Having no certainty, we spoke no
word, but we assert, without fear of
contradiction, that the adm1nistra-
ion is daily losing strength on all
.hese scores, and we know, for
that thousands of men
who four years ago regarded Mr..
Bryan with terror and aversion now
consider him favorably as the lesser
