Listens to a Lecture by Nat NJ. Brig

Listens to a Lecture by Nat M. Brig
ham, of Chicago, at the Parker
Home.
The second meeting of the year of the
Twentieth Century Club was enjoyed
Monday evening at the home of Col. and
Mrs. j, M. Parker, Col West Main street,
when Mr.. Nat NJ. Brigham, of Chicago,
appeared before the club in his lecture
on THE Grand Canon of Arizona.
A great many of the club members
and a few guests were present and the
Illustrated talk upon the beauties of the
southwestern country was greatly en-
joyed.
Mr. Brigham is not very widely known
as lecturer. as this is only his second
seasons work in the field. He wac first
introduced to the public by Bob, Bur-
dette. at Pasadena, Cal. last year, and
now is known as highly entertaining
talker on the general subject of
is"strange Corners of Our Country" his
repertoire embracing many points of in
terest in the great southwest.
Mr.. Brigham opened his evenings
program WITH three vocal numbers. He
has very pleasing tenor voice and. ac-
companied by Mrs. BellelC. Waldo. sang
1.-THE Danube River "Bendemeer
Stream" and Spanish love song. the
latter being given in the mother tongue.
The lecture proper then followed. and
was an hour In length, being almost
wholly descriptive of the country's
beauties The talk was a very flowery
one, couched in good English and was
very entertaining. One very excellent
feature were the stereopticon views
given by his assistant. Mr. Smith, illus
trative of the points of interest covered
during the lecture.
After Mr.. Brigham's talk buffet
lunch was served by the gentlemen of
the club, and Miss Bessie w. Parker
served coffee. The decorations Of the
home were OF LaFrance and mermet
roses Following the refreshments So
cial hour was enjoyed.
Mr. Brigham is perhaps better known
politically in the south and southwest
than otherwise. He has been identified
with these portions Of the country ex-
tensively for the past sixteen years,
and under former President Cleveland
was United States marshal of the terri
tory of Utah. Mr.. Brigham is "a Har-
ward man, class of so and cassmate
of President Theodore Roosevelt. Dur
ing his college career he was we'll known
as soloist in fhe Harvard Glee Club.

A FEW REASONS.
Which Are Rapidly Making New
Catarrh Cure Famous.

Which Are Rapidly Making a NEW
Catarrh Cure Famous.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. the new
Catarrh cure, has the following adj
yantages over other catarrh remedies.
First: These tablets contain no CO.
.caine, morphine or any other injurious
drug and are as safe and beneficial for
children as for adults; this is an i'm
portant point when it is recalled that
many catarrh remedies do contain these
very Objectionable ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this
remedy does not deteriorate with age,
or an exposure to the air, as liquid
preparations invaribly do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but 1t is
so far more convenient to carry and to
use at any time that it was only aques-
ton of time when the tablet will en-
tirely supersede liquid medicines as 1T
has already done in the medical de-
partment of the United States army.
Next: No secret is made of the COM
position of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets;
they contain the active principles of
Eucalyptus bark, red gum, blood root
and Hydrastin, all harmless antiseptics,
winch, however, uIe uSdli W SdlaiA i1ei
germs wherever found, because they
eliminate them from the blood.
Next: You can not cure catarrh by
local applications to the nose and
throat, because these are simply local
symptoms and such treatment can not
possibly reach the real seat of catarrhal
disease which is in the blood; for this
reason, inhalers, douches, sprays and
powders never really cure catarrh, but
simply give temporary relief which a
dose of plain salt and water will do
just as well.
Catarrh must be driven out of the
system, out of the blood, by an internal
remedy because an internal remedy Is
the only kind which can be assimilated
into the blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this bet
ter than the old form of treatment be-
cause they contain every life specific
known to modern science in the anti
septic form of the disease. eas
Next: The use of inhalers and
spraying apparatuses, besides being in
effective and disappointing, is expen-
sive, while a complete treatment Of
Stuares Catarrh Tablets can be had at
any drug store in the United States
and Canada for SO cents.

Colored Cotton Plants.

Hickory, N c.. Nov 21.-Mr. ]. T. Me-
haffey of Newton, is a successful cotton
farmer. He owns coed land and makes
satisfactory crops.
Mr.. Mehaffey delights in discovery. IL
he sees a strange plant he likes to pro-
ject with it, Three years ago he saved
the seed from a stalk of dark-purple
colored cotton that he found in one Of
his fields among the green plants. At
first he thought the stalk with the red
dish-purple leaves and limbs was freak.
but he decided to plant the seed and
watch the result. Like produced like.
The cotton from the seed came dark or
reddish purple. Seed were saved and
planted until now Mr.. Mehaffey has an
acre and a quarter of the odd looking
cotton. 1t is located in the heart OF a
large field of green cotton and is ma
tural curiosity. AS far as you can see
the field you can mark the difference. Nj
Mehaffey is very proud Of his new kind
of cotton as it yields we'll. The acre and
a quarter is good for a bale and half
this year, the staple is better than COM
mon cotton and there are additional ad-
vanteges. 1t is worth a trip out from
Newton to see this red cotton. At a
distance it looks like a patch OF large
beet plants. III. z. G.. b.
